Overworked wives of Farmers.

Some time since, says writer in the
Southern CuLtirdtor, the statistics of one
of the States showed that of insanity among
women, the greatest number of cases were
those of farmers wives. Does not this fact
prove there is something extremely ''rotten
in Denmark" 1t is not that the farmer
does not work himself, but he generally has
labor-saving machinery, while his wife has
none. Patiently she plods along, always
hoping for rest land never getting it) she
goes to bed tired and gets up tired and, with
the ever-ready order to ''move on" she
moves on until with sorrowful gl2dness she
at last reaches the final "sreat rest" of ALL
Is it any wonder that even the babies of
these overworked wives come into the world
looking like little worn-o out men and women,
too tired to even cry, or else by their con-
tinual wailing, giving voice to the unspoken
fatigue of the mother3 Right here let me
give bit of ''horse-sense." There will
never be superior race mentally or phys
ically until men give as much care to their
wives as they do to their Jerseys and their
thoroughbred horses! Don't be shocked and
call this sweeping untruth. 1t is, alasl
only too true, and oh! the pity of it, the
pity of it! There are numberless instances
of farmers who, to their honor be it said,
treat their wives ''as their own bodies, y
with all tenderness and kindness, but the
majority are of the other kind.
During last summers vacation away from
home met with typical farmers wife.
She looked like patient, Flooding ox-and
did the work of one. With large family
of children, and with what assistance they
rendered she cooked. washed, ironed, brought
water from distant down-hill spring, cared
for the young children, did countless other
duties and aided her husband besides in the
farm work. He worked hard, also but had
hired labor and was thriving.enough to have
afforded the same for her. ltprobably never
occurred to him that his wife was over
worked, because she never complained, and
yet comparatively young in years, her face
was wrinkled with care and her head sprin-
kled with snow. We all know that
TOO much care will make young man gray,
Too much care will turn an old man to clay"
and the farmer in general, without being
such extreme cases as the one mentioned,
gives too little consideration to the welfare
OF his wife, while she is spending health,
strength and life for him and his.

has come near the top, increase the bank in
height and thickness. In a year or two the
grass will grow on the terrace and the roots
prevent washing, although the wafer should
flow over during water spout. It is diff
cult to ditch or terrace very steep hillsides.
They have to come so close together that
much of the land is taken up. If your ter
race is long it may be well to give a little
TALL towards the ends so that the surplus
water will pass off slowly. The fall should
not be more than one inch to every fifty
feet. If your lands do not wash you are a
happy man. Plow deep and pile in the ma
nure and your crops will make you smile.
On rolling lands washing can be prevented
by ditching or terracing if properly done.
On steep hillside bitches with little fall will
generally be better than the terraces, but
the latter will be better for the gently roll
ing lands. If these suggestions set you to
thinking on the subject it will do what was
intended.

Some of David Dickson's Maxims.


1 have made money by giving my land
rest one year in four to gather ammonia
and humus.
Ammonia is the foundation of English
agriculture. With little ammonia we can
gather large amounts every year and put it
at compound interest.
The richer you can make land the more
you can draw from the atmosphere annu-
ally.
If the guano comes in direct contact with
the seed you will have bad stand.
Everything made on the farm, after it is
used or eaten, except the lint of cotton,
must be returned to the soil.
All vegetable matter placed on your fields
will in due time turn to cotton, corn, pota-
toes, etc.
Turn in grass, weeds, peas and clover and
make the land mellow
Plow deep before planting and cultivate
shallow and manure properly, and you
will have no trouble in making good crops
No matter what color the land, or whether
sand or clay, if you keep up full supply of
vegetable mold, break deep before planting
and cultivate lightly, the result will be good.
If the season is dry thin planting will make
the most.

Lights should be placed above the visual
range and shaded so as to produce diffused
and equable light.
The "opsiometer" is a new instrument for
testing the eyesight. 1t consists of ma
hogany case with two front eyeholeS, be-
hind which are two travelling bands mount
ed on rollers These bands have holes in
which different lenses are fitted, and the
person whose sight is to be tested looks
through the holes and lenses at printed
matter behind.
1t is new idea to most persons that edge
tools not infrequenty get tired" and will
not hold keen edge until they have a rest.
This is the testimony of carpenters, BARRIERS
and wood-choppers. Locomotive engineers
notice the same result in their engines.
Possibly constant and hard usage may
cause changes in the capitalization that
would account for this popularity in in
animate things.
At some recent experiments made under
the auspices of the aerostatic corps of the
German army good photographs were taken
of the surrounding region while balloon
was poised $500 metres-about one mile and
half-in air. 1t will be remembered that
during previous tests of this kind SO many
difficulties were met that the promise of any
really practically valuable work seemed
rather doubtful
By means of careful records most of the
railroad companies are enabled to know ex-
actly the work done by every car-wheel in
the service. Some recent accidents in New
England attributed to the breaking of wheels
have brought out some interesting informa-
tion as to the life of a car-wheel. Upon
some roads steel wheels are expected to run
80, 600 miles, but as a rule they are taken oil
before the maximum is reached.

