THE NEW WOMAN.
She Is Capable of Doing Many Thing
Well.
(To be Continued.)

She Is Capable OF Doing Many Things
An exchange says in relation to the
new woman:
What in the world is there that the
nd-of-the-century young woman does
not dO-eXcepting household work?
She is a physician. She is surgeon.
She is a trained nurse, and does not
shrink from following the Red Cross
to the front in the tumult of war. She
is a farmer. She is a stock raiser,
and an expert in cattle and horse flesh.
She is stenographer. She is an eX-
pert bookkeeper. She keeps store-all
kinds of stores, including butchers
and grOcers'. She conducts and owns
hotels. She is a dentist. She is a hair
dresser. She is a barber. She still ex-
cells at her old trade of dressmaking
and hat trimming, although curiously
enough, the eX-tyrant, man. has gone
into both of these formerly exclusively
feminine fields, by way of revenge,
presumably, and has also competed
with her and beaten her all hollow at
NoOhlhS' SOOhcIy Will WOllldu was Il
plain, practical matter. Man has made
Of it an art and science, and now, at
the eleventh hour, woman lecturers
are going about the country instruct
ing their sisters in the new cookery.
The great success, in point of attend
ance, of the classes conducted by these
ladies shows that woman is making a
desperate effort to retrieve her lost
ground in what is to a great many Of
her seX-and this statement is set
down with regret but it is none the
less true-a lost art. The piano, the
violin, culture blue stockings and
aspirations have played the mischief
with a woman as a cook, and in spite
of all the lectures and all the schools
and all the practical demonstrations, it
is to be doubted whether woman will
ever retrieve her lost ground in the
kitchen"

To the Farmers Review: Every per-
son engaged in farming should keep
from two to six cows. They should be
as near pure-bred Shorthorn, Hereford
or Polled-Angus stock as possible, and
they should always be bred to regis
tered bull. We let our calves suck the
cows, allowing them to take about
tWo-thirds of the milk from their
mothers twice day, morning and
evening, until they are five or six
months old. We give them the run OF
the grass lot at the same time. We
have our cows come fresh about March
or April and aim to keep them milking
ten or eleven months, thinking it
better for the cows and the calves
they carry, that the cows be allowed
to go dry for about two months. In
the spring we feed our cows fodder In
boxes placed in the barn lot. The
feeding is done in the day time. Dur
ing bad days and always at night we
tie the cows in the barn in their stalls
and feed them clover hay with about
ten ears Of corn each. If our corn is
dry and hard, we grind it cob and all
and feed the meal with about one-third
the bulk of wheat bran mixed with it,
We give our cows at all times the run
OF blue grass pasture, and when the
grass gets good and plentiful we
shorten up on the meal and hay. We
SOW a patch of corn to feed in August
and September, while the pastures are
dried up. We put our ground in or
der for this patch of feed just the same
as if we We're going to SOW wheat or
oats. We sow it with the wheat drill,
the same as we SOW oats. 1t makes
more and better feed to the acre than
anything else we have tried. We cut
and feed it as needed. AS the stalks
are small the cows eat it with a relish
! To get the best results from your
cows and calves they should never be
permitted to go hungry.-S. Garinger,
| Fayette County, Ohio.

