OUR MAUD MULLERS.

About this time of year look out for ac-
counts of the young woman who has raised an
enormous crop of potatoes or corn with her
own fair hands" or has harvested hay crop
of something less than a thousand tons, or
has stacked her fathers wheat and oats, her
work being far superior to that of any man
in the neighborhood" The inevitable accom-
paniment of these pleasing tales are eulogies
of the young woman by admiring newspaper
writer's, whose ideas of harvest-field la
bors are gathered mainly from en-
cravings of Maud Muller raking the
hay, and the picturesque tableau of
Ruth cleaning in the fields of Boaz," as ar

the girl who does farm work that they cannot
say too much in praise Of her energy ambi-
