Promise of Stability,

The new Cuban republic is inaug-
urated with some promise of stability"
said Charles Cassidy Cook, a New York
attorney to a Washington Herald re-
porter.
During the Spanish war Mr.. Cook
served in Cuba as a captain of volun-
teers, and a written much on the po-
litical and industrial conditions of the
island. In the late Cuban Instruction
he was legal counsel for the junta in
New York.
President Gomez is able and popular,
his cabinet is to be composed of gentle
men Of high character, and the new
congress will be made up. of distin-
guished lawyers, successful merchants
and astute politicians" continued Cap
tain Cook. 1.-The Cubans as a class are
patriotic and law-abiding. There are,
however, the chronic revolutionists
among them, who, unfortunately, can
start an instruction on slight pre-
text.
Yes, there are breakers ahead for
the Cuban ship of state. The Cuban

the influx of foreign capital, profitable
employment of the enforced idle, the

suppression of the many forms Of pub

earnings of the working classes, and in
creased foreign markets for Cuba's

ABUNDANT, and the plague was broken before
the remaining alfalfa fields had been overrun
In scattered centers mice continued in de-
structlve numbers until May, but without
gaining to any considerable extent by repro
auction they steadily decreased Later in the
summer they had almost disappeared from the
valley.
The scourge of mice had swept over about
four-fifths of the cultivated area in the lower
part of Humboldt valley. OF 10000 acres in
alfalfa, about $4,000 were so seriously injured
as to require blowing and replanting. Over
most of this the alfalfa was replaced by
grain crops for the season of 1908 at great
pense /and loss. since good alfalfa lands pay
gross returns of from $50 to $50 per acre.
while good grain crops return only S35 $40
per acre.
The shortage of hay on the Rodgers ranch.
where 1900 acres were in alfalfa, was estimat-
ed at 1000 tons. On Anker's ranch of $50 acres
it was estimated at 500 tons. Other ranches
suffered in proportion. and the loss of hay in
the valley amounted to not less than $4,000.
W. c. Pitt, who farms 1,400 acres of alfalfa
estimates his complete loss at $50 per acre,
or s2S.0oO. John Font estimates his damage
on 1000 acres at $4,000, and Mr. Anker con-
siders his loss on $50 acres to be $4,000. Mr..
Webb, on the Rodgers ranch figures the COM
plete loss on 1890 acres. part of which pays
considerably short of the best returns, at
$40, 500
A careful consideration of the losses in hay
pastuTage, root crops. and trees the expense
of restoring alfalfa fields to their former con-
dition. and deducting the value of a grain
crop for 1905 shows the average loss to be
about $50 per acre. On this basis the damage
to the valley amounted to $4,000
simultaneously with the plague in the lower
part of Humboldt valley mice appeared in
enormous numbers farther up the Humboldt
river and its tributaries about Winnemucca
Battle Mountain, and in Paradise and Little
Humboldt valleys AS the lands infested in
those districts were chiefly great natural hay
meadows of red top and wild clover, the dam
age was less severe However gardens and
isolated alfalfa fields were seriously injured.
Later. reports or mice in alarming abundance
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1909-11-10

smaller centers were similarly affected while
over the valley generally the mice were some
what in excess of normal numbers. This was
a condition similar to that presented in Hum
boldt valley during the spring of 1907, and
young of all sizes were abundant Examina-
ton of many females, large percentage of
which were pregnant, showed an average OF
from six to seven young, while in number as
many as ten were found Although alfalfa
already well grown, furnishing the mice album
dant food, by systematic poisoning under the
direction of the biological survey men. they
were so effectively reduced in the infested
areas as not TO be dangerous again during the
season-in other words, plague was averted.
The results actually obtained here prove
that mouse plaques can be checked. 1t takes
several seasons to produce a general plague of
mice, and damage is noticeable for at least
season before a serious outbreak occurs.
Though natural agencies may be depended
upon to overcome such abnormal numbers
finally, yet unless active repressiye measures
are taken. enormous damage to crops will re-
suit. Control, easy at first, becomes more and
more difficult as the mice increase in numbers,
and, after plague is well established. is very
expensive.
In Humboldt valley, in the beginning, a lit
tie poisoning with green alfalfa or crushed
wheat would have sufficed to prevent the
plague. During the fall and winter of 1906'07,
when the mice seriously injured fields here
and there. they could have been destroyed
with poisoned alfalfa hay. Even during the
summer of 1907 concerted and vigorous poison
ing would have destroyed them at cost small
indeed in comparison with the damage they
inflicted later.
Of the many remarkable features of the
mouse plague in Humboldt valley, none is of
greater significance than the large numbers of
birds and mammals which gathered to feed
on the mice. Under rows of trees about the
bases of fence posts. and scattered every
where in the fields were regurg1taIeo pellets
of mouse fur and bones, affording abundant
proof of the services rendered by birds, while
many holes and destroyed nests in sAe fields
showed the work done by skunks and coyotes.
So apparent was the assistance rendered by

Our Simplest Dishes That Are often
Poorly Served.

There are a few dishes that it
would seem all cooks should be able
to prepare with satisfaction, but when
one is served poor bread, poorer toast.
badly cooked steak and eggs and such
unspeakable coffee. we are appalled,
at the need for training along these
lines. Some of these so-called cooks
have not even the consciousness that
their cooking is bad. They are like
the woman who has a great deal Of
taste, but it is all bad.
There is hope and a future for her
who knows that she does not know
but deliver us from her who knows
not and knows not that she knows
not.
Any one may learn to cook an egg
or a steak, and serve good cup OF
coffee, but there must be thought and
science used in the operation.
A good loaf of bread or a crisp
piece of toast is not evolved without
previous training and practice.
Now, all these things are worth
while, and until we bring trained
minds and hands to the work, we VIII
have haphazard results. We hear
people say every day: II never have
good luck making so and So" There Is
no such thing as luck in cooking
Things are good because the condi-
tions are favorable, or bad because
they were not, and it is our business
when cooking to see that conditions
are right. One says: my mother was
splendid cook and she was never so
careful about her measurements" We
| must remember that an experienced
cook has a trained eye and 1t is hard
| ly safe to trust eye measurements TN
! til we have years of experience, SO
when we see her putting in a bit of
this and pinch of that she knows
| Just what she is measuring as we do
with teaspoon leveled with knife
Then let us not be satisfied until We
| have raised or standard of cookery
| in these simplest of our foods and
climbed from better up to best"
