She Buys or Sells Wheat with q Twist
of the Wrist.
An odd sight is to be witnessed daily
on the Consolidated exchange. Visitors
for some time have noted q little group
Of women who stand all day long in the
gallery at the Broadway end of the
building, says the New York Mail and
Express. They also notice one particu-
lar broker on the floor who is continual
ly craning his neck and glnncing at one
of the women in that group. Every once
in owhile, after glance, he jumps into
the wheat pit, which is just VI der the
edge of the gallery, and makes trans
action.
Only the observing will notice, how
ever, any connection between his opera
tions and the woman whom he watches.
From 10: 30 o'clock till three o'clock she
stands there, with one hand resting over
the railing. With slight movements of
this hand she gives orders to buy and
sell wheat to the broker. The number
offingers extended indicates the number
of thousands of bushels to be done, and
q twist up or down of the whole hand
tells the broker whether to buy or sell.
But that is not the queer part Of it.
A stranger asked one OF the brokers, n
friend Of his, who the woman was.
"Why," was the reply, "that's the
clairvoyant operator. She's real clair
voyant all right and she reads the future
turns in the market and buys or sells
accordingly. Or at least she thinks she
reads the future, and maybe she does,
for she has lasted longer than the ordi-
nary woman SPECTATOR. She has been
at it for months" ..'

That he was not snowy or easily valued

Otto Dorner. Of Milwaukee, Wis.
chairman Of the good roads bureau of
the League of American Wheelmen. re-
gently delivered an excellent good
roads address before the ChautauquA
assembly at Dixon, Ill. His remarks re-
lated especially to the attitude of the
league towards the farmers, and its
Essential features, embodied In the fol-
lowing article, cannot fail to be OF gen.
eral interest: -
Now the great question before us is.
said Mr.. Dorner, how shall we obtain
better country highwAys. Tha ques-
ton In not, do We nesf eo6d roads, but
how shall we get them? Road building
in the United States has been left en-
tirely in the hands of the farmers and
in charge Of the local town authorities.
These local authorities as rule have
no knowledge of the science of road
building, and so years of experience has
shown a great deal of labor wasted
and vast amounts of road taxes collect
ed in vain.
In many places our roads to-day are
no better than they were 20 and 30 years
ago. A radical Improvement in the sys-
tenn itself must be made.
The League of American Wheelmer
has been the subject of much criticism
on account of its agitation for better
highways. We have been accused OF
selfshness in the matter.
1t is believed by many that we wheel
men expect farmers TO load themselves
up with taxes that they might build
roads for the convenience of bicycle
riders. No greater mistake could be

All classes alike are beginning to re-

these lines, and upon these lines alones
the good roads improvement is bound to

these lines the League of American

roads, neglected until now, the stepchil-
dren, as it were, of great repubiics

the present miners strike and advo-
Gated government ownership of the

that desperate remedies were needed

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. s. = Every

prevent the spread of yellow fever
from Ocean Springs, Miss, and vicinity.
and to check It here, where one case
has SO far occurred. The Louisiana
board Of health 10 holding daily meet

quarantine regulations. At Mobile,
Ala. 100 persons from Scranton, BIZ
loxi and other affected points on the
midnight train were surrounded by
police and only four passengers were
let off, they being through from New
Orleans and being subject to examine
tion by the physicians here. The others
were taken on to o point above here,
where they were transferred to the
west-b bound train and sent back to
their homes.
The quarantine lines have been ex-
tended to include Scranton, Miss, and
all points as far as New Orleans. A
state quarantine will probably be
established tomorrow. Although the
action OF Mobile and Galveston in
quarantining New Orleans is resented,
there is no disposition here to re-
taliate unless fever shall appear
in one or both of those cities.
Many small towns in Mississippi
and Louisiana have quarantined
against New Orleans, but the barriers
are likely to be raised at once II no
more cases develop here. DR.. II. A.

of the situation at Ocean Springs and

opinion that with care and good man
agement this can be done in few
days.
The state board OF health has ordered
strict quarantine against Ocean
Springs, Before and other places in the
vicinity, and DIR. Walmsley, president
of the board, announces that he and
his colleagues have no fear of the fever
spreading, saying that the board is

-
Flow of MIX.
One Of the important items in making
dairying pay the best profits is to sup
ply such conditions as will best main.
tain full flow of milk. It is not the
cow that gives the most milk for a short
season after calving and while the pas.
turage is at the best, that gives the most
profit, but the COW that gives . good
even flow the greater part of the year.
While there is much in habit there 10
more in feed and management. A COW
that has been neglected, especially as
regards her feeding, during the middle
or latter part of summer, usually com
mences failing in the quantity Of milk
she will give until in six or seven months
after calying she goes dry.
| Experience In the management Of
COWS has proved that it is much easier
to maintain a good how of milk by
commencing to feed. in good season.
than to allow the milk flow to begin
to fail and then attempt to bring
her back to full flow again. Hence
it is always best to keep watch on the
pastures, and whenever they begin to

age is at its best.
But ON most farms all through the
growing season green feed ID much the
cheapest. The second growth Of clover.
millet, sowed sorghum or fodder can
be cut OH and fed as needed, and IL
care is taken to feed literally the how
of milk can be maintained. More than
with any other kind of stock good feed
ing is necessary with the milch cows.
1t is only from the surplus food over
and above what is needed for the sup
port of animal life that the milk is
made and liberal feeding is necessary II
full flow is maintained. With care in
good season the habit of milk-giving
during the greater part Of the year can
be established, and this is always Q
valuable trait in the dairy cow.
The best time to commence to estab.
lish the habit of long milk-giving IL
when the heifer is first giving milk,
but If regulated at that time and the
young COW is allowed to go dry early
now is good time to begin. Feed well
and milk regularly. With care and
persistence this defect in the early
training may be overcome. But be surs
she has plenty to eat all through thu
season.-St. Louis Republic.
