proud to note these material evil

that ere long Brownsville will take
her place as one of the most pro-

in Texas.

will not be made until about the
last of next week, the fires being
started to dry out the boilers, blow
out the pipes, etc. Everything is
practically completed at the plant,
only a little outside work being
yet unfinished. The plant is of 25-
ton capacity, and the machinery is
all of the most modern manufacture,
and the plant is one of the most
up-to-date in Texas. The plant will
be in operation in a very few days,
and in plenty of time to accommo-
date truck growers, who require
considerable ice in their shipments.
With the completion of the new ice
factory, Brownsville can boast of
two frst-class ice plants and it will
not be any trouble to keep cool
even in the most sultry weather that
visits this section.

One of the most prominent seedsmen
in this country recently told the writer
that the demand for cheap seeds was
alarming. He said he knew, as every
trained scotsman knew, that cheap
seeds could only bring unsatisfactory
results but as merchant, he could
do nothing but supply the demand. OF
course, there are farmers and garden
ers who still buy the best seeds, but
they are in the minority when the num-
Der of seed buyers is considered. The
unfortunate part OF this condition is
that the demand for cheap seeds comes
from farmers. The man with the small
garden wants the best seed and pays
the price; the man whose entire income
depends upon his crop buys the cheap
seed
Some of the smaller seedsmen have
given up handling anything but the
cheap seeds and our friend was afraid
that after a time all seedsmen would
be forced to a similar situation. Many
of our correspondents complain that
the seeds they buy are poorer each
year, which bears out the statements
of our scotsman friend. Farmers can
control the seed situation for them.

PRIVATE LIFE.

The private life is an excellent and
beautiful thing when it is founded on
affection and tenderness. But to lead
a private life, and only private life,
Is for most women not beneficial. 1t
narrows the mind and restricts the
sympathies. 1t makes woman think
that because she never ate her bread
with tears, bread comes easily to all,
and there are no injusticcs which she
need trouble herself TO rectily. In
words she may admit that women
workers are TO be pitied but in deeds
she will only be effective If she las at
some time of her life worked, felt and
suffered with them. And the time
is at hand when women of the indus
trial class who do not find that all
doors are kept comfortably open for
them will ask middle class matrOns and
maids for something more than philo-
sophie commiseration and the gratify-
ing assurance that "there is no place
IKE home."-Brooklyn Eagle.

Co-Operation in Cattle Breeding.

A good many farmers who have but
small herds are using grade bulls be-
cause they say they cannot afford pure
bred ones. Why not do as neighbOr-
hoods do in draft horse breeding, where
a good pure bred stallion is bought by
several farmers joining in the pur-
chase. By this kind of cooperation
among farmers in purchase of a prime
pure bred bull, n neighborhood could
soon grade up their common cattle till
they are worth nearly double what
they are now. In /? few years by such
neighborly cooperation the cattle could
be put finished on the market more
per head, and grade beef cattle would
be grown and fatted for the market
with a large saving of grain and food
stuffs when it is remembered that such
cattle could be put finished on the
market weighing more at two to two
and half years old than common cat
tie can be made to weigh at three years
old. Such neighborhood bull would
really be money maker for those who
are now using grade sire. Such CO.
operation partakes of the farm and
purposes of stock corporations in man
ufacturing, where several persons join
their capital because no one of them
has enough for the business. 1t is not
a new feature of industry, but can be
extended to cattle and other live stock
breeding and growing as successfully
as it is in manufacturing Indiana

Farm pastures are never largo
enough, and some way of economizlns
them is very desirable. One way is to
divide them into plots so that one part
may be used while the other parts are
recovering from the use of them. By
this device 1t is possible to double the
value Of the grass so that more sheep
may be fed on the same space of land,
says American Sheep Breeder. This is
most easily done by the use of portable
fences, which may be easily moved
and set up again where they are de.
sired. Such q fence is made in this
way:
The panels may be made ten feet
long and of picbets set upright; at
equal distances apart there are three
posts in each panel which project one
foot below the bottom, and these are
pointed. Each panel is ten feet long.
In the setting up of this fence each
panel is set somewhat out of the
straight line and a worm is made of
three feet out of the straight. Each
panel when set up is put on a slight
worm SO as to support the fence
against winds, and the corners so
made are fastened togethertSy short
ropes fastened to the end posts of the
fence panels.
When setting up this fence two men,
are to work together. One has a steel
bar or iron rod sharpened at the point.
With this the holes are made in the,
row for each post to be set in. Thel
posts are set with sufficient worm in it
to support itself for the fence and one
post goes in the middle of each panel.
The posts are well set down in tm
ground by means of a mallet and the
corners are well tied together by the
short rope and as we'll by a loop made
of the right size to pass over the top
of the each two end posts.

CONGRESS OF MOTHERS.

So commendable are the aims and
purposes of the National Congress Of
Mothers, it is not surprising the or
ganiZation has the hearty support Of
hundreds who are not mothers, but
who have the welfare of the country
at heart. AS the chief object is to
raise the standard of home life and
develop wiser, better trained parent
hood, the work of the congress is
civic work in its broadest and high
est sense. Juvenile court work and
the probation system have been sue
cessfully inaugurated in many local
tiles, and through the public schools,
the homes of the masses are being
reached. The preparation of chill
dren's school lunches, the hygiene OF
home and food supply, and the care
of childhood mentally, physically and
morally is furthered by the associa-
ton. The work of the congress,
though unique, many-sided, and far
reaching in its scope, is practical, eff
fectual. and vital. the sole aim being
the protection, in its highest possibili-
ties. of the home-the strength of the
nation. Only as all children have the
very best opportunities for develop
ment, will our homes, our schools,
our factories, our laws and our ma
tional life reach the highest standards.

PAPER HATS.

Some day when you have nothing
else to do try making a paper hat to
wear in the garden, says an exchange.
You will have to buy two rolls of
crinkled paper and few yards of thin
hat wire. Cut the paper in strips an
inch and half wide. Take three of
these strips and plait them closely.
When you come to the end of the paper
strip take another and slip it into the
folded end of the first strip, crush it
loosely together and keep on plating.
1t is better to use uneven lengths.
When the plat is quite long you can
commence the crown, To do this make
a little round wad with one end of
your plait, turning in the sewed UP
ends; then sew your plaits round and
round on each other. When the crown
is as large as required, sew the plaits
an a downward direction and continue
in this way, sewing them tightly to-
gethcr so that this part may be very
firm before starting the brim. Then
turn the plaits again and sew and plait
away until the brim is the size you
want. The hat is finished when you
have twisted it into becoming shape
and wired the brim.
