The feeling in favor of abolishing the execu-
tive session nonsense i'll the Senate seems to
be growing among the members of that body.
Advocates OF the change claim that they only
lack half dozen so of a majority. The
resolution for open sessions has been under dis
cussion for several days. Its friends hope to
gain enough in strength to carry il when il
comes TO G vote. There does not seem to be
any good reason for continuing this custom. 1t
would probably have been done away with long
ago if many of the Senators were not so firmly
welded to time-honored usages. They are like
Capt. Bassett, who would think the end of all
things was at hand if everything was not done
in precisely the same manner as it was SO years

FARMERS WIVES.
Harde .t-Worked

Internationally the Harde It Worked
Glass of Women in America.
With the increase of work on the
farm many farmers add one or two.
perhaps more men to their forces. 1t
is always well to have plenty OF help,
enough to keep the work we'll IN hand,
especially at a season when days
DELAY often causes serious losses. But
in engaging the farm help has there
been any thought taken in regard to
house help? 1t is hard to say it, but we
believe that in ninety-nine cases out OF
one hundred where help has been en-
gagged to assist in the outdoor work no
thought has been given to securing as
sstance for the indoor work, much less
has the assistance been secured. Spring
and summer bring their additional la
bors to the housekeeper, and if there
are boys in the family who in the less
busy season were of some little help
CASUALLY very little) they are now take n
to the field. Then the additional hired
men in the family add to the labors.
Whatever may be said of the labors
of farmers as compared with that OF
other classes, we believe it is true that
no class of wives in America is so hard
worked as the average farmer s wife.
Her day of labor begins with her hus-
bands and ends after he has gone to
bed. and for many of them to take a
..nooningn is thing unthought of.
And when we compare her labor, that
which men are apt to look on as trl-
fling. it is question if it does not ac-
tually require more muscular eNertlon
than does that of the farmer with his
teams and labor-saving machinery.
House-work has not been lessened by
machinery as has other work. lake
sewing for instance; while 1t
does the sewing much more rapidly it
has not made the work any easier. and
as fashions DEGREES have made the
seams longer and added tiounces and
furbelows to dresses the sewing,
if done at home, actually de-
mands more physical labor than
in former years. Then con-
slider for a moment the wash
ing, ironing, cooking, scrubbing, sweep
idg and making beds; it is all work
that calls for the outlay of about as
much muscular force as the average
work of the farmer if the most modern
machinery is used, and while the man
has to work, it may be, in the hot sun
he has the breezes of heaven to cool his
brow but the woman has to work in the
sweltering heat of a kitchen fire. Then
in addition to the Homework she usu-
ally has an infant in arms and two or
three other toddlers about her feet which
alone as mother and nurse should be
enough to take the most of her time
and care.
If our farmers wives could be pro-
noted from the position of domestic
and maid of-all-work to that of wife,
nurse and mother. there would be fewer
cheerless farmers homes, and fewer
country boys and girls anxious to leave
the farm. One of the first duties. then,
of the farmer is to see that his wife is as
well provided with help as he is him.

In conclusion will say by way of estimate
that the entire cotton and fruit crop of the

would say that 45 per cent of the farmers

that not less than IS per cent. find it neces-
Sary to seek assistance from commission
merchants or country merchants in the form
of supplies of some kind required to make
their crop.
The cost of this indebtedness, or the tax
upon agriculture resulting from it. Is found
in such a multitude of qualifications that it
is difficult to conceive of any respect in
which agriculture is not crippled by it. 1t
prevents the farmer from conducting his
profitable basis-cash. Unable to purchase
first class stock and improved labor saving
implements, he does his work in the most
costly manner Compelled to purchase on
time his supplies, ETC., he pays not less than
80 per cent more than the same goods would
cost for cash. His energies are crippled, his
independence destroyed. The cost of this in
debtedness to the agriculture of the State in
the form of diminished production and i'm
provement and increased wear of farms and
improvements is not less than 100000 an
nually.
