LOOK IN THE MIRROR!

Before you 80 out in the street, or
20 into any public place, chewing gum,
look at yourself in the mirror! Some
months ago l saw girl on the train
who chewed with enough energy to rua
small machine. She was the kind Of
girl who just escaped being pretty,
ana who needed to be very careful
about what she wore and how she wora
it to avoid being commonplace. But
in spite of a toilet that had evidently
cost her some time and thought, she
made herself ridiculous by the con
tortions of her face; and the doting
mother who accompanied her did NOT
realize j. / have seen the girl again
this time in her winter clothes, good
clothes, too, and chewing harder than
ever. l wondered if she had ever seen
herself while masticating, and I ask
you who use gum, to drop whatever
you are doing and stand in front of
a looking-glass for five minutes while
You chew it, think it will have .
good effect upon you. At least, / hope
it will.-Farm Journal

A NEW MINERAL FIND

The Grand Junction Sentinel of
Tuesday in telling of the discovery by
Tom Bailey of Grand Valley of new
mineral substance, prints the following
story:
"A mineral substance, so far un-
identified, has been discovered in large
quantities near Grand Valley by T. E.
Bailey and arrangements are being
made for elaborate tests of the stuff
by eastern chemists to determine its
value.
10 all appearances, it is a mineral
rubber, providing such substance
might exist. 1t is hard, very dense,
without grain or layer, black, igneous
and susceptible of n very high polish.
1t is an excellent non-conductor of elec,
tricity and seems to be good material
for roofing and paving, if properly
treated.
''After five analysts in Chicago had
worked two weeks on it, no identified
tion could be made.
1.-The mine, or undeveloped prospect,
is located 10 miles northwest of Grand
Valley, near the regular Parachute wag-
on road. 1t is found in cliff where a
blanket of the high grade ore abodS
a foot and half thick is shown. In
vestigation proved that this was under
laid by low grade strata 80 feet
thick, with 20 feet of shale lower down.
The high grade is apparent again in a
four foot layer. The deposit extends
for at least two miles back into the
hills and Mr.. Bailey believes that it ex.
lists in unlimited quantities.
''It is oil bearing, shows a sulphur
stain and has indication of iron IN
some places.
cit is likely that manufacturing
plant will be established to make tests
on the ground at the mine mouth

WHY NOT CURE YOUR OWN PoRK2

If anyone had propounded this
theory thirty years ago; that the best
way to secure your pork .for the COM
ing summer would be to sell your hogs
to the nearest buyer, have him turn
them over to the railroad, to be shipped
or Omaha, at profit to himself and
profit to the railroad; there to be
killed and cured by the packer, with
Il packers profit; shipped back to the
wholesaler, say in Des Moines; sold
with a profit to himself to a retailer
in the country town, and re-sold to the
farmer who grew the hogs, he would
have been considered a very silly per-
son or at least an idle dreamer. And
yet that is precisely the way in which
thousands of farmers secure their sum-
mer meat, says Wallaces Farmer.
Some member of the Kansas Agri-
cultural College figured out the loss
sustained by farmers through this mo
thod of handling pork 1t was about
six million year, II we remember
right.
But, you say, we do not need to
send TO Chicago or any of the cities
you mention. We have packing houses
in the several states. True, but the
prices they pay are regulated by the
prices in these larger packing estab'
lishments. Therefore, after all, yon
practically ship your hogs to the great
packing centers. Anyone can see that
this involves terrific loss, and if far.
mers were asked for the reason the
could give two. One is that curing
meat is too much trouble. Another
reason, which they probably would not
give, is that they do not know. Now
the art of curing pork is not a very
mysterious or difficult one. If your
grandmother had it and could feed you-
grandfather on better hams and bacon
and sausage than have been on your
table for twenty years, certainly iyo',
can do it.
Not only can you get it cheaper,
but you can get it better, and that not
merely from the curing, but in the ar
ticle itself

fully up to the usual average
date, but owing to more rain
than was desirable the conditions
at the present writing are not as
good as could be wished. II
should be remembered, however,
that April is commonly a rainy
month, and unless the rains are
also accompanied by such cold
weather as to kill the plants,
the overplus of rain deemed in
furious at the moment has event
ually turned out to be an actual
benefit.
Last year the month of April
closed with a cold snap that
practically killed the growing
cotton over the greater portions
of the belt and forced almost
general replanting. In spite of
that fact there would have been
a large crop but for drought and
other unfavorable conditions
later in the summer. Even then
the crop has turned out to be at
least IL, 600, 600 bales. Since the
bulk of the crop had to be re-
planted last year after May /, it
seems ridiculous to talk about a
late crop this year, when only a
per cent of the planted
cotton has been damaged by the
wet weather and the amount,
not yet planted, has gone beyond
might be considered a rea-
sonable date.
All accounts agree in reporting
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1911-05-06

that a much larger acreage will
be planted this year. Some au-
thorities claim only 5 per cent,
and others as much as 7per cent.
Even the lowest estimate of in
crease for the vast cotton area
as a whole is a notable increase
and holds out vast possibilities
should the growing season prove
propitious. Of course, the raw
ages of the boil Weevil have to
be taken into consideration, but
it is worth recording that the
vast bulk of the acreage has
been in districts not particularly
affected by the weevil pest.
While overproduction is a evil
to be avoided if possible, there
seems no reasonable prospect
that there will be overproduction
this year, no matter how large
the crop may prove to be. The
present season will probably
close with the smallest visible
and invisible stocks of raw cot
ton on record, and, owing to the
curtailment in production by
American and continental mills,
the stocks of manufactured goods
also promise to be u~ncommonly
There will, therefore, be
an extraordinary demand for
both the raw material and the
manufactured product, hence no
matter how large the crop, it is
certain to be all needed, and will,
therefore, bring paying prices.

The Hen AS A Commercialist.

For a long time the consumer
has been victim of the short
weight bunco. The manufac.
turers of breakfast foods have
been charging him for sixteen
ounces and giving him only
twelve ounces in the package
The man who makes his cloth
has reduced the number of
threads from sixty-four to fifty
six, all Of which the consumer
has endured with a patience that
is admirable, but the announce
ment that his old friend, the hen,
has become a commercialist and
is reducing the size of the eggs
she produces for market, causes
tears to unbidden flow.
This is such a serious matter
that Purdue University has is
sued a bulletin which deals with
the problem: "How to Produce
a Good Market Egg" The
farmer is advised not to try
moral suasion on the hen, but to
labor with her in a physical way
because the egg is manufactured
from the food she consumes.
No ration, it is said, should con-
sist wholly of grain, but it
should contain, with the grain,
beef, scraps, boiled hominy, red
pepper, greens and grit or pow
dered oyster shells. We are
assured that if a hen is provided
with these raw materials her out
put will be an egg of decent size.
1t is an interesting fact, how
ever, that the Purdue bulletin
was not a week old, before the
inventors of chicken stories got
busy. From Alton, ILL.,, came
the report that a hen had begun
laying half-pound eggs, and an
other up at Silver Lake, Iowa,
had SO increased the size of her
eggs that they weighed three
quarters of a pound. Perhaps
it was the exposure of the hen as
a grasping commercialist that
turned her away from the evil
policies of the human short
weight swindlers. New Orleans
