MAKING ADVANCES.
Improvements That Have Been Made in
All Branches of Farm Work.

improvements That Have Been Made I'm
All Branches of Farm Work.
Progress in agricultural science at
best is slow. AS rule naturally con-
servative farmers do not take hold and
use advantages so often afforded by the
experience of others. Changes in
methods of planting and cultivating as
well as in feeding or managing stock.
Yet there is no question but that great
improvements have been made and are
still being made in all branches of
farm work.
The use of improved machinery, the
keeping of better stock, better feeding,
better water, better crops, better gen.
eral appearance of farms, all bear evil
dences that farmers are making ad-
vances.
At the same time there is plenty of
room for greater improvement, and in
no section are the possibilities greater
than in the South and Southwest. Acres
of land not yet in cultivation, much
that is not yielding what under proper
management the soil is capable of, af-
ford plenty of room for better advance
| ment.
Too often we get into a rut and stay
there. Repeatedly following one plan
we fall into habit that in many cases
is difficult to get out Of, and often,
when from the experience of others,
we might make changes that would be
for the better, yet we fail to improve.
Much of this is the result of careless
ness more than any thing else. Let a
newcomer make start in the neigh
borhood, if he is a man of energy, and
go to work evidently with the inten-
ton of doing something, his move.
ments will be watched closely. II he
fails he must expect to bear some
ridicule, but if he succeeds, in short
time he will have some followers, an6
some improvement at least is made
This is one phase of improvement.
Gradually farmers are learning Il
read more, and this naturally excite'
thought and thinking begets improved
action, so that slow but surely {
steady advance is made. OF course il
some localities this is greater thar
others. This is in accordance will
circumstances. Yet It's better to re
cord the fact that advances are being
made than to feel like the class t
which you belong are standing STILL

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
ONLY A WOMAN.

Only woman! A delicate woman!
Who starts at the sight Of mouse;
Whose weight is four-scorc
(Not many pounds more),
And yet what power In the house.
Calmly screnely, she orders her household
With almosta soldierly drill;
From chaos she's bringing,
Yet all the while singing,
Sweet order her part TO fulfil.
Only woman! softhearted woman,
Whose bright tears are ready to flow;
And yet, whose small hand
Is made TO command
In her womanly sphere here below
Small things may Try her and rufllo her temper,
And yet with great trials she'll rise,
And shame even man,
With some we-dcyised plan
That must have dropped down from the
skies.
Only woman n far sighted woman,
Who strives to make mn Of her boys,
Who reads their young hearts,
The while she mparts
True principle in with their joys.
Training her daughters-thcir constant com
p9niOn-
Softly leading them each by the hand,
Teaching them truths
In their innocent youth,
That their names may be gold in the land
Only a woman beautiful woman,
Now gliding through chamber and hall,
Her laughter and song,
That to home life long,
Robs many q heart OF its thrall.
Joy of her children; queen OF her husband;
Who else may claim such throne,
Strong and enduring,
Sweet peace insuring,
Who but fair woman alono?

Proper Procedure.

Men, when they desire to achieve
purpose, unite forces, and thus col
lectively accomplish objects far beyond
the reach of individuals singly. Wo-
man could be of incalculable service
and comfort to each other, could they
but get out of the narrow and solitary
rut to which time and custom have so
long confined them. They could assist
each other in a thousand helpful fem
mime ways to overcome the petty an
noyances which infest the domestic
realm. But women are only just be-
ginning to learn the power OF organ
lied effort. When they have come to
appreciate its powers to aid, they will
have discovered way out OF many OF
the small difficulties which now har-
row and perplex them. Woman's

WASHING DISHES.
iknow fair maid with laughing eyes,
Where a mingling of mischief and kindne.

