American Women as Pedestrians.
Magazine of Travel: The statement
is often made in this country, and still
more frequently in England, that
American women, while they are lead
ers in many spheres of activity, are
lacking- in the physical endurance of
their Knglish cousins. Especially are
ive told that they cannot walk, that
five miles is a day's journey, and that
an excursion of ten miles would pros
trate any one of them for a week. So
common are these assertions that
through frequent repetition they are
currently accepted as true. It is with
much pleasure, therefore, that I under
take the task of recounting the salient
features of a pedestrian trip made by
two American women, neither of whom
is unusually robust or has previously
had any special experience in walking.
In company with my friend, Dr.
"War by," and myself, they not only
were able to walk more than 1,000
-miles during the few weeks of a sum
mer vacation, but they gained very
decidedly in health and strength dur
ing the trip.

The Cures
By Hood's Sarsaparilla are wonderful,
but the explanation is simple. Hood's
Sarsaparilla purnes,
vitalizes and enriches
the blood, and dis
ease cannot resist its
powerful curative
powers. Read this:
"My girl had hip dis
ease when five years
old. She was con
fined to her bed and
for six or seven weeks
the doctor applied weichts to the af
fected limb. When she got un she
was unable to walk, had lost all her
strength and day by da' fcho became
thinner. I read of a cure of a similar
case by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and decided
to give it to Lillian. When she had
taken one bottle it had effected so much
good that I kept on giving it to her
until she had taken three bottles. Her
appetite was then excellent and she
was well and strong. She has not used
crutches for eight months and walks to
school every day. I cannot say too

How Sacceaafal Farmer Operate This
Department of the Farm A Few Hint
aa to the Care of Live Stock and
Foal try.
E recently noted a
gradual change
taking place on the
ranges, which was
liable to lead, in
time, to the pro
duction of a dif
ferent class of
cattle in portions
of the country, the
evidence of the
change being found
in the increased in
quiries for thor
oughbred and high grade females for
their rangers, the tendency to feed dur
ing the winter, to grow alfalfa,
and to provide grain for finish, says
Iowa Homestead. This change, how
ever, is not and of necessity can
not be made at a bound, and
there are still large areas of range
where it has not even commenced, and
where the rangers will probably remain
as they are for years to come. A cor
respondent writing from Ubet, Mon
tana, reports his observation In the sec
tion of country over which he has been
traveling as follows:
"As stock growers, butchers and
buyers wish to learn all they can at
RED CHERRY, AN
this season, as to the outlook for grass
fed beef this year, I would say that in
the section I have visited it has never
been better than it is now. The range
cattle on those ranges that have not
been overstocked and the grass eaten
out are in good condition. I have been
making a circuit of the country for
about a month, over the ranges east of
the Musselshell river between the Yel
lowstone and Missouri rivers in Eastern
Montana, and have traveled over a dis
tance of about 500 miles of cattle range.
I did not see above a dozen cattle that
had died from winter exposure, al
though we had a pretty hard winter in
Montana. I think that of all the cattle
I saw 50 per cent are fit for butchers'
stock, although they have never eaten
a pound of hay or grain. If we had
railroads at hand thousands of head
could be shipped out of here right now.
If the Burlington and Missouri River
railway will build into this country
next year it will be a great blessing to
the stock growers of this section. There
are vast stock ranges now going to
waste that would be utilized."
The reports that have been coming
from almost every section of country
indicate an unusual scarcity of beef cat
tle, and prices, both on the hoof and to
a still greater extent in the form of
dressed beef have responded to this un
doubted scarcity. Our Montana corres
pondent sees the other side of the
shield, and it is doubtless true that in
the section he describes cattle have
wintered well, are plenty and are in
good grass beef condition for the sea
son. This is an immense country, with
immense demands, and the general fact
of scarcity and of gradual encroach
ment upon the ranges of cattle grown
under conditions approximating those
of the farm are quite well assured facts,
notwithstanding local exceptions.
Imitation of Foreign fhrrse.
The New York Sun has been looking
into the manufacture of foreign chease
in New York state or rather the mak
ing of domestic cheese after foreign
methods and finds that so excellent is
the product that importations of for
eign cheese have greatly diminished,
many of the imitations being preferred
to the original brands.
Roquefort is the only French cheese
which has not as yet been successfully
imitated. Swiss cheese also has a flavor,
due to its pasturage, which is hard to
imitate. The principal fancy-cheese
factory is at Antwerp, Jefferson county.
It turns out over 200,000 fancy cheeses
yearly. The manager learned the va
rious methods abroad.
Fresh or soft cheese, like Neufchatel.
is made from sweet milk which stands
21 hours in four gallon cans immersed
in water, 60 deg., rennet of course being
added. The curd is placed in linen bags
and the whey drains off, assisted after
a time by pressure. Then the curd is
slightly salted, run through a cutting
machine, then through one which turns
it out in cylindrical form for packing
in tinfoil. These cylinders are packed
and shipped the same day, and will
keep lor a week.
Italian cream cheese is made in the
same way, from cream alone, except
that the curd is handled more carefully
and made into bricks. These need to
be kept on ice.
De Brie and D'Isigny, wnich are al
most identical, are made from curd,
which stands only four hours, the first
into cakes 14 inches in diameter and
about one inch in thickness, the second
7 inches in diameter. The cut curd is
dipped into tin rings standing on cane
mats through which the whey drains.
The corrugated appearance of a Brie
cheese is due to these mats. The curing
process takes two months in cellars of
even temperature where the air is fre
qnenUy changed. The cheeses are salt
ed on the outside and placed on shelves.
The mold which forms on the rind,
though esteemed by Europeans, is re
moved for the American market This
cheese can be kept for a month or more.
Camembert, the most esteemed of
French, cheeses, is made in the same
way, cream being added to the milk,
the cheese cured more slowly, turned"
oftener and salted less.
The German Schloss or Wiener is a
cross between Camembert and Lim
burger, having the flavor of the first
and the penetrating odor cf the second.
The curd is heated slightly, and made
into cakes 4 inches long by 2 in breadth
and thickness. The curing takes three
months, the cheeses being handled
three times a week.
Munster cheese is made by heating
the milk and rennet to 85 deg. It coag
ulates in half an hour, is cut and stirred
and heat increased to 110 deg. After
reaching a certain consistency it is run
into molds, hardening in half an hour.
Without pressing, the cheeses are put
in'cellar, salted for three days and
cured for three months the oil which

