LOT OF THE SERBIAN WOMAN
To Her Falls the Hard Work Of the
Household While Her Husband
Guards Nations Freedom.


"A house is not based upon the
ground, but upon woman" is pop
ular proverb in Montenegro, echoed
heartily by others OF the Serbian race.
Among the Serbs women are burdened
from their marriage day with harder
work than the men because they have
to use the sickle as well as the spin
ming wheel. to tend the fiocks with
piece OF knitting or embroidery In
their hands, and to build haystacks
that will do them as much credit as
the earthenware crockery which is
made in summer for the use of the
whole household.
The Serbian cottage contains no pot
ter's wheel. and the rough clay has to
be pounded with an AK and worked in
to paste by mixing with hot water.
Dough is placed in these primitive
dishes. which are supplied with hooks
to draw them from the embers, where
the bread has been baked very slowly.
In Montenegro the curiously-shaped
shoes called opanke are always home
made, and. owing to the primitive na'
.ure of the mountain roads, often have
to be renewed. II is considered de-
grading for man to take up any
trade. The men lead a pastoral and
warlike existence, and disdain to carry
burdens on their backs, though they
treat the women of their household
with kindness and are never known to
use them cruelty. The defense of ma
tional freedom must be the main OBJ
ject of his hardy mountain race who
have come through a hard struggle
against the Turks without losing their
independence.
The women of Serbia take a second
airy part in all public rejoicing. such
as the Slava. The Slava Is a social
gathering as we'll as a religious festi.
val, and guests are welcomed by the
women of the house rising to greet
them. A Serbian wife must always
jump to her feet to return a greeting
even II she is seated at her spinning
wheel; she may never cross the road
when man is passing.
Serbian women have their Owl
merrynakings. known as Prela and
Sela, when they sit at work together
and while away the time by story tell
ing (Prela) and singing (Sela). The,
are witty by nature and have a rea
gift for expressing their feelings II
song.
A collection of lyrics, composed b!
Serbian peasant women, was published
not long ago. and astonished the crit
les of the western world by the reve
lation of new tone in national poetry
Most of the songs are sad and slow
but there are gay little tunes, i'm
provised when the Kolo is danced, me-
and women joining hands and formin
big circle.

This Animal FveEehths Buffalo and ThreeEshths Hereford

COW, according to the preponderance
of either species in its blood.
From these animals are produced
the true catalo, the animal that has
both species on both sides. When the
true catalo appears, 1t becomes type
which combines the characteristics OF
both lines OF ancestry and is quite
distinctive. II has heavier coat than
the domestic animal, carries larger
hump and bigger hind quarters than
the buffalo and-what is still more inn
portant-c carries approximately $50
pounds more OF edible meat than the
ordinary beef animal.
Knowing that the great secret OF
producing a larger quantity OF meat
lay in the hump OF the buffalo, the
first care of the breeders Of the cata-
10 was to transfer this hump to the
back of the new hybrid animal. In
stead of being huge lump Of fat. the
hump Of the catalo forms the apper
cut of a rib roast of beef. II is
tender, clear meat of excellent flavor,
scarcely distinguishable from that Of
the ordinary beef cattle. The great
value of the catalo as a meat animal
is that 20 per cent Of his weight can
be sent to the table.
AS the situation stands today, the
problem of the catalo is not one of
the mechanics OF breeding. That
has all been done and now 1t is sim
| ply matter of selection. The rule
has been established that IL an animal
| is one-eighth buffalo it can produce
fertile bulls. Therefore the best OF
the hybrids are all being used for
the purpose of propagating better ami
mails and the others are being used
for meat. Already carcasses have
been sent to the slaughter houses.
Time alone is necessary to estab
lish a race which will make produc
tive vast areas that are good for little
else. On these almost arid plains
grazing is too thin and water toe
scarce to allow the better grade oi
beef animals to exist. but the catalo
IL left to itself, will thrive and gain In
weight. The range animal of the past
has been responsible for tough, fibrou,
meat-too often diseased. The range
animal OF buffalo strain is hardy
enough to resist disease and will pro
duce clear-fibered meat that never geti
tough. Before many years it is like
ly, according to Mr.. Borthwick's view
that the problem OF our meat suppl,
will be solved by the blending Of thu
american bison blood with that of thu
beef animal that for century hal
formed the main food dependence o
the people OF this continent.

NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Woman Who Had Suffered for Many
Years Is Cured by Bolt Of
Lightning.

The medical faculty was put to
shame by a bolt of lightning which
the other night struck the farmhouse
OF Charles A. Burdick, on Washing

for many years.
Mrs. .Burdick was about to put wood
in the kitchen stove when the bolt
struck her, knocking her down and
rendering her unconscious. One OF
her feet was on zinc beneath the
stove The lightning took a nail out
of the sole of her shoe and her foot
was severely burned. Dr. Thomas

her.

The Spanish edition of the Pan
American Union Bulletin reviews Mr..
Borthwick's article on the "Catalo"
in the Forecast. The following Eng
lish version gives the salient fea-
lures:
1t seems that a new species of the
genus bos has been evolved in the
United States and Canada. AS is well
known, the American bison, or buffalo,
has become almost extinct, only few
small herds, nearly all to be found In
captivity in geological gardens, being
left to propagate the species. The
catalo, the name given the new spe-
cies, is a cross between the buffalo
and the domestic COW, and according
to an article by Mr.. Benton Borth-
wick in q recent number OF the Fore
cast published In Philadelphia, Pal,
much may be expected from 1t as Q
meat producer. He states that un-
like most hybrids, which proverbially
inherit the worst qualities belonging
to both parental strains, the catalo
seems to have selected and combined
In himself the most useful qualities OF
both buffalo and COW. He is SO hardy
that he can live on pastures that
would afford poor sustenance for even
q sheep, and his meat is equal to the
best beef, to which has been super
added the tender luscious hump that
made the wild buffalo so eagerly
sought by the huntsmen OF the plains.
1t was the extreme desirability Of
this hump, combined with the value
of his shaggy hide, that helped to
bring about the practical extinction
of the American buffalo. The Indians
appreciated both, but they lived in
peace and amity with the buffalo and
left enough of them to insure an In
exhaustible supply of meat and tepees
for future years. The white man
appreciation was equally keen, but,
like the Indian, the buffalo was In
his way. He wanted the plains for
his cattle to range over and he did
not approve of the cattle associatine
with the buffaloes. Therefore the buf
faloes were gradually exterminated.
Even in the early days there were
some far-seeing individuals who dimly
saw the possibilities Of an animal
which would be a blend OF buffalo and
COW, SO q number of breeders tried t
establish a species of cattle carrying
the buffalo strain, and the expert
ments began as far back as the first
invasion of the western plains by
white men. but they always failed
Even down to the present day there
are but two breeders who have sue

strain. one in Texas and the other II

The important fact remains, how

no males have ever been born from
