Catching, Tripping and Rozing a Steer
In Twenty-seven Stands
To rope, "bust" and "bog tie” a wild
Fexgs ’ longhorn single handed in two
minutes is a sport which represents the
daily work of the range Men of quick
eye and steady nerve each start their
fifty feet behind the longhorn, which
may jump the arena fence like a deer
and again and again dodge when it
bears the first swish of the rope The
rope often breaks on the tautening, or
the saddle may slip, as in the case of
Bill Mahaffey, who landed on his head
with foot caught in the stirrup and but
for the splendidly trained cow pony
might have been dragged and killed
There goes Cuba Crutchfield: He
overtakes his sister. Swish, swish! His
lariat zips through the air—a beautiful
throw over the horns. Then the cow
pony braces, and the rope tightens like
a harp string. Watching, anticipating
every move of his horned adversary,
the cowboy now circles the animal so
that the rope is brought from the horns
around the hind legs. A word. and the
knowing pony makes a sudden start
Thud, and the steer is tripped or "bust-
ed.’’ The rope tautens, and the rider is
already running afoot with a short cord
in hand toward the steer, depending
for hfs own safety on bis trained cow
pony to hold that rope taut and the
steer in position. With marvelous dex-
terity he "hog ties” with a number of
half hitches looped about the hind feet
and one forefoot of the steer The man
stands erect, raises both arms in the
air, and Crutchfield has not only won
the steer roping championship. but has
ridden down, roped. thrown and hog
tied a steer in twenty-seven seconds,
within six seconds of the best record
ever made.— World’s Work.

How to Use Muslin Sugar Sacks.*
A practical housewife states that she
has carefully cared for all muslin sug-
ar sacks and has found them very use-
ful during the summer to slip over
disbes of cooked food when they could
not be put in the cellar or a refrigera-
tor and it was necessary to protect the
food from flies or possible insects.
fThis is useful for the country house-
wife, who does not always have the
modern imnprovements.
Texas ranks seventeenth in wheat
production, but compares more fav-
orably in the prices paid and the
yield per acre.

Edison Tells the Secret of How They
Strike the Right Note.
Thomas A. Edison, who has an e}-
pert knowledge of every known mu-
sical instrument, from the oboe to the
aeolian harp, was discussing the great
violinists of the present age. He spoke
with deep feeling.
"I have to admit,” he declared sadly,
"that for a long time those fellows had
me completely bewildered. I used to
watch them in amazement. Every time
one of them shot a finger halfway
down the neck of bis fiddle and stop-
ped it in exactly the right place for
the sounding note I gasped’ in astonish-
ment Every time, It seemed, he could
stop that finger correctly within one
thousandth of an inch. That’s what he
had to do in order to make the right
note. And I concluded that he and his
fellows were in some way superior to
all other kinds of people in the matter
of judging distances
"But I know better now After long
and careful observation I have discov-
ered the truth. Those fellows shoot
their fingers up and down with an air
of great confidence, but they never
know exactly where the fingers will
stop. Like any other human being,
they guess at it. Then just as the note
is begun by the scraping of the bow
their trained ears catch the defect. and
they readjust their fingers Conse
quently. although the public doesn’t
know it. the great violin geniuses of
the world fill their work with a lot of
notes that start falsely.”—Popular Mag
azine.
How to Make Deliciously Toothsome
Jams Without Sugar.
This is a fine way to make jam
without sugar. Wash. dry and pick
the fruit and boil it till thoroughly
cooked. Soft fruit, such as currants,
etc., requires no water, but it is better
to put a very little with stone fruit.
Sweeten to taste with saccharine, and
if the jam is a red one add a few
drops of cochineal or carmine to color.
Draw the pan to one side of the fire,
allow the jam to keep hot, but do not
let it boil again. Next prepare the
Jars most carefully, for the whole suc-
cess of the jam depends on the thor-
oughness with which this is done. Un-
less every germ is excluded the fruit
will ferment
Choose glass jars, as these are less
likely to contain any flaw than the
earthenware jars. Wash the jars with
strong soda water, rinse them in hot
fresh water, wipe them. being espe-
cially careful to dry the crevices. Soak
the covering papers, use good parch-
ment. dry them and leave them till
wanted on a clean cloth. Place a small
gable within reach of the preserving
pan, and on it put a tray with a clean
plate containing a scalded soup ladle,
have ready to hand a small coal shovel,
a box of matches, two hatpins, a stick
of sulphur and as many small bits of
sulphur as there are jars.
Light the stick of sulphur over the
coal shovel and hold it in the left
hand. Take a jar and hold it upside
down over the sulphur for a few min-
utes. and when it is full of the sulphur
fumes set it on the tray, upside down,
so as to retain the fumes. Put the
shovel on the window sill outside and
shut the window.
Stick a tiny piece of sulphur on the
end of one of the hatpins. Take up
the jar and fill it quickly with fruit to
within half an inch of the top of the
jar, using the soup ladle to do this.
If any gets split on the edge of the jar
wipe it quickly but thoroughly off.
Tight the small piece of sulphur at
the end of the hatpin and let it fall
burning on top of the preserve, using
the second hatpin to push it off the
spoint of the other.
Cover the jar quickly with the parch-
ment and tie it down tightly with
string. Proceed in this way till all the

Only His Little Joke.
A clergyman who was a widower
had three grownup daughters Hav
ing occasion to go away from home
for a few weeks, he wrote home from
time to time. In one of his letters he
informed them that he had "married_a
widow with six children." This creat-
ed a stir in the household. When the
vicar returned home one of his dough
tors, her eyes red with weeping, said:
"Where’s the widow you married,
father?”
“Oh. I married her to another man
I ought to have told you that.”—Lon

J. V. Patterson FARMERS'RESTAURANT
A Change That Worked.
Little Alice was writing invitations j
for her birthday party and had been
instructed by her mother to write the
sentence “Please bring no presents" at
the bottom of each invitation.
The little guests arrived at the ap
pointed time, but each came with a
gift for tbe hostess
Alice upon being taken to task for
having forgotten the sentence said:
“No. mamma; I put in every single
letter of that note. I only changed the
no’ the least little bit.”
The note read, "Please bring on pres-
ents.”—Ladies’ Home Journal
How to Use the Casserole.
An American housewife who is not
acquainted with this little brown
friend the casserole, feels a certain
amount of fright at the French name.
So called plain cooks feel themselves
too lowly to dabble in French cookery.
Yet the casserole has no hidden mys-
teries to appall Hie simplest housewife.
It is a covered dish, made of brown
fireproof (tottery, which can be used
in the oven or on top of the stove. It
comes in large sizes and small indi-
vidual dishes. The food cooked in
these dishes is called a casserole of
rice, chicken, spaghetti or whatever
it may chance to be
The beauty of these little brown pots
is that the eheapest meats and all the
most unheard of leftovers will issue
forth after the cooking as the most
delicious of dishes
into a casserole may be put all the
housewife learns to save the smallest
amount of food Sueh a mixture as the
following is ver- ommon: A little cold
meit or ! sh. a -pnonful of macarin or
epighet•. one rarrut a talilepwwnfut
ol pr-is or <<>rn. a little soup stork and
seasouinu. and the whole comes out a
most delicious mixture. The next time
you have f od left over try a casserole
dish and see if it isn't voted a success
by the entire family.
