The Woman In Business.

What many girls, and women, too,
fall to realize Is that work-any work,
be 1t for the commercial and imper-
sonal world that pays for 1t with a
small weekly check, or for the dear
personal world which pays chiefly in
love-that any work is privilege No
matter how mOnOtonous it may seem,
il carries with 1t a responsibility
which should win a response not only
Of respect and interest, but of affec-
ton, and which should result in max
ing for the girl a larger and more ad-
mfrable personality OF course, a girl
may be overdriven, in which case she
can hardly be expected to love her
work. What she needs is to be taken
away from it and nursed back to
steadiness of nerves. But assuming
that girl has q normal working day,
lasting seven or eight hours (unfor-
tunately it is sometimes nine), she
has no excuse for not feeling an in,
terest in it, for not understanding that
she owes 1t an attention that has moth,
ing to do with the wage she draws for
it.-Woman's World.

STATE F0RGETS CHILD
HUMAN "CROP" OF THE COUNTRY
OF INESTlMABLE VALUE.
Aore Than Two Million Babies Are
Sorr Yearly and They Should
Be Protected by Govern
ment Bureau.

There are born every year in this
country more than two million chill
dren-boys and girls who viii con-
stttute the future citizenship of the
nation. The value of this crop as
compared with the cereal and meat
products of the country cannot be es-
tmated; but in view of its effect upon
the future destiny of the nation, it is
certainly entitled to as much consid-
Grafton, to say the least, as the wheat,
corn or cattle crop.
TO Illustrate this phase of the ques-
ton, suppose that the census report
for 1910 shows that the wheat crop of
Iowa has decreased % per cent in
production as compared with 1900, or
that the production of cattle IN Ne
braska has fallen off 80 per cent in
the same time. 1t would be the duty
OF the department of agriculture to
take cognizance of this fact, and ex
perts of the department would at once
De sent out to investigate and report
upon the causes of this decrease. and
II the causes could be ascertained and
a remedy suggested, bulletins would
be published and freely circulated
among the farmers and cattle raisers
OF the respective states which would
be or great value as guide in rails.
ing the next years crop. Now sup
pose that the census report shows that
in Iowa the rate of infant mortality
had increased 25 per cent. In 1910 as
compared with 1900, or that the pro-
portional increase in injuries to chill
dren IN factories or mines Of a GER
tain state was 80 per cent; there Is
no bureau under the federal govern
ment, and In fact under but few state
governments, whose duty 1t would be
TO investigate and report upon the
causes of those increases
Out Of these two million children
born every year, three hundred thou
sand under one year of age die an
nually, and one-hslf of these deaths
are preventable b the knowledge and
application of the proper remedies or
preventive measures. In other words,
1t may be said that one million Amer
lean born children are lost to the
country every ten years through a
lack OF proper information or course,
1t cannot be claimed that all these
children could be saved by the dis
semination of information by the fed
eral government, but a general diffu-
sion of sanitary knowledge and in
structions as to the proper care of
children would undoubtedly save the
lives of many children In years to
Come.-Forum.

Subsequent to Matching under in
cubator conditions the first sleep Of
the wee chick is of maximum impor-
lance. The incubator should be dark
ened and absolutely quiet should pre-
vail for at least 20 hours after the
chicks have pecked their way out of
the shell. Under natural conditions
the chicks remain under the old hens
wings until they feel strong and hun
cry enough to issue forth into the
great world. However, as soon as the
chicklets clamor vigorously for food
and attention their wants should be
supplied.
The initial food of these chicks
should consist of bread crumbs,
wholly free from molds and musts,
either in dry condition or moistened
with milk. This ration can be fed
at liberty without restricting the
amount.
AS soon as possible the deep litter
system of feeding should be installed.
It consists of coFering the floor Of
the brooder or colony houses to a
considerable depth with clean, bright
clover ehaff or chopped straw. Then
work into this a good lot of CONNER
cial chicken feed or home grown feeds
suffl Gent for two weeks In buying
commercial chicken feeds exercise
care IN order to select one free from
molds and musts, perfectly sanitary
and not adulterated with injurious
weed seeds or grit. Grit in bulk is
inexpensive and the manufacturer Is
often tempted to mix in large pro-
portion of grit with his higher-priced
commercial feed.
The preferable plan is for the farm
er to make his own chicken feed,
using two parts of f1neIy-cracked corn
to one part of cracked wheat wheat
screenings, pinhead oats or kaff1r
corn. A gallon of this ration well
mixed in the litter should suffice for
one to two weeks.
In addition, a soft mash fed twice
a day, preferably at noon and night, is
of great value in developing the
one part fine bran, one part of mid
dlings by weight comprise the solid
constituents of the mash. To begin
with, this mixture should be mois-
tened by adding one raw egg-use the
infertile eggs tested in incubator as
long as the supply lasts-untiI the
chicks are about week old, when
enough skimmilk or butter milk
should be added to the mash to make
it crumbly yet moist AS much of
this food can be supplied as the birds
will eat
When the time arrives for placing
the birds on the range, all the chicks
over one pound IN weight can be al
lowed to roam at will, unless the
crows are troublesome.
1t is essential to have constant
supply of pure fresh water before the
chicks. Place 1t on the range in clean,
sanitary receptacles, readily accesst-
Bile to all the fowl, and located in q
cool, shady spot.
Ordinarily on the range the chicks
easily obtain enough grit, but in the
case of sandy soils the result of prac-
teal experience proves that grit
should be furnished the flock in add
ton.

