Sugar Cane,

Sugar cane is a species Of grass.
The stalks or lanes resemble corn
stalks Of regions further north.
Great quantities Of cane are grown
In Louisiana and other southern
states. AS the canes approach matur-
ity they. throw out a long emooth hol-
low joint termed the arrow. AS tho
joints ripen the leaves wither and fall
away with the stem. The juice is ex-
tracted by being pressed in a sugar
mill between several heavy rollers.
The juice is forced out by pressure
and Is Immediately boiled down to

4 CAT STORY

W. r. Wilcox tells the Manhat-
tan Post the following cat story:
Last summer l took an old
mamma cat with six kittens out to
my ranch near Spanish springs.
figuring that when the kittens
grew up tn ~ could assist their par
ent in disposiug of ground squir-
rels.
Fabby apparently did not take
kindly to the simple life so she at
tempted to carry the six little ones
back to town. She would carry
one about a quarter of a mile then
return and carry another one a
half mile. Each kitten being trans
ported a quarter of a mile farther
than its predecessor, by the ii lie
Tabby had moved the last one she
was a mile and u half from the
ranch. Then she carried kitten No.
l. up to No. 2 and No. 2 up to No.
3 and SD on. When she had car
ried out this scheme she had them
strung GU: on the desert for some
thing like a mile and three-fourths.
BY the time she got around to move
each one another quarter of a mile
they began to die. She very tender
ly carried each corpse back to the
ranch and laid it on a board and
then disappeared.
Some three months later the cat
came back. 1t had taken her that
time to travel the ten miles from
the ranch. She was rather ema.
ciated, but after a few square
meals she regdined her normal ap-
pearance and sunny disposition
and lived happy ever after"
