A CURIOUS LARIAT.

'1've a lariat home that is one of
the most curious pieces Of rope
you ever saw" said A. P. Ricke of
Oklahoma City, 'Tt is made of a
combination of buffalo, horse, In
dian woman and white woman hair.
| don't believe there's another like
it in the state.
'"There was a little old man who
had ropewalk up our way, and he
was a curio seeker. He spent sew.
eral years getting material for my
rope, a little now and little then,
but finally he landed it, The hard
est thing of all was the Indian wo-
mans hair, for, although they have
plenty and to spare, their customs
make it difficult to arrange for even
a lock. / got the lariat for a sum
that is large for rope, but small
when you consider its other value.
I've roped many a steer with it

Cotton Stalk Paper.

1t is now possible, thanks to re-
cent invention, to manufacture pa
per from the fiber of the cotton
stalk. 1t is asserted that all grades
of paper, from the best form of lin
en- to the lowest grade, can be man
ufactured from cotton stalks. In
addition to this, a variety of by
products, such as alcohol, nitrogen,
material for gun cotton and smoke
less powder, can be secured in pay
ing quantities, 1t is estimated that
on an area of land producing bale
of cotton AZ least one ton of stalks
can be gathered.

Cats Fur.

If there be any noticeable falling
off in the cat population, it may
without doubt be attributed to the
growing use of cat fur. The Phila-
delphia Record says almost any kind
of feline, it seems, will do for this
purpose, even the back fence vari-
ETY., if it be sufficiently well nour-
ished to make the coat heavy and
smooth. The pelts are worth here
from Is to rs cents each, and the
securing of them is something of an
industry in Philadelphia. The skins
are, however, sent to France, where
they are dyed and whence they re-
turn to this country as popular fur.
The skins of Maltese cats are some
times used without dyeing. Good
catshin looks very much like squir-
rel and is used in a similar way, be-
ing especially popular for hats and
hat trimmings.

The Vermont Cow.

The Department of Commerce and
Labor has just issued Bulletin Ga,
on the manufacture of butter, cheese
and condensed milk, -four and grist
mill products, prepared in the Blu
reau Of the Census. In butter and
cheese manufacture Vermont ranked
ninth i'll 1905, falling from seventh
place ia 1900, the figures, however,
not meaning loss in amount and
value of products
The industry in general advanced
rapidly from 1890 to 1900 and has
shown substantial growth in the
pas 'te years During the latter
pcm)d, however, the number of es-
adjustments showed decrease of
over three per cent. The decrease
is exp ed both by the consolida-
ton of lie smaller plants, and by the
"a + that many factories voluntarily
gave up The manufacture of butter
and cheese to engage in the sale Of
milk and cream.
Vermont, in 1905, had 22O estab-
h'hments, against 254 in 1900, but
the yalre of products increased to
$6,4iG,4@4 from $5,500,545 in the
same time, showing that the Yer
mont COW has not been idle, but
merely that her product has been
marketed under different conditions.
The average number of wage
eanIers dropped in the period men
toned from 496 to 419. but there
was an increase in wages from $780,
042 to $223,254.
Vermont is among the nine states
reporting the manufacture of more
than 100000 pounds of butter,
making 27,256,874, an increase of
ola percent. in five years. Wiscon-
sin leads with over eighty-nine mil
lion pounds.
Vermont had 172 establishments
for butter making in 1905, in which
$925,86l was invested. The aver
age number Of persons employed was
376 and the total wages $2OO,28l.
In number of butter factories or
creameries Wisconsin ranks first
with 9O2; Minnesota had 7l2, Iowa
COZ, New York SAB, Pennsylvania
$40, Illinois $40, California 23l, and
Michigan 203. Wisconsin, with 1854
establishments, led in the number of
cheese factories.
Vermont has but one condensed
milk concern, though the growth of
the industry in other states has rela-
lively been larger than that of either
the butter or the cheese industry.
The Vermont COW is busy ami
NAL, and makes very good showing
in the statistics, even though a milk
trust may be getting hold on her
products.

Alien, a New Metal.

Alien is the name given to a new
metal, which is composed of two
parts of aluminium and one part of
zinc, writes Frankfort correspond
ent. 1t is said to equal cast iron in
strength, but is much more elastic.
Alien is superior because it does not
rust as easily as does iron, and it
takes high polish. Besides being
very strong, this new metal is capa-
BILE of filing out the most delicate
lines and figures of forms in cast
ing.

Trypsin, the remedy now on trial
for the cure of cancer, is one of the
secretions of the pancreas, says the
London Globe. 1t is powerful fer
ment. If the whole amount secret
ed for digestion were absorbed into
the circulation unchanged, it would
digest the body itself and so cause
death. Trypsin dissolves otherwise
insoluble proteids, converting them
into peptones, 1t is also able to
split up these latter bodies. The
use Of trypsin in cancer was first
suggested by DR.. Beard of Edin-
burgh. 1t is stated that several
cases of cancer have been cured or
much improved by injections Of
trypsin.

Town meeting day is at hand and
it behooves the wide-awake voter to
give some intelligent thought to the
article in the warning in regard to
the purchase Of road-making ma
chinery. The value of good roads to
community cannot be over esti-
mated in these days of progress and
improvement. They are good in
vestment as saving time, which is
.ler.toysand unnecessary labor, which
is more money to the local people
who use them daily. They are like
wise a good investment as bringing
the travelling public, which spends
much money, to the places where
good roads are to be found. The
summer visitor is almost always a
cheerful spender of money and that
habit should be encouraged. IF he
INDUCES in any recreation at all he
drives, either horses or an automo-
bile. In either case he wants good
roads and will go where they are to
be found If our roads are not as
good as they should be it's for the
good of ourselves and our pocket
books to make them better and if we
need road building machinery to
make them better let us have ma
chinery. 1t will pay.

EIectricity as an Anaesthetic,

A discovery in anaesthetics is that
of DR.. Stephen Leduo, a Partisan
physician, who destroys sensibility
all over the body by sending mild
alternating current Of electricity
through the brain in the same gen
eral manner as in electrical execu
tions. In this case the patient loses
consciousness, but in every other re-
spect important advantages result,
There : is no nausea, weakness or
languor and no effect on the heart,
The patient becomes conscious the
instant the current is shut off, and
with a decidedly invigorated sensa-
ton.

Feeding Green Cut Bone Paws.


Mr.. A. F. Hunter, who is one Of

England Farmer, not long ago said
IN the columns of that paper: "Feed-
ing fresh cut bone to fowls, to in
duce abundant laying, has proved a
decidedly profitable thing. The
bones are rich in animal matter and
contain lime of which the egg shells
are made and hens fed on fresh cut
bone will lay larger number of eggs
than if fed no bone. Not only will
they lay larger number of eggs, but
the eggs will be stronger-bodied, will
be better eggs and if incubated will
have better and stronger chicks" G.

LAUNCH LOST

Eddie Devauchelle wanted to go from
Lahaina to .Mololai during the recent
heavy storm, Saturday, December 90
He feared that his launch would be in
jured in the rough sea at Lahaina and
against advice Of friends, started for
Pukoo at p. m. Bill Jones accom-
panied him to run the engines. They
got as far as Kaanapali where the surf
was too high to enter. In attempting
to. make the launch fast to a scow the
launch was injured, the scow coming
down on the bow of the boat and caus-
ing her to leak. With difficulty the
hole was plugged and once more they
put to sea, making Napili, Maui about
y a. m, a distance of only about ten
miles from where they had started
Here Duvaurhvile and Jones anchored
the launch and swan ashore. In the
morning the boat was found to have
been smashed to pieces.
