known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family

on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

HEMP Plan, AIono Cult Coast.


The valuable nature OF the work
now being carried on in Texas by the
United States Agricultural Depart
ment Is again shown by the discovery
that the "abacos or hemp plant can
be successfully grown In the South
west Gulf coast country. Expert
ments have been carried on the last
year and the horticulturists are con-
vinced that this valuable addition
can be made TO the list OF Texas
crops.
1t has long been the theory that the
hemp plant would not grow success
fully in any section Of the world ex
cept the Philippine Islands. Efforts
have been made to transplant 1t to
Africa, India and South America, but
with little success Heretofore Manila
has had a monopoly OF the hemp trade
and the finest ropes and cordage come
from that city.
The hemp plant is q variety OF
banana and has exactly the same ap-
pearance as the broad leafed plants
found growing In many San Antonio
yards. 1t was quite by accident tha.
the discovery was made that the
hemp plant could be successfully
grown in Texas-San Antonia Ex-

SINGING MILKMAIDS.

In the little mountain republic OF
Switzerland dairy farming approaches
nearest to perfection. One of the
queer things noticed in that land Is
that the maids always sing while
milking. A COW likes to hear the hu.

singing the more milk she gives. This
is no joke, but an authenticated fact.
