Yucatan is the home of an uncanny
species of spider, known all over Cen
trail America as the ''mule-shearer. "
This queer representative Of the my
gale family has habit of creeping up
the legs of mules and horses and shear
ing off the hair that surrounds the
hoof, especially the fetlock The hair
gained in this curious operation is used
by the insect as nest-building ma
terial and is removed from the leg of
the mule or horse by a strong pair of
mandiblcs. which resemble those of a
"pinching' bug. Animals bitten by
the ''muleshearer' always loose their
hoofs.

0LEO IN MINNESOTA
Tons OF THE PRODUCT SOLD IN
THE STATE.
over Two Hundred Thousand Pounds
of OleomarRarine Disposed OF MIN
nesOta Within the Past Thirty
Dnys-Its Mnnufacture.

st. Paul, Nov. 25.--Now that the sub
ject of olconlarsarine is prominently be-
fore the public it may interest people TO
know that in October there was sold in
the State of Minnesota by wholesale deal
crs 1890 pounds Of oleo. These figures
are obtained from the Office of the COL
lector of internal revenue, for all whole
sale dealers are required by lag to make
a report each month of the amount of
their sales, and failing to do so will be
prosecuted if detected in the commission.
Oleomarg,rine factories are run under
the inspection of government officials, but
not under government control, as in the
case of brcwcries. 1t may be interest
ing in this connection to state the method
of making oleo, according to the e1plana-
ton made at one time before il senate
committee:
1.-The method of producing oleo oil is
as follows: The selected fat is taken
from the cattle in the process of slaught-
ering. and after thorough washing is
placed in a bath of clean cold water
and surrounded with ice, where it is al
lowed to remain until all animal heat
has been removed. 1t is then cut into
small pieces by machinery, and melted at
an average temperature of $50 degrees
until the fat in liquid form has separated
from the fibl'ne or tissue and then settled
until it is perfectly clear. Then it is
drawn into graiaing watts a,d allowed to
stand Il day when it is ready for the
process. The pressing extracts the stear-
inc leaving the remaining product known
as oleo oil. 1t is this article which when
churnel with cream or milk or both, and
sometimes with a small proportion Of
Creamery butter. the whole being proper
ly sailed. gives the now food product
oleomargarinr. Each animal yields an
average of about forty pounds Of oleo
oil -
