Woman Is Matchmaker.

Mrs. lula Warburg said recently In
an interview IA New York that she be-
lieves that she is the only woman
matchmaker in the country. Her
father was q Swiss, but had moved to
Norway, and there carried on his
trade, and the girl was all her life
interested in the work She married
and when her husband died she had
$500 only, but determination to keep
the children In school and to earn her
own living and theirs. The only thing
she knew anything about was watch
making, so she started out ringing the
door bells of houses and Offering to
put the clocks in order. The first
day she earned % cents, but she soon
built up a little trade, and then she
tried staying at home and having the
work sent to her. She says the work
is the best kind for women, and, as
she has made a success of it. can rec
ommend 1t.

A chef, discussing the evils OF cold
storage, said with a smile:
And yet the Chinese, who are great
gourmets. adore eggs three or four
years old, eggs that have turned quite
green.
Don't think they are ordinary bad
eggs, these green chaps, though. If
you've eaten Chinese food-geish y
main, yok amey, sea slugs, birds nest
soup-you'n know better than that.
The Chinese arr gourmets and their
ancient eggs are ripened like fine
cheese.
1T Is a science. The eggs, believe
spend nine months in a hot tempera
ture, buried in sawdust, another nine
months In a cool temperature, buried
In chalk, and so forth and so on.
They are green in the end, and they
have an unpleasant, putrid odor. But
Roquefort cheese Is green. and its odol
too, is putrid and unpleasant.

told me that green eggs of the 1905
vintage cost two to three dollars apiece

KINDNESS WITH DAIRY COWS
Milk stool and Pair Of Heavy Shoes
Responsible for Many Good AMI
mails Going Dry.

The COW that is constantly in fear
of a blow or harsh word will soon be-
gin to shrink in her milk flow. The
COW is a nervous animal easily excited
and fretted, and susceptible to harsh
or kind treatment, and it has been
proved more than once that both the
quantity and quality of the milk may
be Influenced by the kind of treatment
the COW receives.
Furnishing a dairy COW because she
made some little mistake never did
any good; instead the milk stool or a
pair of heavy shoes has been respon-
sible for drying up as many cows as
any other factor, says writer in the
Indiana Farmer. A COW does not hold
up her milk, nor kick just because she
wants to act contrary. The failure
on the part of the COW to give down
the usual quantity of milk at milking
time is because she has not secreted
1t. This is due to some abnormal
condition, or circumstance; she may
have ben frightened; she may be
tired she may have been beaten or
chased by dog and is nervously ex-
pecting a repetition. She may kick
because she has sore teats or Is afraid
Of the mixer Some COWS regard a
change of mixer with uneasiness. and
will not give down their milk to a
mixer hated or feared. There should
be a friendly feeling between the COW
and her mixer, and the mixer who is
gentle and takes time to pet the COW
a little will usually get all the milk
that the udder contains. On the other
hand. the mixer who is rough in his
movements is certain to lessen the
milk flow materially.

GOOD FEED STEER QUALITIES
Beast Which Can Quickly FIJI His
Stomach With Food Needs 70
Spend Less Time In Work.
~ R. 9. wEArHERsroNnl

(By r. c. WEAIHEtSTONlI)
The nose should be broad so that the
mouth may close upon a goodiy guam
tty of grass at each bite. and thus
save the time of the animals for even
in this work of eating. time is money
The beast which can quickly fiji his
stomach with food needs to spend less
time in working
Quickly filled the steer is most of his
time resting quietly. converting the
food into tender, juicy flesh
The head should be short and broad
tgiven ample breadth between the
eyes.
The horn, If any. should be fne and
short, and the eye should be full and
bright
The neck should be short and fine
A thick, clumsy neck may be good
enough for a hog but 1t is emphatical-
ly out of place on steer.
The briskets should come down
deep and full and there should be
great width between the fore legs to
give ample room to the lungs.
Back of the shoulders the body
should be full, the ribs springing well
out like the hoops of barrel and not
fiat like the frame of corn crib.
Let the back be broad, straight and
smooth with no sinking between the
shoulders and the rump.
The hips should be straight and the
tanks well filled, and come down low.
A steer with a belly drawn up like
that of a race horse should be avoided.
Such one will never be profitable,
for he has too little room in his work
shop in which to carry on the task
Of making fat and flesh of the food he
has taken off the land.
The hide should be soft, smooth and
velvety; If thick and covered with a
good coat of hair so much the better,
as less food will be required for merely
keeping up the animal heat In cold
weather.
The thigh should be full and the
hind legs straight; all the legs short
and the steer stand squarely on them
Add a broad loin and rump and a
fine tail and you have a steer which
will take on fat readily.

