CHEAPER MEAT FROM TEXAS
Ranchers Forming Organization to
Sell Beef In New York lndepen-
dent Of All Large Dealers.

Talk of getting meat supplies at
first hand has been feature OF every
general discussion Of the cost OF beef
ever since the packers alleged trust
was first investigated years ago 1t
has been said many times that there
should be some way to get beef d.
rectly from the ranches to the re-
tail dealers in the large cities and
thus cut out the middlemen. says
Buffalo Express. The packers have
commended that their ability to utilize
every part OF a steer helped to keep
down the prices OF meat.
An organization is now being formed
among hte Texas ranchers to provide
for the sale of beef In New York In
dependently OF all large dealers. The
cattle will be slaughtered IN Texas
and the beef shipped from Galveston
directly to retail dealers in New York.
II is said that a small Galveston com.
pany. which has a new way OF packing
and canning, has had considerable
success in this trade In the metropolis.
1t would seem that 1t might be pos
sible for csttle-owners to make more
money through a business of this
kind than by sending their cattle to
the Chicago market, for instance. and,
at the same time, sell the meat to
retailers at prices which would make
It possible for them to cut under the
regular clearinghouse prices.

PROFIT IN GROWING WEEDS
Wisconsin Agricultural Professor
Shows How Hundred Dollars an
Acre Candle Made.

A profit Of 500 an acre from grow
Ing weeds which have medicinal prop
critics is a possibility for any farmer,
according to experiments which Prof.
E. Kremer of the State Agricultural
college of Wisconsin has been making
on a four-acre tract near Madison.
Catnip, boneset, spearmint, pepper
mint, sage, horehound and tansy are
some Of the drug weeds which Pro-
fessor kremer found could be grown
with profit. For all these there Is a
steady market, and they can be grown
with no more care or attention than
ordinary timothy hay. While the lat
ter Is high at one cent pound, the
leaves of the drug weeds, when prop.
erly dried and cured, may be sold for
from three to eight cents pound.
Spearmint Is one of the many weeds
ordinarily neglected which Professor
Kremer finds can be grown with profit.
Manufacturers Of chewing gum and
other commodities use large quantities
and 1t can be grown on wet, soggy
ground which Is useless for any other
purpose.
The finest quality of catnip can be
sold for eight cents pound, while
sage and peppermint present good pos
sibllities of profit The boneset Is
wild plant usually growing In marshy
ground. 1t may be planted broadcast
like timothy and the dried plants are
worth from five to six cents pound.

NORSEMEN FIRST IN AMERICA

London antiquaries have the oppor-

at Charing Cross the celebrated
Fletcher runic stone, discovered near
over one hundred years ago, is now

On this stone strange characters

Philadelphia, to decipher the mysteri-

men).
Searching through ancient writings,
Mr.. Phillips found that in an expedi-
ton Of Norsemen which left Green
land In the year 1907, the name Of
Harki occurred. This expedition,
consisting OF 100 men in two ships
under the leadership Of Thorfnn
Kariselfne and Bjorne Grimofsen,
took all kinds Of live stock with them
for the purpose Of establishing a
colony in Vinland (Massachusetts)
But on their way they landed and

To celebrate this event, Harki, one
of their chieftains, addressed his fol-

position he holds And if the English
are forced, like the Germans, to re-

cen, Gen Sir John French knows
where he can find as gallant COM
pany of loyal British youths as ever
fought for their king. Here's the
story:
AS an elderly, gray-haired gentleman
stood waiting for team near West
minister bridge some weeks ago. there
suddenly swept into view rather non
descript company of ten or twelve
youngsters-membe Of the Boy
Scouts. The little company, to the
monotonous beat of oil can drums, and
led by very freckled, very young man,
who carried staff from which ribbons
fluttered, clambered up the embank.

The gray-haired gentleman, who
watched the evolution, smiled. The
freckled leader bushed furiously,
brought his staff down on the pave.
ment with bang and, looking the
gray haired gentleman in the eye, said,
Who the - are you laughing at?'
The gentleman drew himself up
stifily and apologized The young
leader was not appeased. Without a
trace of pertness, but as though the
organization for which he stood had
been ridiculed, he said We'll, If you
want to know, we're doing little bit
for our country. 1t amt much. but
may arst when you did yours last?"
The smile completely disappeared
from the gentleman face, as work.
man near by leaned to the Boy Scout
leader and whispered something in
that young gentleman's ear. The boy
gulped, fell back momentarily, and
then, pulling himself together, stepped
to the front of his youthful command.
He gave a shrill order. Every right
hand jerked to every cap in military
salute and remained there.
The frecked leader, his face once
more a deep crimson-but not of an
ger this time-about-face directly In
front of the gray-haired gentleman,
who without moving, had been intent
ly watching these "maneuvers.' AS
the leader turned from his company
and faced the gentleman, his hand
went to his cap in salute.
Il beg your pardon, general" he
said.
1t was Gen. Sir John French to
whom he spoke. And General French
showed why he is the leader he has
become The great soldier leaned to
the boy, shook his hand warmly, and
paid him further compliment by say
ing. There were alas no scouts when
| was a boy" Then he returned the
salute and walked away.

PROVES STRENGTH OF HEART

Or. w. A. Schtange, in recent
number Of the Roussky Vratch, ex.
plains why healthy person can sus'
pend breathing for from thirty to

three times as long. This depends.
the doctor asserts, not on the lung

way before giving them general
anesthetic, such as ether or chloro-
form. Seated In chair, the patient
Is instructed to take deep inspira-
ton and, with the mouth closed, to
hold his breath as long as he can. The
longer he can hold 1t the less danger
will there be from the anesthetic,
and should he not be able to suspend
his breathing for as long as twenty
seconds, the anesthetic is, as the doc
tor says, "contra-indicated.'
