Crop Outlook.
The first of the week a Record
representative made a trip
through the country east of
Kenna for about 20 miles and
found the crop outlook very en
couraging, considering the
lateness of ihe rains. While
most of the crops are late, ther
are a number of crops well ad
vanced, which promise an
abundance of feed for theii
owners,
Tho rains have been general
over tine section and the grass
is coming fast. Cattle are fat
ajd thrifty, though there is con
siderable blackleg reported
throughout the countiy.
The first crop of any import
a ice was on tho C. D. Spilhnaii
farm, which promises a fairly
good yield.
The Slack boys have a good
crop, and say that iheir maize
is the. best that they have
grQ,wn in several year.
J. V. Davis reports a go'i
crop on his place, and fiom tht
looks of Thos. Dillbeek's croj
he wiil be able to burn gasolir.e
for several years yet.
Chas, Glover and J. II. Hen
drix both have good dry yeai
crops and will make some corn.
On the J. H. Loe farm is a:
fine a field of kaffir as one need
wish to see.
E. L. Small will harvest an
abundance of kaffir and cane,
and L. M Carmichael has as
line a field of k&ffir as any
man's wife need wish to grow.

The Toothsome Jackrab-
blt and How to Eat
Him
(Kort Sumner Review.)
Uncle S im has recently issued
a bulletin advising the people t
raise lubbits to help solve the
meat supply. What the people
of tho short-grass country need
is an appetite for rabbits no
need to raise them for they are
here already. Regarding eating
rabbits the following furnished
by a Texas man for the prepa
ration of rabbits for the table it
about as good as we know of:
'Teel the jackrabbit carefully
and remove all interior blub-
bings; put on to boil over a slow
fire; replenish water whenever
necessary until cistern is empt
ied. As soon as the cistern is
full again repeat the process;
select a clean, nmooth pine
plank; place the rabbit on it:
6alt and pepper to taste and
take five hours; then bury the
rabbit and eat the plank."

To All Receivers of Coal
Within the State of
New Mexico
This h to advise that during
the month of July following the
action of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, all railroads
in this ttate participating in
coal traffic, filed supplements to
their traffics,, increasing Jthe
rates on coal from and to points
within this state 15 cents per
toneffective August 20, 11)17.
The commission on the 8th
instant, issued a call for a hear
ing of. representatives of all in
terested carriers, to be held at
Santa Fe on the 18th instant, to
show cause why the present
rates on coal from and to points
within this state should not be
disturbed until otheiwise fixed
or determined by this Commis
sion. The hearing was had as
scheduled, and the earners de
clined to suspend it he supple
ments showintr the increased
rates, which become effective
today, and thu Commission will
therefore transfer the cause to
the Supreme Court of the Stale
of JNew Mexico during this
week for adjudication; and,
pending the decision of that
tribunal, it is requested that all
freight bills paid by receivers of
coal in this state, covering ship
ments from Nevy Mexico mines,
based on the increased rate.3, be
retained bo that they may be
readily acessible in the event
that the action of this Commis
sion is sustained by the Supreme
Court, so that arrangements
may be made for refund to the
old rats. Pl?ase be governed
accordingly.
Very respectfully,
State Corporation Commisson

An Irish soldier had lost an
eye in battle, but was allowed
to continue in the service on
consenting to have a glass eye
in its place, says an English
paper, One day, however, he
appeared on parade without his
artificial eye.
"Nolan," said the officer,
"you are not properly dressed.
Why is your artificial eye not
in its place?"
"Sure, sir," replied Nolan,
I left it in me box to keep an
eye on me kit while I'm on parade."
