Almost every woman wore a tight

short white body or jacket, while the
children nearly all wore very bright
colors and many colors.
Miss Buie and I began our lan-
guage study today. We each have
a teacher engaged but one is sick so
we studied together today. We will
have to study with our teacher all
the time. I am sure you would have
laughed had you seen and heard us.

Wansan, Korea, Oct. 11, 1909.
Dear Home Folks:
This is now Monday night and I have
been in our home since Friday morn-
tag but have been very bu.y gettrng, "Vou'ld give
thmgs arranged and knowing that1
there would be no opportunity for
mail to leave here until October 14.
I think my letters and cards written
before we landed have told every-
thing of interest concerning my voy-
age, so I want to tell you first about
our landing and reception.
We had a most delightful trip up
from Fusan on the "Tatagami" ves-
sel and dropped anchor Friday
morning in the Wansan harbor at
about 7 a. m. Immediately, four of
our missionary friends of this station
who had come out in small boats to
meet us were on board our vessel to
greet us and transfer us to the sand
pans (small boats) and take us to
shore.
On stepping ashore we met all the
other missionaries of the station and
quite a few of the native christians
who had come to welcome us. After
seeing our baggage landed and
opened in the custom house for in-
spection, (this inspection in our case
amounted to only a peep into our
trunks and boxes), we were soon in
our home back up against a beauti-
ful mountain. The wide road lead-
ing up from the public way down in
front of our home is hedged with
pines, chestnuts and apples. We
have a box for a wash stand and a
larger one for a dressing table, but
we have our room looking very
pretty now. We have nice pleated
curtains and draperies around our
box furniture and then our scarfs on
them. We have three large windows
and have made our ruffled curtains
for them. We have matting on our
floor and our two pretty rugs down,
our pictures are on the walls and we
are fixed up real cozy. Our study
rooms we have fixed up nicely also.
Our home is on the same compound
and adjoining the girls industrial
school. This school dormitory is
built and furnished in Korean style,
no furniture and only thick matts for
beds and the floor is heated from
underneath. There are fifty-two
Korean girls in this little home, it
has five rooms in which they eat,
sleep, study and recite. Koreans and will do some English work in

WOMAN ASKS
ABOUT DAIRY
Dairy Editor Gets Busy and As
were Same Important Questions
About the Business
Mr. Editor:
j "I see in The Brand of last week
that you propose to give space to
the farmer's to discuss the dairy
topic, and furthermore that you pro-
pose to answer all sorts of questions
concerning this industry.
"You will favor your scribe and if
I am not mistaken many other of
the readers of The Braud by ans-
wering the following questions:
1. How many cows should a farm
start with at the beginning?
2. What breed of cows in -your
judgement would be the most profit-
able?
d. Is there sufficient demand for
the dairy pioduct to warrant the
farmer engaging in the business?"
A Widow.
•
The above questions are timely
and very suggestive, and the dairy
editor takes pleasure in answering
same as most all farmers and their
wives have had more or less exper-
ience in handling cows, but we will
not discuss this topic now.
Ten cows in my judgment would
be a sufficient number to begin with,
and even a less number m most
cases would be better. The reason
for this is based on the following
facts:
First, buying the herd. The cows
should be selected with these facts
before us Their ability to produce
milk and butter. No cow should be
allowed a place in a dairy that can-
not produce two and one-half gal-
lons of milk per day and one pound
of butter. A cow of this class wil'
pay the owner $10 00 per month for
butter alone, and if the milk is fed
to pigs, poultry and caives it would
yield a like amount, which would
make 20 per month Ten cows at
these figures would yield $200.00
per month, and we presume that the
farmer would raise his feed, and
that the cost of the feed bill will not
'•sreed $5 00 per month Which
would give rne tarmer $150.00 per
month fcr h.s trouble. But if the
milk is sold tne result would oe quiie
different, in favor of the latter.
As to tne nerd, i:;y of the dairy
!ypf*s would do, but i i this country
the Jersey would Or piclerible as
there are mor-- of tnem
And as t:j tne demand, it cannot
be«in to oe supplied. Tne grocers
wili contract for ail the butter that
can oe produced at Rood prices, JOc
and more And the people are
never supplied with enougn milk.
Farmers living as far out as 15
miles should find a butter dairy pro-
fitable.
The dairy editor asks a close
study of this topic.
