Northern people who nave come here to
reside have often remarked that the cab
bage raised here is much finer and more
delicate. and has q much better flavor
than the cabbage raised in the North.
And that is why there is a treat in
store for the lucky participants OF the
25-pOund cabbage head which has come
to the Herald sanctum from Rio HOndO.
But, perhaps, the reader does not know
how such a cabbage should be cooked.
There's something in the way the cab
bage is cooked, it must be admitted. You
will observe we used the expression
properly cooked" Some people cook it
wrong, and when they place it on the
table all discolored, pinkish in hue, tough
and unsavory and altogether indiges-
tible, they naturally spoil peoples taste
for cabbage-and, incidentally, they hurt
the cabbage market. For the benefit Of
such people and, incidentally, Of the
cabbage market. we viii tell YOU the
way that cabbage should be cooked:
Have a kettle of boiling salted water
tlptD cHOU3u W CONCA lht iAAi NdDpdS''
Wash the cabbage thoroughly, cut off
The dark green outer leaves-Nalley cab
bages have only a very few tough outer
leaves, it is nearly all heart-cut it in
quarters, and plunge it into the boiling
water. Keep if boiling for at least thirty
minutes. and your cabbage is then cooked
and ready to serve. Cooking it with q
generous slice Of ham will improve the
flavor, and the ham is the best accom-
panimcnt in the world to serve with
cabbage. It may also be served with
cream sauce or egg sauce. If you wish
TO boil a whole ham, or q large piece. it
is well to boil it first, and when it is
thoroughly cooked take the ham out and
boil the cabbage in the same water. I'm
less YOU have tried this, You can not
know just how good Lower Rio Grande
cabbage can be.

A FINE CABBAGE
GIFT FROM RIO HONDO TRUCK
GROWER - SPLENDID HEAD
WEIGHS % POUNDS,

The express dclivcryman came Strug-
Cling up the stairs to the Herald offices
yesterday morning, carrying a burden
Of very unusual size and kind. Out Of
breath, he pumped down on the floor Of
the editorial sanctum a crate containing
a cabbage, which, when weighed without
the crate, tipped the scale at just p
pounds.
This fine truck specimen is the gift of
W. II. Van Syckel, one of the enterpris-
ing farmers of Rio HOndO. The cabbage
is firm and white all through its great
big heart, and, no doubt will make fine
eating.
Very probably the full meaning Of this
may not impress everybody. 1t has not
been the good fortune Of everybody to
live in the Lower Rio Grande Valley and
feast upon the cabbage produced in this
wonderland Of agriculture. 1T is even
said that many people living elsewhere
do not appreciate cabbage as an article
Of diet. That, again, is their misfortune
they have never eaten Lower Rio
Grande Valley cabbage. But those who
have partaken OF this justly popular
truck produce of the Valley will IN
doubtcdly agree with the Herald, when
it SAYS that a treat is in store for the
recipients Of Mr.. Van Syckel's monster
cabbage.
The fact is. the cabbage produced here
il 50 far superior to that raised else
where. that il Is not to bc mentioned in
the same category with the latter pro
duet. II is really far more delicate, more
richly Favored than the cabbage grown
almost anywhere else. Properly cooked,
Valley cabbage is a real dclicacy. Every
m|outhful of this big cabbage Will be
tender and sweet. Such a cabbage raised
in ONE sections would be only a kind of
vegetable mOnstrOSity, good to look at.
perhaps, but not so good for the table.
But here-well, here it is different.

FRISCO BEAUTY SPOT
DEPOT PARK BEING ADORNED
WITH PRETTY FLOWER BEDS,
PALM TREES AND OTHER PLANT

The management of the Frisco lines
have begun a campaign of beautifying
their station properties all along their
lines.
Last week work was commenced at
the passenger station in this city, and
several old trees, which had Outlived
their beauty, were cut down in order to
made more room for flower beds.
Four of these new beds have now been
made, the most prominent Of which is
one placed in the center of the garden.
1t is made in the shape of the familiar
shield and in the center the letters
FRISCO" have been marked out. The
bed will be planted with thrift of two
colors. The letters will be green while
the border surrounding the letters will
be planted with bronze thrift. 1t will
take 400 thrift plants. To the left of
the center, there is a round bed in the
center of which a large century plant
has been placed. Smaller plants of the
same species will be placed on the Dor
der. Nasturtiums, verbenas, both white
and purple, morning glory, cockscomb,
and moon flowers will be placed in the
other beds.
One of the most prominent flowers
which will also be planted in one of the
beds is an American Beauty rose bush.
Besides the flowers several palms have
been planted in the foreground.
AS soon as the garden has started to
grow, the citizens of Brownsville will
have one of the most attractive depot
gardens of the kind in the state of Texas,

TRUCK SITUATION
INVESTIGATION SHOWS CONSID-
ERABLE DAMAGE TO BEANS,
LITTLE DAMAME TO TOMATOES.