exudes being rubbed Into the rind by
hand twice a week.
The curd for Swiss cheese is treated
as for Munster, only it is stirred finer,
heated to 125 deg., pressed very hard,
kept six months, and turned and salted
every day.
Limburger is heated to 92 deg. in
winter, 98 deg. in summer, cut fine, run
into molds, and sweated and rubbed
like Munster for four months. There
were 5,000 of these blocks, 7 inches
square by 2. thick, in the cellar when
the Sun man entered.
Cotawold.
This is one of the largest of the Eng
lish breeds, and is the most popular of
the long wooled class in this country.
It is a very old breed, with its char
acteristics very firmly fixed. Improve
ment was effected by using the Leices
ter as a cross. This has slightly re
duced the size of the sheep, but If s
given greater aptitude to fatten,
smoothness, quality and appearance,
while retaining the hardy constitution
of the original breed. In America the
Cotswolds are in general favor as a
combined wool and mutton sheep.
Tfcey were first introduced here about
1840.
The Cotswolds produce a heavy fleece.
The ewes are good mothers, though
they are not generally so prolific, as
some other breeds. The flock will thrive
under ordinary mangement They
make a marked improvement when
bred to the common sheep of the coun
try, the first cross with a Cotswold ram
greatly increasing both fleece and size,
as well as improving the form of the
native stock. The breed is in great
demand by those who wish to combine
wool and mutton qualities in their
flocks. The face and legs of the Cots-

wolds are white or light gray; the
fleece is pure white, long and lustrous;
the head is strong and large, with no
horns, and with a forelock of long,
curling wool; the back is broad and
flat, with the wool naturally parted in

