Possibly a New Line Of Business May

Until the country has enjoyed the
benefit Of untaxed alcohol for a year
or two, 1t will be wise to entertain
modest expectations of the benefits
it will confer. There will eventually
be q great demand for the fluid, for
power IL not for light, but 1t is too
soon to estimate exactly how great
this will be or what new industries
will be called into existence, One,
however, may possibly prove boon
to the cotton growing regions of the
South.
A writer for THE Manufacturers
Record" points out that an embarrass-
ment OF the cottonseed oil industry,
vvIth Its 900 estaLLshulents, ns ao,-
900 employees and its $100,OOO,OOO
capital, is the fact that the cotton
seed crushing season lasts only a por-
ton Of the year, and ordinarily much
valuable machinery must lie idle and
deterlorate sometimes for six or even
seven months. while the available
labor must necessarily shift to other
lines and thus become more or less
demoralized and Indispensable.
Such a situation implies a definite
amount of waste in labor energy and
a positive loss upon the investment in
the plants. Solution Of the difficulty
upon an apparently practical and
feasible basis has been made through
the Beard of Trade Of Little Rock,
Ark, by ]. A. Spurlin, it's official
chemist. In circular letter to the
cotton oil mill men Mr.. Spurlin finds
in tax free denatured alcohol a means
not only Of utilizing the equipment
of cottonseed oil plants during the
whole year, the manufacture Of. alco-
col succeeding the crushing Of the
seed, but also of making the industry
a dominant factor in the packing
trade.

A FABLE FROM NATURE.

A nightingale wooed, in garden green,
The loveliest rose that ever was seen,
And he sang for her, with his wilding art,
The tremulous plant of a wistful heart.
dearest nightingale" said the little rose,
'".Such a wonderful gift your songs disclose,
That | long for this world 10 share with
me
The magical charm of your melody"
The nightingale thrilled with n joyous
pride
As he flew to the treetops far and wide
And plaintive and lender and sweet he
Till the Whole green Garth with his praises
rang.
But the rose no echo nor tidings knew,
And paler and Trailer each day she grew;
Yet, bravely she answered the jeering
rain
"Nay, hushl for my love will come back
again"
When the first wild JOY of his song was
spent,
The nightingale back to the garden went
Dear rose, have brought you my fame"
he said,
But no answer came-fOr the rose was

Army regulations prescribe in de-

flag, and these regulations are implic-
lily and gladly observed. No matter
how little one may relish the duty Of
showing the respect due to some mill
tary superior, he is always ready and
glad to do honor to his flag. When
ever any one in the military service
Of the United States passes near the
unfurled colors, whenever the flag
passes before him. he Is required to
remove his cap in salute, and If sit
ting he is required to rise and stand
at attention" until the flag has

FARM AND HOME.
The Points Of a Good Horse.


Here are some good suggestions
from Canadian bulletin, giving the
points of good reliable horse;
IF horse is short-ribbed he Is
light in his middle and is nearly al
ways poor feeder.
He has not the stomach to con-
tain succulent food to serve him from
one meal to another.
"A light-centered horse seldom
weighs we'll, and weight in n draft
horse, II It comes from bone, slnew
and muscle, goes long way to de-
termine his commercial value.
"A stallion whose feet are con-
tracted and brittle and whose hooks
are puffy and leshy-looking should
be avoided, as sue. hooks are gon-
orally associated with coarseness
throughout his whole conformation
and a general lack OF quality.
When a horse is well coupled to-
gether on top and has a short back,
he must have the length below from
the point Of the shoulder to the back
of the thigh. When so built he will
stand the strain OF drawing heavy
loads much better than II he has a
long, loose back.
THE front feet and hooks are the
parts of either a draft or a driving
horse that come directly in contact
with the hard work, and unless they
are sound and good a horses useful
ness will be very much impaired and
his commercial value very much les
sened.
Before using a stallion, get the
groom to lead him away from you.
Stand square bohind him and see
that he picks up his feet and places
them on J the Sf E592uRRaaa D IERsRSRr
clean, not striking the ground first
with the toe and then bringing down
the heel.
"The feet should be large and
waxy in appearance. The sole of the
hoof should be concave, the frog
spongy, plump and elastic, because it
acts as q buffer to take the concus-
sion from acting too severely on the
foot, pastern and fetlock See that
both sire and dam have sound feet,
free from fairness, brittleness and are
not contracted. There should be no
"gumminess" about the hooks of the
draft horse, as it indicates coarse
ness. They should be large, fat and
firm, and should be wide, especially
from a side view"

