A NEW CAUSE FOR DIVORCE.
German Cookery and American Tastes Bring
About a Matrimonial Difficulty.

Brooklyn Citizen.
Pretty Mrs Caroline Blocke, who formerly
resided with her husband, Clarence w. Blocke,
in South Fourth street, is about to begin pro-
ceedings for divorce against her husband, and
has employed Counsellor DoDnelly to commence
the proceedings. Mrs Biocke was married
little over six months ago at the residence of
her father, Herman B. Schniets in Vernon
nue. Long Island City, The wedding was
brilliant affair. The groom employed by
his father who carries on the produce business
in Washington Market, New York The happy
couple, after the customary shower of rice and
old slippers had been precipitated upon them,
went to handsomely furnished apartments in
South Fourth street. All their friends predicted
a happy married life As it happened, Blocke's
family had been raised on this side of the At
lantic. while Mrs. Blocke's family were born and
reared in Germany, and had brought to this
country all the honest Saxon ideas in regard to
the culinary art The wedding breakfast of the
young couple proved anything but success
Mr. Blocke had been used to rare steak, fried
potatoes and hot rolls. Instead of finding such
a repast as this when he went down TO the
breakfast-table, he found his wife had prepared
a meal of liver pudding, rye bread and coffee.
For dinner he had pancakes saur kraut and
frankfurters, and for supper bologna sausage
and potato salad. The supper was the last meal
he ever ate, and which she prepared He re-
NAMED in the house for . week, but took all his
meals in neighboring restaurants. His wife
tried hard to get him again to try her cooking,
but he positively declined. At the end of ten
days they did not speak to each other at all,
and finally he came home very late one night,
rather mellow, and. it was said, struck his wife,

BRYAN, Feby. 16.-You cannot

appreciated IN our humble home.
Through Its columns we keep well
posted on what is going on in dear
old Washington county. And, in
deed, the readers of tho BANNER
keep well up with the news of the
day.
As a whole, Brazos county might
have boon better than it is. Land
is good along the river and
creeks, where it is too sickly for 4
white man TO live; the uplands are
generally what we would call poor.
This county is getting a fair sprink-
ling of foreigners, mainly Italians;
they fall very far short of the
Germans.
Farmers in this county are well
advanced with their work; will
generally be ready for planting
before the time comes.
People say 'money is close. "
but it seems to us q good way off,
as we scarcely ever see any.
Credit is the order of the day.
We hear of some lron-clad mort
cages being given. One man had
20 give up his team recently on Il
mortgage made two years ago.
This looks like the next thing 10
in IMPRISONMENT for debt.
Hope you will get your Brazos

The Age Of Horses.

A horses lite, with moderate
care and good usage, is protracted
to Is, So or 40 years. A gentle
man at DulwIch, near London, had
the monuments of three horses
who had severally died in his pos
session at the ages of IS, 81 and SO
years. The Oldest, it is TO be re-
marked, was in a carriage the very
day he died, strong and vigorous,
and was carried off in q spasmodic
cholic, TO which he was subject.
At Gresham, IN Buckinghsmshire,
there was a horse So years old,
which exhibited no Symphonic OF
debility or any external signs OF
age, except being nearly covered
with warts. 1t was remarkable
with regard to this four-footed Mes
tor that when an unusually hard

chosen as mover failing in what
was expected of him. A horse nam

which lived to Al years, having all

in the battle of Preston Pans, IN
the rebellion Of 1917, which was
extracted at his death in 1853; thus

benefit of it, it is all the same to
mo whether you come and take it
with your own hands or send or
permit your cows to come and
take it. Ipaid for nv land with
my labor, and the grass it produces
is mine. You paid for your COWS
with your labor and the milk they
produce is yours. Now, if you get
a IsgalIzed order to permit you to
take the grass from my land when
it is not fenced in, l think you
ought to get another order to per-
nit me to take the milk of your
COWS when they are not fenced in.

It's held up by great many that
the time needed TO properly care
for a yard OF fine fowls is q very
important element IN the calcutta
ton of the actual cost of poultry
keeping, but the fact is, it scarcely
merits the consideration which has
been SO often given It. It's no eI-
aggeration 10 say that the time
actually needed TO attend to the
necessary wants OF flock of forty
or fifty fowls, if properly housed
and yarded with ordinary regard
to the requirements of health and
comfort, docs not exceed fifteen
minutes each day. 1t is quite true
that nearly every breeder of fine
fowls expends more time than this
over his flock, but it is only be-
cause be likes the job, and is more
deliberate in going through every
detail of caring for his fowls. By
pushing the thing straight through,
and refusing to pause and admire
the superior points of this or that
bird, five or ten minutes time for
watering is all that is necessary.
1t is easy TO see that if tlme so

very active. Large orders were

Stock.

TIN Best BREEDs.-Low priced
goods are not always the cheapest
in the end. Inferior animals that
cost originally. but little money,
seldom bring good returns for the
investment, but they consume their
regular rations nevertheless. Far
mers who have stock should see
that it is good and serviceabIe, aud
then give it good care and prompt
attention. 1t is not necessary that
farm stock should all be thorough
bred, and then made delicate and
dainty from excessive caro- and at
tention. On the farm we want
stock for service, and we should
handle only such as will pay the
best in their use.
If the farmer does not breed his
own stock he should buy such as
has been we'll bred for his purposes,
and always be sure to buy tho best
breeds. Pour stock, We repeat, is
always expensive at any cost. In
as low and dill an animal as the
mule, we need not despair as to
the effect of breeding. 1t is true
thst. we cannot expect much from
me stupid ass, but the clearly bred
marc may give vigor and spirit
that will enliven her offspring. In
rearing mule colts, too little regard
is paid to the qualities of tho dam.
With many farmers any mare is
considered good enough to DO
served by a jack. We question
the wisdom Of this policy. Cattle
and hogs should be bred up by
crossing thoroughbred males upon
the native stock. Grades, possibly
more hardy and vigorous, will
give about as good practical results
as thoroughbreds; certainly so
when they arc several times
crossed; the male used should al
ways be thoroughbred. In stock
breeding, as IN farming, the inten-
slve plan will be most profitable.
Get good qualities consecrated into
a small compass by having good
stock and only q small lot; get
the best breeds.-Texas Farmer.

and that the best way is to skim
the cream and churn it before any
such work of frowyness or putrc-
faction begins. Salt will not de-
stroy the germs of putrefactIon,
but it will arrest or check their
action, but in tho end they will
show themselves and the butter
will keep longer if the germs of
decay are not developed before the
butter Is made. The sailing is
then moro preventative, because it
does not have tho active elements
OF frownyness already developed,

stances to start them. So l say

How u Yankee Woman Makes

The atmosphere would make diff
ference from one week to another.
One thing you must remember,
though, if you expect to make good
butter, it can't be done out Of poor
cream; and another thing, evsry-
thing must be done OF just the
right time, and neatly. Keep the
creamery and milk away from the
Kitchen and the pantry. Let ii be
III a room with nothing else in 1t,
where the light and heat can be
regulated. The north side of the
house is best. A room with the
SUD blazing into would not be
good. There should be wire screens
over the doors and windows to
keep the flies out. The cooler the
room the better, so there need be
no mistake about this. I think
when the cream is raised in q tight
creamery, it needs to. be stirred
often, for 1 believe IN fresh, pure
air everywhere, and | am suro it
helps the cream to mature, so as to
make better butter. 1 do not like
to have q coat on top and a lot of
whey IN the bottom of the jar. 1t
never should be left long enough
to get in this condition. It does
seem to me that such kind of cream
