ARMED TO TEETH
HUNTERS HIT TRAIL
A hunting party led by Chet
Walton and composed of John
Cooper, Morris Walton, Orville
Thompson and Alex J. Keating,
Jr., started last Sunday evening
on an expeditiou in quest of big
game. Walton resembled an ar
senal on the Mexican border a
brace of revolvers, a Winchester
and 300 rounds of ammunition in
his belt. Orville Thompson look
ed business-like with a repeater
over his shoulder and a bowie
knife between his teeth. John
Cooper was dressed to kill a red
shirt and an axe, while Morris
Walton and Keating brought up
the rear armed with flint-lock,
muzzle-loading 1776 models.
They soon struck a trail along
the Lava Spring preserve which
led to the turbulent Porteous
stream across which they fear
lessly forded, disregarding the
many signs of warning posted.
Upon their return they reported
that game was plentiful but their
peep sights failed to work and in
consequence thereof they were
able only to bag a grey digger
and a chipmunk.

ing to Parkdale over the pictur

ing to the train he entered the
wrong coach. Not seeing his
friend he called out "Is Mcin
tosh in here?" "No," respond
ed a voice from the rear of the
car, "but there's a McGregor
and he can lick a Mcintosh any
day.'

Measuring Nature.

winks nt any Infringement of her laws.
And In the end Is not this host? Could
the universe he run as n chnrlty or a
benevolent Institution or ns a poor
house of the most approved pnttern?
Without this merciless Justice this Ir
refrnglble law, where would we hnve

form the foundation of the hills. Man
Introduces benevolence, mercy, altru

price In his added burdens, and he
reaps bis reward In the vast social and
civic organizations that were Impossi
ble without these things. John Bur

THE OFFICIAL RECIPE.
We have heard a good deal In days
gone by about Boston baked beans.
and a good many of us have bad beans
from cuus lieuring this label that were
as bard and tasteless as bullets. Ap
parently for the purpose of rectifying
some of these wrong Impressions May'
or Fitzgerald of tie "benn city" has
recently given out the ollkial recipe
for Boston baked beans. Perhaps
some of the good wives and mothers
who read this department will be In
terested In fixing a batch as per di
rections for the purpose of determin
ing whether they are "as good as
mother used to make." It may be bad
manners to make the suggestion, but
the writer Is inclined to believe that
the beans would better lie left In that
second water Instead of pouring it off
Just after the skins burst However,
the official formula Is as follows: Tick
one quart of beans, cover with cold
water and let souk over night. In the
morning drain, cover with fresii water.
beat slowly and cook on hack of range
until skins burst Then drain water
off. Sculd three-fourths of a pound of
fat pork, place in lien ns. then mix one
tal)li'HHinnful each of salt, molasses.
sugar mid one teasponuful of mustard
Mix in a quart of boiling water and
add to lien ns. Bake slowly from six
to eight hours Uncover during last
hour and add water as needed.

Usually there wan a bhII each morn

And even after this spin the pressure

makes the writer smile to thluk of the
amusement furnished the neighbors
by the mutiitinal spin across the ranch.

A GOOD FALL FEED.
Unless the price of beef ill t lc should
slump sharply from present high levels
and the word of those well posted on
the cattle situation is to the elTect they
will not the coming mouths would
seem to be particularly favorable, for
feeding cattle for 11 future market.
Not only are unheard of prices licliig
paid for the best grades of steers on
central markets, but feeders, while
higher than usual, can be bought In
thin flesh for about fr..ro The two
factors ment limed, coupled with a
bumper corn crop which will likely
give a price of between 40 and 4." cents
a bushel, would seem to make the
prosiect excellent for realizing a good
return on the money Invested In the
enterprise In the shape of feeders and

There Is no sure way of getting en

It Is well for the husbandman to re

as possible after the grain or other crop
