For Good Cottage Cheese.

In making cottage cheese skim milk
is allowed to sour, and the curd is
then broken up and held at g tempera-
ture of about 100 degrees for three to
four hours, or until it has become suf-
ficiently firm. The whey is then
drained off and the curd placed under
slight pressure for time. The curd
is either consumed Immediately or is
packed in tubs and placed in cold
storage. 1t is prepared for eating by
moistening with either milk or cream.
Sometimes it is made up into schapes
and wrapped in tin foil No ripening
is ever allowed.

The Castinr out Of Pinchot.


President Taft will find it difficult
to convince the American public that
dismissal of Clifford Pinchot was for
the public good and not for the benefit
of lumber pirates, mining magnates
and land thieves, from whom the pub
lie believes Mr. Pinchot has earnestly
striven to protect the public domain
Since Mr. Pinchot took up the work
of the national forestry commission, in
1896 and established forestry in the
Adirondack mountains, he has been
devoted to the preservation of natural
resources.
For twelve years he has been head
of the forestry service. fighting the
money interests, preventing them from
stealing public property and mourning
their deadly enmity. The interests
have used every effort to secure Mr.
Pinchot's dismissal, bringing strong
political influence to bear, bribing
newspapers. sending printed articles
decrying him broadcast to every pub
LEGATION they thought might notice
their screeds.
The public naturally regards the dis
missal of Mr.. Pinchot as another in
stance of President Taft's surrender to
the interests.
1t is significant that Congress voted
to take from the Speaker the power of
appointing the committee to investi-
gate the Pinchot-B allinger trouble. A

Mr.. knOx's Break with Mexico

In deliberately seeking an alliance
with Brazil to break down the infiu-
ence of Mexico in the affairs of Latin
America, Secretary Knox is entering
upon a scheme of international politics
which is so full of the possibilities Of
danger to the peace and safety of the
nation that ID should never be under
taken without the consent Of the peo-
ole given in a national election
The Mexican government is much
more closely In touch with the senti-
menr OF Latin America than the State
Department at Washington can be.
Though the attitude assumed by Mex
leo in the Central American situation
is displsasing to Secretary Knox, IL
is seemingly well fortified in the re-
sentiment which Latin America feels
at American dictation and interference
IN the affairs of its little republics.
If the American navy and the Amer
lean marine corps are used to drive
a president out of Nicaragua there Is
no one of the South American repub-
lies which can feel safe from similar
interference whenever its government
proves displeasing to the powers that
be in Washington The only result that
can follow Mr. Knox's policy Is that

Cau~e of weak Eyes.

Farm.
Cause OF Weak Eyes
Dark stables are often the cause OF
weak eyes with horses. especially in
winter. when the sun shines brightly
on the snow Their drivers are fire.
Quently SNOW blind" when they
live in we'll lighted houses. Provide
plenty of windows for the horse st.-
bles and there will be less trouble
with weak eyes. Some horses are af-
fiicted with a periodic. partial blind
ness. which IS regarded nearly, or
quite, incurable. Battle the eyes of
your horse with a lotion composed of
ten grains of boracic acid and dis
solved in one ounce of camphor water.
This may be applied with dropper
or soft linen rag. Shade the eyes
during bright days with a green veil.
Habits of Walking.
An important thing to know Is that
you have a horse that is a good walk
er, writes an expert, a horse that will
pick up his legs fair and square and
set them down fair and square, NOV
ing every joint. not one that will move
his limbs with no knee or hook action
If these defects are in the sire they
are very likely to be in the foal Many
OF you have noticed horses which when
they are walking away from you will
throw their feet out sidewise, and 9TH
ers when they are being led toward
you will step over. This is something
we do not want. I prefer a horse
that will pick his feet up straight
and set them down straight would
select horse every time that stepped
over if had to have one or the other,
because he will climb a hill better
with heavy load than horse that
keeps his legs too far away from him.
Sowing Seed for Cabbage Plants.
The preparation of land for cabbage
growing does not materially differ
from that of other garden crops. 1t
should, of course, be put in good filth.
and an abundant supply of well rotted
stable manure Is desirable.
Cabbage seed must be sown six or
seven weeks before 1t Is desired to set
the plants in the field The time for
| planting varies somewhat with the
season. Seed for early cabbage is
sown in Colorado about the 1st of
March, in flats. in a forcing house or
in hotbeds, according to the expert
ment station of the state If sown
in hotbeds, the seedlings are not usu-
ally transplanted until they are set
in the field. The growing of plants in
the greenhouse or in hotbeds is trade
in itself, the details of which must
be carefully looked after Seed for
late varieties is usually sown in the
open ground. Several sowings should
be made, the first being planted about
| the 10th of April

Even the stoutest apologists for
President Taft as a pacificator sacri-

of party solidarity now announce
that he will throw his full power
against the insurgents and in favor of
the reactionaries.
Even since Mr.. Taft's Winona
speech, in which he took occasion to
praise the craftsmanship of Senator
Aldrich, the West has foreseen the
final lineup of the president with the
Aldrich forces. Therefore open an
nouneement of his position is not
surprise.
The people of the West know now
where they stand. They know that
the election of congressman who will
do the bidding of Aldrich means ship
subsidies and a central bank for the
benefit Of eastern money kings, and
the highest possible tariff to pile up
riches for eastern tariff barons.
The West is weary of government
of, by, and for the mill bosses and
financial magnates of New England
and New York. President Taft's al
lance with the standpatters leaves but
one road open to freedom for the West.
Congressman who will work for the
West must be sent to Washington
and Aldrichism must be taught by de-
feat in councils of state that the Unit
ed States does not exist to serve the
convenience of few selected inter
ests in one corner of the country.

Clark spoke most en- thusiastically and favorably of the work being done in the Imperial Val ley. About two hundred thousand acres of ground have already been put under cultivation and as there is as much land south of the border line waiting to be cultivated, MT. Clarke feels confident that this country will be one of the greatest agricultural centers in the West. It has been prov ed that an acre of this land will pro- duce a bale of cotton and in some instances, bale and a half to the acre has been produced.

DEMAND FOR COTTON
Not Single Man in the Civilized World Who Does Not Want
 Cotton Goods.

The world Is making greater and greater demands for cotton. A. J.. Balfour, in a speech delivered in Man chester in 1895, said
 There is not single maa in the civilized world who does not want cot ton goods. | do not care who he is, where he is, how he lives or what he does. Every man wants cotton goods in some shape or form If that is so, to increase the supply of the raw ma terial out of which this universal ne cessity arises must be a work not merely of local benefit, of national benefit, but of universal benefit"
 Thomas L. Field, of London, speak ing before the Southern Commercial Congress at Washington, on December 6. quoted this statement and said
 Tt is an astounding fact that in spite of the millions which have been spent and the millions which we know are being spent by other nations in their endeavor to discover soils, eli mates and conditions necessary for it's growth, that today three -fourths of the cotton grown in the whole world is produced in one section of this country with which we are dealing. Surely no nation can afford to leave the cherishing and nourishing of such a od-given heritage to any one sec tion.
 When your customer-the wide, wide world-required of you two mil lion bales of cotton in one season, you furnished them; when it required four millions of bales, you furnished them; when it required eight millions, even twelve millions of bales, you fur nished them. The time will come when it will require twenty millions of bales even thirty millions, and through the work that is being done by the Southern Commercial Congress, when that times comes, you will be prepar- ed to furnish them"
