Mr.. Samuel Jones, Eldora, Iowa,
describes his method of raising Gu
cumbers by the barrel rs follows
Take salt barrel, knock both ends
out, set in a convenient place and
fill nearly full Of well rotten manure.
Form thee hills for the vines, one
on the east, one on the west
and the other ON the south side OF
the barrel. Have but three plants
in "A Hill, then place brush to keep
the vines up from the ground. Keep
the barrel well watered, and if
those three hills don't furnish
enough pickles for a large family,
think me false prophet" The
same method is employed just as
successfully in growing melons. We
have tried it with the best success.
Water should be poured into the
barrel daily. Half-rotted manure
serves admirably for filling the
barrel.

Higher Education of Women

We need higher culture for those
women who do not enter the profes-
sions. Our system of educating
the girls, as rule, is very radically
false. There are notable excep-
tions, but the rule is the following,
that the object sought to be gained
is accomplishments rather than
solid knowledge. Women are taught
to play the piano and to use the
French language. They get smat-
tering of many subjects, an intel
lectual grip on hardly any. Even
knowledge is given them as an &C
complishment-that is, not for its
own sake, but to make them appear
pleasing. To be blunt, women are ed
ucated so they may please men. The
fault is less with the teachers than
with the parents, who create the de-
mand and obtain the supply in our
fashionable schools. All this ought
not to be. Our education of girls
should be more practical, more sol
idly useful than it is.
Every woman, whether she needs
To enter profession or not, should
be so trained that she can enter one,
or at least perform some useful ser
vice for which society will remuner-
ate her. Every girl shold know
that she can support herself if she
desires TO do so. If this were the
case, women would have great
er independence and freedom in
choosing their husbands than they
now have, and the knowledge |
that there is an alternative open !
to them would cause them to |
enter married life on a footing OF
greater equality than is now accord |
ell to them. There would then be |
fewer of those unhappy marriages
into which young women allow
themselves to be hurried for fear of
falling burden upon their father or
their brothers; fewer of those cases

to the value of the meal those spe-
cial elements belonging exclusively
to the stems. To put his newly
conceived theory to the test, Mr.
Atkinson wrote, asking an exami-
nation of the subject and an opin-
ion from Major j. F. Jones, of Ho-
evansville, Ga, a progressive farmer,
who has for many years been exten-
sively engaged in raising stock and
grain as well as cotton. In reply
Major Jones quite corroborated
Mr.. Atkinson's claims. Should
this new use for cotton prove as
useful as Mr.. Atkinson and Major
Jones say, it will not only open the
way for the establishment of an i'm
portant industry at the south, and
prove to cotton growers a new
source OF wealth, but will greatly
facilitate the raising of stock boil

The Trna VITA.

Oftentimes l have seen a tall
ship glide by against the tide as il
drawn by some invisible bow-line,
with hundred strong arms pulling
it. Her sails were untitled, her
streamers were dropping, she had
neither side wheel nor stern wheel
still she moved on stately, in Sc
rene triumph, as with her own life.
But 1 knew that on the other side
of the ship, hidden beneath the
great bulk that swan so majestic
ally, there was a little toilsome
steam tug, with heart of fire and
arms of iron, that was Juggling it
bravely on, and / knew if the little
steam tug untwined her arms and
left the ship,it would wallow and roll
about and drift hither and thrither.
and go off with the rehuent, no
man knows whittier. And so have
known more than one genius, high
decked, full freighted, idle-sailed,
gay-pennOned, but that for the
bare, toiling arms and brave warm
beating heart of the faithful little
wife that nestles close to him so
that no wind or wave could part
them, would have gone down the
stream and would have been heard
of no MORE Oliver Wendell
Holmes.

Value Of Alfalfa or Clover.

The Californians could hardly
carry on farming without their al
falfa crops. 1t is indeed valuable
crop for forage or for hay, as al
Europeans familiar with it can
testify to. The Rural Press, of San
Francisco, says:
Perhaps one of the most valuable
and easily-raised crops that can be
planted is alfalfa. 1t will yied, on
irrigated lands, from three to five
crops per annum, and will produce
more than n ton Of hay at each cut
ting, and at least two crops can be
gathered the first year of planting.
In Kern county, where alfalfa grow
ing has been given much attention,
an acre of land, properly located
and planted to alfalfa, is valued at
800, and this valuation is too low,
when we consider the profit that
can be made out of an acre of this
nutritious forage plant. AT the
present time alfalfa hay is selling at
$50 per ton here, and it is very
seldom, in fact it never sells as low
as 50 per ton in winter. Take a
yield of four tons per acre-the pro
duct of an acre of land for one year,
at the present prices, would be $50,
and at the lower figure, $50 per acre.
At either figure, therefore, it will he
seen that alfalfa is profitable crop.
The time is not far distant when
the majority of the meat used IN
the markets of this state will be
Stalled, and for this purpose no
iced can be raised that will equal
alfalfa. The farmer who plants a
field Of alfalfa will find that he has
made a profitable investment, and
one that will always yield him a
revenue"

Sheep.

