vicinity have had the most severe rain
storm IN years. Roads and fields are COW
cred with water. ThreshinE has practi-
cally only commenced and farmers are

An astonishing case of mistaken
identity has just been discovered by
the police of Bologna. Three years
ago man named Mancini was sem
fenced to four years Imprisonment
After few months incarceration he
succeeded in escaping. and was not
heard of until several months later.
An individual calling himself Miotti
was then caught, and was declared by
the police and the prison authorities
Mott protested that he was not the
man they wanted. but his description
tailed so exactly with that of Man.
cini that he was not believed and was
put back in prison.
Within the last few days, however,
another man has been arrested at Ma
pies, who appears to be the real Man
rini. The resemblance Of the two mon
is really most remarkable, extending,
as it does, to deformty in ona hand
which both men have in common.
The most curious part OF the story
is that Motif. having been so frequent
~ assured that he was Manv!ni, at last
came to believe it. and there is now a
conflict between the authorities. the
witnesses and the friends of the Origi-
nal criminal as to which man really is
Mancini and which is not.-London

Buttermik cheese is made by +. j..
Humphrey from the buttermilk OBJ
tanned ut Massachusetts creamery.
The huttermilk is run into a vat sur
rounded by water jacket. into which
steam is turned for cooking. The but
termilk is cooked in the same way as
skim milk is for making Dutch or cot
tage cheese. After cooking sufficiently.
the whey is drawn off. and the curd
dipped out into three-cornered cheese
cloth bags, which are allowed to drain
for few minutes. then the neck Is
tied and the bag placed in press.
The press consists of two heavy oak
planks, hinged together at one side,
and fastened at the other with bolts
and thumb screws, by which the pres
sure is applied,
After being pressed few hours. the
cheeses are taken out, rubbed with
salt at the rate of about one-half ounce
per pound, and are then ready for
market. The cheese has a pleasant.
slightly acid taste, and somewhat re-
scmhles cottage cheese After the
final pressing the cheeses are about
one-half inch thick and heart shaped.
This cheese IS used almost exclusively
by Jews, for which trade it is espe-
cially made. 1t Is only during the
winter that buttermilll is turned into
cheese. for in warm weather the
cheese will keep only about four days,
which is too short n time to make Its
manufacture profitable.

Historic Sanctuary Is
Cathedral of Denmark

The great cathedral Of Denmark Is
situated about eighteen miles west OF
Copenhagen in the little town OF Ros'
kilde, where in former days was n
royal residence. Roskilde is on the
main railway line running across Zea-
land 10 Kursour, the little port on the
Great Belt from whence the boats
sail for Kiel and Nyborg. II is a very
quiet little town of 5000 inhabitants,
the picturesque houses looking very
humble beneath tle towering mass of
the cathedral standing on the edge of
the hill which drops precipitously
down to the ford at It's foot. Ii seems
strange to see so grand pile built
entirely of red brick, but the cathedral
OF Roskilde is of this material within
ard without,
The original building, erected by
King Harald Blaatand in the tenth
century, was of wood. This was fol.
lowed In the next century by build
Ing consisting OF nave and two
aisles, constructed Of limestone. The
present building Is believed to have
been commenced in 1910, when Peter
Suneson was bishop Of Roskllde.
All the Danish royal family are laid
to rest in Roskilde; the word buried
is scarcely applicable, for the royal
remains merely stand in great coflius
in the various chapels on the north
and south sides of the cathedral.

To keep poultry successfully requires
rs much knowledge as amy other live
stock industry, yet for the money i'll
vested it yields the largest profits.
From my experience, which is that of
the average farmer, ! conclude that
plenty Of grain fed in litter, with fresh
water before them all the time, Will
make hens pay. AS most farmers are
situated it is not possible to feed much
meat. yet what there is should not be
wasted.
AS to feed, corn is the most impor-
tant, the cheapest and yields the larg-
cst returns. Oats comes next. Wheat
is too costly, except for chicks. Clover
hay should form an important part OF
tie winters feed. as It's bulk tends to
ncutralize the solidity of grain. Potn-
toes. bccts and cabbage are easily
grown and form cheap winter feed.
rure.brCd fowls should be raised. as
they pay better than mongrels. The
poultry business will never be over.