mercy" said Cleland, after pause:
"and I think there is no man who
would dare to say that we do wrong
in trying to free the Soudan from the
rule of these barbarous, bloodthirsty
massacreing hordes. / confess to shar-
ing the enthusiasm of the war spirit SC
far. l have made up my mind to go
on to Atbara, Mrs. Breynton."
A strange expression fitted sudden
ly over Adrienne Breynton's face. 1t
was like a CULVER
You are not going to the desert?"
she asked, little pantingly.
Eyes. They require doctor, and I
have offered my services. / am going
next week"
Adrienne's white hand moved the
fan it held to and fro gently. Cleland
could not see that her cheek was grad
ually growing as white as that hand.
You don't know the Soudan," she
said at last, in low tone. 1T has
killed our best and bravest men. 1t Is
man-eater. sucking the life out Of
strong men, not by battle or murder
or sudden death, but by slow, ignoble
disease. Think of the days of weary
march through storms of sand, be-
meath a sweltering sun! And the
nights, sometimes icy cold, sometimes
hot and close as an oven. Think of
sickness there" She shuddered.
Il shall not think of it at ALL" said
Cleland, quietly. Others do not, and
why should /? l could not stay here
and lead this life of ignoble ease
while Others are bravely facing dan
ger or death. You would not think
the more of me for doing so, am
sure. Mrs. Breynton."
A lovely color, soft and warm like
the blush of a pale damask rose,
swept over her face for moment.
Did Cleland notice it? 1t was not
likely. For two years only one wom-
ans image had dwelt in Paul Gle
lands mind, and he had never even
imagined that any other could obtain
an entrance there.
Yet there was no woman for whom
he had so high a respect, so warm an
admiration, so true a friendship, as for
Adrienne Breynton.
But the soft blush in Adrienne's
face was not in response to respect or
admiration or friendship.
why, tea is in, and we have taken
no notice of it," she exclaimed the
next moment, as if to cover her mo-
mentary embarrassment. Il will pour
you out a cup, DR.. Cleland"
AS she crossed the room, her pale
be teagown falling in soft folds
lround her, the door was opened, a
servant announced Major Rayburn,"
and Mrs. Breynton paused, and turned
towards the door to receive her second
guest.

Gama-grass (Tripsacum dacty!oides)
is perennial growing throughout the
southern states and north to Connec-
ticut, Pennsylvania. southern Illinois
and Kansas. Formerly it was rather
common in the South, but it has been
largely killed out by close grazing.
The roots are numerous, deep and
stout, and would require two or three
spans Of horses to pillow them up. The
grass grows in large clumps, a char.
acter that interferes with its use as
hay unless the punches are close
enough together to form a continuous
sod. The stalks and leaves are quite
coarse, the former growing several
feet high and being as much as half
an inch in diameter. The leaves are
broad, somewhat resembling corn
leaves. The flowers are borne at the
top of the stalk in two or three sien-
der spikes, four to eight inches long.
The lower parts of these produce the
seeds. At maturity the lower part OF
each spike breaks up into joints, each
joint containing a seed. II cut before
the flower-stalks are produced the hay

pure-bred sheep, even If we take the
total product from all the breeds OF
sheep having recognized registry as

The feeces Of wool which are graded
by local dealers or commission men ara
seldom opened. The sorting process
is much closer and more accurate
method of classifying woods. Before
the wool is secured 1t is generally sort.
ed. The expert wool sorter opens the
fleece and removes a portion of it here
and there and throws it into separate
piles or baskets. The number Of sorts
OF wool in fieeces varies greatly, rang.
ing from two or three to five or six
sorts from the same fleece. 1t has
been found that fleeces from pure bred
sheep do not, as a rule, have as many
sorts of wool in them as those taken
from grade and cross-bred sheep.
Fleeces uniform in quality and
length Of staple are most desirable for
manufacturing purposes. Consequent.
ly, if we wish to produce woods most
desirable for the manufacturer we
must not cross Unfortunately. We
can use for the foundation stock Of
flock grade or native ewes, and by sys.
tematic grading up with some definite
breed of sheep we can produce more
even grade of wool throughout the
fleece.

A wooden tub should be used for
washing cut glass, and the water in
which it is cleaned should not be too
warm for the hands A sudden change
of temperature is bad for glassware,
and it should never be left upon mar
BILE or stone. The deeper the cutting.
the more liable it is to be broken.
Decanters and water bottles which
have become discolored may be
cleansed with soft cloth guided by a
wire. Discoloring may be removed
by placing shot with bits of paper and
strong soap suds in the vessel and
shaking them well together. Beans are
sometimes used instead of shot. A
tablespoonful of muriatic acid to a
pint of water will remove obstinate
stains. For cleansing the outside.
cloths and towels and a brush are
necessary. The washing and rinsing
waters should not vary much in tenn
perature. A soft towel should be placed
under the dishes when draining. To
secure a high polish vigorously rub
glassware when it is warm, with per-
fectly clean towel. Glass which is
ornamented with gold should be
washed in suds made of CASTLE soap,
and should be wiped dry as soon as it
is washed. Finely cut glass should be
kept in a closed cabinet and not ham
died much.
