DAIRY AND BEEF BREEDS OF CATTLE
RULES FOR MAKING GOOD TEA
A Brown Swiss Cow.
in response to a query as to where
(he different breeds of cattle, their
jiames and the countries they come
from, together with the. best dairy
uid beef strains, the Hoard's Dairy-
man makes the following reply:
There are five prominent breeds of
dairy cattle, in this country, the Jer-
sey, Guernsey, Holstein-Friesian, Ayr-
shire and Brown Swiss; and three
less prominent, the Dutch Belted,
Kerry and Dexter-Kerry.
The Jersey breed originated in the
Island of Jersey, the Guernseys in an-
other of the Channel islands, called
the Island of Guernsey. Holland is
the home of the Holstein-Frileians,
also the Dutch Belted. The Ayr-
shires originated in the county of
Ayr, in the southwestern part of
Scotland. Switzerland is the native
home of the Brown Swiss. There are
two types of Kerry cattle which orig-
inated in Ireland; the true "Kerry"
99d the Dexter-Kerry.
ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
The names of the beef breeds and
their nativp homes are as follows:
The Shorthorn, commonly called Dur-
ham, originated, in northeastern Eng-
land, in the counties of York, Dur-
ham and Northumberland; the Here-
ford, in the county of Hereford, in
the lower third of England; the Aber-
deen-Angus, In northeastern Scotland;
the Galloway, in southwestern Scot-
land; the Sussex, in South England;
the West Highland, in western part
of Scotland; the Red Polled and the
Devon, both in England.

HANDLE FOR CARRYING TILE
Little Tool, Made From Piece of Gas
Pipe, Will Be Found of Consid-
erable Convenience.
A correspondent for the Popular Me-
chanics reports a handy device for
carrying and laying sewer tile. In

Follow These and a Delightful and
Exhilarating Beverage Will
Be the Result.
A good cup of tea is something too
infrequently met with-when one con-
siders the prevalent use of tea as a
beverage. The fault often lies less
in the tea than in the manner of its
making. Here are some of the rules
which, if observed, will prove the
quality of the product:
Don't use water that bas been boil-
ed a long time in brewing tea.
Don't use water which has not yet
reached the boiling point.
Don't allow the tea to brew, for
more than five minutes.
Don't make tea. in a cold teapot..
Rinse with hot water before placing
the leaves in the pot.
Don't pour a second water over the
leaves when the first brew is exhaust-
ed.
Don't allow tea to grow damp in the
caddy.
Don't buy too cheap a quality of tea
and expcct good results.
Here is the Japanese method of
making a delightfully refreshing bev-
erage: Heat the earthen or china
teapot thoroughly With boiling water,
then empty out the water and put in
the tea, pour in freshly boiled water,
let it stand for five minutes and serve.
A teapot never touches the stove.
A tiny tea cozy of Japanese paper is
put oyer the teapot the moment the
water is poured on and a delicious cup
of tea is thus secured without having
extracted the injurious ingredient—
the tannin.
Always use a porcelain or earth-
ware teapot. Tea experts tell us that
the fragrant leaf should never touch,
metal.
ALL MADE FROM CORN FLOUR
Handle for Carrying Tile.
Is made from a piece of gas pipe bent
In the shape shown in tbe illustration.
The material required Is a piece of
gas pipe three-quarter Inch In diame-
ter and four and one-half feet long
Stick one end of the U-shaped pipe
in the bell end of the tile and take
hold of the outside part with the
h'and. A tile can be carried and
placed In line with this bandle very
quickly.
Cold Storage Eggs.
The Georgia pure food law requires
those who sell cold storage eggs to
label them as snch. Other states
should consider the advisability of
passing a similar law.
Sure Method Is to Quit the' One-Crop
System and Resort to Diversi-
fied Farming.
There Is one remedy and only one
remedy for low-priced cotton. We
must quit the one-crop system and re-
sort to diversified farming and stock-
raising. We must live at home, board
at the same pleaee, wear our old
clothes, use our old buggies, and live
in our old houses until we get out of
debt We will then be free American
citizens and in a position to secure an
equitable price for our cotton.
There Is no sane man who does not
know that we will get more money for
ten million bales than we will for fif-
teen million bales. The history of the
past 20 years is proof positive of this
statement We all know that large
crops of cotton mean a low price and
that a low price for cotton irieans pov-
erty and wretchedness all over the
south. This being true, why will
southern farmers and their wives and
children work in large cotton fields in
the heat and cold for about 300 days
in the year to grow a large crop of
cheap cotton to pay for high-priced
^sorn, bacon, lard, mules, and other
farm products with the profits of sev-
eral middlemen, railroads, and supply
merchants added? There is no sen-
sible reason. v
The too exclusive culture of cotton
has forced the price of cotton far be-
low an equitable one and established
the credit system. As long as south-
ern farmers raised their supplies at
home there was no overproduction of
cotton and no necessity for the credit
system. What hope is there for better
prices for cotton as long as the hus-
band, wife and children cultivate by
far the larger part of the farm in cot-
ton to pay for corn, mules, horses,
bacon, lard and other farm products
bought at princely profits added as
credit profits? There Is no hope.
The growing of every farm product
necessary for home use will curtail
the production of cotton, raise the
price to at least 15 cents per pound,
and in addition, will enable us to use
the money obtained for cotton to build
magnificent homes, churches, good
roads, educate our children, and fill
our banks to overflowing. The hold-
ing of a part of our cotton from the
market will be of only temporary ben-
efit. while the growing of feed, food,
and live stock will decrease the yield
of cotton, almost do away with the
necessity for the credit system and
enable us to bold our cotton until we
obtain equitable prices.
Returns for Good Management.
The raising of poultry on the farir
or in conjunction with fruit growing-
can be made very profitable with tht
same kind of management that ts de-
voted to raising good stock or gooc
grain.