Early Plns Best.

I like to have my sows farrow in
March and April. II the weather is
good. the pigs can be turned into the
pasture during the day when they are
two weeks old, says a writer in an ex-
change. Two or three ears Of corn
daily and plenty Of skim milk will
make the sows give good flow of
milk and the pigs will grow rapidly.
Place some early corn and skim milk
where the pigs can get 1t through a
creep, and by the time they are four
weeks old they will eat and drink. II
you have plenty of skim milk to feed
you can wean the pigs at this age and
easily raise a fall litter.

ROOSEVELT GIVES LECTURE
AT BERKLEY ON RELATION
One To The OTHER.
Great Crowds Gathered at the Greek
Theatre, Sunday, to Hear Him Elk
pound his Ideas of the Great Book
Should Not Force Child to Read
the Bible AS Punishment.

Berkeley, Cal, March 27.-Delivering
the third of the Earl series of lectures
at the Greek theater of the University
of California here Sunday on the % Bible
and the Life of the People" Colonel
Roosevelt placed the Bible above all
other books in the English or any other
language for its influence on the people,
stated that it ought to be made as much
matter of study in the secular col
leges of the country as in the semin-
aries, and urged the study of it by all
persons as a guide to conduct.
The crowd that gathered to hear the
ex-president was the largest since his
arrival to deliver a series of five adj
dresses. The theater was filled long
before the hour set for the lecture, and
for two hours before he put in an ap-
pearance the people sang sacred and
patriotic hymns. Thousands who could
not gain admittance remained in the
vicinity of the theater to cheer Colonel
Roosevelt as he left, and he referred
to the incident as Zone of the most
remarkable he had ever Witnessed
In opening his address Colonel Roose-
vet said that the greatest debt the
English-speaking people owe is to the
Bible as we know it in our homes, and
that no person can afford to be without
knowledge of it.
The speaker said certain critics of
the Bible, who take sections of the Old
Tact op,ant ond accart fbav ORC not in
accordance with our own belief of NOR
atty, were ignorant of the fact that
our theories are based on the New Tes-
lament.
Cautions "Over-z Jealous Mothers
In urging regular reading of the
Bible, Mr.. Roosevelt said he wanted to
caution cover zelous" mothers
''Don' t make the mistake of forcing
the child to learn verses from the. Bible
as a punishment. Don't make them
look upon the Bible with feeling of
pain, but, rather induce them to con.
slider it with pleasure. My own prefer
ence is for reading the Bible to the
child. Put the meaning into words
they can understand, and you will fnd
that they will get the story readily
enough.
Colonel Roosevelt said he deplorec
the fact that some people regard read
ing of the Bible on Sunday as a sort
of fetish, disregarding its teachings the
remainder of the week. In this con
nection he referred to a class of mer
who, having fallen from grace, make
the appeal for leniency because of the
fact that they have been "pillars o.
the church.
"They are rotten pillars" said thu
former president, "and by such pies
they only write their condemnation il
larger letters"
Mr.. Roosevelt received a telegram to
day from Charles A. Ingram, speake
of the lower hour of the Wisconsin
legislature at Madison, inviting him tt

Tn this respect the fervent admirers of MT.
