| Mrs. +. NJ. Jones' Success In Dairying-A
Woman of Clear Grit.
a little book is on my desk. 1t is
called ''Dairying For Profit; or, The
Poor Mans Cow" 1t was written by
J Mrs. Eliza NJ. Jones of BrockviIIe, Ont.
She dedicates the book to the farmers
wives of America. She tells these over
worked, sad hearted women how they
may make better butter and a third
more of it at less cost for keeping cat
tie and with less labor; also how to sell
their improved butter for a third more
than they are getting for it now. All
this Mrs. Jones has learned to do for
herself and of herself. She made mis-
takes right and left at first. she saws.
but learned from them and picked
up and went on rejoicing. From
COW worth $50 she clears annually
$50 or more. That is an excellent re-
turn from an investment of $50, but
from one of her cows she made clear
profit of 1870. She prefers the Jersey
COW. Mrs. Jones has made a magnif-
icent success of butter making in the
home dairy. 1t is because everything is
done Systematically in her dairy, and,
above all, she considers it not "unlady-
like for her to superintend or do any
needed thing. l have seen many dairy
books, but this little volume of less than
100 pages seems to me to condense better
than any other the whole story of how
to make the home dairy succeed. Every
point, from the selecting of a good
cow to the selling of gilt edged but
ter at the highest price, is covered.
In the lady's own dairy the cow feed
is weighed and the cost of it counted.
The milk yield from each COW is weighed
and tested, and a record of its quantity
and the amount of butter made from it
every year is strictly kept. A cleanli-
ness that would appall hundreds of our
slovenly old American farmers and dairy
men is preached from the word go"
Mrs. Jones says she breaches it most of
all because sit pays" What she has
done any other Industrious woman of the
clear grit can do. If you have not the
clear grit, you will never do anything. [
am proud of Eliza NJ. Jones, the helper
of herself and others.
If / had the opportunity to lecture to
young men, one of the points l should
insist on most strongly would be that
they should never contract the fearful
habit of coughing and expectorating. 1t
is a habit as unnecessary as it is unpleas-
ant Life is made burden to refined
Europeans, and they are sickened I'M
speakably when they first come to our
country by this habit among our coun-
trymen. Women do not do it. Men do
not do it anywhere else in the world.
Miss Eliza Work of Henrietta, N. Y,
is 100 years old. She says: 81 have
done big days work every day for 80
years, and I expect to do a great many
more. 1 have never had occasion to use
spectacles yet, and my teeth are the same
teeth have always had The reason
have lived so long and kept so well and
hearty is because never drank tea or
coffee, and, above all, never got mar
ried. My brother lived to be 1O1, and
would have lived much longer if he had
never married"
Miss Adah Curnutt of Norman, o. T.,
is clerk of the United States district
court. Besides that, she is a deputy
United States marshal. Lately she cap
tured at Oklahoma City and took hand
cuffed to Guthrie two desperadoes of the
worst character. She had been ordered
to arrest them. She read the warrants.
They laughed at her. She told them if
they did not go with her she would in
stantly summon every man on the streets
of Oklahoma City to her assistance. Then
they laughed the other side of the mouth
and wilted. Miss Curnutt handcuffed
them together and telegraphed the
United States marshal at Guthrie:
Meet me at the train. / have Reagan
and Dolezel."
Miss Annette Daisy, Kentucky girl,
went in with the boomers at the time of |
the opening of the Cherokee strip, taking |
with her colony Of women, unmarried |
and widows. The plucky women estab- !
ished themselves not far from Ponca.
they have built two houses and num-
Der of temporary huts for shelter and have |
begun to cultivate their land-4S0 acres. |
The story of this colony of women will |
De followed with interest.
Miss Helen M Winslow of Boston is |
me of the most capable and versatile |
women alive. / hardly think |
/ woman of any other nationality could
10 so many kinds of journalistic work
Is this American girl accomplishes and
10 it SO we'll. She is equally at home in
writing a description of manual train
ng in the Boston public schools or tell
ng women how to dress BEAUTIFULLY
md beautifully. Miss Winslow is on
he staff of Comfort, - doing much of
Is varied editorial work. At the same
ime she contributes regularly to the
Boston Beacon. She has prepared her
elf by constant practice in writing and
y laying up great store of general
for the important work she
) now called on to do. 1 wish more
Dung newspaper women would prepare
themselves in the same way.
