HUNTING DOWN WILD MUSTANGS.
A Great Pest to the Ranchmen in the
Far Southwest.

1reat rest 10 the HanCnrneh IN lIS
Far Southwest.
Sport rivaling in excitement that Of
a buffalo hunt is scheduled to take
place in Washington and Iron counties
and across the line into northern
Arizona on Thursday, when the peo-
pie of the Canaan district expect to
set forth end exterminate as many

The hunt is booked to start at Pipe
Springs. Where it will end no one
pretends to know. The mustangs, or
desert horses, as so thick in the dis
trict lying between Hurricane Ridge
and Kanab Wash and over the old
Canaan range to Mt TrunbiIl that
ranchers are complaining on many
scores. The range is being eaten up
gentle horses are being run off, and
many valuable animals are being shot
by mistake by careless sportsmen
drawing bead On supposed desert
horses. So the populace has decided
that the mustang must go.
Two years ago a similar decision
was reached. During the progress of
the hunt then 80 were shot and left on
the plains, and 1900 were run down
and dispatched, with the exception Of
30 considered worth keeping.
II have often wondered why local
lovers of sport never come down for
such a drive" said l. c. MacfarIane Of
st. George. 1T is almost impossible
to get near the willy animals. !
crowd will start the drive. Relays of
horses and men are in waiting, and
one relay after another takes I'D the
chase until the wild horses are ex-
hausted. As fast as the boys get
within reach they pick off all the good
shots that present. The desert horses
are well-nigh tireless, but finally they
give out and are corraled. Those of
any value are saved, and the rest are
shot. The hides being quite a
revenue when you consider that a
thousand or more are killed off in a
bunch. The mustangs are an in
sufferable nuisance, and we simply
have TO do something to keep their

Use pancake litter to place cookies

to use a spoon with a perforated
bowl. Cost, 10c.
| Put WORKOUT pie tins in the sink

Rub little butter on the fingers
and on the knife when seeding raisins,

| If there is not batter enough to fill

empty space before setting the pan in

Crockery ornamented with gilt
bands or figures should be washed
quickly and rained dry, meyer wiped
even with a soft cloth.
Rub the inner casing of windows
that shove up and don hard with a lit
tie hard soap; treat bureau drawers
in the same way
Use cheap varnish to attach labels
to maple-syrup cans, to cans of tea
and coffee, to boxes of spices, starch,
etc, and all glass bottles. Never
leave glass bottle without label
To clean a kettle in which onions or
other rank vegetables have been
cooked rub with a cloth dipped in
hot, strong soda water then wash in
soapy water.
When black spots appear on dough-
nuts, drop slice Of raw potato in to

Two One-burner oil stoves are more
convenient than one with two burn

a little is run around the edge where
it has shrunk away from the glass.
Canned fruit which shows signs of
fermentation can be saved by adding
more sugar, some spices and a little
vinegar. If it has soured in the least,
put in little soda and cook until it
thickens. Use as a relish with cold
meat
Keep pulverized borax on hand in
hot weather. BoraX water keeps the
dish-cloths sweet, cleans silverware,
is used in boiled or cold starch, sets
red table linen and saves soap. Borax
powder sprinkled over fresh meat will
preserve dried meats from the attacks
of insects.
Use clean. soft rags to remove the
grease from kettles and frying-pans
before washing. Wipe all the grease
from the meat-dishes with rags or pa
per, and save all to start the kitchen
fire. Put your hand in a paper bag
when you black the stove.

The only attempt at a new 1e-

made with long coats Or habits to re-
place the ordinary waists. These
habits are worn over lace skirts or
skirts of thin material. They are
made of silk or brGcade tight fitting,
trimmed with lace and prolonged in
two long coat tails that come over the
skirt on each side about to the knee.
They have nothing particularly to

district;
Garrison, Texas, September 2t,-The
present condition of the COTTON crop In
This section compares very unfavorably with
its condition at the same time last year
The yield can he safely estimated AT %
20 40 per cent less than las, season The
crops on bottom lands, which promised
much II the weather was dry and the
frost late, have been seriously damaged
by the heavy rains, and much Of the cot,
ton has rottod In the boil. The wind and
water In bottom fields have delayed the
picking ten days or more.
The top crop theory Is not worthy Of
consideration It has no application to
this section.
The receipts at Garrison to date are ?2j
