TheOiecotahTimes Oafa, Pate. OCUL NEWS OF THE WEEK Most important Happenings of the Past Seven Days, Honesty 8uccess. A- great fortune has been held, per Be, to be conclusive of double-dealing and fraud. To be oppressive and dishonest has been declared the only way to attain great financial success. TJili we claim to be untrue as a statement of fact, declares Leslie's Weekly, and ai the same time a dangerous doctrine by a plain law of psychology.

Young meq want success spelled with a big "3," and the ambitious are not satisfied short of a fair degree of material reward. For this there is no moral blame. But already the harm has been done in making the false suggestion that in order to be successful one has only to be "slick," overshrewd, dishonest. In the far-reaching Influence of simple suggestion we have one of the most valuable contributions of modern psychology. The smallest word of suggestion can reshape a career.

Thus the erroneous preaching of many a sincere moral leader has worked we know not bow much harm. With a true conception of what constitutes the highest aim of life, there has been coupled a false suggestion of how to obtain what may be called a lower form of material. On the contrary, the lesson always to, be driven home is that real moral, intellectual or comes only as the reward of honest effort on the part of every man. No other thought should ever be suggested. The surest way to any lasting Interesting Items Sathered From all of the World Condensed Into 8mall Space tor the Benefit of Our Readers.

These qualities were never more valued than to-day, and now, as always, they pave the road to fortune. Lung Exercise. Pure air, as every sensible person knows. Is essential to health. The man or woman who seeks to build up and maintain a good physical condition will try to dwell where pure air abounds.

Our first act In life is to breathe; the cessation of breath is death. Between that first InstlDCtJve act of respiration and the laBt feeble, fluttering gasp, how little practical thought is given tp the vital subject of correct breathing! "As free as air," runs the proverb. The economy practiced by many in breathing the proper amount of air would apparently mark it as a rare and expensive commodity. At least twice a day practice any good exercise that will fully innate the lungs and fill thr blood with life giving oxygen, recom- mends the New York Weekly Do not I breathe as if under a bell glass and you feared to exhaust the supply! Lie flat on your back upon the floor. Stretch the arms high above the head Inhale slowly through the nostrils un til the lungs are filled.

Retain the air as long as possible, then exhale slow ly, leHing the hands fall gradually to the sides, if practiced daily this breathing exercise will broaden and deepen the chest and effectually ward off incipient pulmonary trouble, as well as develop the figure. Of course it is understood that the exercise should be taken with the windows wide open. I for president was 375.895. Taft's plurality was 35,957.

Ida. Never feed more to the animals than they will eat up clean. Often the pessimist needs a change of diet as much as anything else. Keep down the weeds in the fall. It will lighten the work in the spring.

Pig raising is most successful where skim milk is a large part of the feed ration. Machinery all housed? You cannot afford to let the rust eat out the lining of your pocketbook. Irregular feeding is one contributory cause to horses acquiring the habit of bolting their feed. Put a mulch of strawy manure around the berry bushes and the grape vines, but don't put on too early. Your first mistake is excusable, your second, never; for no man has any business making the Bame mistake twice.

The dairyman's profits come in during all the year. That Is. one reason why that type of farming is better than any other. A good herd of cows of one breed and in thrifty condition is the best kind of an index to the character of the farmer who owns them. Colts will not raise themselves.

Hit- and-miss methods never yet produced the best horses. Remember that raising colts pays if you give them intelligent care. Careful feeding ran JffTep up the milk flow. It does not pay to let it run down, for once a smaller yield is established it cannot be increased until after another calving. The cold rains of the fall prove a great drain upon the vitality of the live stock.

The farmer that does not i shelter for the animals is working against his own interests. Not only place the farm machinery under cover, but oil It up so that atmospheric dampness will not rust the exposed bright parts. A little time now will save days of trouble next spring. A tidbit in the way of a piece of i sugar or an apple will prove ideal In winning the confidence of the colt. Always have something for him, and you will he proud and delighted at the attention he will shower upon you.

Grade up your dairy cows by Oct things in shape for the winter. Make the poultry anug. Try feeding wheat to the hens and see if it will increase the egg yield. Kind words Is the oil that makes the machinery of life run smoothly! Get after tbe tent caterpillars ln the trees. Cut out their nests and burn them.

