Women as Poultry Raisers.

Lafayette, Indiana, Journal.
The custom practiced in France of
allowing the wife so many francs a
month or year as pin money, to use
as she pleases, is one that should be
generally adopted, especially in the
United States. On the farm the care
ard profits OF some, il not all the
poultry, could be very properly trans
terred TO the woman of the house.
hold. The care of poultry is a BUSH
ness naturally adapted to women, as
1t requires patience and attention,
and, at the same tine, kindness and
gentIeness, traits too often lacking in
the sterner sex. There is no event in
connection with poultry raising, dur.
ing the whole year, which has not
its interest for those who care for the
innocent creatures of the farm yard
Whether it be feeding grateful BIZ
peds, gathering eggs, Matching the
chickens, or reducing the tiocks in

have their charm, and excite the in

attendants. There is much complaint
among Psychologists that American
ladies lose health and beauty earlier
than they ought tor want OF sufficient

occupation has, among its other bene-
hts. that OF sending them DAILY

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1882-08-26

The American of a recent date
printed thoughtful editorial on the
subject Unpopular education, in which
it took ground against the scheme
now being agitated in and out of con.
gress by the bloody shirt politicians in
favor of the education Of the negro by
the government. That paper says
this political agitation " is all wrong,
and the plain truth is there will al
ways be certain sort of distrust in
the air until the intelligence Of the
States north of the Ohio relegate the
subject of the negro 10 the southern
people and the negroes themselves,
and then call off the professional mis-
chief-makers who are trying to drag
this subject into undue prominence.
1t has been shown repeatedly by the
investigation of northern men that
this is no subject for party discussion,
and it has been ascertained to be a
fact that south is doing her duty by
this unfortunate race 10 the full ex.
tent af her present ability"
The American goes further, and
says, what we have long believed to
be true, that ".he south should, we
think, not only cautiously limit the
scope of common schools to the PLAIN
duty of disciplining the mind in its
early stages and laying the ground
work for fuller education thereaf-
ter if desired, but lend all available
energy to place these limits on the
common schools in the nor,h. The
duty of the state being fulfilled, the
young generation should be taught
the meaning of citizenship, and train
ed to accept their station In life with
contented minds, made strong at
school by simple training in the
lower grades. and 10 do this is her du.
ty in that station. This is just what
our system of education neglects, and

which now prevails. Reports from
every State tell pretty nearly the
same story: No rain other than local
showers, low water in rivers and
ponds, dry wells and springs, and uni
versal injury to corn, potatoes and
late summer and fall fruits. From
the st. Croix on the east to lake
Champlain on the west, and from the
Canada border to Long Island Sound
there has been no considerable rain
reported during the past four weeks,

hay crop, harvested before the dry
weather set in, is larger than usual,
