The editor Of the Woman's Realm
says something about spending our
time at home doing the housework pro-
perly &c. Can't a woman do her work
properly and attend to what she feels
is her duty in regard to charities and
reforms sc. just as well as a mar can
attend to his labors properly and yet
fad time to belong to this or that So
ciety and go to this club meeting or
that one, and perhaps spend "a good
deal Of his time here aid there or some
where else; talking politics and so on,
and so en-. I remember when l
was a little girl hearing this old adage.
what is sass for the goose is sass for
the gander." Now ] believe this is il
rule that will work both ways, and
what is sass for the gander is sass for
the goose, and this Is why I expect to
some day vote. You doubtless will
hear from me again if1happen to have
my dishes washed and all the rest of
the hundred and one things a woman
has to do in order to have her house
work properly done. Yours in haste.

"A few days since we had the pleas
ure OF spending an evening with Rev.
JIG. Campbell. To begin the enjoy
ment of the evening we went to his
stock yards and Toasted our eyes upon
the sights there. He has a fine lot of
young horses that are worthy any mans
pride, but we were not prepared for
what we saw when we arrived at the
cattle sheds. There was a lot OF 25 of
the h~andsomest yearling calves that it
has been our privilege to see in Dakota.
The are principally of the Polled An
gus breed. All his cattle are In fine
condition. There is nc reason Why
stock raising cannot be made profitable
here. After a plenteous supper and an
evening spentin song and social con-

WOMAN'!S REALM,
ny Mas. l.. Ii. BLANK, associate EDITOR.

Last week we were crowded out of
our rightful column. owing to a rush
OF more important % matter. The
editor-in-chief has since been SO beset
by indignant protests from ladies in
terested in the column that he says it
shall never happen again So trust
ing in Providence and the stability of
the masculine mind we again take up
the editorial pen.
Mrs. A. D. Cady is piecing a quilt
which, when completed, Will contain
10000 pieces. Who can beat that?
Some samples of woman's work were
left in our office last week. which show
that all inventive genius is not monop-
olized by the sterne1 sex. a loaf of
light bread resembling Graham, sam
pie Of flour from which the bread was
made, some thread, which for strenth
and smoothness rivals flax thread, and
p preparation to be used as a substitute
for coffee; all being products OF the
very common though esthetic plant
called sun-iower. Theseed was raised,
gathered and cleaned by Mrs. Taylor,
then taken to the Woonsocket mill and
ground. When we consider the enor-
yield per acre of this never fail
ing seed, and it's perfect ~adaptability to
our soil and climate. we fealize the i'm
m advantage it will be to us if it
can be utilized in the ways mentioned
above. Wheat and corn will some
times fail, hut we can safely count on
the sun-fiower. Mrs. Taylor writes
that the flour has been used the same
as buckwheat with perfect success. it
being hard to detect the difference be-
tween it ard the genuine. The only
difficulty which occurs to us now as
possible, is that the resinous nature of
the plant may give a bitter taste to the
the preparations Of the seed unless
great care is taken in removing the
outer husk. But if farmers make the
demand. millers will construct their
mills to do the work, the same as they
have for flax seed, oats and other grains
difficult to grind. Perhaps Oscar Wilde
would be disguised than ever
with our practical American ways, if
he should hear that we are making
common food out of his eynuisita mod
ell, the dainty sun-1iower. l presume
he would think 1t as much of a desecra-
tivn, as it would be were we to obtain
nectar {the tabled drink of the gods.)
invent a method of graduating it and
put it on the market as cheap Ameri-
can sugar. Nevertheless, VIC. as a peo-
pie, need not be at all ashamed of our
Yankee way of finding the practical
value of things ana using THEM to the
test advantage.

man who needs to be reformed before
