FARM AND LIVE-STOCK NEWS. 
Hungary is the corn belt of Europe, 
according to Dean Price of the Ohio 
State University. There are occasional 
conditions, Mr. Price says, under which 
it may be possible that the American 
farmer will return to the use of oxen as 
they have done in Germany. Cattle are 
triple purpose animals in some countries, 
they furnish dairy products, flesh and 
power, and the reason why Germany has 
adopted the ox as a draft animal is be¬ 
cause of its economy in growth and main¬ 
tenance. 
Recent heavy rains in Cuba have seri¬ 
ously affected the outlook for the to¬ 
bacco crop, and some reports indicate 
that this crop has been destroyed. This 
is supposed to oover nearly all sections 
of the island. Sugar cane has been re¬ 
ported badly injured by the rains. 
“Made in Onondaga” will be printed 
on all containers .of dairy products, is 
the plan proposed by the Onondaga 
Dairymen’s Association, in New York. 
At the recent meeting of the association 
a movement was suggested that higher 
testing blood should be introduced in 
their herds. 
Farmers of Ohio await with interest 
policies of newly elected Governor Willis. 
The Agricultural Commission created two 
years ago, the four” members of which 
received salaries of $5,000 each, the Gov¬ 
ernor plans will be supplanted by a bi¬ 
partisan Board of Agriculture, to serve 
without compensation, and to be elected 
by the agricultural interests of the State. 
The Governor advises that this board 
should have the authority to select a 
Secretary of Agriculture, and should 
have the power to appoint the chiefs of 
bureaus in that department. He contends 
that farmers' institutes could properly 
be carried on in connection with the 
agricultural extension work of the State 
University, and that the management 
of the Ohio Experiment Station at 
Wooster should be in the hands of a 
board of control to be appointed by the 
Governor, and serve without pay. In 
all public duties dealing with agriculture, 
the new Governor advises that farmers 
be appointed and that economy should 
be practiced.

Jan. 25. Farm work at a standstill, 
except where such work as milk produc¬ 
tion is carried on. Where any timber 
is left it is generally being cut for paper 
wood, and the seasoh has been one of 
good roads for such work. Some farmers 
are planning improvements, new build¬ 
ings. etc., with rough lumber at $20 per 
1,000 feet. A few years ago the same 
material was sold for $G. Each year 
farmers are giving more attention to do¬ 
mestic comfort and home improvement, 
and quite a lot of our farme s have mod¬ 
ern water supply, gasoline engines for 
women’s use and some have gone far 
enough in the line of progress to instal 
modern heating plants. Prices for farm 
stuff of every kind are on a 35-eent-dol- 
lar basis, except where they can deliver 
in small orders. Ilay, $13 to $14 on car; 
straw, $8 to $9; oats, 55; corn, 80; 
wheat, not much for sale; $1.25. Pota¬

Weather is and has been very pleasant; 
good roads for month past and heavy 
snow went away so as to avoid flood and

Jan. 25. This is a fruit and general 
farming section. S aying is thoroughly 
done. Most apples moved last Fall at 
about $1.50 a barrel f. o. b. for “A” 
grade. Cider apples were $3 to $4 a 
ton and hundreds of tens went to waste. 
Soekol pears, $3 a biuqpl, tree run just 
for the fruit. K effor pears, graites and 
sour cherries were low. Strawberry and 
dewberry men had a good season, both 
as to yield and price. Grade cows, fr sh 
or to fros' en soon, $60 to $80. Light 
pork, $10.50 per cwt. Rye, $1.10 per 00 
pounds. Little other grain raised for 
sale. Hay delivered, $14 to $18, accord¬ 
ing to quality. Rye straw, $11 to $12. 
Horse market has not opened yet, but

are very low at the present time. Pota¬ 
toes have not sold for more than 35 cents 
a bushel and many at 30. The farmers 
are holding them for 40, but there are no

Breezy Notes from Oklahoma. 
O NE of our merchants says “I have 
three prices, one for the farmer, 
one for the Indian, and one for 
the oil man.” It is honest in him to ad¬ 
mit it, but conditions are fully as out of 
joint here as his statement of prices. We 
are paying $11 a ton for Alfalfa hay, 
and $17 a ton for prairie grass, and we 
get many more dollars in feeding value 
out of the Alfalfa than the prairie grass. 
We can raise Alfalfa, but inactivity or 
indisposition leads the farmers to ignore 
this valuable crop. One farmer has 40 
acres around Osage, and he secured the 
stand with but little difficulty. Most of 
the farms are tilled by cotton farmers. 
They are a hopeless class; they pay $3 
an acre rent for the land, while the per¬ 
son from whom they secure the lease, 
rents this property from the Government 
which acts as “business manager” for 
these Indian lands. The Government 
charges 30 cents an acre. One land 
baron has rented all land within a dozen 
miles, and has no trouble in making 
1,000 per cent, from the small ignorant 
cotton farmers. There is no future for 
these farmers other than impoverished 
soil and high rents. They are generally 
ignorant, live in rude huts, have large 
families and keep many dogs. There is 
much land used for pasture, some large 
ranchmen rent at minimum figures sev¬ 
eral thousand acres. The cattle are a 
scrub lot; some indicate Shorthorn an¬ 
cestry, and most are nondescripts. Cows 
in this territory are selling for $75 a 
head, and many of them are brought from 
Texas, where Herefords or Shorthorns 
of good breeding are taking the place of 
the native scrubs. These cows bring $75 
a head in our section, and the calves are 
allowed to run with the mothers. 
No effort is made to feed cattle sys¬ 
tematically on many of these large acre¬ 
ages. I have seen ranchmen haul great 
loads of oil cake out to their ranches 
miles from the railroad or milil, feed 
this in large quantities to their stock, al¬ 
low them to run during the Winter, pick¬ 
ing up here and there what dry dead 
grass they could, and in the Spring the 
cattle would be so poor because of this 
unbalanced ration that they could scarce¬ 
ly stand alone. On the large areas there 
is no attempt at feeding aside from oil 
cake. Little oats or wheat are raised 
here; we buy oats, paying about 55 cents 
a bushel. When hot weather comes the 
people become lifeless and lie around 
their cabins all day. The Indians are 
the leisure class, and draw big pensions 
besides. The Indians, men and women, 
boys and girls, all get a chance at the 
eighth barrel of oil, and the Government 
divides returns equally with them regard¬ 
less of age or sex, or whether or not their 
land produces oil. When the Indians go 
to Pohohoskey for their allowance at the 
end of three days they do not have a 
cent left, it is all “blowed” for fire water, 
trinkets, gaudy blankets and cloth at two 
or more prices. My home was in Western 
Pennsylvania, and I would advise the 
Eastern man to stay East, and dig at the 
end of the rainbow on his old farm. We 
have some “accidentally” successful men 
in this territory, but their success has 
been at the expense of a hundred unsuc¬ 
cessful and ignorant whites, Indians and 
negroes. c. F.
