Animal vs. Vegetable.

There is not single kind of animal
food which we might not replace with
vegetable counterpart In most cases
il IS merely matter of choice which is
preferable, the animal or the vegetable.
In the matter of cooking fats, however,
the vegetable has far the advantage
Lard is made from the fat of hogs
often impure and unclean, always indi-
geStible. Cottolene comes from the cot
Ton fields of the Sunny South. It makes
food that can be digested with ease,
even by invalids. Cottolene is recon-
pended by both physicians and noted
cooking experts as much more health
ii and desirable cooking TAT than lard.

1t is inadvisable to use finely ground
phosphate rock or flour on land which is
not especially rich in vegetable matter.
No doubt -four or rock phosphate has
given good results on much of the all
IuviaI land Of the state of Illinois. This
land. as you know. is black in color, very
deep and naturally remarkably fertile.
AS a rule the lands in the south are not
sufficiently supplied with humus to make
the use of rock phosphate profitable. In
the majority OF tests that have been
made up to this time we are disposed
to think that acid phosphate has proven
one of the cheapest and most efficient
carriers OF phosphoric acid for our south
ern farmers. on land where stock farm
ing is pursued for years. a good rota-
ton inaugurated. and green crops fire.
quentIy plowed under we might use rock

material is not likely to leach. readily

/. Loo pounds of this material should be

A SAGE on Superfluities.

In her book "The Human Way
Mrs. Louise Collier Wilcox suggests
very subtly the difficulty of draw,
ing the line at sutficiency.
A lady who was also a philan-
thropist crossed the Russian frontier
to visit Tolstoy, and, ushered into
his presence, she uttered the usual
conventional greetings and excla-
nations, while the sage eyed her
abstractedly and silently.
"As if" she said-"as if he were
quietly turning back the top of my
head and looking at the thoughts
inside"
When she ceased speaking he
touched her large and at the same
time fashionable sleeve and said
sweetly:
"'Why do you wrap so much cloth
on your arms: If you ripped it off
it would make a nice frock for a lit
tie girl"

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
The Curse That Was Called Down
Upon Mount Chicarrowa.

upon mount ChIcarroWa.
A weird legend is attached to
Mount Chicarrowa, which is one of
the chain of White mountains and
lies twenty miles southeast of
Mount Washington as the crow
flies.
Many years ago Chief Chicar-
rowa, the last of his tribe, inhabit-
ed a rude hut Of birch bark on the
southern slope of the mountain and
supported himself by hunting and
fishing. In their season he gath
cred berries and wild grapes, which
he exchanged among the farmers in
the valley for salt, meal, molasses
and other Injuries dear to the In
dian heart, including an occasional
jug Of firewater. A white man went
up the mountain one day to drive
down his cows from the rich pas
lures on the slopes and ~nlateaus,
and he never came back. His body
was found in a clump of blackberry
bushes near old Chicarrowa's cabin
with his skull crushed in. The In
dian was seized and, despite his
pro~testations of innocence, was con-
demned to a speedy death. He was
given the choice of a bullet from
the gun of the dead mans brother
or a more d~igniied exit from life by
means of a voluntary leap over the
steep cliff.
Chicarrowa asked and received
permission to commune for the last
time with the Great Spirit. Stand
ing On the edge of the precipice
over which he was so 500 to make
his death leap, he extended his arms
with a sweeping gesture that en-
braced the whole mountain, while
he called down his curse upon it
and every living thing thereon from
base to summit. As he finished the
solemn invocation he leaped over
the verge and was dashed to death
on the rocks far below.
A few weeks later the real muir
derer was discovered and made 10
pay the penalty of his crime, aud
the regretful farmers gathered up
the chiefs remains and erected over
them the customary monument Of
his tribe, a rough pile of logs laid
c~risscross to form a square. The
grave can still be seen on the
mountain side, though many of the
logs have fallen in. Since the In
dams tragic death it is said that no
cattle will live on the mountain. but
pine away and die, though the
grass grows rich and green almost
to the top. When harvested and
used for winter fodder no living
thing will thrive on it. Nuts on the
mountain are empty when they fail,
blackberries shrivel on the bushes
while they are still green, and the
wild grapes wither and drop long
before they are ripe. The gray rock
where Chicarrowa fell is spIashed
and spattered with red, and the
country people point to it and say
it is the Indians blood.-Exchange.

Republicans Must Unite

New York, Aug. 30.-President
Taft's letter to w. B. Mckinley,
chairman of the republican congress
sional committee. has been made
public by the New York headquart-
ers Of the committee. The presid-
ent in the communication, says that
differences between republicans
should be forgotten in the congress
sional election and that "all republic
ans who believe in the party prin-
clples as declared in its national plat
form of 1908, should give the candi-
dates loyal and effective support.
If this is done there will be no doubt
of a return of a republican major
Iity."
AS to the tariff, the president
saws: 1T seems to me tina, all re-
nuhlicans -conservative progress
size and radical-may we'll abide the
situation with respect to the tariff
until evidence now being accumuIat-
ed shall Justify changes in the
rates"
Mr. Taft's plan for revision by
congress of Individual schedules,
after Investigation bv the tariff
commission, is discussed in this con-
nection.
The president reviews the more
important legislation enacted by
congress, in fulhllment of its
promises, and says, ut is of the ut
most importance to make this a
campaign of education as to facts
and clear away the clouds of misrep-
resentat ion that have obscured the
