Making Chees, from Buttermilk.


 Please advise B. c. B. in making cot tage cheese from buttermilk or sour milk always to use fresh sour milk--that is do not allow the milk to become old and sour.

 Anxious to Finish Musical Studies.
 Is there some music lover with suf- ficient benevolence and means possibly to become interested in 16 year old girl who is anxious to finish her musical edu- cation? She Is ready for college in both literature and music, having graduated in June from high school. She aspires to be music teacher and is giving les sons to three beginners. She Is eager to enter some college and specialize in mu- sic, but there is no possible opportunity to do so. as the price for tuition Is not available. Even after school begins she cannot keep her little pupils. for it is too far for the children to go to school from lessons. If she could only go to college until Christmas l believe she would be benefited and the experience would also be recommendation for her.

TOBACCO FARMS
 TO CUT ACREAGE
Large Grower Prophecies Re- duced Crop for Next Season
LAND VALUATION INCREASES
Causes Hardships to Producers-Tac- tics of Buyers Hostile to Interests of Growers-Ready Sale of
 Other Crops for Cash.

East Hartford rd-According to large tobacco grower in the eastern section of the town, there will be reduction of tobacco acreage in this section next season. There are several reasons ad- vaneed for this, The increase in the valuation of tobacco land is, he ar gues, a hardship for some of the grow CTS of the crop. The tactics of buy CTS in holding off and then attempt ing to buy al mere half shade above the cost of production, as he describes it, Is another reason. About eight or nine years ago, the situation was dis couraging for growers and number cut down their acreage. They found that they could produce other crops and obtain distributed sale and get In ready money at times in the sum- mer when the growers of tobacco were compelled ta go to their banks for funds. When conditions in the to- haceo market improved, the growers returned to the tobacco crops again.

DINING ROOM FOR POST OFFICE Scotland Woman Makes Offer
 to Government
TO SAVE VILLAGE FROM LOSS
Residents Proud of Miss Smith, Who Makes Offer of Her Services and Her Dining Room as Site to
 Federal Department.

WilHmantic.-Mis Mary Smith of Scotland may go down in the history of that town, as the woman who sav- ed Scotland from losing it's post office. She has written to the post office de- partment at Washington. D. C., asking that she be allowed to take the ex- animation for the position of post mistress. No doubt she will be al lowed to do so and in the event the post office department selects her for appointment, Miss Smith is not only willing to act but is willing to con vert the dining room in her home into an office for the accommodation of the re. .idents of Scotland. News of Miss Smiths action has caused pleasure in the village because when Postmas- ter Johnson informed the postal au- thorities that he did not want the post office in his store any longer. no one could be found who wished to take the examinations for postmaster. Mir. Johnson has been postmaster for many years. The post office inspector recom- mended to the post office department that the post office be abolished. Con- sidering the fact that Miss Smith, who is young woman, in comfortable financial circumstances, and that her only motive in making this move is to save Scotland from losing its post office. her self-sacriice in the matter brought forth highest tributes of com mendation on the part of the Scotland people. The women of the village are proud of Miss Smith and they do not hesitate to tell the men of the locality that 1t took a woman to save Scotland from being, as one woman said. wiped of the map"

Fail to Save Brown Home.

Essex.-When the ghost of Davy Brown was visitor at the home of Mrs. Charles Brown of the Buck Hill district of Essex during the latter part of January, it promised that it would return on February 10, and give a few more seances for the hundreds of people who travelled over the coun- try roads to hear pretty Edna Wood the l7-years-old medium, rap out an swers to their questions. It fell down dismally on its prophecy, possibly be- cause, as the Brown allege, Mrs. liar riet Hefflon of Old Saybrook took the spectre away with her when she visited the house on Friday evening January 22, and possibly because the girl medium has gone. the bed from which the supernatural demonstra. tions came is stored in Niles F.

 OF II 6. TO OPEN TRADE ROUTES

Washington Although the German Admlraay has issued 8 supplementary note repeating its warning that neu- tral vessels which are in the war zone proclaimed by Germany will run the same risks as if th0y puf ned course throah sea battles betWeen Great Britain and Germany, and shat Germany cannot assume responsibility for the risks which such neutral yes- sels bring upon themselves, reports here say Germany is endeavoring through every possible diplomatic ex' pedient to induce the United States to take a stand on the question Of sea warfare that will prevent the clos ing of commerce between America and Germany.
 1t Is said Count von Bernstorn has intimated to the State Department that all American vessels will be freed of the threat implied in the war zone" proclamation if the United States prevails upon Great Britain to liberate the cargo of the Wilhelmina and to declare foodstufrs to be non. contra band. Germany Is even willing to cancel the war zone" decree, fl IS stated. if England will permit unre- stricted transportation of food to Ger many.
 Germany holds, and has so informed the State Department that the inten' tion of England to starve Germany, as shown by the detention of the Wilhel nina, Is beyond all laws of warfare and civilization and amply iustities the retahatory steps planned by the German navy.
 Under the usual rules of war food If not intended for the actual com batants, is not contraband of war and Germany has assured the State De partment that the Wilheminas cargo was intended exclusively for the civil population of Germany and that the Germany Government was willing to furnish guarantees that it would not fall into the hands of the military forces Of the empire.
 Berlin reports say the German Gov ernment takes the view that the Am. erican note on the war zone is l friendly in tone. and il is annaunced | that the KaiseT's reply will be equally | friendly In tone. and t is announced material concessions wiIl be made.
