COTTON GOING UP

It is gratifying to report that in the last two weeks cotton has jumped from around seven cents to nine and nine and half cents a pound. About nine out of our 15, 900, 900 bales of cotton are shipped every year but on ac- count of the war, the export will be cut in half this season, thus leaving a surplus of about five million bales; this surplus com pletely crushed the cotton mar ket and prostrated industries of the entire south. The cotton planters are borrowing money on their cotton instead of selling it, and when the Agricultu. al De- partment announces in May at the end of the planting season,
 that only "half a crop" has been planted in 1915, it is quite certain to send cotton up to about II or 12 cents again. But for this

RANGE CATTLE AND
 POISONOUS PLANTS

Answering the inquiry of a stockman of Douglas, Arizona, Prof. J. J. Thornber, Botanist of the University of Arizona Agri- cultural Experiment Station, writes: It would be difficult for me to suggest what particular poisonous weed might be respon- sible for deaths among range cat tie at this time. Larkspur plants are poisonous, but as yet lark spur leaves have scarcely begun to appear, and even where they have begun growth they are small. I do not think that cattle could get enough larkspur leaves at this time to be injurious. You have one or more species of larkspur in your community and in case of shortage of feed the cattle would eat it. This, how ever, usually happens in March or April.
 You also have some of the true loco weeds in your community, one in particular being the hardy loco. The leaves of this keep green readily during the winter season and it may be that cattle are getting this, but I have al most never seen this species abundant enough in Southern Ar. izona to be a serious factor or the range. I note that you say the cattle die very suddenly. O1 course, with loco, the death is not sudden and from the peculiar actions of the animal one is made aware of something abnormal. am not so sure about larkspul poisoning, so I cannot speak witt defniteness concerning this. shall be glad to study any plant that you might send in with the suspicion that they are poisonous plants and will give you my opin ion on them very quickly.

POTASH FROM WOOD ASHES

Potash has long been made from wood ashes, which at one time was practically the only source of all potash. Recently, however, since the discovery of the German potash beds, it has not been economical to produce this material from ashes. It seems, however, as if this is a question which has been over looked to some extent by the lumber mills, since at the pres ent time they are burning large quantities of waste and the ashes that are collected are usually thrown away.
 The process of extracting pot ash from wood ashes is exceed ingly simple and crude. It is only necessary to mix the ashes with a small quantity of lime and leach the mixture with water. The aqueous liquor thus obtained is then evaporated to a heavy syrup which solidifes on cooling. The product thus obtained is known as crude potash. Itseems, therefore, as if those lumber companies which have already large sawdust burners and are, therefore, producing raw mate rial in considerable quantities could produce potash compara- lively cheaply, since the waste heat from the burner could be utilized in evaporating the liquor to dryness.
 The market price of crude pot ash varies from 5 to 8 cents a pound, and one may expect from 5 to 8 per cent. of the weight of the ashes in potash. In other words, these ashes should be worth at least from $5. % to $8. .OO a ton; and in certain sections of the country the ashes themselves after teaching can then be sold as fertilizer. At the present time there are a number of small plants producing potash from wood ashes, but very little is known about their cost data, etc. There is, however, an indication of the tendency of the times in that company has recently been incorporated in Milwaukee for the production of potash from wood ashes, and they are said to have contracted with various wood-using concerns for the total quantity of ashes produced by | them.

CUsTARD PUDDING


 One-fourth cup uncooked rice, one-third cup sugar, two cups milk, one-eight teaspoon salt, two eggs (yolk), two eggs (whites), one-half teaspoon vanilla.
 Soak the rice in enough water to cover it; when the water is ab- sorbed, add milk and sugar, and cook until rice is soft, then add the yolks and salt, Cook three min- utes, remove from the fire, add beaten whites and favoring. Serve cold.
 POTATO CRoouErTEs
 Six good-sized potatoes, two eggs, one tbsp. butter, two tps. salt, two thirds cup hot milk, one-half tsp. pepper.
 Pare and boil the potatoes; when done, mash, add butter, milk, eggs, salt and pepper. When cool enough to handle mold into shape, roll in bread crumbs, eggs and bread crumbs again. Fry in hot fat. | To MAKE LARD
 Take the leaf fat and all other fat to be used in lard, cut it in small pieces and put in an iron kettle, which must be perfectly clean. Set it over steady, mod crate fire until the meat is golden brown color. It is best to add a small amount of water when first put on the fire. The heat must be kept up, but gentle, that it may not burn the lard. Spread coarse cloth in a wire sieve and strain the liquid into tin basins; cover and put away in cool place. Lard made with one-third as much beef suet as fat is very nice and keeps sweet much longer than that made entirely from hog fat.
 To KEEP Fees FRESH | One large pail water, one pint coarse salt, one pint unsIaked lime. Keep the nests clean; gather the eggs each day and put into stone jars filled with the solution of salt, lime and water. A fresh supply should be made every few months. Eggs may be kept the whole year l in this manner. This lime water is exactly the proper strength. Strong lime water will cook the egg.
 CARE OF LAMPS A pantry is no place for lamps, as food absorbs odors. The materials for cleaning are: Soft paper, soft cloths, pan for washing chimneys. It is well to dry chimneys first with soft cloth, then wipe out with soft paper. Be careful that all air pas sages of the lamp are kept perfectly clean. In putting in new wicks, l be sure that they are in straight. Never trim wick with scissors, but pinch it off with soft paper. To insure a good light, wicks must be changed often, as they soon become clogged and do not permit a free passage of the oil. Soaking wicks in vinegar twenty-four hours before putting in lamp insures a clear flame. Burners of lamps should be boiled in soda water at least twice a year. Keep lamps we'll filled; never turn low when filling the lamps. No sediment should be left in it. A lighted lamp should never be placed in current of air. If a lamp continues to flicker after the burner has been boiled, new burner should be used.

