ern Farm,

II was asked what was the first and
most essential part to good farming
would answer good, substantial fences
Placing good fences at the head of all
other essentials for good farming may
be quizzed at by those who farm with
ont fences, but am persuaded that the
greater portion of the farmer readers af
this journal like myself use fences, and
If those querist had seen as many poor

to see stock breaking through or jump
ing over poor fences, destroying crops
that are to support life and are needed
to meet and satisfy all other demands,
they, too, would say that good fences
were the first and most important OF all
other essentials to good and progressive
farming.
Not only should the farm be inclosed
by good fences, but these fences should
be kept free from weeds, briers and
bushes on each side, that they may
have the full benefit of the sun to keep
them dry and thus make them more
durable, consequently less expensive.
The inside of the farm should have q,
sufficient amount of good fences to,
enable the farmer to cultivate his fields
with a proper rotation Of crops, and to-
supply sufficient pasture for the farm
stock.-Dixie Farmer

A Few Words to Those Who Dwell In the
Cotton States.
The planting season is about over,
and now comes the working of the crop.
In our section, the stand of cotton is
good and the plant looks well and is
growing rapidly. Every thing you will
hear now, till the hot days of June and
July come, will be 1--WE have the bright
est prospects for a a~cge yield;'' ''never
had a better crop" etc. Then, ''the
drought is running our crops; cotton is
shedding, corn burning up," etc. To
obviate these disasters, let the farmers
cultivate their crops properly. Having
put their cotton to stand, with plenty
of distance, let them begin the culti-
vation with scrapes, and never
p1ow deeper than two inches, and
not allow crust to remain on the land
after rain; keep the pIows moving and
the land we'll stirred, so as to prevent
the weeds and grass from terminating
and not to kill them. Zone preventive
is worth dozen remedies" and you
will hear less of shedding and burn.
ing" from dry, hot weather.
Ny plan is to have my rows from four
to six feet wide, according to the
strength of the land, and check it of
three to fee feet and plow alternately
each way. Thin to one stalk with the
hand, and let hoes severely alone. Tbs

WOMEN IN MEDICINE.
No Direction in Which Female Aptitude
Can Find Greater Usefulness.

No Direction in Which Female Aptitude
Can Find Greater Usefulness.
Itcan not any longer be said that wo-
mans sphere is limited to mere house,
hold economies, and that the employ
ment of her skill and ability has no re-
lation to the happiness and comfort OF
the world at large. Perhaps there is no
direction in which her particular apti-
tudes can find greater usefulness than
in connection with medicine and sur
gerry. While it is scarcely forty years
since the first woman graduate in medi-
cine received her diploma in this country,
the number of female practitioners in
medicine is every year on the increase,
and not few of them have obtained high
rank in the profession. We find women
mall our hospitals equipping themselves
not merely as nurses. but for the service
of humanity as experts in the healing
art, and the facilities for medical train
ing are constantly increasing.
A most significant movement in this
direction is that which has taken shape
in connection with the Johns Hopkins
University and Hospital. The some
what straitened financial condition of
that institution has suggested to many
prominent women of the country the
possibility of contributing to its relief,
and at the same time fastening the es-
tablishment of a medical school in
which the benefits of the highest medi-
cal training shall be afforded. To this
end they propose to raise the sum of $780,
600, which is to be given to the trustees on
the distinct condition that women whose
previous training has been equivalent
to that Of an ordinary preliminary medi-
cal course shall be admitted to the in
stitution on precisely the same terms as
men. Committees ar6 at work in six of
the principal cities, including Boston
and San Francisco, and considerable
contributions have already been made
to the furtheranee of the movement. It
is not designed that this medical school
shall take the place of the ordinary
schools for women now in existence
but that it shall supply opportunities
for that advanced medical training
which they are now obliged to seek in
foreign schools. The prominence of the
ladies engaged in this enterprise, to-
gether with the obvious desirablenesa
of the school proposed, leave no room
for doubt that it will be successful.
We can see no reason why women
should not be admitted on an equality
with men in all our educational institu-
tions, of whatever character. Whatever
woman is able to do well and efficiently
without sacrifice of the primal relation
which she holds to society, she should
be permitted to do and helped to do.
Since her influence is the supreme
factor in every great moral reform, and
is rapidly becominga prime influence in
all social progress, it certainly is desir-
able chat no obstacle should be placed
in the way of the largest possible utili-
zation of her capacities Frank Leslie'a

Continual cropping robs the virgin

The house rent and farm living

profit.

The growth and yield of the farm
largely depend upon the farmer and big
plan of work, or rather his manage
ment.
AS rule the best breeding animals
are the cheapest for the farmer, and IL
majority of cases they will be found to
be thoroughbreds.
1t is a good plan to keep stock IN
condition so that they can be made
ready for market at any time. In this
way advantage can be taken of the mar
ket.
The richness of the food given q
the steck has much to do with the valuo
of the manure, and this is one reason
why poultry manure is valuable, BE-
cause the fowls eat so much grain.
Keep the manure either hauled out
and scattered in the fields or piled Up
under shelter so that it win rot, ana
not get scattered or wasted, as viii Ds
the case if left alone.
AS a general rule, larger profit In
proportion to the number of stock kept
can be secured by keeping sheep in rea.
sonably small fiocks, rather than Wltn
a large number together.
With nearly or quite all field crops
it is not the number of acres plowed gf
cultivated, but rather the number 9f
bushels harvested that determines the
amount of profit that can be deriysa
from the farm.

The Financial Problem.

The following sensible conclusions
are presented in the Western Rural
Of Jan. A:
There never was a better time for
the people of this country to calmly
and intelligently consider the fnan-
cial question than now. For years
the people have been assessed to pay
interest upon bonds which the govern
ment has been perfectly able to pay,
because If the bonds were paid, the
National banks-which are owned by
private individuals and maintained
for the sole profit Of such individuals
would be crippled. The people have
been taxed to sustain the business Of
individuals, and q greater wrong it
would be difficult to conceive Of. But
the time is rapidly approaching when
the government will no longer dare
perpetuate the public debt to sustain
private enterprises. Something
must necessarily be done; and the
friendsof the National banking sys-
tenn las the Rural has already stated
propose to substitute corporate for
national bonds as the basis of our
banking system The Rural has dis
cussed the stability Of the value Of
such bonds in previous issues. The
best Of such bonds will always be
found to be those of municipal cor
porations and yet it is altogether pos
sible that the best Of such securities
may be utterly ruined in val
ue by mismanagement, something
that is likely to occur, especially in
cities. It is proposed to,build a bank
ing system upon this very uncertain
basis.
What will the result be9 Or rather
what may the result bel Upon the
deposit Of certain amount in bonds
the government, as now, will guaran-
tee the redemption of the bills. I'm
der the system as at present conduct
ed, however, the government receives
it's own bonds as security from the
banks. II has absolute control Of the
matter; and if it permits its own
bonds to decrease in value, it is It's
own fault. But with outside bonds as
security for the circulation of our
bauls the government has no sort Of
control of their values. 1t is perfect
ly helpless to protect itself. The hold
er OF a bank note will be safe enough,
of course, for the government will re-
deem it. But after all the holder, in
case of loss, must necessarily come
upon the people, and thus the tax
payer is compelled TO stand back OF
this enterprise, which is carried on
for private gain. Now IL any sane
man has q single reason 10 suggest
why the Rovernment--the people
should not issue this circulation d.
