How Oatmeal is Made,

The manufacture of oatmeal from
oats is very different from the making
of -four from wheat. The cleaning pro-
cesses in the first place involve much
more labor and require more time and
machinery, the oat kernel being in
numbered with its hull and more bulky
and difficult to separate from foreign
substances. After cleaning and before
hulling. the oats are dried by heat. an
operation demanding still moro special
machinery, and requiring time and
careful attention. After drying they
arc cooled and sent to the hullers.
These arc stones with a sharp grit, and
the hulling process must be carefully
managed, as it is important to avoid
breaking the kernel. Good machinery
is required for all these operations. In
preparing the meal from the kernels
the rolling process has almost entirely
superseded the former method of steel
cutting, as the rolled meal may be
cooked much quicker, requiring less
than one-quarter Of the time needed for
the cut meal. Good Housekeeping.

SAD Romance OF an Old Woman Who Sells
Flowers ON COney Island.
There Is a woman OF sixty odd years,
with gray-blue eyes and a face that is
an iliad OF pain, who brings birch bark
baskets filled with goldenrod and bright
mhxWeeds and cardinal flowers Tor sale
at the hotels at Manhattan and Brieh-
ton beaches. Her story is romance,
one OF two that have known. The
first Is a bright colored history OF a man
who drove drays on the Bowery and
now IS a college professor; the second is
a dun-colored tale OF grief from begin
ming to end. -.
The nower seller was a young wife
with one child when the German revo-
lutlonlsts If 1913 were exiled. Her
husband was banished under the de-
cree. lie came to America promising
10 send for her as soon rs he found
work and a home. He had not a cent
OF money to leave her. so he took the
ooy' relieving her Of the support of the
calld. In year she received her pass
age money. and EN- barlzed with Il high
heart Tor the new country. No hus-
band was waiting for her when she
landed. She Wis. ted the town in Gen.
tral New YORK from which his letters
had been directed. No husband was
there. lie had left with his son two
weeks previous to be on hand at the ar
rival of the vessel.
No word from him had she ever
from that day. What mischance befel'
him, for she secuted the whisper of
unfalthfulness, is the question she has
brooded over for forty years. She has
washed and sewed to keep body and
soul together, and now she wanders
the meadows for marsh rosemary and
bright-hued wild flowers and arranges
them in canoe-shaped bark baskets for
sale to summer merrymakers. They
say she is not quite right in her mind
She is always il hurry to be away
from. you as if in search of some one
and her face always wears the same
troubled, pathetic, appealing express
sion, as if despairing she still waited
for news that never came.
She is rather tall in stature, with
the slightest of stoops. her skin is pale
but clear, and to see her eyes is to be
haunted with a lingering sense OF pain
When you SPEAK to her she smiles
with a quick sense OF gratitude for a
moment OF human companionship, but
at once she is gone; she has no time
to spare from the quest that will have
no end. IN. Y. Mail and Express.

Weeds make valuable food for

young and tender weeds to the stock
than to allow them to waste. On some
fields the weeds are often thick enough

make excellent hog food. Purslane and
crabgrass are highly relished by cattle
and swine.
Preserved crab-apples have pecu

occur on lands that are partly drained

and the owner goes on year after year
cultivating them, with his success en-.

amount of rainfall.