Why not a good dairy If a dairy herd at all? You can have such by care in breeding. Currant bushes should be propagated only from bushes that bear the most and best fruit Attend to the tile draining this fall. Perhaps all that ails that young orchard is the need of tiling. Poison vines growing in the fence corners are poor testimonials to a farmer's character. Dig 'em out.

Good winter quarters must be provided for the sheep if they do well. They need sunlight, fresh air and dry floor. Neglected to mark the turkeys and now there comes the dispute with the neighbors as to who's who, and what's what Pound for pound, sheep manure is three times as valuable as cow manure. One argument ln favor of keeping sheep on the farm. The manure spreader is a drudge saver.

Many a farmer thinks he cannot afford one who would find that a few seasons' work would more than pay for it The overhead rack Is a poor place from which to feed the horse. Besides being an unnatural way for the animal to feed, it causes a great deal of dust, which is a bad thing. Have a hospital pen where the sheep that give evidence of being sick can be Isolated and treated. Many a contagious disease can in this way be kept from spreading in a flock. Pull a few of the tomato plants on which green tomatoes still hang and put in the cellar.

They will ripen and you will continue to have ripe, fresh tomatoes until after Thanksgiving, if you manage right. The chief trouble with the party line is that some folks make hogs of themselves and monopolize the telephone in visiting to the prevention of the transaction of urgent business by other partieB on the same line. The township or consolidated school for the country districts has this advantage that better teachers and better equipment can be provided at no greater expense than would be required for the several smaller district schools. No farmer ever did things so well but that somewhere there was room KK. WH P.

VAHLBEKG. Mr. William F. Vahlberg, Oklahoma City, writes: "'One bottle of Penina which I have taken did more toward relieving me of an aggravated case of catarrh at tbe stomach, than years of treatment with the best physicians. "I had given up of relief, and only tried Penina as a last resort.

"I shall continue using it, as I feel satisfied it will effect an entire and permanent cure. "I most cheerfully recommend Peruna to all who may read this." Peruna is usually taken as last resort. Doctors have been tried and failed. Other remedies have been used. Sanitariums have been visited.

Travel has been resorted to. At last Peruna is tried. Belief is found. This history is repeated over and over again, every day in the year. It is such results as this that gives Peruna its unassailable hold upon the people.

We could say nothing that would add force to such testimonials as the above. That people who have had catarrh and have tried every other remedy available, find relief in Peruna, constitutes the best argument that could be made.

109 jears.ojd, eMe wottmn fn Oklahoma let- nature do the reft' In two you In time a herd of sows that will prove far more profitable than your present herd. Raise the best crops you can and sell them at the best price you can, but don't speculate. The farmer that begins to deal on the grain market bas taken his first step to ruin, for nothing but failure and loss ever came to the farmer who tried his hand at the game. An old swindle that is being tried on the farmers again is that of selling them a new and wonderful kind of wheat and binding tbem by a contract to return to the man (who thus places tbem in a way to get rich), a certain number of bushels of the grain next year. Look out for it Sheep that have been a long time without salt are apt to make themselves sick eating too much of it when tbe opportunity comes.

Be regular in feeding it to tbem, or, better still, provide a box to which tbe flock can have access at all times. They will help themselves, and will eat only such as Is good for them.

Don't let the fences get in bad repair. It la not only an invitation to the stock to get breechy, but It makes the work of fixing them up much more difficult than would have been the case had they been fixed In season. Remember the old adage, "A stitch in time saves nine." A road which has successfully stood the test of two years at Mankato, and cost only 80 cents a lineal foot, was made by overlaying the ordinary road with crushed stone and gravel upon which a dressing of cement was spread followed by a coating of sand and then well rolled. In our opinion the best time for a cow to come fresh is In the fall, for the stimulus which then comes to the lacteal glands will with proper feeding and care continue a good milk flow through the winter; then, with fresh grass in the spring, a still further stimulus is received. On the other hand, the cow that Is 1 fresh ln the spring receives all the stimulus at once, then as fly time comes she begins to shrink and when she goes on winter feed she falls off rapidly.