It Is a great temptation to feed the

Expert Has Demonstrated the Possi-
bilities of This Material, So
Much Cheaper Than Wheat.
Mrs. S. T. Rorer, well known as a
cooking authority, gave a Berles of
practical illustrations with corn reci-
pes some time ago. To persons who'
think only of yellow and white mush,
Johnny cake, "pone" And Indian pud-
ding as possible from corn flour, It
may be a revelation to read merely a
list of the dishes which Mrs. Rorer
prepared. She made corn bread with
yeast, southern rice bread, Louisiana
corn bread, Adirondack corn bread,
Victoria corn gems, mush gems, hoe
cakes, corn dodgers, waffles, plain
boiled hominy, blanc mange, cream of
cornstarch pudding, strawberry
starch with meringue, Heaton pud-
ding, strawberry float, vanilla souf-
fles, hominy flourendlne, cornstarch
cakes, plunkets, pilau, chicken and
hominy, fried cream, mush croquettes,
cream pie and Boston brown bread.
"And in all these recipes," declared
Mrs. itorer, "I have not used one
ounce of wheat flour. Corn flour has
been" used every time."
P0T-C0VER CLOSET.
Closet for Holding Pot Covers.
The sides of the cover closet are cut
as shown in Fig. 1 and shelves are
nailed between them at a slight angle.
No dimensions are given, as the space
and the sizes of the covers are not
always the same. The back is covered
with thin boards placed vertically.
The front can be covered with a cur-
tain or a paneled door as shown.—

Popular Mechanics.
Cheese and Coffee.
Place on the table a plate of crisp
eheese wafers. With them serve a
tart jelly or thin preserve, such as
gooseberry or crab apple. The pre-
serve known aB bar le due is suitable
for this purpose, and the taste of the
cheese and wafers is greatly improved
in combination with the fruit.
Strong, fragrant coffee is served
with this simple desert.
Aniseed Cookies.
Rub to a cream one-half cupful of
butter and a cupful of powdered sugar
and when light stir in the well beaten
yolks of three eggs. Add the stif-
fened whites alternately with a pound
of flour, or enough to make a stiff
dough, and stir Into the flour a tea-
spoonful of aniseed. Roll thin and
cut into rounds and bake.

MALACHI REBUKES JUDAH.

