DEHoRNlNC STEERS.

An Outfit by which a Skilled Man Can
clip a Thousand Horns n Day.
This is the time of the year when
experts upon the big cattle ranches of
the west do wonders in dehorning.
The long horn has been cast aside.
The cattle fare better with short
horns, do not injure each other and
may be herded corraled and shipped
closer together than they could be did
they wear the great spreading horns
with which the popular mind associ-
ates the Texas steer.
Out on the big ranches they are
now rounding the cattle in for dehorn-
ing. The dehorner is as much an ex-
pert in his line as the rope thrower is
in his. The cattle are corraled and ut
the exit, where but one steer may pass
at a time, is a small pen, called the
stock. At the closed end is an open
ing between bars sufficiently large to
lead the steer to thrust his head
through Three men stand waiting for
him. One of them throws down q
wooden bar. which clamps the animal
in a viselike grip and holds his head
where he has thrust it. The dehorn-
ers stand upon the right and left
They carry long-handled steel clippers
and when the steer is caught in the
stock they throw these over the horns
and snip them off in a jiffy The bal
is raised and the steer is released tC
make room for another. In a day
skilled dehorner can clip thousanl
horns.
In more northern ranches the de
horner takes precautions against thu
dehorned cattle taking cold. Whel
the horn is clipped a gouge is used q
hollow out the stub of the horn. Ia
is thrust into this, sealing it and pre-
tecting the animal against cold. Tn

THE COOKING or cRANezRRlEs.
Recipes Well Reconhmended for the Prep
aratiOn of This Delicious Sauce.

Recipes Well Recon- IN ended for the Prep
aratiOn of This Delicious Sauce.
AS cranberries contain such acute
acids, there is no fruit which will as
quickly act upon tin, iron or brass
when brought in contact Hence al
ways cook cranberries in eartlen or
porcelain-1ined vessels or granite or
agate ironware. AS soon as the sauce
il done. remove from kettle to an
earthen or glass dish. Never let any
article of food containing cranberries
stand in anything but earthenware or
glass. Granulated sugar should al
ways be used, as poorer Gualitles~of
sugar OF molasses destroy the flavor
of the fruit. Wash the fruit and sort
out defective berries before cooking.
One quart of cranberries. two cups
OF sugar, half cup of water dissolve
the sugar in the water to make a sy-
rup. wash the berries and pour them
for a moment into a pan of boiling
water, drain, drop into the boiling
syrup ana boil for about 10 minutes.
'Sift together two cups of sifted
flour, four teaspoons of baking powder
and one-third teaspoonful of salt, rub
onefourth cup Of butter into the -four
add two welI-beaten eggs, one cup OF
rich milk, and stir into the flour with
one pint of cranberries. Fill buttered
cups about half full of the mixture
and steam one hour in closely COW
cred steamer, serve with cranberry
sauce.
Boil two cups of sugar and one cup
of water about five minutes. add cup
of thin cranberry juice and serve hot
If a thicker sauce is desired stir in
one-half or one teaspoonful of corr
starch (made smooth in little water)
let cook 10 minutes, add a tablespoon
full of lemon juice to accentuate the
flavor and teaspoonful of butter.

CIRCULATING SLANDERy
Senator Kennedy and Postmaster
Smith Have Street Fuss.

Burlington, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE Jefferso-
MAN says:
An alteration occurred between Post
master c. o. Smith and Senator ]. A
Kennedy Friday evening as the result of
the sort of politics practiced in this county
by some one. The friends of both parties
are very sorry the affair occurred.
The trouble arose over some SlanderOuS
reports Senator Kennedy had heard which
were said to emanate from those who are
opposing him in this county. These re-
ports were of very serious nature and
aside from their political effect We're
enough to make any self-respecting man
mighty mad.
Friday evening as Mr.. Smith was going
by Senator Kennedy's home Sixth
street, Mr.. Kennedy stopped him and ac-
ports Mr. Smith strongly denied it. but
said that he had heard of persons saying
those things After bitter words there was
a brief struggle.
The entire affair is greatly regretted. 1t
IS a sad commentary on Coffey county
politics that some politicians find it neces-
sary to tell ScandalouS stories about rep
utable women. married or single, to de-
feat a man for office.
Mrs. Kennedy is Frustrated over the af-
fair She is in a serious condition and is
under a physicians care.
Senator Kennedy says he intends to find
traction made. Those he has seen deny
origina ting or telling the stories and he
expects to keep on until he learns who is
responsible.
Mr.. Smith denies any responsibility con-
corning the stories

FIGHT FOR A TOWNSHIP.
Indians Make Claim to SO Sections
of Land.

Chicago, Feb. ia fight to regain SO
sections of land in Indiana has been
begun by the Miami Indian nation. Two
local lawyers experienced in this line of
legal business have been retained, and
the campaign will be pushed both in the
courts and at Washington.
The land is situated in Grant, Miami,
Wabash and Mercer counties, Indiana,
and came into the possession of Chief
Ma-Chim- Go-Mish-Ah, for the use of
his tribe, in 1918 by a treaty with the
government This treaty is said to have
specified that the land should not be
taxed and that it could not be sold
except by consent of the government.
Despite this fact it is claimed that
much of this land passed to other hands
for nonpayn ent of taxes, and a great
deal of the remainder was lost by the
Indians through their ignorance. A
mass meeting of the Miami nation,
numbering about 450 persons, was held
recently at Marion, Ind. 1t was re-
solved to raise a fund to fight for the
land. The Chicago lawyers who We're
retained returned to Chicago today and
stated that immediate steps would be
taken.
