Some Cow!

Murine Cowan needs no minimum
wage law. She is a skilled worker,
able to earn her living, and always
on the job. For the year ending
with February, she made $3.04 a
day, every day in the week and
every week in the year, without even
stopping for a summer vacation.
Indeed, as they say in Barberton,
O., where she lives, grazes and cheWs
her cud, Murine is some cow!' The
full extent of her bovinity may be
realized from the statement that in
these - months she produced a.
OOS pounds of milk and 1,09S pounds
of butter fat. Or, in less scientific
dairyman language, Murine gave p
100 gallons of milk, containing
enough fat to make 1874 pounds Of
the finest butter. That quantity OF
milk, be it known, is IS times the
weight of Murine herself, and the
butter alone weighed considerably
problematical. AS rule the novices
do not last long.
more than the gentle producer. Her
largest milk yield in "a hours was
S2.3 pounds, little more than ten
gallons. In seven energetic days
she produces 565.S pounds of milk,
containing 24.44 pounds of butter
fat
From these precise data it might
be surmised that Murine is not mere
" an unusual COW, but that she re-
ceives unusual attention. If she liv-
ed on precarious pickings and slept
in cold and dirty stall and was
kicked around like a houn' dawg by
an unsympathetic hired hand, she
wouldn't have a worlds record for
bovine efficiency. Her stall is scru-
pulously clean. with a cement floor
and steampipes underneath it, and in
summer she is cooled by an electric
fan and protected from insect pests
bv festoons of sticky fypaper. She
is fed regularly and daintily, and
milked four times day.
All this expense for diet and per-
sonal service eats up half her gross
earnings. but she's still so profitable
that her owner. o. c. Barber, the
match king" values her at $4,000.
He bought her for little over S1OO.
The difference seems to indicate what
scientific dairying will do in bring
ing out all that is best in a cow

HUERTA RETURNS.
Former Dictator Reaches New York.
Plans No Mischief.

New York, April l2.-Gen. Victor
iano Huerta. provisional president OF
Mexico, who for nearly year has
been an exile in Spain, arrived here
today on the Spanish ship Lopez from
Cadiz. Gen. Huerta was passed by
immigration officials as a transient
alien, after he had sworn he would
do nothing that would in any way
involve the, neutrality of the United
States.
The former dictator said that he
had come to the United States partly
for pleasure and partly to attend to
personal business. He swore that he
had no intention of going to Mexico
or to Cuba. The length of his stay.
he said, was indefinite, but he would
return to Spain, possibly sailing early
in May.
Gen. Huerta posed for newspaper
photographers. but declined to say
anything as to his mission, agreeing
to meet newspaper men at his hotel.
Following this appointment he said:
Il understand that my presence IN
this country creates in YOU the desire
to know my views about the affairs
Of Mexico. and l promise to satisfy
your wishes to the best of my ability.
| beg you gentlemen to remem-
Der that no interview with me should
be considered as authentic unless it
carries my personal signature.
Gen. Huerta was accompanied by
Gen. Jose c. Delgardo. his private
secretary. and by Abraham Rather, a
personal friend of the general. who
declared himself as an American citl-
zen, giving his residence as New
York.
Passengers on the ship said that
Gen. Huerta mingled little with his
fellow passengers.

: ,OOO. 900 TONS POTASH IN WEST
Valley Floor of Searles Lake, Cali
fornia to Make the Yield.

With the importations Of potash
from Germany practically shut off by
the war, a promising and valuable
source of commercial potash has been
discovered in the United States, which
government experts estimate contains
100000 tons of water-soluble pot
ash deposits.
This is the salt-incrusted valley
floor commonly known as Searles
lake. in southeastern California.
says the Washington Star. 1t has
lately come into prominence through
the widespread interest in the
search for an available source of pot
ash in this country and the apparent
ly promising prospects this locality
affords is of a considerable COM
mercial production in the near future.
Previous Estimates Confirmed.
The estimate made three years
ago that this deposit contains 4,O0O,-
600 tons of water-soluble potash
salts seems to have been amply con-
firmed by subsequent developments.
That this amount Of potash salts will
actually be produced and placed on
the market can not yet be consider
ed assured, but so far as can be
Judged from evidence available it
seems that this deposit is the most
promising immediate SOURCE of COM
mercial potash in the United States.

main features of the lake history;

Waters that formerly filled Owens
valley until they overfowed, flooding
successfully lower and lower basins,

Ehrhardt EtchingS.

Ehrhardt, April 12.-Farmers are
hard after another crop. Most Of
them have about sold out their cot
ton holdings and think more would
be wanted for this fall and are now
going hard at it to make more.
The farmers have bought some
commercial fertilizer, but nothing
like they did for 1914; but they are
going to try all the same; say they
will put less fartilizer and more work
and see if that will not do all right.
The Bamberg-Ehrhardt railroad
does quite business, they haul quite
a number of passengers each day on
their side door pullman car. ANY
way the whistle blows just the same.

Meeting the Opposition.

A member Of the Democratic

does not appear whether he gather
ed many converts to the party creed
or not, but he certainly added to the
humor of the situation.
On one occasion, when a vast
crowd had gathered to hear him hold
forth, he addressed them this wise:
"Fellow citizens, our opponents
are resorting to every form of>dis-
honesty, deception and underhanded
trickery to corrupt the voters. But,

TIE :Ancients' Medical Skill.

Latin-America offers an exception
ally good field for drugs and more.
especially proprietary medicines.
writes w. E. Aughinbaugh. Owing
to the fact that doctors are compara-
lively few throughout these coun-
tries, and are only to be found in the
cities and larger towns, and the fur
ther fact that they charge we'll for
their services, the natives have been
in a great measure thrown, on their
own resources and have developed a
knowledge of the uses and therapeu-
tic action of the common drugs and
medicines. Through the aborigines
and primitive Indians they also learn
ed much about the medicinal plants,
shrubs and trees indigenous to the
soil.
Both cocaine and quinine were
first discovered and used by the pre-
historic inhabitants of Peru, Ecuador
and Boliyia. A cup made from the
wood of the tree yielding quinine was
filled with water and allowed. to
stand overnight. In the morning the
LIQUID had become saturated with
medicinal properties possessed by
the wood, and its bitter contents
were drunk. The quassia cups sold
in drug stores in this country during
the past, century were the early
method used to administer quinlne.
The leaf from the living cocaine is
chewed today by the Indians living
in the mountainous districts of Pc
ru, Ecuador and Bolivia. 1t acts as
a heart stimulant in those high al
titudes and deadens the pangs of
hunger so frequently felt by the half
starved natives. e."
The Chumus, who lived in Peru,
according to some authorities, 25,-
600 years before Christ, and whose
dominions extended into Bolivia,
Ecuador and parts Of Brazil and Co.
lombia, had pharmacopoeia of their
own. Most of the articles used by
them as medicines aeons ago are
used by the physicians of today.
Their surgeons were highly skilled,
too. There have been skulls dug up
in their old cemeteries that showed
that their owners during life had
been injured many times in battle
by blunt instruments presumably
clubs, and that their lives had been
saved by trepining. l recall one
skull with four silver plates, several
with three, very many with two. and
hundreds with one.-Leslie's Week
