2 The withdrawal OF 80 many men from agrt-
cultural and other pursuits by the war between
France and Prussia will not, 1t Is stated, pro-
doce as much material loss as might be sup
posed, since In both the countries mentioned
outdoor labor Is, to o great extent, performed
by females. In Prussia at the present time,
not only peasant women, but females OF the
middle classes are gathering in the haryests,
guarding the focks and doing field work. For
many wears women have been employed In
Prussia as station agents and signal officers on
the railroads; and, II necessity required, wo-
men, no doubt, could act as conductors on the
trains. The call for troops has brought out
only men under forty years, and it Is estima-
eed that fully million OF ,able-bodled Prus-
slams could be placed under arms In addition
to the seven hundred thousand now III the
field. Under these circumstances, 1t Is be-
lieved that there are men and women In Prus-
! sia In sufficient numbers to perform asricultu-
raj labor, SO that the population will rot suler
from want Of food.