Law Needs Reforming.

It is plain to Fourth Estate that
the libel law of Louisiana needs re-
forming, since it denies the right Of
trial by jury and restricts the right
of appeal. The case of Dominick
C. O'Malley in the New Orleans Item,
who was pardoned the other day
after spending several months in jail,
should lead to a demand by publish
ers in the State that when one of
their number is charged with GRIM
Inal libel he should have at least
as fair treatment as the law affords
to q sneak thief.

The Rabbit WEIGHED.

One day Wfllie's mother found her
young hopeful holding his pet rabbit
by the ears. From time to time he
would give Bunny violent shake
and demand sharply, 1.-TWO plus
two? Two plus two?" or Three plus
three? Three plus three?"
"Why, Willie" asked his mother
with deep concern, what makes you
treat your poor little Bunny that
way?"
WELL" replied Willie, greatly dis
appointed, teacher told us in school
to-day that rabbits multiplied very
fast, but this dummy can't even

Salmon Still Premier Fish.

Salmon continues to be the pre-
mier fish industry of British Column
bia. In 1906 the output was 1,167,-
AGO cases, valued at $5,750,00O.
over 100000 salmon were re-
quired to fill the 100000 cans.
and 1t is estimated that an equal dis
tribution among the entire popula-
ton would have supplied 200 cans
for every man, woman and child In

Few Dead DeIinquents.

Out West no man dies content I'M

casion on the death of reader to

Generating Electricity at Pits Mouth.

OF recent years good deal has
been said about generating electricity
at the pits mouth, and transmitting
it to various industrial centres. But
it would be considerably cheaper to
manufacture producer gas at the pits
mouth and transmit 1t through pipes
to the industrial centres, there to use
it for driving gas engines for general
ing electricity and also for heating
purposes and furnace work. The
question of the distribution and trans
mission of power must not be con-
fused. For the former 1t is agreed
that there is no agent to compare
with electricity. For the latter pur-
pose 1t is suggested that it is more
economical to employ producer gas
and piping than electricity and cables.

In these days of strenuous effort where
gigantic en- erprises are the one absorbing
question ring to the extreme on one's
vital forces and with the whirl and excite
ment of the busy city with its crowded,
noisy streets, there can be no rest. The
close application which is demanded OF
the business man, make it necessary that
he be healthy, hence the demand for re-
sorts the environments of which tend to
that aim. Half day of golf, a brisk walk
through the pines, or to indulge in any
one OF the numerous out-ot-door sport
sort of braces one up, but the trouble Is

opportunities.

Schedule Time For Rural Carriers.
The Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General has issued an ord n where.
by all Rural Carriers are required
to travel on a regular schedule, as
nearly as possible. The order
reads:
sPostmasters will see that Rural
Carriers adhere strictly to their
schedules as fixed by the Depart
ment, and that they so regulate
their rate of travel as to reach each
patrons box at or about the same
time every day. Carriers must not
loiter on their routes in order to
avoid returning to post offices with
collections ahead of schedule, but
after service has been complied
will proceed Immediately to the
post offices and deposit their col
lections and equipment. When
Postmasters find that carriers can
serve their schedules in less time
than fixed in their schedules they
should so report to the Department,
indicating the desired change, in
order that the matter may be con-
sidered, and if desirable the De.
partment will also consider the
arrangement of a summer and a
winter schedule. =
