COLLEGE GIRLS AS TYPIsTs.

Ruth Cranston believes that stem
ography is one Of the most promising
fields for girls from the regular col
leges. This is an unusual suggestion,
as business colleges in all the cities
turn out girl stenographers by the
scores. Miss Cranston, however,
says there is room at the top for
young women with more knowledge
than simply how to run typewriter.
"There are employers willing to pay
liberal salaries to stenographers who
do not require constant prompting, :"
says Miss Cranston. "The average
girl in an Office does just what she is
told and nothing more. These are
the girls who receive a few dollars
a week, and, as a rule, they are not
worth a cent more than they get.
The college girl has the equipment
to fill an important position, and
there is always the possibility that
she may become private secre-
tary." Miss Cranston also believes
there is an opportunity for girls
with small capital In opening tea
rooms. She says that women shop
pers are inclining more and more
to drop into such places in the after
noon, and investigation has convinced
her there is large profit in the tea
room business. New York Press.

The Department of Agriculture has
received a report of some tests at the
Mississippi experiment station with
dairy cows. Experiments lasting six
teen and ten weeks, respectively,
were undertaken to see if it paid to
feed cottonseed meal when cows had
an abundance of green feed. In the
former test the cottonseed meal gave
Ave per cent, better returns, but this
was not enough to pay for the extra
cost Of meal. In the second test there
was no increase in the yield fof milk.
Using COWS pastured at night but
kept up during the day, cottonseed
meal was fed at the barn in COM
parison with the soiling crops, alfal-
ia, sorghum and Johnson grass In
ten weeks test it was found that
forty-one pounds of green feed gave
an average daily yield Of 14.9 pounds
Of milk for each cow, while the lot
fed 3.4 pounds of cottonseed meal
gave 14.2 pounds. The difference in
favor of green feed would have been
greater if the cows had had no access
to pasture. In comparison of large,
medium and small rations with three
lots of cows, receiving respectively
thirteen pounds, ten pounds and six
pounds of grain ration consisting
of wheat bran and cottonseed meal
FL, the average weekly Yields were
333. S73 and 74S pounds. In the
last case there was also some loss of
body weight. A second test with
three lots of nine cows each showed
that nine pounds of the mixture
yielded better results than eleven
pounds.
In a test of four months with thir-
ty COWS it was found that silage re-
suited in a saving of 500 over a
feed of wheat bran, cottonseed meal
and johnson hay grass.
During hot weather it was found
to be Of no advantage to protect COWS
from the heat by keeping them in the
barn, as they were more contented in
a shady pasture.
Another experiment showed that
with s149 COWS, the average cost of
feed per COW per month was $4.1O
in the dry feed herds and $3.50 in the
silage fed herds. the average cost Of
one gallon of milk being fifteen and
nine cents respectively, and a CORE
spending cost of one pound of butter
fat of twentvAninn and twanfv cnnts
respectively.

WORRIES ANp BLESSINGS.

The League Of Village Mothers
met at our home last week and our
meeting was interesting. Two mem
bers had been appointed leaders for
the afternoon. One opened the lit
erary exercise on the subject Of Wor-
ries. A neighbours house had just
burned to the ground and the young
wife had lost three hundred cans Of
fruit. A man with wagon had
made the rounds and we all gave Of
our store of canned goods to lessen
her loss. This reduced one woman's
worries. The leader had distributed
slips among the members and here
are some of the questions:
"Can 1 make a list Of my worries?"
"How can l attack each worry and
overcome it?' What good does 1t
do me or others to worry?" What
worries me nost. actual Or fancied

Each woman was allowed but five
minutes for responses; so we con-
dense. Itswas surprising how much
enthusiasm was created by these
common questions. II was food for
reflection for all the women.

League of Village Mothers was one

She opened her remarks with quo

lationp blessings. The lopg-nosed
member said the greatest OF all was
pure air and good water. All agreed
that we often pass by these common
est of blessings.
The thoughtful woman said: GA

A poor member said; Enough to
eat and. wear and a good roof for
shelter"
The blacksmith's wife said:
Schools and churches and a friendly
neighborhood."
The ditcher's wife said: Living
on high land away from swamps and
malaria"
Each answer brought out discus
sion and as hostess listened and
learned. The pleasant afternoon
came to q close, for November days
are short. For refreshments we
served doughnuts and coffee In a

TO PRESERVE A COOK BOOK

TO PRESERVE A COOK BOOK.
Every housekeper knows how her
cook books suffer If they must be
taken to the kitchen. Some women
write off favorite recipes rather than
give a valuable cook book to care
less servants.
When this is out of the question
or too much trouble, try the plan Of
having a sheet of transparent ISM
glass cut little larger than the book
when opened. The corners can be-
weighted by gluing on heavy nat
button to each corner. These help
to keep the book open at the desired
place. Insist upon having the sheet
placed over the open pages while the
recipe is being used.
A pane of glass can be used in the
same way, but there is danger of
cutting the fingers unless the edges
are bound with heavy paper or a
piece of colored muslin. New York

Fourteen broken engagements led
to the arrest of a young woman in
Leipsic the other day. A detective
became suspicious when he saw her
looking in the window Of pawn
brokers' shop with fourteen diamond
rings OH her fingers. He took her
despite fearful protests to a police
station, and there she told she had
a ring from each of fourteen Tilted
f1ances. The story sounded so i'm
probable that the police held the girl
until they made an investigation.
They rounded all the hapless wooers,
and when each one had told the same
story, of buying an engagement ring
only to be cast aside, the young wom-
an was released. New York Press.

the great air current coming from
some unknown quarter. The mine is
300 feet in depth and the current is
so strong that pieces OF paper are
waited from the bottom t. the top.
So far scientists have been unable to
account for the unusual condition,
giving as their belief the theory that
the shat must be sunk somewhere
near some ancient cave and the air
finds a passage through the lime for

A Moral

A duck which stuck faithfully to
business during the summer and laid
several dozens Of large fawn-colored
eggs complained that she wasn't APP
preclated. "See that hen over there"
said the duck; "she hasn't laid as
many eggs as have, nor as big, but
she has books written about her and
verses composed in her honor, while
nobody is saying word about me. "
The trouble with you is" said
the wise old rooster that was stand
ing near, "that you don't tell the
public what you have done. You
lay an egg and waddle off without
saying a word, but that sister OF
mine never lays one without letting
everyone in the neighborhood know
about it. If you want to cut any ice
in this community you must learn to
advertise Exchange.