W. J. Thrower, director Of the South
Texas Gardens, accompanied by ". II.
Mason, jr, yesterday afternoon made q
visit to farms out on the military road
to look over the vegetable situation since
the frost Of Monday morning. They
found that tomatoes and potatoes had
been damaged very little. Beans were
considerably damaged, but most of this
crop is coming along all right, and some
places will show a full yield. Both Mr..
Mason and Mr.. ThrOwer believe hat the
damage resulting from the frost will
amount to very little in this immediate
section.

CONSOLIDATION

(By q. s. NcWs Serrice.)

~
DALLAS, Texas, March 20.-Will G.
HOgg of Houston was in this city yes
tcrday and when asked for his views on
state educational affairs expressed him
self in favor of the consolidation of the
A. & NJ. college with the state university.
In discussing the subject Mr.. HogG
said: with one or two notable excep-
tons all efficient agricultural instruction
and education maintained ut the expense
If the commemorative of the United
States are conducted by branches Of de-
partments Of the respective state uni
ycr>ities.' Continuing Mr.. Hogg said:
II think that such agricultural and me
Chanical department of the University
should be the directing head of four or
five subsidiary or branch a. & NJ. col
lcgcS located in as many sections of the
state and a practical training adapted
to the agricultural %sOurc Of the par
t%icuIar section should then be taught
and thai graduate students of the main
branch at Austin should be placed in
charge Of demonstration farms in every
agricultural county in the state. Such
farms should be supported proportion
ately by state subsidy and local tax"
Governor Colquitt, in a special mes
sage to the legislature, has favored the
consolidation.

CADILLAC IS A
HIGH GRADE auto

The STORY of the Cadillac" is one
of that mechanical and commercial
advancement which makes for per-
manency. The Cadillac company has
never yielded to clamor by producing
that which catered merely to fancy
nor that which took advantage of the
uniformed on the contrary it has
produced only that which it knew to
be right, that which it knew would
give to the purchaser value received
in abundant measure.
The Cadillac company has never
been obliged to restort to exaggera-
ton and over-drawn claims to dispose
OF all the cars that it could make
and more. Its policy has ever been
to under-claim rather than to over
claim. 1t Is gratified that the pub
lie accepts its representations at
their full worth; because the pubic
has never been misled and because
the public could always expect and
has always received more than was
offered.

The Electric Furnace for the Amalga-
nation and Heat Treatment OF Fine
SteeIs Gives Results Not Possible by
Any other Process

Electric furnace steels and highly
developed methods of heat treatment
make it possible to secure great
strength from, comparatively, light
weight
In automobile construction. light
weight means greater ability, easier
driving and lower cost of operation.
Weight and bulk not only decrease
the general efficiency of an automo-
bile. AS an intermediate example,
danger from breakdowns-i e., in
creases the breaking or deterriorating
agencq, exactly as the square OF
weight increases.
Therefore, to carry the weight of
an automobile beyond a given point,
makes it weaker. instead of stronger.
This would not be true OF house
or other structure designed to stand
at rest; but it is true of an automo-
bile. AS an Intermediate example, a
heavy Pullman coach Is supposed TO
be very strong, and quite easy riding;
but take it off of its perfectly smooth
steel track, and imagine it going forty
miles an hour on the rough, bumpy
wagon road. How long would 1t last?
Just exactly two seconds; and do
YOU imagine it would ride easy during
those two seconds?
These comparisons are made to
show the importance of light strong
material, and why some automobile
manufacturers maintain a laboratory
and experimental department which
constitutes an appreciable percentage
of the cost of their output.
The lightweight Franklin is noted
example of light weight and the use
of these modern materials.
Mr.. Mccormack, of the Pendleton
Auto company, claims that the
Franklin is stronger than any heav!
car; that it is many times safer tc