InNertiiiB Live Mock.
A new set of government inspection
rules went into effect May 1. By these
measures all animals arrhing at the
yards and upon inspection proving un
fit for human food will not be allowed
to pass over the scales. Twenty inspec
tors are stationed, one at each scale
house, and their work is passed upon
by veterinarians. Thus far inspection
has been mainly confined to infectious
or contagious diseases, but the new
rules go much further. Cows within a
month of calving, and for ten days
after, and sheep and hogs three weeks
before parturition and for ten days
after will be held for advanced preg
nancy, and will be subject to condem
nation during that time. All animals
having bad sores, abscesses or bad
bruises, serious enough to affect their
wholcsomcness for human food; chol
era pigs, scabby or emaciated sheep,
skinny, shelly cows and other stock
considered unfit for human food will be
thrown out and be liable to condemna
tion. Shippers should be guided by this ac
tion, and forward no unsound, badiy
bruised, emaciated or evidently or sup
posedly diseased stock to market, as the
same is bound to be thrown out by the
inspectors, and in all probability con
demned to the rendering tank.
A Cheap Chicken Coop.
The illustration in connection with
this article will give an idea of how
easily a cheap chicken cotip may be
made. The one shown is simply a drv
goods box, and the yard is made of I
lath. This gives both a nest and a run.
Th ond of the lath run might be made
of the board taken off the box. and this
would save making an end frame.
Many dry goods boxes are longer
than wide, and can be sawed in two in
the- middle, nailing the lath between
the sciKirated narls. This would cive
1 a inn in the middie and a nest at caoh
' end. Or, the long box may be sawed
in two and the lath from the front of
one nailed onto the rear end of the
other, thus giving two nests and runs
instead of cue.
When such a box is used on the
ground it would be well to raise it a
couple of inches, on a platform of
earth, so when hard rains come in the
night the coop will not be flooded, to
the injury of the chicks.
Studying the Cost of Milk.

making money, or whether part of the
time or with part of the cattle he is
I doing business at a loss.
I It is a great help to any man to know
what the cost of manufacture is of any
article he produces for sale, and every
manuraciurer wno conducts nis opera
tions in a business like way makes it a
profit to know the cost of a penny, if
possible, and there is not a producer to
whom this knowledge is of more im
parlance than the man who makes milk
to soil. A knowledge of this will enable
him either to improve his methods, if
he discovers, that he is losing money,
or to increase the business if he finds
that he is making money. A good many
dairymen have used tests to show them
v.bich were the best cows, and the re
sult was that they soon culled the herd
until it was a paying one; many more
would find a big profit in doing the
same thing. Those who make tests and
estimates are pretty sure to conclude
that good cows, well fed, arc the only
kind worth, while. Watching IKi cowb
BMMMiyr?T. , TJ ytfaBBsa?aw3yJ
and their feed soon leads to a study
into many details connected with low
cost of producing milk, such as the
proportion of food which goes into milk
with the different cows, the relative
power of "holding out" in the yield of
milk. Also the exact relative cost of
different grain feeds and their effect
upon the cattle, not forgetting the rel
ative manurial value, which few farm
ers now take into account The kind
of hay used is also a fine point in de
termining what milk shall cost Some
times it is best to sell coarse horse hay
and buy cheap hay, especially where a
silo is used. A study of all such so
called details is well worth the trouble,
and may cause the difference of a frac
tion of a cent per quart of milk, which
means in time a fat pockctbook in
place of a mortgage. Massachusetts

Avoid having the roosting perches
too high. Where such is the case, the
chickens often hurt themselves in fly
ing down. The best sort of perches
are round on the upper side and flat
under, and they should be of a size
fowls can grasp. Strange to say, in
none of the many farms I have visited
lately did I sec such perches as I des
cribe. With most other notions dis
covered through my own oDservation,
I have found that other people have
discovered them too, but not this,
which I found out simply through an
accident One day when making ready
to have my fowl house cleaned and
limed I broke one of the roosts, and
could only find a sapling which had
been faced or flattened on one side to
put in its place, so I had it fixed, the
round side up. Night after night I
noticed that the fowls ail made for this
C-J I '.-Wya
VWSK - &&
one perch till it was crammed. To
make sure that it was the shape of the
stick that they liked, I had another
perch removed and a rounded one put
in, and this, too, became sought, after.
I then put a short one across one corner
and after the third night, that too was
fought over so I came to the very
natural conclusion that rounded roosts
were preferred. Speaking of it after
wards to a naturalist, he made the fol
lowing remark: "The Almighty and
All-wise God docs not provide sawn
limbs to the forest trees for his birds
to roost on. The hen's feet are formed
for the purpose of grasping something
round and wide enough to support her
give it to her in the fowl house and
you will do right. It is a mistake to
improve upon nature." Nearly all the
roosts I saw were of sawn timber with
sharp edges. Let me suggest a change.
If you notice no birds that roost in the
trees ever have crooked breast bones,
or deformed chests, because they al
ways select a limb large enough to
grasp easily with their feet. Austral