The curd On the draining cloth is
usually left to drain over night. Be.
fore leaving it for the night, 1t is well
to stir the curd once, as the portions
next to the cloth become quite dry
and delay the draining of the interior
OF the mass. Next morning the prod.

well for several days in a cool place,
and meets with ready sale at seven
to fifteen cents per pound. Pasteboard

obtained, make attractive and service
able containers.
Buttermilk cheese has a fine mild
buttermilk flavor and differs from cot.
tage cheese in that it needs no ad.
dlt1on of cream or sour milk to make
1t palatable and attractive to most
people. Some persons prefer it I'M
sailed, others with one per cent. OF
salt, or with one per cent. salt and
one-tenth per cent. of white pepper.
Buttermilk cheese is eaten like cot

bread. like butter When warmed
slightly, it can be easily mixed by
stirring, with one-fourth to one-halt

product of fine flavor, which may be
called sandwich-cheese" Buttermilk
cheese can probably be used to dilute
other materials, either for food or 9th

suitable for use in making cheese

been used heretofore.

If it Is desired to make "buttermilk
cheese" the dry granular product re-
sembling cottage cheese, the curd
must be heated longer and to a higher
temperature before it is put on the
cloth to drain. After standing ~
to two hours at IS degrees, the ma
terial Is heated, stirring gently to $50
or 40 degrees and left to settle for
one hour. The curd is now at the bot
tom, with clear whey above, and with
a little floating curd on the surface.
The final heating to 140 degrees for
an hour or more can be depended on
to kill any tuberculosis or typhoid
bacteria which might have been pres
ent IN unpasteurized cream. Heating
at $50 to 40 degrees drys the curd
somewhat and renders it granular in
appearance. The curd thus heated
settles in an hour, leaving the whey
clear, and when put in the cheese
cloth bag at 100 degrees, 1t drains
quite dry. Therefore, in making the
cheese" it is possible to get rid of
most of the whey either by tipping the
starter can and pouring out the clear
whey, or by use Of a siphon and the
floating strainer, where a vat or other
stationary .container is used. Any
floating curd is first taken off with a
dipper of hair-sieve, the clear whey is
poured or siphoned out and the mass
of curd in the bottom is transferred
to the draining cloth.
There is no danger Of spelling the
texture Or getting the buttermilk
cheese too dry to be palatable, as
often occurs with skimmilk cottage
cheese, when heated above 10 de-

and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecttng the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count

Eczema is a skin disease 1t is not re-

The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual

caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon

New Apples for Wisconsin.

Climatic conditions in Wisconsin
are such that the list of desirable win
ter varieties of apples Is quite restrict
ed and efforts have been made to add
to the varieties that may be found val.
liable for Wisconsin. The state ex.
pertinent station orchard contains two
varieties, Garfield and Hyde King,
that on this station have been found
to be very prolific, of high quality and
good keeping fruit. The Garfield orig
mated in Illinois and Prof. J. G. Moore
reports it as known to be growing
only at one other place in the state.
The Hyde King, when exhibited at
the state fair, has attracted much at
tention. The station is developing
stock OF these types for experimental
purposes. The station is unable to
supply trees, but as soon as stock is
available for further testing, it will
be placed under conditions that viii
permit Of dissemination