1t is said that foot-rot and other
diseases to which sheep are subject
occur much less often among locks
which are pastured on rather rough
ground, and particularly where they
have to climb hills to get their graz
ing. In Scotland, the great sheep
country of Europe, the sheep are al
ways found in greatest numbers
among the mountain ranges. The
famous SOuthdowns also have a
rough country to pasture on, upon
the steep, rugged chalk hills of the
south of England. All over this
state there are immense tracts OF
land of this character where sheep
would thrive, and cannot be used
for any other purpose to so good a
profit. Why do not more enterprs-
ing parties go into the business?--

Corn Apainst Cotten.


Land that is rich enough to make
bale of cotton to the acre will pro-
duce thirty-five bushels of corn and
half that amount of clay peas, OIL
fifty bushels of corn and peas
These will usually bring about 81 a
bushel. If man plants and cult
Yates all the corn and peas he can
save, and another on the same kind
of land plants and cultivates all the
cotton he can make and save, which
crop will bring in the most clear
money after all expenses in sending
to market are paid?
The peas, pea hay, and enrlching
the land by the pea crop, will GER
tainly give these a decided advant-
age over cotton.
There are plenty of farmers in the
west who do not make more than
fiftyibushels of corn to the acre; and
sell corn at 25 cents a bushel, equal
to $3.50 an acre. A good farmer
on most any land in the south,
properly fertilized with peavines
and other home fertilizers, should
make twenty to twenty-five bushels
of corn to the acre, and a pea crop
besides, the whole worth $50 to $40
an acre. Why then, will not the
corn crop in the south pay? Be
sides, made corn sold to non
producers in the south prevents so
much money from leaving the
country, while western corn takes
money from the south to returns no
more; then the corn in the west that
is made into whisky which is sent

LADIES' COLUMN.
ralk with rirsd Housswives.

The amount oflabor performed
by the majority Of farmers wives
at the present day is appalling.
Sometimes we sigh for the good old
times of the past. To be sure our
grandmother worked; but they
knew little or nothing of the hun
dreds of perplexing cares that wear
out the life of the young wife and
mother of the present. Hurry and
worry kill more than work. The
plain, stout, home-spun suits our
grandparents were clothed in were
very different from the fimsy,
tucked, ruffied and embroidered
suits that the little ones to-day are
arrayed in.
There comes before my mind as
/ write the care-Worn faces of many
disheartened housekeepers. Day
after day passes, but still there is
plenty of work on hand that ought
to be done; in fact, it always seems
to be increasing. The house must
be kept perfectly clean, for dirt in
the house is a sin (?). The chill
dren must be kept looking Gas well
as other peoples" The husband is
too poor to hire help in the house,
and ten chances to one the poor
wife has to bear burdens that
rightfully belong to him to bear.
He does not mean to be unkind,
but he does not know the pain she
suffers in silence, and he cannot
realize the weakness which makes
her work a burden. And so the
years glide on, until mind and body
can bear up under the fearful strain
no longer. Then the toil-worn
hands are folded, the throbbing,
burning brain becomes calm and
cool, and the sufferer is laid to rest
rest at last.
All unnecessary work is wrong
1t is as much your duty to rest
when you feel the need Of it as it is
to work when you do not. There
is a great deal of work done which
never ought to be; it may seem nee
essary, but experience will teach
you, if you will allow it to, that il
is not. Constantly dwelling upoI
the one subject Of house, the minC
becomes morbidly sensitive, anC

since the days of his babyhood.
Vivian had said that he was about
to. marry Ethelberta O'Rourke, a

only as a fashionable belle, and of
whose better qualities he had never
heard, and in a moment of anger he
had told the boy that If his deter
mination was persisted in, dis
inheritance should follow. 1t was
this threat that had caused Vivian
to utter the words with which this
story begins.
"Yes l mean it, replied the father.
