Our Enormous Mustard Crop.

"This country Is now growing q
larger part of the mustard put up in
England as we'll as in this country" "
said q commercial man, land Cali.
fornia is raising the larger part Of it.
The mustard seed has just been har-
vested in California and probably will
run up to 100000 pounds, or j..
900, 900 pounds more than the crop
of 1895. The seed lie kept six months
before being ground. The brown
seed has the best flavor and greatest
pungenoy, while the yellow produces
the most oil. The English mustard
packers have made the yellow the
most fashionable, however, and rs a
result there are ten pounds of yellow
produced for every pound OF the
brown, though the brown is stronger
and better in every respect. Prob.
ably one.half of the English mustard
that is used in this country grew in
California, though 1t was ground and
packed in England. French mustard
is the same as other mustard, the seed
being soaked in vinegar. properly
spiced. for twenty.four hours before
it IS ground. ."-Washington Star.

Part Chicken, Part Snake.

'I'll wager you never saw chicken
like that" said jacob Hope, OF Ninth
street, above Filbert, as he dived into
cage and sought out a mottled rul-
let. He would have won the wager.
Tor the pullet has the head of q snake,
as we'll developed as any serpent that
ever wriggled. 1t has no beak at all,
but in its stead is mouth. from
which darts back and forth, with all
the snakes characteristics, a red
stinger. To prove the strange resem-
blance Mr.. Hope reached into glass
case and brought forth gray and
white Mottled snake about seven feet
long, which he sffectionately twined
about his neck. II was hard to tell
which head looked most snake like.
Another odd feature of the pullet is
its lack of toes ana claws.-Philadel.

While it has not been making very

one of the very "livest" organizations
there is in lola. The Executive Com

months, giving prompt and careful
attention to all matters relating to
the industrial development ofthe city.
The REGISTER has been represented
at all these meetings, but it has OBJ
served the wishes of the club in max
ing no mention of the things that have
been under consideration. No good
could be accomplished by mass meet
ings and big newspaper talk, while
much harm might result from prema-

is enough to know that the interests
of lola are being most zealOusly look
ed after by the sagaciOus and public
spirited business men who constitute
the Executive Committee of the Conn
mercIal Club, and nothing that can be
devised to promote the growth and
prosperity OF the town is being over

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY,
CREAMERY AND COLD STORAGE
lola Assured of Another Splendid Enter
prise.-WOrk TO Commence at Once
1t Means Much to the Farmers.

Negotiations which have been pend
ing for some time were consummated
last Thursday night and as result a
company of which Mr.. J. w. Walton,
of Wichita, is the head and repre-
sentative, will begin work at once on
a Creamery and Cold Storage plant to
be located in lola.
The company has bought the large
stone building known as the old car
riage shops, and will have it thor
oughIy overhauled, putting on new
roof, laying new floors and making
the whole structure as good as new.
Work will progress as fast as the
weather will permit, and it will be
but very few weeks before the new
enterprise will he doing business.
The nature of the business is only
partially indicated by the name of the
enterprise. The Creamery part of the
institution will be devoted of course
to the manufacture of and sale of but
ter, and will be prepared 10 handle all
the milk that may be brought in, ex-
pecting in the course of time to es-
tablish skimming stations at all the
railroad towns within a radius per-
haps of fifty miles. But in addition
to this work it is the expectation of
the Company to handle eggs and
poultry on large scale. A cold stor-
age plant will be put in that will
enable the Company to take care of
these products in all kinds of wealth
er, and in any quantity.
All of which means that the farm
ers within a wide radius around lola
are to have an unlimited market at
prices that will always be remunera-
tive for all their poultry and dairy
products. They will be able to sell
their milk for more money than they
could get out of the butter if they
should make it themselves, and be
saved the work and trouble. And
they will always find a market for
whatever they may bring to town in
the way of poultry or produce. 1t
will be a great thing for the farm
ers.
And by the same token it will be
a great thing for the merchants as it
will contribute largely to the prosperity
of their best customers. 1t is good
thing all round, and in securing it
lola takes another step on the road to
prosperity.
Mr. Walton, the head of the new
Company, is now engaged in the but
ter and poultry business at Wichita,
having been in partnership with L.
d. Lewelling when the latter was
elected Governor, and has had many
years of successful experience. He
will bring all his interests to lola, be-
ing induced to make the change on
account of cheap fuel, excellent ship
ping facilities and nearness to the
great markets. We understand that !
his brother and Mr.. H. II. Funk, now
at NeOshO Falls, will be associated !
with him. All of these are not only |
good business men but pleasant gen.
tlemen whom we are glad to welcome
as citizens of lola.
