Talks C0r6 OF
Your Cdttl6

An opinion relating to cat.
tie grazing, recently given by
attorney general Frank W.
Clancy, of Santa Fe, to Cover
nor Mills, and published in
the Santa Fe New Mexican, is
a new featule and final. The
fence law does not allow any
one to turn their cattle loose.
He says that OPINION, in sub
stance, holds that notwith-
standing such Il fence law as
we have in New Mexico, the
owner Of land would he en-
tiGIed to protection against
WiIfuI treSpasserS. and that
such statutes do not give per
mission to the owner OF cattle
to use his neighbor'S land as a
pasture, uor do they afford i'm
mdnity TO those who turn
loose their cattle under cir
.cum>tances as showing that
they were intended to Craze
upon the land of another.

Tbs NEWSPAPER Man
(By Hsctor Fuller. }

(Dy HSctOr ruler
Our eyes are thick for slumber and oul
brains are tired and stale;
Nerves we have none to speak of, yet
we never dare to fail.
There are always cries for copy" anc
they never cry in vain,
For the Press need is cruel and reeks
not of our pain.
Through the endless summer evening
when We should be with our wives,
We are eudlessly recording all the tales
Of other lives.
We recount The deeds of heroes; there
are new ones every day;
Or are reveling in scandal for--aboul q
teamsLer's pay,
We greet the new-fedged statesman;
self-important, green, elate;
We warn the politicians what to do to
save the state;
We clinIl glasses with good follows; yet
we've got to keep our head,
For the scandals Of the living and the
virtues of the dead.
There are some that seem to envy the
positions that we hold,
To think that our typeWriters are like
pens of beaten gold;
For we still keep happy faces though
our homes we aeldom see,
And the smiles of wife and children are
denied to such as we.
But [ guess We'll keep on going; take
assignments; do the work;
We may loaf, or drink or gamble, but
our tasks we may not shjrk;
For it's in our blood - the fever and
we die off one by one
But the Press goes on forever, for its
work is never done.

Cooking Schools

What this country needs even
more than libraries, missions, hu-
name societies, peace leagues or
picture galleries are practical
common sense cooking schools
where the wives of the present
generation as well as the next
can be taught to make the best
possible use of food, says Isabel
Gordon Curtis in an article in
Success Magazine. Such instruc-
ton can not be too simple be-
cause 1t must appeal to a class
that knows as much about chem
i8try asst does about Hebrew and
Greek. The 'high-falutin" teach
ing in some schools does moth
ing but scare off Il plain country
woman or a girl with q limited
education.
The very term Domestic Sci
ence" is formidable instead Of al
Turing.
What we need today is to study
our audience, then dispense with
q lot of academic notions and get
down to rational common sense in
teaching the common tasks of life
First Of all make every girl and
woman understand the dignity of
household labor, and the neces-
sity Of wholesome, Well-cooked
food, then teach her to do every
detail OF the work as perfectly as
it can be done. / believe that
some day-and that day may not
be so very far distant-every
town and village will consider a
cooking school as much of a ne
cessity as a church. 1t will be
free to all classes, endowed or
managed by the state, and the
course OF study instead ST being
elective will be compulsory

GOOD CROPS

The News family drove out
southwest 'a5t Sunday taking in
the Means neighuorhood near Mt.
Calvary, thon Oh to Manza@o,
where zach uu,j,r he old apple
trees ~as enjoyed, returning
home northward and eastward
from the old apple town. The
crops throughout that district are
simply marvellous, no other word
will suffice. We saw several large
stacks Of wheat, ready for the
thresher. While most Of the
wheat straw was very short, the
heads are g good length, and the
yield is estimated at from ten
to fifteen bushels per acre, Most
of the rye is in the shock. The
yield Of rye will be heavy, the
heads in almost all the fields be
ing Sc heavy that they hung over.
Corn is from three to five feet
high, of a beautiful rich dark
green colop, beginning to tassel.
In some fields roasting ears are
not far off. Beans thousands Of
acres Of them are looking the
best ever. The stand is excellent
the height good, and the promise
of a large3 crop the best ever
Apparently the only thing that
can prevent a splendid harvest
would be q heavy hail storm
throughout the valley, something
which has never been heard Of.
Cane and n1illet are doing their
share to make the valley famous,
while the oats is q wonder. In
many fields the first crop has
been cut ana the second is about
knee high, q pretty dark green.
Some Of the best individual
crops we saw were those of
Messrs. Dohoghe, Mullen and
Byrd, just south of Manzano The

high to g man, the beans are in

Manzano, the crops are better

year the stuff had trouble in even
coming up, this year the crops
are money makers. This is GER

BURNT CORK.
The Paste Used by Minstrel Perform.
ers When "BIacking Up."

