Poultry Keeping for Women.

From the American Rural Home.
The necessity FIR women to become self
srprortins, or TO assist in supporting herself
becomes more apparent each year. They
are forced to do whatever their education
and experience best fits them, anil for lack
of education and experience they are often
compelled to accept positions in which they
are'mere drudges.
The mother with the care of little one,
whom she cannot leave. takes in washing
because that appears to be the only thing
that she can DO, and at the same time attend
to the wants Of the family; and as soon d.
the children are old enough to run erands,
they are put ont to be somebody's slaves fal
II mere pittance. Undea such. conditions
they stand a poor chance to be anything
else than servants, for the necessity of con
startiy Ioing som thing to supply the actual
neaessaries of life, gives little chance for
them to fit themselves for anything but SER

counters, or working in some dirty basement,
given their very lives to add to the income
of some greedy tyrant.
Women have so long teen educated to
depe 'ence, aud a false idea of independence,
that they are too slow in asserting the right
to do whatever they can. And the idea of
waiting for some man to come along and
pick them mp and support them prevents
many from giving themselves the necessary
training which would fit them to command
good wages.
About the best paid occupation, consider
ing the number engaged in it, is teaching,
hut even this may become SO crowded that
many will have to look elsewhere. Then il
is one Of the most wearing occupations that
woman can engage in. Ifthere is any one
thing that will take the roses from the
check, and sap the very foundations of
vitality, it is teaching, Bat the bread and
butter must be had, and so they toll on until
death comes to their relief