know fair maid with laughing eyes,
Where mingling OF mischief and kindness
lies.
Her form is supple and gracefully neat
AND she trips about upon restless feet;
she can sing diyinely-conyerse with ease
with presence as pure as a summer breeze
And endowed beyond bound of human wishes
she's bewitchingly sweet when washing dishes.
With cheerful air, and smiling haste,
she ties big apron around her waist;
Aud notice, rs slyly glancing up,
How she dcftly handles each shining cup
Placing them carefully side by side
Where she views them all with q dimpled
pride;
softly humming lively measure,
Tapping the time with childish pleasure.
Then pursues her task demurey sedate,
Taking in turn each china plate;
And so busily passing to and fro
Until they are laid just where they should go
For though she embroiders with taste and
skill,
Can faultlessly glide through the gay quad
rifle
We admire her more when she grants our
wishes
And allows us to watch her washing dishes.

One Dollar Per Year,

posed to the divine order OF things. II
can do no good, and may do great harm.
Let us, then, refuse our consent to such
a revolutionary proposition"
Some women say: 1--WE have not
time to do our domestic work and to
take care of our children. Do not lay
on us this additional burden of public
duty But women have as much time
as men. The women whom know who
do the most for the public, in hospitals,
in education, in charitable institutions,
often do quite as much at home as
other women. 1t is not time that is
wanted in this world, it is power. And
whatever enlarges, elevates and edu-
Gates women will give her so much
more power that she will do her do
mestic work as easily as now, and pub.
lie work besides.
The meaning OF this movement is that
it shall admit the influence of woman
into public life, as it has already been
admitted into literature, into society,
into the church. Would any one desire
that woman should withdraw from these
spheres of activity Would we say TO
Florence Nightingale and Helen Gibson:
"The field of battle is not your sphere.
Go home and take care of your familyp"
Would we say to Mrs. Stowe: "Do not
write any more books. Go home, and
take care of your household" Would
we say to Rose Bonheur: ''Do not paint
pictures; cook the dinnerp" Would we
shut women out of our schools, out OF
eur churches, and tell them to learn at
home, and ask their husbands what the
minister said, as Paul directed Every
step thus far taken to enlarge the sphere
of woman has been benefit to her, to
man, and to society What good reason
can be given for stopping herep
Political questions do not mean mere
| ly questions OF finance, of currency, OF
tariffs, of railroads. Moral questions
are involved, and deeply involved, in
| all politics. If women had had voice
in legislation years ago, would slavery
have been allowed to grow stronger
and stronger, till at last 1t could only
be uprooted by an awful war? Dowo-
men wish-is any woman willing-that
there should ever be another WARP If
women in Europe had a political intlu-
ence and direction, would they allow vast
armies to take away their brothers and
sons year after year, for no purpose but
to feed the ambition of rulers? Do not
women know the evils OF intemper-
ance? Would not they, il their tact
and intuitions had gone into politics,
have devised some better way than man
has done to extricate us from this great
source of crime and misery9
We can not overestimate the import
ance of mothers and wives in their
homes, or the great work they have to
do there. Only l say that they would
not do their work less well, but more
effectively, by enlarging their sphere,
opening their minds, and helping their
husbands and sons in public affairs.
One can fulfill all lowly duties by rising
sometimes to the highest, as the lark
scars and sings in the upper air, and
then drops down again into his nest:
"Type OF the wise, who soar, but never roam,
True to the kindred points Of Heaven and
home"

UNCLE SClP'S WAY.

My last experience was with a little,
'obust old darkey known in our town
as Uncle Scip. hired him to spade
up my wife's flower garden, task any
half active man would have completed
in half day.
Uncle Scip said he would "drap
round and "frow up dat dirt in
bout fo'ty minnits." He didn't know
but he'd come around and do it some
morning befo' breakfus, jess fo' de ex-
ercise.
He came instead at half past eight
one morning when every body else had
their seeds in. | was doing some work
at home that day, | said:
Hurry up, Uncle; my wife wants to
get her seeds in the ground to-day.
"Yes. sab, yes, sab; I'll hab it done
in leSs'n n no time now"
Half an hour later went out and
found the spade sticking up in the
ground and three or four shovels oi
dirt thrown up.
