THE SUPPORTING VIEW.
Much has been1 said recently con-
cerning the seeming failure of Chris-
tian Science to heal some of its cases,
- Manv of thee cases were not treated
firChristian Science at all. but by what
is termed Divine Healing, Faith Cure,
TWO VIEWS fall THE SUBJECT OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
and so forth.'
It is obviously unfair that Christian
, Science should be made the synony
mous term jfor ail that is included in
the phrase! "without medical attend-
ance. 1
iihas been most carefully estimated
that 00 oer cent, of all who have turned
to Christian Science for help from their
many distresses have been those who
have failed to obtain relief from the va
rious medical systems. It is also esti
mated that: 70 per cent of this class
have been restored to health and happiness-
through Christian Science.

PROFITABLE OR UNPROFIT
f ABLE COWS.
1 ; By. W. R. Wood.
(Written for the Homestead.) ,
Very few farmers stop to ask them
selves the question. Are my cows re
turning tne a profit? Many are actual-
ly losing money on tnem every aay 01
their lives, yet so careless are they con-r
cerning , ! the matter that they , take no
pains to ascertain the facts in the case.
They simply go on year after year
redingj milking the cows and making
ie milk into butter with no idea of
iow mjuch if any money they are rc
ceiving for their trouo.e.
It is easy enough to ascertain wh.nt
a cow is doing. A pair of scil-.-s nJ
a Babcock test are within reach of the
poorest farmer of us Tail. To wigh
the milk of each animal once a we k
and make a test of it is not a -task that
requires much time, yet that alone will
determine with sufficient accuracy htr
utter making properties. r t.
Probably there are few herds where
one or two unprofitable animals will
not be found. It costs no more tx ieed
and care for a ''good cow ihan a por
one, so why waste grain and hay on one
ne that does hot pay for her keep?
Often it will be a surprise, to find what
was considered one of the poorest cows
in the herd showing the best test, an J
proportionately disappointing to find
the -favorite dropping behind some of
the others, but remember that if prop
erly manipulated the Babcock never
errs. It is a detective whkh is unhes
itatingly accurate in its decision! so do
not think your preconceived.- ideas
should have any weight if the test thows
differently. To the man with ten cows
th; Babcock machine is worth the pr.ee
of a cow, yes, and a good, one at that
No dairyman or "farmer should attempt
to do business without one.
As to the standard to set each cow
should make 250 pounds of butter a
year at the very least It takes all of
200 pounds to lurnisn ner w.in 100a :or
n.. . . .-. . .
a year, i ms leaves miy pounas oni
as a profit but sine'e .the manure, ;skira
milk. etc.. are worth something, we m-y
say that the 250 pound cow will, pay for
her keep aad give a small profit V :
Yet it one sets out with the determin
ation to bring up the average above
this mark he will not find it very dim-
cult to do it. Indeed the posibuities 01
intelligent care combined . with a iad
cow, have rare!y been realised.- It is
something not often attained. -r
Farmers, j dtirymen, this matter is
worthy your; careful consideration Do
not be foolish enough to keep on year
afier year in ;the haphazard way so com
monly practiced of feeding your cows
indiscriminately and pooling riieir milk,
making and ! selling the butter with no
idea of each animal's individual earn
ings. -Without doubt there are robber
cows in your herd and these are con
suming the profits which the others
give. Study on this question and find
out "where ;.vv .are at. . Ffcrret out

the unprotable animals .and dispose of
them, giving the rest a chance to show

(Dialy Statesman, Salem, March 14.)
Inasmuch as the climatic conditions
,of Oregon and Scotland are quite sim
ilar, the old Scotch ad3ge "A peck of
dust in March is worth a bushel of
gold dust," suggests, itself with peculiar
appropriateness at this season. In fact
the passing of a vehicle over sections
of Salem's streets yesterday was at
tended by a visible cloud of dust With
a contimation during the remainder of
the week of the weather that accom
panied Its introduction, dust will be in
evidence oh all of the hishways.
It is needless to remark in this con
nection that the farmers are making
the most of the present delightful
weather which is especially favorable
for agricultural work. The unreasonable
weather that has prevailed avmajcrity of
the time since last September, has great
ly retarded agricultural work in the

