PRAISE FOR
THE EURRO.


At last an American state pays
it's official respects to the burro.
says the Boston Herald. The only
one OF mans four-footed compan-
ions who has not had his due por-
tion of praise is to be classed in
Arizona along with the church and
the school as an institution whose
contri oution to the general well
fare of right places him on the free
list. 1t is well. So small that be
can be slowed away in good-sized
game bag, 80 strong that he car
ries the fattest woman to the top
of Pixies Peak, 80 safe that he
treads IN srringly the path that
makes an Indian shiver, and so
homely that he needs these vir-
tues TO balance the account, the
burro is after all the builder OF
EN- pires and the pioneer of civil-
cation. Arizona DEGREES that the
Rocky Mountain Canary" shall

prospector. Poets have sun the
dog. The horse stands in bronze
in the squares of the cities and
madly gallops across the pages OF
the novels. The cat and the crow
have had their altars. Now comes
this partial and belated recogni'
ton burro.
Let the friend and scspegoat OF
the miner and the explorer be
praised. Frugal and complacent,
he is the indesputable comrade of
the adventurers who disclose the
worlds treasure. The spoil OF
Peru was loaded on his back for
transit across the isthmus of Oar

almost to the site OF Kansas City
trudged on Coronado's astonishing
journey of exploration. All the
mining camps of the three Amer
icas have been opened by pros
pectors whose burros carried their
grub and outfits. Unlovely but not
altogether uDloveable, doing their
best to live down their reputs-
ton for stupidity and stubborness,
these beasts OF burden have car
ried food, clothing and lumber to
! isolated camps, ore to smelsers,

fes Indeed, the Very Hest Kinds,
When he Cabbage Ferments.

les lnueed, Inc very Hest Kinds,
When fhe Cabbage Ferments.
That German delicacy, sauerkraut, is
made In large quantities In this country,
and tons and tons of cabbages are
shredded up to supply the demand. The
Germans stoutly declare that all OF their
kraut Is strictly hand made and that the
imported kind is vastly superior to the
American machine made article. They
say that there u no way to obtain the
long, slender delicate tendrils OF cabbage
of which the finest quality OF sauer-
kraut should be made other than by hav-
ing 1t sliced up with sharp knife in
the hands Of a skilled workman. Never
theless, the greater part OF the sauer-
kraut eaten over here Is the product OF
an American labor saving method.
The cabbage from which the sauer-
kraut is made In this neighborhood
come largely from the northern part OF
the State, although the greatest cabbage
growing section OF this country is out In
central Ohio. From 81 TO $3.50 a ton is
paid to the farmers who specialize In
cabbage raising and very often the sup
ply is not large enough to meet the de-
mand, thus making II necessary for
sauerkraut makers sometimes almost to
suspend operations until the cabbage crop
looks up.
Sauerkraut does, not look like a par
ticularly highly volatile substance when
II appears on a platter alongside of a
pink pigs knuckle or as the foundation
or groundwork upon which is placed the
plump, brown frankfurter sausage. But
It does frequently explode, sometimes
with sufficient violence to wreck Its con-
tainer This happens when fermentation
sets In. And II carload of sauerkTaut
goes up, barrel after barrel, the wreck
age Is great and the loss complete, while
the walls. roof. and floor OF the car are
likely to be covered with the picked cab
bage inches thick.