BURDICK THE LAGNLAPPE
OF BIG ANTLER SHOW

'Lagniappe" is Louisiana French
word meaning something extra"
something for nothing. 1t was the
old New Orleans custom for a mer-
chant to give cigar or a stick of
candy with every purchase, no mat
ter how small the purchase might
be. For this day and date only the
Elks will follow the old Cajun GUS
tom of giving something extra.
When you buy ticket to the Elks'
minstrel show it entities you to a
look and listen at the display of
talent chosen by Joe Bren to intro
duce real minstrelsy in our more or
less fair city. This versatile and
accomplished bunch of prong-horned
performers will give you your mon
ey's worth and Glen Burdick, lag
niappe of the cast, will add four
bits worth to the entertainment
without extra charge. Aside from
the regular bull affair, he will sing
his famous ditty entitled, 1.-THE Elk
Has Sordid, Deciduous Growth on,
Not in His Head"
Burdick is noted as a Snowman
who has been assigned the job of
shoeing the Bull Moose at the next
national horn-in. He was picked for
the job because of his aptability in
shoeing Elks.
Nature has saved the Elks' club
expense in this instance,
as Mr.. Burdick will require no make
up for the job.

Without this footlight genius we

ever attempted in minstrelsy.
Fortunate indeed is the community
which has the opportunity to have
this famous member of the Elks sing
G. V. Jones sings but seldom and
the Elks Minstrels are fortunate in
deed to have him sing the catchy
little ditty of his own composition,
He Kissed Her in the Garden and
She Struck Him With a Rake" The
chorus of which is as follows (audi-
ence please john:
"Her mouth scarlet bow of hope
She makes the fairy on the soap
Look like hunk of cheese.

IL things keep Oh as they have been
going for the past few years, it will be
much easier for an American citizen to
go to jail and stay there than il will
be to keep out of Jail. Every now and
then some individual or some clique
hobs up with brand new plan for
turning some of us into criminals.
The number Of new ways for getting
man into Jail is surprising. Wiscon-
sin has it's .eugenics law" which
makes it felony for couple to marry
without undergoing physical exauin-
alton. The Illinois Legislature, VT it's
present session. will gruvely consider
the passage of Il similar criminal sta
tute Other states are being asked 10
pass laws making it u felony for "a
citizen TO have any liquor in his home,
even for medical purposes. One state
has law against dancing the tango.
rhe Indiana anti-cigarette law has
never been repealed, and the state has,
MS "a result, several hundred thousand
perfectly good citizens who could be
arrested aud sent to Jail any day.
Perhaps the most striking development
of our government is that the laws are
not made by all the people nor bv rep
resentatives OF the people, but by small
chques, highly organized aud trsmend-
ousIy euergised over particular qnes-
tions. These cliques are determined
to force their views upon the whole
people, while at the same time other
cliques are forcing views on other
questions upon them. The question is
never asked whether the supposed Of
fenses against the community are as
bad as the penalties inflicted There
seems To be in the air mania to find
new ways of imprisoning American
citizens, and yet, is thepe anything
that can be as bad for the individual
or the nation as a man in jail who can
possibly be kept out?

There is nothing more irritating to
the people of small town than the
air of superiority that people from
larger towns have towards them aud
their village. It is hard to say Just
what prompts the city man to feel
greater than the villager, but he al
most invariably does. and what makes
it worse, shows il in his actions.
1t is the weakness of city people,
this belief of theirs that country people
are back numbers. The man from Il
city concern pays the country business
man visit and shows plainly that lie
considers the little merchant very
small potato; but If he were wise
enough to- realize the truth OF their
respective businesses, he would know
that the back.number merchant, as he
looks upon him. is laying by each year