to fall erain but the incessant rain of
last fall prevented the seeding of the
usual acreage, hence a greater amount
of spring seeding will be done this sea
son. An I extjerienced person yester
day stated that the result of the condi
tions would be a reduced acerage over
that of last year. It is thought the
.fall-sown and sprirg-sown grain will
be about equally divided this season.
' Reports from all sections of the valley
arc to the effect-that grain was never
looking better than at the present time.
The severe frosts of February 1st did
not harm; the growing grain at all and
it has now attained a good healthy
.growth.
The shortage in the wheat acreage
may have some particular significance.
The instituting of several creamery
plants In the valley means that some
attention j will be diverted from wheat
raising and given to this industry which
promises Ito prove one of considerable
importance to the agricultural classes
of the. vallev.
WILL CASE HEARD
CONTEST OVKR THE WICH8ER-BOOTII
;! ESTATE IN COURT.
Arguments of the Respective Sides Before
Jodgre Boise Yesterday on Appeal
; from Cuant j Court.
(Dialy Sta;esman, Salem. Matfch 14.)
Judge k. P. Boise's department of the
state circuit, court for Marion' county
was in session all of yesterday, when
the appeal case in the matter of the last
will and testament of Vercna Wichser-B-ooth
came up for hearing on an ap
peal from the county court. The en
tire dy was taken up with the argu
ments, the case being bitterly contested
by the respective attorneys.
The action grew out of 4he estates of
the late Mrs. Verena Wichser-Booth,
and: that of John C- Booth, deceased.
.Mrs. Booth, in ifws. made a will, le
q uta ih ing 3II her property to her rela-i
tive. and the relatives of her deceased
nusoany. t-ater sne oecame- tne wne
01 John C. Booth, and a year or so af
ter, died. At that time no will was of
fered for probate, and John C. Booth,
die Only heir-at-law, was appointed ad
ministrator, and came into possession
of the property. Within less than one
rear he, too, died, intestate, and his
daughter. Miss Jeanette Booth, was
appointed administratrix of the estate
she being one .of four children and
heirs of the late John C Booth and
at once qualified and began administer
ing the estate. At this time the will of
Mrs. Verena Wkhser-Booth, deceased,
made before -her marriage to John C.
Booth, I deceased, was presented for
proboate. .Miss Booth, administratrix
of the. John C. Booth estate, by her
attorneys, appeared before the probate
court and argued against the admission
of the will, on the ground that the mar
riage of the testator, subsequent to the
date of her will, invalidated the will,
and that John C Booth, her husband,
who succeeded to the estate as the heir-at-law,;
came property into possession
of the property, s and on his demise, it
was properly tus, estate, and his child
ren and heirs-at-law, were his proper
heirs. !; The attorneys for the heir
named in the w;ll ot Mrs. Verena
Wichser-Booth, argued that the will
was of ful! force and effect, that under
the statute removing the disabilities of
a woman the will of a married woman,
made prior to her marriage, remained
in full force, until a subsequent will set
it aside, and that the heirs named in
the will should properly come into
possession of the estate. ' t 7 ; "
County Judge G. P. Terrell decided
in favor of the will, admitted it to pro
bate, and appointed F. A. Turner as
administrator with the will annexed, as
both executors named in the will were
unable to serve. From this decision
Miss Booth appealed to the circuit
court, and there the case was heard yes
terday The arguments were conclud
ed last evening and the cause submitted
to the; court. TiJmon Ford and W. T.
Slaters appeared as attorneys for the
will, and J. N-; Brown and Attorney
General D. R. N. Blackburn argned
the caise on behalf "of -Miss Booth. The

. H. L. Bents of Butteville, secretary
6f the association, yesterday said there
would be a reduced acreage in the hop
crop for 1000. f He based this predic
tion on the fact that the depressing
conditions 1 with which growers were
last year obliged to contend, would
naturally have a tendency, to reduce the
acreage. Mrj Bents also predicts a
smaller- yield from a same acreapc. this
vear, alleging that many growers will
occcme more i neRi'Kem in - mc ram
vaticm of' their? yards w-lwch will 'result
in an inferior cjuality of hops. ;
With the pfactical failure of last
year's yield anil the inability to realize
renumeratlve wages for the crop that
was produced J .'growers have becoiue
much disheartened. The state associa
tion will maintain its organization,
however, and icontinues to do every
thing in its pxiwer to promote the inter
ests of the grower, reHcve the a dverse
conditions with . which had; to
bat'e and make it possible for" him to
realize fair returns for his product.

