degrees on either side of the equator Altitude has a direct influence on suitability of location for cacao cuIti- vation. the plantations lying in a plane from $50 to 2.60O feet high
 The tree was originally wild ever green, growing from Is to 40 feet high and bearing fruit in which the seeds lie buried in a cucumber-shaped pod five to ten inches long and three to four inches thick. The seed, which is the raw cacao of commerce, resembles a thick almond in size and shape. When ripe the pods are cut from the tree by means of a queer forked knife with a curved blade on one side. set on the end of long pole. This odd implement serves to remove the fruit from the tree without injury. The pods are gathered in heaps and left on the ground for day or two before they are judged fit to be cured
 The process of curing is an extreme ly delicate one and to a great extent determines the flavor and quality of the finished product Fermentation and drying are the two main steps and naturally follow shelling and breaking.
 Analyses of the cured bean show that 1t is rich in fats, albuminoids, caffeine, and theobromine, which lat ter drink of the Gods" gives to cacao and chocolate their real character. Chocolate differs from cocoa in that the cocoa butter" a fat that is con tained in the nibs of the beans, is part of the first compound, but is avoided in the latter.

 Cacao is cocoa. It is also
 A chocolate. Botanists and phi
 lologists have been telling the public that the correct way to write cocoa is cacao, but the ruling of the advertising man commands a wider reading than the decisions of scien- lists, so as long as the public is ad- monished to Drink fulanos cocoa" in two-foot type on every billboard, the fashion in the name will favor the lat ter spelling. Outside of English-speak- ing countries the scientific spelling holds.
 Chocolate is different in derivation. It is a corruption of a similar sound Ing Aztec word which, translated lit erally, meant water from the choco." Cortes transcribed this word as cacao, and this completes its etymology. The difference in spelling has led to useful trade distinction. Cacao now signifies the raw and cocoa the fin lshed product. Chocolate Is varia- ton which will be explained later. The cacao bean must not be con- fused with the coca, the plant of Peru which yields a leaf chewed by the Indians for its stimulating properties due to the cocaine content; nor with the cola nut of West Africa, which resembles it in a slight degree chem Ically; nor yet with the co nut, to which it has no relation
 The cacao tree is indigenous to Mex leo, Central America, and part of South America; but has become nat uralized in Ceylon, the Philippines, Kamerun and the gold coast Thus it Is seen to be an essentially tropical cultivation growing in areas of 20

He bases the classification of the horse on it's origin, making three main types, the Celtic, Asiatic and the Arab or African horse. Com parisons of the skeleton of the thor oughbred and trotter with the Arab furnish explanations of the superior carrying power and endurance of the Arab.

DISEASE FOUND AMONG HOGS
Tuberculosis Affects Animals as Well as Man-I-oss Amounts %
 Millions Annually.

Farmers Bulletin 473, issued by
 Jecretary Wilson, contains an impor- tant and most comprehensive state ment of facts on bovine tuberculosis. The bulletin deals with the history, nature, symptoms of the disease; how it spreads, how a herd is infected, the tuberculin test, and it's prevention and suppression.
 "Tuberculosis," the bulletin states, '1s widespread disease affecting ami mals and also man. Human beings and cattle are it's chief victims, but there is no kind of animal that will not take it. Hogs and chickens are quite affected; horses, sheep and goats being affected but seldom, however.
 The disease is contagious. It spreads from COW to COW in a herd until most of them are affected. It is slow in developing and may not be- come noticeable for months or even years. The tuberculin test, which cannot do harm to the healthy COW, reveals the germ in few hours, and always proves successful when in the hands of an experienced veterinar- ian"
 "The disease is common among hogs" the bulletin goes on. The public abattoirs report that serious percentage of hogs inspected is found to be tuberculous. The losses among cattle and hogs are enormous, amount ing to millions of dollars annually"
 Turning to the infection of human beings with the tuberculosis germ through cattle, the bulletin says: Milk is the staple food of infants and young children and is usually ta- ken in the raw state. If this milk is taken from a tuberculous COW it may contain millions of living tubercle germs. Young children fed on such milk often contract the disease, and it Is frequent cause of death among them
 Meat from tuberculous cattle is not SO likely to convey the infection for several reasons. It does not so ire destroys those that may be present, and, lastly, meat is not consumed by very young children"
 As to the spread of the disease, the bulletin says: Sooner or later the tuberculous COW begins to give of the germs of the disease. The germs es- cape by the mouth and nose, the bow els, in the milk, and in discharges from the genital organs. When the germs are being given of in any of these ways, the disease is known as open tuberculosis.
 The bulletin concludes with: Dark, dirty, crowded stables are favorable to tuberculosis. Under these condi- tions the disease spreads rapidly and is only kept out with difficulty.
 Clean, airy, well-lighted stables, on the other hand, are 1nfavorable to the development of the disease. If brought into such a stable it does not spread SO rapidly and is not difficult to get rid of as in the first case.
 "A well-built, sanitary stable need not be made of expensive material or of elaborate design, but should have plenty of light. air, and drainage.
 Light is very important. Direct sunlight is a great destroyer of germ life Tubercle baciln soon die If ,ex- posed to sunlight. It Is disinfectant. always ready to work without cost"

An Invitation.

In order that no man. woman
or child living in or near Deming
shall go either cold or hungry
during the winter months
now coming upon US, the Baptist
church has originated a Board
of Charity" and to the best Of
our ability will endeavor to 60 to
the relief of our worthy poor. re-
CARELESS of church affiliation or
nationality, furnishing them
clothing, fuel, bedding, ETC., as
the case may demand.
As the Master once said to the
disciples, The poor ye have with
you always. we feel they should
be expected and due provision
made for them. They are our
brothers and sisters in the flesh
and deserve a listening ear when
the cry of distress is heard.
In every town there should be
board of united charities, 1"
being composed of two members
from each church represented in
the town and at least one men,
Der from the city council and one
from the board of county COM
missioners, all cooperating, and
the board, after organization,
having its own president, secre.
tary and treasurer. This board
should have stated meetings
through the winter and the town
should be kept posted through
the town papers as to the condi-
ton of the treasury. The treas.
urer should receive all contribu.
tons from every source, for ev-
cry charitable purpose, including
pledges for cash, coal, groceries,
bedding, drugs, clothing, etc.,
and the board should have a
standing committee on investiga-
ton and to this committee should
every call from every source be
referred. This committee will
make investigation and, if found
worthy, draw on the treasurer for
any amount they deem advisable.
In this way the charitably in
clined are never imposed upon,
frauds are discovered and all
worthy poor get assistance. Our
money is spent in a business way
and the unfortunate are system
atically assisted.
Since no such board exists in
Deming (if we are correctly in
formed, it seems to this writer
that our city officials should call
a mass meeting, to be held at
some central location, on Sunday
afternoon at an early date, for
the purpose of organizing a board
of united charities. Should this
not be done the Baptist Board of
Charity most cordially invites
every citizen in Deming and Vi
cinity who desires to assist in
this delightful work, to drop a
line in the postoffice, addressed
to the undersigned, naming the
amount in cash, groceries. coal,
clothing, bedding, etc., (includ-
ing clean, serviceable second
hand articles) and it will be duly
listed and called for as needed
and a strict account kept of all
donations and a public statement
made of the same through the
city papers once each month.
Onr committee will use great
care to see that no one is imposed
upon and that all worthy receive
help as the case demands. Hop
ing this invitation may receive
the attention and response of the
people of Deming and community,
we are, Yours to serve,
o. 7. FINCH,
