An experienced date grower Of Cali
fornia who visited the lower Rio
Grande region of Texas two years ago
discovered large numbers Of date palm
trees, some Of them very old but all
of which were barren. He proposed to
pollenize the trees artificially and
share in the proceeds, proposition
which was eagerly accepted by the
owners. Hundreds of these trees are
now bearing delicious fruit. The poor,
crippled and sick Mexicans of that sec
tion regard the man as a sorcerer and
when he visits them they fall upon
their knees and beg him to cure them
of their infirmities.

Ration for Cows.

Experiments conducted last year at
the West Virginia Agricultural Station
go to show that, while ration Of grain
given to cows that are on pasture may
keep them In somewhat better physical
condition and keep up their flow of
milk, the Increase In butter fat is not
sufficient to pay for the cost of the
grain ration. This would seem to be
ON the assumption of flush pasture
and that the cows would eat additional
grass to take the place Of the higher
priced grain ration

Humane Slaughter of Animals.

The American Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals will
shortly begin experiments with a new
method for killing animals. Henry
Bergh, the treasurer and former presi-
dent of the society, has invented an
air gun of large size working like a
pneumatic hammer. The society some
time ago offered a reward of $500 for
an improved and humane method for
slaughtering purposes. Mr.. Bergh
thinks his invention fulfills the require
ments of the society for an improved
device for slaughtering animals.

INVALID'S SAD PLIGHT.
After inflammatory Rheumatism, Hair
Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed
Sores DeveIoped-Only Cuti-
cura Proved Successful.

About four years ago I had a very
severe attack of inflammatory rheuma-
tism. My skin peeled, and the high
fever played havoc with my hair,
which came out in punches. l also
had three large bed sores on my back.
l did not gain very rapidly, and my
appetite was very poor. 1 tried many
sure cures but they were of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Re-
solvent l had had no real relief. Then
my complexion cleared and soon 1 felt
better. The bed sores went very soon
after a few applications of Cuticura
Ointment, and when I used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for my hair
1t began to regain its former glossy ap-
pearance. Mrs. Lavina j.. Henderson,

CALLER LEFT IN A HUFF.
Innocent Thought of Business Man
That Gave Serious Offense.

Two business men had been talking
good naturally the other day. Their
conversation had reviewed a number of
things, and a remark made by the pro-
prietor as his caller was leaving
brought up the subject of prosperity
in rather awkward way.
Business with me has been a little
dull of late. I've had only few call
ers," he remarked.
The friend smilingly rejoined:
You'll have enough of them in a
short time-prosperity's coming right
along. Why" he added, emphatically,
the next time l drop around, instead
Of being able to chat with you for half
an hour, therell be so many people
ahead of me that it'll take me two
hours to get to you-maybe l can't
see you at all"
Il hope So rejoined the proprietor,
cheering up over the prospects of re-
newed business activity.
His caller literally "stormed" out of
the office, leaving his erstwhile host
in a state of bewilderment as to what
had happened.

81 holes, 60 feet deep, and spread out
over a large section of territory. The
last hole was being charged by John

injured.
