Count Leopold BerchtOld, quiet
man, with English manners, sitting at
a desk in the foreign Office in Vienna
such is the unimpoSing presence of
the Austro-Hungarian statesman who
precipitated a situation more serious
to Europe than any that has arisen
since the events that Immediately pre-
ceded the Franco-Prussian war. And
the most extraordinary feature of the
crisis is that it should have arisen di-
rectly out of the assassination, by a
Servian, of Francis Ferdinand, the
archduke who in his life time was re
garded as the frebrand of Europe.
Thus the archduke, after death, as he
was in life, remains the great men
acing factor in the affairs=of European
Christendom-
Count Berchtold assumed the port
folio of foreign affairs at Vienna upon
the retirement of Count Won Aehren-

nexatfon of Herzegovina, which
set in motion the wild passions that

Austrian heir to the throne

When he took Office as the director
of the foreign office, Berchtold found a
situation full of portent- Servia. in
censed by Austria's absorption of ter
ritories which formerly had belonged
to Turkey and to which Servia consid-
cred itself the heir, because they are
populated largely by a people of Serb
race, was clamoring for the undoing
of that which had been accomplished
by the decree of annextion- Behind
the clamor at Belgrade could be heard
the sinister undertone of the growl of
the Russian bear.
Berchtold set himself to work to re-
duce relations to a normal basis Be

England, France, Russia, Bel
gium and Servia are now pitted
against Germany and Austria in
the great European. struggle, and
at least two more nations are ex-
pected to enter the conflict within
a short time.
Belgium had to enter the lists
because Germany violated her neu-
trality. 1t is believed Sweden and
Switzerland also will have to de-
fend themselves against invaders
Russia may try to overrun Swed-
en-. The Kaisers armies already
threaten the Alpine republic.
England actively entered the
great struggle when she formally
declared war on Germany at 7 p.

twenty-four hour ultimatum that
German troops leave Belgian ter
ritory at once. The Kaiser ignor-
ed the ultimaturn.
a great naval battle between the
German and English and Russian
fleets in the North sea is reported
from points on the Swedish and the
Scottish coasts. Details are lacking.
The admiralty has ordered all the
physicians of Aberdeen, Scotland, to

Ito attend the naval wounded"
Seven hundred and fifty thousand
British troops, fully modified, await
orders to go to the continent. When
they leave England depends on the
outcome of naval battle between
the British and German fleets.
Experts declare there will be no
important land fight within ten days.
Such clashes as occur in the mean
time will be merely blinds behind
which opposing armies will move to
positions for what, it is predicted
will be the greatest and deadliest
match at arms in the worlds history,
About 20 per cent of England's 750,

the greater com bination will be vic

CAREFUL COOKING.

Ounces. to be good. need long and
careful cooking. When they are care
fully cooked no fruit Of winter can
surpass them in delicacy of flavor
Baked ounces can be prepared in
two wcys. They can be slowly baked
until they are tender, in a covered
dish In the oven, or they can be boiled
until they are partly done and then
baked. To bake them in the lrst way,
wash and core them. and Gil the core
cavities with granulated sugar. Ar
range them in a buttered baking dish
and pour water around them. Cover
them closely and let them cook slowly
for about'a an hour.
When they are almost done remove
the cover and cook little more rap
idly. Then remove the ounces and
reduce the strip in which they were
cooked by boiling II rapidly for a few
moments, pour it over them and chill
them. Serve with a tablespoonful Of
whipped cream on the top of each.
To cook them in the second way.
peel them and parboii. Put them in
baking dish and pour the water in
which they were cooked, made into
strip with the addition of sugar,
around them. Bake them, covered,
for an hour. or until they are tender,
remove them; reduce the strip and
pour it over them and serve cold.
An easily made ounce pudding is
this: Choose half a dozen fine large
ounces, and boil them until they are
soft. Then peel, core and mash them
and add the yolks of four eggs, beat
en- with a pint of cream. Sweeten to
taste and season with ground ginger
and cinnamon. Bake in a moderate
oven for three-quarters of an hour
and serve with cold custard sauce.
There are several ways of making
ounce tarts. One way is to combine
the ounces with apples in this man

MACHINE FOR MIXING FEEDS
Effective Device Invented by Canadian
In Form of Semi-Cylindrical Cas-
Uncover is Removable.

An effective feed mixer has been de.
vised by Robert H. Driscoll of Ayl-
mer, Quebec, Canada. The inventor
provides a hopper in the form of a
semi-cylindrical casing having a re-
movable cover and an outlet through
the bottom opposite the open top and
closed by a sliding door. A shaft is
journaled in the ends OF the easing,
which may be driven By a crank or
belt Through this shaft are fastened
rods pointed at the ends. These rods
form stirrers to catch the ingredients

ADVANTAGE OF THE ANGoRAS
Goat Is Much Harder Than Sheep, Not
SO Liable to Disease and Eats
Greater Variety Of Feed.

In the mountainous regions of Ash
attic Turkey is the ancient city of An
CORA, celebrated for the long-haired
goats bred in that vicinity. Here An
goras, the most valuable of all breeds
of goats, reaches its perfection. The
| fineness of its hair and the remark
able fact that many other animals In
that region possess long, silky hair has
been ascribed by some authorities to
some popularity in the atmosphere,
the altitude OF soil.
At the present time there are in the
United States between 100000 and
100000 angoras of pure blood or high
strain, and yet the domestic product
of mohair does not equal the home
demand by large amount. Many dol
lars worth of mohair is imported an
nually into the United States. and still
in Texas alone there is sufficient noun
tain land to raise not only all the mo-
hair now imported, but enough to ex-
port several million dollars worth an
nually, says Farm and Ranch.
There are four profits to the Angora

izer and the land they free from brush
and weeds. There is a wide difference
between the shearing weight and the
shearing value of goats. Some will
shear as much as Is pounds of mohair
per year, but the average for the
United States is about two and one
| half pounds. Some mohair brings as
much as $3.50 per pound, but the av-
erage is about 80 cents per pound Mo
hair ranging from IL inches to 20
inches in length brings from SO to
$3.50 per pound and is used to make
dolls hair and wigs.
Mohair under IL inches in length
is sold according to fineness and lus-
ter, and ranges from 35 to SIS cents per
pound. The average shearing value
of the American Angora is about 81
per head, but there is more money In
an Angora shearing 81 per head than
in sheep shearing $3.50 per head, be-
cause the goat is longer lived, is much
harder, is not liable to disease; the
goat eats greater variety of feed, will
come to the sheds at night, and has
4 many advantages over the sheep.
