An Ohio woman wants to know If

Modern travel has not become a mat
ter of speed and luxury alone. It has
been made possible for a woman to go
anywhere at any time, by rail and wa
ter, covering thousands of miles, with
out fear of insult. Her wants are quiet
ly attended to, the few directions need
ed are given her at the right time, and
she now travels as independently and as
comfortably as a man. The truth of
that statement is a tribute to the char
acter of men In the employ of transpor
tation companies. They may not pos
sess college degrees, but In the main,
they are high-minded gentlemen, who
seldom forget that they have wives and
daughters of their own. And year by
year the mental and moral standing of
these men is improving. Their positions
carry more dignity and responsibility
than they once JJd. A woman recently
visited Yellowstone Park alone. Once
that trip would have seemed an under
taking. Once other women and not
few men would have questioned her
sanity, if not ber morals, bad she an

gossiped, nobody stared. The neigh

that was all. v Listen to the traveler:
"The conductors and brakemen might
have leen my own brothers, so well did
they treat me. I was not given a dis
courteous word, I did not meet any
mashers, and everywhere I found the
real American gentleman, with bis bat

thing for my comfort. I saw dozens of
women traveling without escorts. My
opinion of men lias gone up 100 per

Is growing better. You can see the

of women who travel only clinches a
fact.

milk and butter a cow must have a
large, deep body and a large udder.
The cow illustrated shows the great
deep body and the splendid develop
ment of udder that characterize the big
milkers. A cow's body is a butter and
milk factory. You cannot expect to
make much butter and milk in a small
factory. The "wedge-shaped" cow has
a deep body where depth is needed
where the machinery of the body is at
work converting fodder into dairy prod
ucts. Notice the fullness In the fore part
of the udder and how well It runs up
behind, with the large, well-placed
tents and Its general appearance of
large capacity. Such an udder, when
.milked out dry. will fall in loose, soft
folds, like an empty bag. It is a good
type to breed to.
Plowing Under Green Crops.
While we advocate plowing under
green crops, when they are not worth
more for stock food than for manure,
we believe that there are some soils
where this practh-e may do injury
rather than good. If the soil Is light
and sandy, lacking nitrogen, or when
it is stiff ami needs to be made more
porous, then almost any green crop Is
a good manure for it Where It is low
arid wet, and perliaps has too much
acid In it a heavy crop of clover or
other green manure will usually be an
Injury to the succeeding crop, unlts
it Is given also a dressing of lime in
some form, and we would prefer to
pay more for a good phosphate of lime
or fine ground phosphatic rock, with
an addition or potash, than to use
either slaked lime or sulphate of lime.
Yet In a limestone soil we have seen
green manuring work wonders, and so
It will on land recently cleared, where
the bushes and brush Irad been burned
n the ground. Phosphates, potash and
wood asli may be put on to grow
the green crop, and If used liberally
will benefit that and the succeeding
crops. Sowed on the surface and har
rowed In tbey do not waste or do any
harm If the amount Is much more than
one crop needs. American Cultivator.
How to Bet Hen.
Here's a good way to set a hen. Th
nest Is made In a roomy boi, with a
cover. Nailed to one side of the box
Is a little slat yard, slats on top also,
In which water and food are kept con
stantly. Tbe hen can go out into the
yard at any time, eat and drink, and
has no temptation to wander away and
let her eggs get cold. Where several
bens sre sitting, a contrivance like this
for each saves all bother of looking
ifter them, to see that two do not get

Yields of Cheese From Milk.
With ordinary milk the yield Is about
2.5 pounds of cured cheese for each
pound of butter fat In the milk. The
per cent of butter fat in different
milks very nearly determines their rel
ative values for rheesemaklng. Pro
fessor Van Slyke found by a series of
experiments that with milk rang
ing rrom j.i per cent to 4.4 per
cent the amount to each pound of but
ter fat was 2.72 pounds of green cheese,
or 2.5 pounds of cured, five weeks. It
was found that 5 per cent milk made
but 2.4 pounds of cured cheese for
each pound of butter fat but the better
quality of the cheese from the richer
milk was thought to compensate for
the slight difference in quantity. It
will be seen that a hundred pounds of
4 per cent milk made ten pounds of
cheese and a hundred pounds of 5 per
cent milk made twelve pounds of
cheese.