The popular impression as to the ap-
plication of burnt cork by minstrel
performers and actors in general is
that it is rubbed on the face and hands
OF the player from Il cork whose end Is
eharred in convenient gas jet. This
impression is, however. incorrect. The
burnt cork used by MINISTRIES and
others is the product of the theatrical
"paint factories" just as Is any other
cosmetic or pigment employed by the
profession.
One house makes it in the following
manner. The corks are placed in three
tin vessels. resembling wash boilers.
with holes punched in their sides and
bottom. Alcohol is sprinkled over the
corks. and they they are fired" When
the corks have been properly charred
they are placed in muslin sacks, which
are kneaded in barrels Of water. This
operation forces the powdered charcoal
through the sacks into the water.
When all the charred corks have
been worked through the sacks into
the water in this way the water is
drained through a close canvas sack.
and what remains in that sack is
ready for the performers. The stuff
Is put up in cans, from which. when
the minstrel is ready to "black up" he
takes a little of the black paste in his
hands and applies It to his face, neck
and sometimes his hands.-NeW York

EIGHT CENTS A DAY.
Workers Pay In England When Board
Was Shilling a Week.

There was time when workman
an England received 8 cents day as
an ordinary wage when skilled ar
tisans commanded 10 cents n day and
when women worked in the field at
such tasks as reaping straw. hoeing.
planting beans and washing sheep
for ? cents a dsy. and wise student
of the subject has expressed the opin.
ion that the British workman Of that
day was better off than he has ever
been since then.
That sounds paradoXical. But the
eyriaHa ton is this: The workman
who sold his services for cents a
day could buy good beef or mutton for
~. cents pound Wheat cost him on
the average only IS cents bushel
He could get board for II to 16 cents
a week. The pay he would receive for
fifteen weeks services would suffice
to purchase Il supply of suitable food
stnfls. according to the standard of his
time consisting cf w,,eat. malt and
oatfR eaH. to maintain his family for
an entire year.
CGucr these circumstances 8 cents Il
day increased to 70 cents in harvest
time.-was Il fair wage. and times
were GOOD. for the average workman

A CUP OF TEA.
II Plays a Curious Part In Chinese
Business Etiquette

When salesman or person seeking
a business interview presents his card
at the entrance to a Chinese mer-
chants place of business the. posi-
bility of an audience depends alto
gether upon how he deports himself
while awaiting the return of the card
bearer. Should he be so indiscreet as
to put one foot over the twelve inch
railing that intervenes between the
step and the doorway no manner Of
persuasion can prevail upon the mer-
chant to grant him an interview.
In case he waits patiently in the
space allotted to unknown callers this
fact is noted, and he is usually ush-

case the caller is supposed to take up

However, should it so happen that the
Chinaman is not pleased with his call

the merchant takes up the tea and be-

LEGHORNS HAVE EASY LEAD

There Are One Hundred Pens of Five
Hens Each in International Lay
ing Contest Now in Progress.
The first five weeks of the inter
national laying contest of the Phila-
delphia North American has furnish
ed some interesting data as shown
by the reports of the contests carried
on by the North American at the end
of each week
There are 100 pens of five birds
each in the contest, some of them
from 40 far away as England so
great has been the desire of those
breeding great layers to make a rec
ord under such authoritative aus
pieces.
The Leghorns have the best repre-
sentation in the list with SO pens, 81
being of the single comb white vari-
ETY., of the single comb brown and
3 of the single comb buff The Plym-
outh Rocks are next in numbers with
10 pens, 10 of the barred, 4 white,
1 partridge rocks and 1 Columbian
Plymouth Rock The Wyandottes
are next with - divided among the
different varieties, and the Orping-
tons third with 10, 6 white and 4
buff
The LegihOrns are not only demon
strating that they will lay, but
have shown that they are winter
layers as we'll, the contrary of which
has been charged against them by
the adherents of other breeds who
seek to discount their value by MAX
ing the point that they are not win
ter layers while admitting their SUI
periority as all round layers.
AS an example of their winter lay
ing qualities the thirty-six pens of
Leghorus have laid az many eggs
during the five weeks as the sixty
four pens of other breeds, or about
twice as many prorata. The thirty
six pens of Leghorns have in the
five weeks laid 723 eggg, while the
sixty-four pens of the other breeds
have laid SIS eggs.