Lord of hosts."—3:7.
2. "TJntOr-yottvlsr born* thftr- day in the
clty--of David s a. Savier, whiofr la Christ*
the Lora."—Luke 2.11.
TIME—Some time during the age of
Ezra and Nehemiah, bat It ts not certain
whether about 46S (Ezra) or 444 or 430.
PLACE—Jerusalem and vicinity.
CONTEMPORARY HISTORY — Aid-
blades at Athens. The Peloponnesian
war (431-404). The republic at Rome, gov-
erned by consuls and military tribunes.
'About this 'Itae SocK&tes %as teaching
the only approach to a pure morality
which Athens ever knew. Herodotus was
nearly through his travels (4S4-400). Plato,
the philosopher (430-350), was now a boy,
listening to Socrates. Xenophon (444-354)
leads the retreat of the ten thousand
back to Greece (400), which retreat he
has immortalized in his Anabasis.
There is no certainty as to the
definite time when Malachi uttered
his prophecies, because no data Is
given in the book, .aad ,th e sins which
he sought to reform, were present
throughout the whole period of Ezra
and Nehemiah, from 458 through the
rest of the century. Most place him
soon after Nehemiah's second coming
to Jerusalem, between 433 and 430.
He is plain spoken, and direct, with-
out high eloquence, or supreme poetic
power, but abounding in effective
similes, metaphors and Imagery which
hit the mark, and do the work. What.
a London paper says of a distin-
guished man's straightforward
speeches applies welLto the sermons
of Malachi: "A sound and healthy
gospel doubly welcome because the
world if waking to the consciousness
of intellectual and moral hunger
Which only these truths can satisfy.'"
If we read the later chapters of
Nehemiah and compare the sin's and
evils which Nehemiah labored to re-
form, with the sinB and evils which
Malachi denounces, it will be seen
that both are laboring for the same
ends, and realize the same necessity
of reform. God was dishonored, and
religion made a mere form and farce,
by offering mean things for sacrifices,
as polluted bread, and lame and sick
animals, by refusing to do the sim-
plest service in the temple without
pay, by refusing to pay tithes for the
support of the temple worship, by
being weary of serving the Lord, by
intermarrying with the heathen. Is
all these things they broke the di-
vine law; they showed that their
minds were all wrong.
One of the peculiar glories of the
Bible is that from the very beginning
its golden, age is in the future, not, as
in other ancient nations. In the past.
And as the golden age must have a
maker, God's revelation soon brings
into view the one, the Messiah who
alone can make the age of gold which
is the Kingdom., of Heaven. Isaiah
tells us . that "unto^us a child is born,
unto us a son is given; and the gov-
ernment shall be upon his shoulder;
and his name shall be called Wonder-
ful Counsellor, the mighty God, the
everlasting Father, the Prince of
Peace."
In the last book erf the Old Testa-
ment, about 400 years before Christ
•was born, the last fropfcet brings the
hope and ideal and goal in the person
of the Messiah, Christ, the Jesus who
was born on the true Christmas day.
Behold I, God, will send my messen-
ger, one coming in God's name, and
bearing a divine message, whose
work shall be to prepare the way be-
fore me, the coming of God himself.
This messenger, Interpreted by our
Lord himself on two occasions, was
one who should come in the spirit
and power of Elijah, doing the same
work, rebuking sin, denouncing all
-wrongs, calling men to repentance,
awakening the conscience.
It Is possible that these words had
a partial fulfilment in Nehemiah, a
foreshadowing on a smaller scale,
John the Baptist who completely- ful-
filled the prophecy. Nehemiah's re-
forms were a part of the preparation
for the coming of the Kingdom of
Heaven, and fixed the eyes of the
people on the great ideal toward
which they were slowly moving.
Supose we make two maps of the
world on the plan furnished by the
United States census to show the de-
gree in which ignorance, eertain dis-
eases, and many other things prevail,
by means of higher and darker
shades. On one map-we will note the
countries where- tb«i purest Christian-
ity prevails, by white. A darker shade
will mark the more imperfect forms,
and then let the shades grow darker
and darker through Mohammedanism,
and the various forms of heathenism
till we come to the blackness of the
lowest fetishism.
Then, with entire independence,
make a similar map of the moral and
Intellectual condition of men. Where
there is the most manhood, the no-
blest womanhood, the highest moral-
ity, the best social conditions, the
most done for tbe sick and suffering,
the most of all that elevates the peo-
ple, and brings the greatest happihess
—these put in white. Darken the
shades as these things grow less, till
We come to the blackness of the low-
est savagery. The two maps will al-
most coincide Wl«ere there is tbe
most Christianity there will be th*
uo t fhnr is pood tor lpan.