TWO TARGETS.
The Letter Writers Attack Hill and
Depew,

Depew.
New York, April l4.-As the days for
the assembling of the national conventions
roll on it is curious to note how two of the
mon mentioned as possible Presidential can
didates are flooded with letters and sugges-
lions from all parts of the Union and their
time taken up by men and women who
want TO talk with them on every subject that
makes up the great realm of State craft.
These two men are Hill and Depew.
Gov. Hills name is three times as big to-
day as il was year ago Men from all sec
lions of the country write to him on every
imaginable subject. Most of the writers of
these letters want the Governor to lay
plump and plain whether he is candidate
for the Presidency. Others want him to
write his views on the tariff and
also to explain the surplus problem. A
good many old soldiers W ant to know what
stand he will take on pension matters.
Woman suffragists write to urge the claims
of the gentler sex for the ballot. Union
lists want TO know how he stands on relg
ion, and even the ProhibitionistS write to
try and convert him to their way of think
ing.
1t is much the same with Chauncey NJ.
Depew. He gets hundred letters a day.
Most of them are urging him to come out
and announce his candidacy at once. One
old fellow wrote recently saying he knew
Depew would be the next President and he
wanted to exact promise
from him at onces that his
daughter should not be removed from
her position in the Treasury Department.
A Lone Star State orator wrote that he
would begin writing speeches at once for $50
each. Another man wrote from Chicago to
say that ne had heard that the late Com
modore Vanderbilt had left Mr. Depew
10000, 000 and as that was enough money
for any one person to have, he wished De-
pew to stand aside and let Ben Harrison be
nominated. Some of the letters are from
political strikers. They can fix such and
such a delegation for q little money-say
500 man. Other letters are from men
who claim to have political influence, and
want to serve Depew for the trifiing sum of
$50 day.
But George Hill and Mr.. Depew are over
run wit callers-self appointed political
committees who want to see end talk with
the prospective candidates. But both Hill
and Depew skillfully avoid politics in the
course of their coming show. They are
both asked fifty times a day if they are can
didates They reply with a smile. In the
beginning it was smile to be proud of.
Jolly, clean cut, sparkling, CHEEKY. Now,
however, it has become tired. weary
smile, the sort of smile that steal over a
mans face when some half witted fellow
has told punless story and the listener has
been pinched under the ribs to make him
laugh.
The photographers have begun to food
the country with Hill and Depew In New
York city they sell rapidly Indeed they are
more in demand than photographs of
the beauties of the footlights in flesh -colored
tights. FOSTER COATES.

Preserve Your Lands.

The preservation of rolling and billy lands,
says the Carolina Spartan, should always
be kept before our farmers. No one should
be satisfied while unsightly gullies are max
ing their way through the best lands Dur
Ing heavy continued rains the water has to
get away. bitches or drains have to be
provided in certain places to carry off the
surplus water. 1t takes thought and good
Judgment to locate these bitches properly.
IN clearing lands steep hillsdes should not
Dc cut down. Keep such places for timber
ana hrewood. II, by deep blowing, the ro-
'a1ion OF crops and the running of rows on
level you can keep your lands from wash

Flower Yards in Cities.

Vicks Magazine says on this subject: A
correspondent asks if l think she can grow
any flowers in little back yard in the city.
She says the sun shines there part of the
day, but as near as she can judge by the
looks of the yard it has never been planted
to ANYTHING but old cans, boots and shoes,
and rubbish of that sort, and she would like
to have few flowers growing there next
summer if can tell her of any that / think
would do tolerably well.
have in mind little yard not more
than ten by twelve, where saw some really
fine flowers growing last summer. The yard
belongs to house occupied by lady from
the country. 81 have always had flowers,
she told me, land when l came to the city
| felt as if could not go without them. |
told nv husband that / was going to try
my skill at flower-growing in the back yard
He laughed at me, and that, of course, only
made me more determined. l hired man
to turn up the soil to the depth of at least a
foot. 1t was hard and clayey, but l had
him break it up as well as he could and put
in some rubbish from an old house that had
been torn down near by, made up of NOR
tar, mostly. The sand and lime answered a
double purpose. 1t made the soil lighter
and more porous, and acted as a food for
the plants. l made the beds myself and
sowed in them Petunias, Phlox, Sweet Peas,
Nasturtiums and Balsams. l put the Mas
turtiums in the sunniest corner because
they love warmth. Along the side of the
house planted Morning Glories, and / even
went to the extravaganza of buying Moon
Flower, which was planted beside the kitchen
door. The work, seed and old mortar cost
me, all told, 81 6S. Do you suppose could
have expended that amount of money, or
ten times that amount, in any way that
would have afforded me more pleasure than
got from my little garden! | don't l
had flowers there from June to late in the
season; flowers to look at and flowers to
give away, and good flowers, too. had
been told that it was impossible to grow
good flowers in the city, but | did not be-
lieve it, and now I know that it is not so.
If you will prepare the soil well for the re-
ception of seed, and take good care of the
plants, see no reason why you should not
grow some of the more hardy and robust
kinds quite as well as in the country. |
think the reason why some have no luck is,
they just scratch over the soil, which has
become packed and hard, and the tender
roots of the young plants are unable to
penetrate it, and after little the poor
plants die for lack of food. | used all my
wash water and slops on the beds, and spent
good deal of time among them, stirring
the soil that the air and sunshine might get
into it and sweeten it.
