The Cotton Gin-After several
postponements, it is now announced
positively by the manager, Martin
Besteiro, that the Planters gin will
begin operations Saturday.
Already there has beer brought in
cotton sufficient to make so bales
Mr. Besteiro fully expects this sea-
sons ginning to reach 1000 bales,
notwithstanding the back sets that
the cotton crop has received. All
of the cotton that has been brought
in so far is of good quality. Mr.. Bes-
teiro says, the grade being between
strict middling and good middling.
Seeing Coast ard Valley Sunday,
General Traffic Manager Doherty pi-
loted a party consisting of his guest,
Herbert kaufman, DR.. Pierre Wilson,
T. A. Schaff of Harlingen and E.
Ezell to Tarpon Beach. Mr.. Kauf-
man was very anxious to hook a tar
pom, bIlt despite an afternoon in
tense concentration upon that work
he had to reel in his line at dusk I'M
satisfied. The entire party returned
Monday morning and went up the
branch on Mr.. Kaufman's private car
The latter and Mr. Doherty will spend
two or three days looking over the
upper part of the valley before saying
adios to the Rio Grande. Mr.. Kauf-

Settled AmicabIy-Two well known
farmers of this vicinity held the
boards in the court of Justice of the
Peace Gavito yesterday afternoon,
one as complainant, the other as de-
PENDANT. The complainant alleged
that the defendant had threatened
to do him bodily damage. The story
of the trouble between them was
bought out before the justice, and in
the course of the investigation, the
two men began to see the matter in a
different light, with the result that
they finally concluded to settle the
dispute between them without the as
sistance of the justice. The latter
gladly dismissed the suit and the two
farmers left together When last seen
they were shaking hands very annie
ably over a glass of ''suds.
Change of Conductors Service-A
change has just gone into effect on
the Brownsville road, whereby the
Hidalgo branch line now has a con-
duetor all to itself, and the passenger
conductors are no longer required to
take runs alternately on the main
and branch line as heretofore. I'm
der the former rule, the conductor
coming down on the night passenger
train from Kingsville has been re-
CURED to take the branch out the
following day, thus alternating be-
tween the main line and the branch
Under the new rule, A S. Richard
son has been assigned to the branch
line as its regular conductor Another
change in conductors that went into
effect simultaneously with the fore
going change is the transfer of Capt
P. A. Koran from the Brownsville di-
vision to the Houston division, Con-
ductor j H. Hostrasser taking the
run on this end in his place Con-
ductor S. L. Franklin continues on
the run between Brownsville and
Kingsville as formerly.

FIRST CAR OF COTTON SEED.
Was Shipped From Mercedes to Hous.
ton Yesterday.

The first car load of cotton seed
to be shipped from the valley this
year and the first that has ever been
shipped from Mercedes was forward
ed from that point yesterday to Hous-
ton. Mr.. Grogan, who, by the way,
is one of the best known oil mill men
in the country, was in Brownsville
last week looking into the question
of establishing an oil mill here and
expressed himself as greatly pleased
with the outlook for cotton in this
valley. He is now negotiating with NJ.

Ribbon bandeaux are always suitable,

above 40 degrees F., the whipping was

IL The use of vanilla extract used in
ordinary quantities had no effect upon
the whipping qualities of cream.
H. The charging of cream with car
bonic acid gas without pressure had
no effect upon the whipping qualities
but caused it to remain sweet from Il

than did cream from fresh COWS.
IA. Whipped cream will not keep

chaser.

cities. Double cream only can be used
for whipping. The Maryland expert
ment station publishes the following
facts regarding whipped cream:
l. There was no difference in the
whipping qualities of gravity and sepa-
rator cream. When any difference is
experienced it is due to other factors
and not the method of getting the
cream from the milk
2. Cream for whipping purposes
should contain at least 20 per cent but
ter fat. The best results were OBJ
tanned with cream containing from IS
to 40 per cent butter fat.
3. For best results cream should be
held at as low temperature as pos
sible (35 to As degrees F. for at least
two hours before whipping, and should
be whipped in cool room
4. For good results cream should be
from II to "a hours old This gives the
opportunity for the development of a
small amount Of acid in the cream
The acid effected a gelatinous consis-
tency in the casein and albumin and
thus facilitated the incorporation Of
air in whipping. When it is desired
to whip fresh cream $40 per cent COM
mercial Tactic acid may be added to
take the place of the acid which would
develop by setting the cream from ~
to "a hours
Pasteurized cream may be
whipped as easily as unpasteurized if
it is thoroughly cooled and held at 35
to As degrees F. for at least two hours
before whipping.
6. For good results cream should
whip in from 80 to 60 seconds. When
longer time is required there is dan
ger of some OF the butter fat separating
or churning.
Z. The addition of one tenth to three
tenths per cent of commercial Tactic
acid to cream facilitated it's whipping
and made it possible to whip cream
which was fresher, which containedless
butter fat and which was warmer than
sadvisable for the best results
s. The use of viscogen facilitated the
whipping Of cream to a greater extent
than any other ingredient with the ex-
ception of Tactic acid. It proved less
eff"otive than low temperature. The
addition Of viscogen caused cream to