yMI-QW TO BE GRACEFUL.
Tell a woman that sfhe 'doesn'tknow
how to ascend stair, gracefully';' that
she has not the slightest conception "of
the proper way in which to seat her
self, or that she is lacking in any way
in a knowledge of the little arts wih
which the gentlewoman is supposed to
xr conversant and it is ten to one'
she will be indignant, and declare you
don't know 'hat you are talking
about, or else! she will) raise her, - eye
brows in a supercilious sort or way
and vow never to speak to you again.
It is a fact nevertheless, that not
one : woman in fifty understands the
poetry of perR-ct pois, without winch
knowledge it h as. imppssible to accom
plish these thipgs correctly,; as it is for
the small boy j to keepiout of the plo-i
lasses jug when it is within easy reach
ing di-stance. j Books iof etiquette give
u no suggestions oti these subject.
In these one (finds many rules: "Don't
lap your visitor in the face when she
asks for ouf mother," Don't tamp
on a lady toes to call her attention,"
"Never ride ytur horse in the drawing
room when yu are making calls," and
many more sCK.h. all jtrue ami the best
possible advice, but scarcely useful, es
pecially in thd present instance.
When one fus thoroughly mastered
the art of grace one will find it easy to
do almost anything, from falling down
stair picturesquely f- to climbing a
stepladder with the ejae and beauty of
motion of theiangeUI in Jacob' dream.
When one hs learned to control the
joints and muscle of the body, a little
thing like a ttlmble fown stairs ought
not to catise jthe slightest discomfort;
on the contrary, it is. a very excellent
exercise in calji-sihenics. It :s only nec
essary to Jet ionefelff go, without the
least effort at jholdinlg back, to find a
tumble of a good Might of stair a re
ally refreshing undertaking..
tfowerer, as one must go up before
one can come-oowni, perhaps it would
be as well to learn how to go up stairs,
beautifully and without fatigue, before
attempting to descend in a tumultuous
fashion. Most women are frights when
ascending a lopff flighrof stairs, for the
reason that they bend the -body for
ward, throwing all the weight upon the
toes. The strain tftn come upon the
back and hip. whpch, Wsides making
an unlovely spectacle of a woman,, is
very fatiguing! and harmful. The cor

rect way to ascend a flight of stairs is
to throw the shoulders back to within
an inch of the ptrpetidicular. and, with
the client well 'raised. Ti rest tlie enliic
weight' on the" ball of the foot.
In walking the same princijiles hotdd
be applied as in stair climbing, ami' the
rcst'!r yjll le an easy, natural rhythm.
The arms should be carried at the sides
though they should swinfi only from
the flight tnovenunt of the shoulders
but never of themselves. These thing
are not easily mastered. Few thing
worth knowing are, and it require
practice! and 'constant watching of one
self to keep from failing back into the
habit first formed.
To sit in a way that is artistic and at
the same-time-) comfortable one should
sit a little forward of perpendicular.
Either in sitting or standing, if one
would have fine at.itudes without think
ing of; them, it is necessary to put the
feet in the correct position and relax
the mnscles. The force of gravity will
make one graceful. The technique of
limberness and softness of motion is
acquired only through a thorough un
derstanding of the mechanical laws
which govern the body. Then, and rot
until then, does one realize that the
use of unnecessary muscles, and joints
in either action or repose is always un
graceftil a.:d jn bad. form. .
One may ven cross one's limbs in
sitting and be q'Jite elegant and grace--ful
in doing :o. in (spite of the twaddle
given tp.s by our grandmothers. How
ever, one should. never cross the limbs
after sittiny down, but, if one foot 'be.
thrown behind' the other,, one will find,
on -sitting, that' the- lines are both
graceM and ladylike.
.-American women . are sadly given to
lounging, and in tliis matter of sitting
are notoriously at fault. It is no un
usual thing to see a girl with her knees
crossed and her hands clasped over
them, or sitting on a table or sprawl
ing in some undignified attitude, with
an all loo evident desire to appear
mannish. . She certainly succeeds, but
to what , purpose-5.e doesn't elicit the
admiration of the men in so doing, for
mannish women do not attract men.

Bowijng which 19 another branch of
this art of grace, is very interesting,
arid when done gracefully indicates a
d'licafe; refinement and often nobility
of person. A woman who hasi snent a

cmneriion: "Notice the awkward cour

by his bow than by his slmes. To mean
anything, a -coWtcsy should always be

fact. ich a thing i only allowable in
the dance, when simply a graceful fig

"If you would bow gracefully, - al

to finish the Ikiw before the p?rson to
whom it ir tendere! has fully passed,
and when raising the head after the
recognition it 'should assume another