Australia bids fair to become ere
long an important factor in the supply
of poultry and rabbits to the London
market, says a writer in London City
Press. The trade war, only entered
upon last season, but already it has de
veloped to an extciit that warrants the
anticipation that in the course of a
sIort while it will prove the mean1? of
enriching the colony by a largo sum
annually. So far the colonists ii.-.vo
every reason to be well satisfied wit"
the result of their experiment. Thus.
English rabbits last April fetched on
the average Sd. to 0d. each, whii'j those
from the colony realized something like
la. each. As anything above 7d. will
pay the colonist a good percentage, a
very good profit was realized, and a
large trade was done. Poultry did not
fetch quite such good prices, ?s whili
English fowls realized on an nerage
G3s. a dozen at the best time, the best
price that could l.o obtained for colon
ials was from 4Ss. to o Is. English
ducks, too. i-old readily at i!s. apiece,
whereas for the Australian birds it was
only possible to get between -5s. and -is.
Jd. This year there has been a fall in
the prices, due to the 0 er-carerncs-?
of the colonists in flooding the market.
The importation? arrive in excellent
condition a fact due to the care that is
taken in the colony. The government
of Victoria receives the birds and rab
bits from the farmers, and exercises a
careful supervision, so that only those
that will be a credit to the country arc
shipped. The poultry is plucked, but
the wild birds are packed with their
plumage, and the rabbits, which are
slung across a bar. so that they suffer
no injury in transit, are sent over just
as they are shot or snared, after being
disemboweled. The crates are packed
by the government for a small fc and
bear the official seal, which is a proof of
their genuineness, and quite dispels the
fear there was at the outset in the
minds of some people that only the rab
bits that are poisoned are sent over.
The goods are then shipped by the gov
ernment to the merchant or salesman in
London, who remits to the farmers the
sum due, after the cost of dock dues and
commission is deducted.
Oats and Peas for Sheep -What Is
the use of wasting time and land over
wheat to feed, when in place of the 30
bushels of this grain gathered from an
acre, under the best cultivation, 75 of
oats may be had on the same land with
the same good culture. And the oats
and the straw are easily worth twice as
much, quantity for quantity, as the
wheat will be. A still better way of
providing for the flock is to sow two
ami one-half bushels of oats and one
and one-half of peas the common Can
ada pea is the best to an acre, and
cut part green and let the other part
ripen. The yield will easily be four
tons of the very best feed, or the same
of the straw and one ton and a half of
the mixed grain, unexcelled for sheep in
the winter. American Sheepbreeder.
Diseases of Milk. Milk has been
found in the past to be liable to strange
so-called "diseases." For example, milk
has been found to develop strange col
ored patches, blue, yellow or green, and
ti have its whole color changed. It was
formerly supposed that these diseases,
along with such others as premature
curdling, assuming a bitter taste, be
coming stringy, slimy, or soapy in tex
ture, were largely to be traced to the
condition of food; it might be to the
soil, or to the pasture, or to the illness
of the animal. We now know, however,
that such milk diseases are really al
most entirely due to bacterial life, and
ought never to occur if proper cleanli
ness and care are exercised in the
dairy.

Grand theater a
few nights ago is
by no means con

reached her from Cincinnati, Chicago
and many other points, commending
her action. Mrs. Griffin had accompa

and after they had been seated the two
young men came in. Of what followed
she said to the writer: "When the cur

of them asked, 'May we get out?' and
I politely replied that he could not. He
insisted, and I decided that I would
show him that in America a woman
has some rights and privileges. He
called the police, and I confess that
excited me, and had the manager or

have refused to obey, as I had paid for
the seat."

the lower floor who witnessed the pecu
liar scene. The public and the press
have applauded Mrs. Griffin so strong
ly that Manager Wyser will discard the
pass check system, as the theater has
water and all modern conveniences
connected with each floor.
Mrs. Griffin Is a highly educated wo

Fort Wayne. She is a graduate of the
Valparaiso College and at the age of
20 was an instructor In the schools In
Allen and Porter counties. Indiana, and
In Bureau county, Illinois. In I8S0 she

