LEvEEs.

II any man has a doubt as TO the
good that results TO people in the low
lands from well constructed and ef-
fective systems OF levees, he has only
to make inquiry concerning the levee
system OF Louisiana, which was begun
soon after New Orleans was laid out,
in the first years OF the eighteenth
century. From the small beginnings
of a levee TO p'otect the embryo
capital Of the territory, levees have
been extended in Louisiana wherever
protection against overflow was need
ed, and they we're needed in all direc-
tons. But they were always well and
carefully constructed, according to the
plans OF skillful engineers, and from
the first we're systema lied upon a
practical basis. They were necess ny
TO shut out the water and make agri.
culture a certain and not an un.
certain pursuit, dependent upon
the caprice OF the elements and
early or late floods; and they
have been continued ever since under
the direction and inspection OF acom-
petent Board of Engineers and their
utility and necessity have never been
questioned. SO 1t will ultimately be
in Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri,
Kentucky and Tennessee. When
revetment and mattress work,.has been
put down wherever needed to prevent
the abrasion and washing away OF the
banks OF the river, the levees will be
made secure and thoroughly safe
against all overflow and the full force
OF the current will be utilized to scour
the bottom and deepen the bed of the
river,

MOMAN At u nan.

The Supreme Court Of New York
recently decided that Miss Kate Stone
man wa not entitled to admission to
the bar Of that State on the ground
that the right to practice law was linn
tied 10 men by the express words OF
the statute. So soon as this decision
was made known the General Assem-.
bly,, by an overwhelming majority,
passed a bill removing woman's dis
abilities in the courts, the few SPEECH
es that were made pending its passage
breathing the most liberal views as to
woman's equal right with man to
make her living by any profession,
trade or calling that she might adapt
herself to. This is a great gain
on the old-time narrow, contrac'-
ed views that expressed, in hat
and many other legislative bod
les, limited woman's sphere to
the kitchen and the nursery. The
world is moving, but II is destined TO
move faster where woman is con-
ccrped. Her right to enter all the pro
fessions, trades and callings open to
men, including the courts and the pull.
pit, once established, her right to vote
cannot long be withheld. This must
como in time as the ultimate of all the
reforms in woman's behalf. Thus
truth and righteousness will prevail,

At this season Of the year, when prices are
usually low, many are prone to look upon the
dark side Of poultry keeping, but as such Tie
preston is caused by a desire to reduce stock,
a point is reached late in the year at which
shipments become less frequent, and prices
for poultry and eggs rise until the hens begin
to lay a~bundantly in the spring.
Before reducing stock, select all tho hens
that have moulted or show signs Of mouitlng,
as they will complete the process II begin
to lay before cold weather comes on. Though
the rule may not be infallible, yet the hen or
pullet that begins to lay on the approach ot
winter will generally make a good winter
layer, while the one that does not commence
before cold weather usually pOstpones opera
tons until spring. The hens Intended for
market, therefore, should be those that have
not moulted, Us moulting requires about three
months
Another point Is that a moultinS hen Is
usually fat. This is because she stores in her
system the fat of the food, while the mineral
and heterogeneous elements go TO the forma-
ton Of feathers Hence, a hen may he very
much debilitated by the shedding Of new
feathers, and yet be very fat. The best food
for a moulting hen is oatmeal, with meat
and milk, whenever such can be procured.
Feed very little corn, as she should not be
made very fat-Rural New Yorker.

Five or six years ago there was a novice OF
q cheese maker in ManitowOc county, Wis,
who drew the whey when rather sweet for
those times, Salted his drained curd, heaped it
in his vat and then went of to dinner, three
quarters Of q mile, which took him out OF the
factory about IN hour. We remember he
was spoken Of as running great risks, but
somehow he always had good cheese, but the
stupid crowd yourselves includedl did not see
then thatit was in his method. We can now
see that he was practicing substantially the
same as that now called the Arnold, Curtis or
Harris methOd-got his curd out Of the o N
whey and waited for dry acid. The factory
has gone ON from small to large, from good
to better, and last spring put in al 5000
pound circular vat, while lots Of the o
whey cheese makers have gone out through
the whey spout to MISUNDERSTANDING

Speaking Of washes in the fields, l think
September tho best month in the year TO give
them attention. Weeds and trash can be
easily had to put dams in them, and if the
edges arc loosened up n little and seeded
heavily with rye and grass it win be but a
few days till they strike root 50 as to hold the

are any washes starting in your fields try this

The street scenes of Cork are like those Of

wheeled, from the j~aunting car, which dasheS
along at q -four minute pace with its load Of
pretty Irish girls or English tourists, to the
heavy cart, which drags on its two wheels a

cart, whose animal is not half the size OF It's

a Newfoundland dog.
The jaunting car is the hackney cab of Ire
land. You find it every where and all classes
use it. There are three kinds, outside, inside
and covered cars, and l give you here pict-
ures of each. The most used, however, Is the
open one, or the outside jaunting car. The
seats of this are cushioned and the frame
work is painted in bright colors. The seats
are fully five feet from the ground and

AN IRISH Il

There are many good stores in Cork, but
few like tho American ones you would tnd IN
q city of 10000. Their storerooms are, as a
rule, small, and their stock OF goods meaSor'
The smaller stores tumble their goods into the
windows, with no attempt at tasteful arrange
ment, and the sign Of a small grocery store Is
a window filled with greasy hams n vegc-
tables. The meat markets, or butcher shops,
all have one wide window opening ON to the
sidewalk, and the ledge Of this window Is the
meat counter, on which the cuts are carved
and weighed. In the better class of butcher
shops this counter is a marble slab; in the
poorer it is of wood.
Saloons in Cork are well patronized, and
Won will find both women and men drinking
at them. They are known here as spirit and
wine stores" and have signs OF this Kind.
Another curious store here is "The Potato
Store" where potatoes alone are sold. The
potato is the staple food of the lower classes,
and YOU will sec these stores everywhere.
Potatoes are worth now about the same as in
America. Those / have eaten are very fine,
and from the general health of the people
see there can be no better diet in the world.
