The president, Mr.. Howard Elliott,

A Bill the Paper Must Pay.

Every line in a newspaper
costs the proprietor something.
If it is for the benefit of the in
dividual it should be paid for. If
the grocer were asked to contri-
butte groceries to one abundantly
able to pay for them he would
refuse. The proprietors of a
newspaper must pay for the free
advertising if the beneficiary
does not, and yet it is one of the
hardest things to be learned by
many, that a newspaper has space
in its column to- rent and must
rent to live. To give away rent
for anything less than living
rates is as fatal to a newspaper
as for a landlord to furnish rent
free. -Ex.

To Preserve Cider.

Take one and one-half pounds
ground mustard to one barrel
Put this in loose, then add two
quarts sweet milk, and eight
fresh eggs (break and stir eggs
well.) Put all in one barrel of
sweet cider, stirring we'll to mix
well. Then let it stand twenty
four to thirty-six hours to settle.
Then rack it off and put in clean
barrel, or bottle for use. See
that the back end of barrel is
about two inches lower than
front end, so that the eggs and
settings will not be drawn off.
Cider will improve for six
months. This will keep cider
sweet for two years.

Alfalfa Meal for Hens.

Hens fed on alfalfa meal lay
very fertile eggs, which produce
strong, vigorous and hearty
chicks. They will mott quicker
in the fall and commence to lay
earlier in the season. For laying
hens put several quarts of alfal-
ia meal into a closed vessel, then
pour boiling water over the meal
until it is thoroughly moistened;
cover the vessel and let the mix
ture steep for awhile. Just be-
fore feeding dash a little cold
water over the feed. This brings
out the gseen color, and makes
it as much like green grass as
any winter feed can be. Some
prefer to mix the meal with
table scraps or geain, both of
which add palatability and varie-
ty to the mash. Bone-meal and
meat scraps are also good.

Faith in American Saddle Horses

While it is a fact that the auto
mobile has greatly interferred
with almost every other class of
horses, human genius will never
be able to invent machine that
will take the place of the gated
saddle horse, says Texas Stock
man.
1t can be safely said that the
American saddle horse is the
handsomest horse that can ever
be produced. The trotting and
the thoroughbreds have been
bred with the main purpose of
producing speed, the draft horse
for hauling heavy loads, while
the saddle horse has been bred
with an eye to symmetry, beauty
and graceful action. At all the
leading fairs in Missouri and
Kentucky where the saddle
horse is so much appreciated, the
principal attraction has been the
sweepstake saddle rings. The
Potts Bros. have come to Texas
to join hands with all lovers of
this noble animal, and to help
make southwest Texas famous
for the production of the hand
soonest horses in the world.
