WOMEN CAN VoTE.-A lady who re- gently applied for registration in Phila- delphia, under the last amendment to the Constitution, was permitted to re- gister, and her tax papers were issued. She will be allowed to vote at the next election. The whole question of female suffrage appears to be easy of solution. Judge Underwood, United States Dis trict Judge for Virginia, has written a letter in which he says he feels very con- fdent the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the United States Con stitution, together with the Enforcement Act of May 31, 1871, have secured the right to vote to the female citizens of Virginia as fully as it is now exercised and enjoyed by male citizens.

EXERCISE. Lockport Journal contains the following practical sug- gestion: "Now that the croquet and base ball season will ere long be over, we would suggest, in order that the
 nuscle-developing process may not lie dormant during the long winter months, that the base ball athletics turn their attention to saving up the wood piles of widows and sick folks during the winter. The exercise is fully as healthful, is not so violent, dangerous, nor tiresome as base ball, and we are sure the results will gratify curious public fully as much, and we would pre- fer to give the sscore of 2 wood-sawing class to that of a base ball club in our columns. What say you, gents ? Phy- sicians recommend young ladies to form walking clubs. This is matter in which steps should be taken.

This state Of things grew to crisis at last

and it was announced soon after, to the acton

Flowing Lands When Wet.

The season now approaches when the
plow has to be in motion for the crop,
and we earnestly advise our readers,
better do nothing than pillow when land
will not crumble. The exception is
lime lands, for these may be plowed
when water will follow the pillow. We
believe less injury is done, if the plow-
ing be done early, when light freezes
follow; yet, better not risk freeze.
The farmer should not work depending
on luck-so-called; find other work to
do until it is dry enough, and when
dry enough, stop all other work for the
plow. We hold that no work should
be done in the earth with the spade,
hoe or pillow when the earth is wet. A
field, plowed when the earth is wet
enough to show smooth, slick, glossy
surface, will require good management
for years to restore the soil. And we
say more: Better wait till the heavy
winter rains are over, for the impacting
of water will make land closer than the
land not plowed. Let our experience
warn the young farmer or the thought
less old one. We know we are night,
and do not write from other say-so.-
Memphis Farmer.

As cotton is the money crop, we say,
at every open spell of weather, when
land is in good condition for the pillow,
put together the base for the cotton bed
by running two or three burrows. Some
of our best crops were made by turning
two burrows on the former water furrOw
not running center furrow. We do
not think our experience justities SUBJ
soil furrow under the plant; we might
run in the burrows outside of the two
first. BY thus making foundation, the
earth is made firm for the roots to
strike into, and many insects are des-
troyed in the egg.
Corn land is not benefited by being
plowed thus early, unless it had been
lying out, or in small grain, and then
the vegetation turned under has time
to rot. In the case that corn land is
comparatively clean, ID is better to
pillow as you plant; thus corn will be up
a. soon as grass and weeds, and the lat
ter destroyed before any size. We say
if land will not hold water on surface,
or in it, but will drain well-either
rolling, or such as will permit water to
pass thrOugh-the subsoil pillow will
pay Handsomely. We beg to be I'M
derstood, where land is level and clay,
the subsoil pillow is an evil-only CIV
ing more depth to hold water. If land
is well drained, the subsoil pillow is as
good as a fair manuring. Prepare
thorough when it is dOne.-.SoHhe'T

The following is one of Mr.. Prentice's
little waits, so many of which appeared

days:
"SOmetimes-it is a sweet, sweet
song, warbled to and fro among the
topmost boughs of the heart, filling the
whole air with such JOY and gladness
as the birds do when the summer morn
ing comes out of the darkness, and day
is born on the mountains. We have
all our possessions in the future which
we call sometimes Beautiful flowers
and singing birds are there, only our
hands seldom grasp the one, or our ears
hear the other. But, oh reader, be Of
good cheer. For all the good there is a
golden 'sometime;' when the hills and
valleys of time are all passed-when
the wear and fever, the disappointment
and the sorrow of life are Over-then
there is the place Of rest appointed Of
God. Oh! homestead! over whose roof
fall no shadows or even clouds, and
over whose threshold the voice of sOr-
row is never heard-built upon the eter-
nal hills, and standing with spires and
pinnacles of celestial beauty among the
palm trees of the city on high-thOse
who love God shall rest under thy
shadow, where there is no more sorrow
nor pain, nor the sound Of weeping

St. Louis Live Stock Market.

We are indebted to the St. Louis
Times, of the 18th, for the following:
Hostile receipt of hogs for the
past week has been 1904 head, with re-
ported sales of 300 head. The activity
of the market has only been dampened
by the light receipts, rs an inclination
has been daily exhibited on the part Of
packers to continue operations at the
present figures, which have varied but
little-$7. 3O@7.65 has been the ruling
range of prices. Some rough lots have
sold for S6.8O@7.15, and some extra lots
of choice for $7.75@7s, but these were
exceptional cases. The average weights
during the week have been 22O@2D
MS. The receipts are lessening day by
day and depreciating in quality. st.
Louis has packed up to February 18th,
for the season of 1901, 296, 1913 head
of hogs, while to the same date the pre-
vious season the packing at this point
was 233, O4S head. The average weight
this season has been about % lbs more
to the head than last, thus further in
creasing this seasons packing as COM
pared with last year.

Thorough experiments made at the
machine shops of the Illinois Central
road, at Chicago, appear to have estao-
lished the following facts as to the use
of petroleum for fuel:
/. Much greater power from the same
boiler capacity. The master OF the
shops stated that he could obtain more
steam from one boiler with petroleum
for fuel, than from two boilers fed Dy
coal.
2. Less labor is required in managing
machinery for the consumption OF Pc
troleum than under the old method OF
the use of coal.
8. Greater evenness in running, clean
illness in the surroundings OF the ma
chinery, and in the personal habits OF
the employees.
4. Petroleum rs fuel is saving OF fifty
per cent over the expense OF coal.
The application of the principle to
the locomotives of the road is under
consideration, and the difficulty will
be merely of mechanical detail. Fire
boxes, cinders and smoke will disap-
pear, and neatness within the cars will
be accompanied by less expense and
cheaper fare, let US hope, without.
