BIG COWS FROM
SANTA GERTRUDES.

The Santa Gertrudes ranch
shipped out from Alice seventeen
COWS to st. Louis Sunday. They
were Durhams and Herefords and
were 50 big and fatthat only seven
teen were put in the car. Cattle
inspector ". A. Hinnant and other
judges say they were the largest
and latest cattle ever shipped out
of the Alice pens.
Let us figure little before the
returns come in. Usually it takes
Is COWS to fill car and their
average weight is $50 pounds and
the average price is 3 cents. Now
that amounts to $3.50. The II
COWS above mentioned will average
in the neighborhood of 1850 pounds
and sell at 5 cents. Figure it out
and you viii see that those Il COWS
will bring $114750. If they sell
at the same price per pound as the
ordinary COWS they will still be
$3.50 athead. Then again it costs
less to handle, care for and
feed or Craze Il head than % head

CHEAP PAINTS AND
WHITEWASH

Whitewash made in the usual
way, then boiled, is used for the
base. Stir into each gallon of the
boiling whitewash tablespoonful
of alum. powdered, half pint OF
good flour paste and half pound
of glue dissolved in water. This is
nearly equal to paint and is quite
inexpensive.
Milk paint is made as follows:
Nix hydraulic lime with skim milk
until thick enough to apply with a
brush. The paint is colored by dis
solving diamond dye powder in
whisky and adding the desired
quantity. Try it on a board and let
dry to get the color wanted. This
paint will adhere to wood, brick,
mortar or stone, where oil has not
been used, and makes a very hard
and durable surface.
A very nice whitewash for rooms
is made of glue and whiting. Dis
solve the glue by cooking in cold
water over night, then heat until
smooth. Mix the whiting with cold
water and pour in the hot glue,
mixing we'll. Two ounces of COM
mon glue is needed for four pounds
of whiting. 1t may be tinted if
desired by using little diamond
dye dissolved in whisky, as men,
toned for the milk paint. This
makes a nice, smooth whitewash.-

supposed to be buried.

The eggs Of some common birds of
the present day have never been found.
There is the robin snipe; its eggs have
never been seen. An English Zoologist
kept a man going up and down the
coast of Labrador for weeks purposely
to get robin snipes egg, but it was in
vain. The bird is known by thousands
Of people, but it breeds so far north
and so remote from any civilization
that no scientific observer can ever get
to its nest ere the young are Matched
and have taken to wing. The frigate
bird that is so commonly seen at sea
on the Pacific and off the West Indies
is such a solitary bird and is so seldom
seen in its nest during the hours of day
light that its egg is rare. 1t seems
strange, but the eggs of so well known
a bird as the sandpiper have never
been found and are almost priceless.

MANS LITTLE TOE.


to an Early End.
Eminent scientists assert that the
small toe Of the human foot will be
crowded out Of existence by the end OF
the present century. Such is the view
Of chiropodists generally and of physi-
clans who have given the matter more
than passing consideration, says the
Philadelphia Press.
Just as, according to Darwin, the tail
was crowded out of the human bony
skeleton many ages back because it had
no useful functions to perform, just as
the vermiform appendix, the only APP.
parent function of which is to necessi-
tate dangerous and expensive opera,
tons, will eventually find no place In
human anatomy, so, according to pres
ent indications, the little toe must ulti,
mately disappear altogether.
Whether or not the big toe Is all that
is needed in walking and running is q
question which has not yet been salts
factorily answered, but the fact re-
mains that athletic instructors and
coaches have universally striven to de.
velop the big toe at the expense of the
others In the training of fast runners
and football players, and to that end
the shoes have been made SO narrow
that any possibility Of using the little
toe has been precluded.
Between the modern method of walk
ing and the wearing of tight fitting
shoes the little toe is doomed to an ear
ly end.