Kstim.-tting the Valne of a Miraele.
On the authority of a member of the
medical profession, the British Medical
Journal states that a devout woman,
afflicted with an ulcerated stomach,
visited St. Winetrlde's well, and was
duly cured by the saint. She returned
home, boasting that she could "eat any
thing." including even "pigs' feet."
Whether she actually indulged In pigs'
feet does not appear. If properly
cooked, they are a harmless delicacy:
but, anyhow, the lady was suddenly
taken very III at tcatlme. The doctor
who was called in "diagnosed perfora
tion of the stomach," and the next day
the poor lady died. One of the first
lequlsitcs, I take It. In estimating the
value of .ill "cures." whether miracu

history of the cases. This Is supplied
with great effect in the above Instance.
But. perhaps, I shall be told that the
saint does not insure against pigs' feet
in cases of ulcerated stomach.
Senator Teller of Colorado.
Senator Teller, of Colorado, has late
ly attracted wide attention by his atti
tude on the silver question. Mr. Teller
is an earnest advocate of free coinage
of sliver as well as gold and would fix
the ratio at 16 ounces of the former to
one of the latter a ratio not in har
mony with the views of the majority
of his party. He has undertaken the
SENATOR TELLER, COLORADO,
rather unenviable task of bringing the
obstinate majority over to his way of
thinking and will head the silver forces
at the National convention next year.
He is financially interested in most of
the gold and silvr mines of his state.
Where Don It Go?
The final estimates of the mint bu
reau places the gold production of the
world in 1S94 at $170,000,000 and of the
United States at $13,000,000. This com
pares with a production for the world
In 1S33 of about $150,000,000. and with
an average yearly production for the
five years to 1890 of less than $110,000.
000. For the United States It compares
with a production of about $35,000,000
in 1S93 and about $33,000,000 for each
of the seven preceding years. The In
crease in the output is certainly note

Rev. J. C. Campbell, of Los Angeles,
Cal., In the course of a public prayer,
referred to Miss Kelso, the librarian of
the Public Library, in such terms as to
occasion a suit for slander. The de
fendant maintained that his statement
was privileged, because of Its utter
ance In the course of a prayer, but the
court held that "no prayer containing
a slander publicly uttered can be ex

that "no communication made by a
pastor to his congregation Is privileged
ecause of such relation."

Many Csea for IHnahrooms.
Not only human beings, but cows,
sheep, squirrels, and many kinds of
birds, are fond of mushrooms. In many
places mushrooms are dried just as our
grandmothers once dried apples, strung
on strings, and hung from the ceiling
for winter use. Some European spe
cies are used in coloring. One yields a
yellow dye, another an exquisite green
which colors the tree on which it
grows; and from this wood is manufac
tured the celebrated Tunbridge ware.
The poor people of Franconia. Germa
ny, dry, press, and stitch together a
certain kind of mushroom, which is
then made into garments; and in Bohe
mia a largo round toadstool is dried
and the inside removed; it is turned
bottom upward, fastened to the wall,
and used to hold a beautiful trailing
vine which grows luxuriantly.

Mean for Country Luncheon.
Veal loaf, pressed chicken or salad,
sandwiches and cake, make delicious
luncheon d:shes. and a substitute for
ices can be made by preparing thick,
sweet cream in this way: One pint of
cream, one-half cup of white sugar,
one teaspoonful of vanilla, one table
spoonful of gelatine dissolved in a little
milk: whip with Dover egg-beater until
it can be cut with a knife. The gela
tine prevents it from falling, so the
hostess can prepare it some hours be
fore her guests arrive. Genuine clover
honey is always a treat especially to
townspeople, and may be substituted
for the cream. It is more easily served
if placed on a fiat dish or platter and
passed with a knife and spoon so that
each guest may help himself. This ar
rangement obviates the necessity for
small dishes.

The Mountain Oont a Stupid Animal.
Although the mountain goatisavery
sure-footed and level-headed animal,
he is said by those who have hunted
him (of whom I confess I am not one)
to be a very stupid animal, and easily
killed wiien once the hunter reaches
his haunts. In actual weight he is
about the size of the Virginia deer, but
in bulk he seems to be larger because
of his shaggy fleece of wool and hair.

Uaea of the Lichen.
The lichen's most important function
seems to be to beautify the landscape,
though some tiny ones are used by
mother hummingbird to cover the out
side of her nest, in order to conceal it
as much as possible, in Iceland tho
lichen called Iceland moss is gathered
every year by ths boys and girls. It is
boiled in milk and eaten. Fanny Her"
gen. in her little book "Plant Life "
tells us that the Indians guided them
selves through the trackless forest by
observing on which sides of the trees
the lichens grew thickest, those being
the northern sides.
