FROM OKLAHOMA.

Carney, Oklahoma, Eeb. 4,1903. Ed. Democrat:—Your welcome paper is a weekly visitor at my sister's home. Thinking perhaps a brief sketch of m> trip ana of this section of the country will be of interest to my friends and the readers of The Democrat, 1 will write you a few lines regarding the same. 1 left Wolcott Dec. 29, at 9 a. m., and our traiuwaited an hour and ten minutes at Eflner, then ran on toChenoa, 111,, where 1 waited from 2 p. m. till 2a. m , for the train to St. Louis Arrived there at Ba. m.; and stai 1 until 1:30 p. m , then took the train lor Sappol, where I again chatided cars at 3a. m. It was dark and raining hard. Arrived at Wellston at 8 a. m„ New Year’s day, and had to hire a rig and drive out to sister's. t here had been a wreck on .he road, and in place of getting through in two days and one night, 1 was two days and two nights. Last night was the coldest it has been smce I have been here, freezing some. Ever\hody is plowing fer oats and cotton, The cotton.is not near all picked; it was so wet in the fall that it did not open. It has not been so cold but a man could work outside in his shirt sleeves every day last month. My sister has kept milk in the milk box out in the yard all winter; it froze some last night. Respectfully,

SOUTH DAKOTA LETTER.

Armour, S. D , Feb. 7, 1903. F. E. Babcock, Rensselaer, hid. Dear Friend;—! take this opportunity to let you know how we are getting along, as Lpiomised you iliat 1 would keep you posted. We are all well and happy. Our corn was not as good this year as we would have liked on account of the early frost, but we believe it average with the corn 111 other states. Our small grain was excellent could not ask for belter. Stock of all kinds are doing very fine and I believe that we can make more money in this country on the same amount of capital invested, than we can in Indiana. We have had a bad, cold winter. In fact, the old settlers here tell me that this is the coldest and most disagreeable winter weather that they have had in the past twenty years. 1 have had some information front Rensselaer, ai.'l they tell me that Reed is going to sell out m S. 1). and return to lnd. I can say to you that this is absolutely false. 1 have never had any thing of the kind entei my head. Instead of selling out 1 intend to buy more land. If everything goes right with me 1 shall purchase another quarter section adjoining the 480 acres that 1 now own. My land is worth much more than I paid for it, and 1 could sell out any day and make a nice round sum. I believe that any man with moderate means can get along and make much more money here than he could in the east. We have a nice class of people here and practically all of the advantages that you have there. Plenty of churches, good schools and healthy climate. I can recommend this country, and I have now spent a year here and know about what it is. Would beglad to hear from you at any time, and would be pleased to give you any information that you may call for. Yours respectfully,

Read The Democrat for news.

CORN SCHOOL AND STOCKMtAN’S CONVENTION.

I attended the first Corn School of Indiana and Stockman’s Convention, Jan. 26 to 31, 1903. Over 100 farmers were present at the first session. The program of the week was opened with a lecture by Prot. Van Norman of Purdue, on “The Principles of Balanced Rations.” The corn school began its work by scoring samples of corn under the direction of H. G. McMahan, of Liberty, lnd., and continued throughout the week. Mr. McMahan was assisted by Prof. Wiancker of Purdue, and Mr. Shamel, who is one of the best expert judges of corn in the United States. Many of the improved varieties of corn grown in Indiana were used for illustrating the method of selecting se-d corn. In connection with the corn scorings, lectures were given on The History of Indian Corn, Selecting Seed Ears, Storing Corn, Distinguishing Characteristics of Varieties of Seed Corn, etc. livery leciure had a practical bearing upon this great American Cereal. In connection with the corn school, Prof. Skinner of Purdue, directed a practical class of judging live stock and pointed out the essentials in the beef animal in the more popular breeds. The afternoons were given to the study of the various breeds of cattle and hogs. On the 27th, in the evening, the Farm ers’Clubof the class 1902, which contains 115 boys, attended the school and gave a very interesting program upon the most leading topics of the farm arid work. And the 28:h, Prof. Munford of the! University of Ills., delivered one of the ! most popular lectures of the week on the cattle feeding problems. Prof. | Mumford is a recognized authority of national reputation. The interest was ! so great that nearly two hours were [ taken instead of the one alloted. The question of fodder shredding was ; generally discussed by the farmers. A j machine that will grind the fodder finer j was the opiu-on of the majority. Also a shocking machine was discussed but j only one farmer acknowledged it to work very satisfactory. The members of the Convention received a rare treat in a series of poultry talks bv Mr. T. E. Orr, of Beaver, Penn, fits talks were well received bv all j present and taught how to score .1 hen by the score card. A live interest wis taken" by all present and the I niver ' sits authorities gave ai a courteous treatment. A |.le.oaut banquet t was given Thursday night. A committee was app linte . to consider the movement oi S ib. Stations in each county, which will bring experiments nearer home. Also n re. ding circle organized. They have now an elegant new building, and students of the farm will be taken care of I came home much profited by school, my time and fare well paid for, and expeat to attend again next year which will be th% last week in Jan. 1904. Yours truly,

Tendency of the Times. The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of iotiuenxa (grip), and it has Ceen observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is Apprehended until It is suddenly discovered that there is fever and ditlicuity in breathing and pains in the ciiest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia, Be on the safe side and take Chan.beriaiu’s Cough Remedy as toon as the cold Is contracted. It always cures. For Sale by A. K. Long. HERE’S A BARGAIN. For Sftlo—The boat ton here tract iu RensHeltter, located nicely on n corner, six blocks from court house; very rich land.
