A NOVEL INDUSTRY.
A Woman's Scheme for Spreading Usefl
knowledge in Society.

A Woman's Scheme for Spreading Useful
knowledge in Society.
A comparatively new avenue OF EN-.
ployment for women, particularly for
intelligent and educated women, is that
of purveyor of information on topics OF
the day. The plan originated with a
bright woman who, at a dinner some
months ago, when the Samoan matter
was first prominent beheld the con.
sternation into which the entire COM
pany was thrown by the innocent ques.
tion of enc of them: "Where is Samoa,
by the way?" None of them, including
herself, knew for certainty, although
several more or less hazily correct sur
mises were given. The bright woman,
whose resources needed eking out, saw
her opportunity. Within a week she had
sent out to various ladies of her acquaint-
ance little written notices that on the
following Tuesday afternoon an informal
''talk'' upon Samoa and the Samoan
matter" would be delivered at the resi-
dence of Mrs. -, West Seventieth
street, a somewhat prominent society
woman who lent her this aid. 1t was
further stated that the purpose of the
talk was to present in n concise and
portable way the salient features of a
subject at the moment on the popular
tongue. Fully a score of ladies were
present from which number class of
ten for a course of talks was evolved.
The terms were dollar apiece from
every member for a lecture, and one
lecture per week was given during the
fol hn al
creasing to twenty in very short time.
Before she had conducted the enter
prise month the fair lecturer had Sc
cured classes in both Brooklyn and Jer-
sey City, and this year her scheme has
so enlarged upon her hands that four
days in the week she is at work morn
ing and afternoon, for, in addition to
the three cities, she has classes in
several suburban communities. One
lecture, of course, serves for a weeks
work, and as she will take no class OF
less than ten paying members, it may
be readily seen that the work is profit.
able. 1t is also pleasant and not
difficult. The newspapers furnish her
with topics and an afternoon at public
library affords the information needed.
Occasionally, though not often, fashion
able book is the subject of talk; the gist
of such, however, is usually so readily
obtained through any one of the innum-
cradle newspapers and periodical re-
views that the value of comment is not
SO obvious as in the case of other popu-
laf topics. The success of the pioneer in
the work has been of nature to attract |
others to non-competitive fields. Two
charming women in Seneca Falls have
takec to the parlor platform, joining
forces in the undertaking, and have |
flourishing classes, not only in the vii
lage named, but in Waterloo and SYRIA
cuse, with designs upon adjacent neigh
borhoods. All of the takers made a
speciality of complete and accurate in-
upon the topic discussed,
rather than voicing their Individual
opinion upon it. 1t is gratifying COM
ment upon the growth of the standard
of development in village communities
that the disciples of the metropolitan
lecturer so quickly secured their audi
ences.-N. Y. Sun.

FARM AND GARDEN.
SAVE THE MANURE.
A Good Plan for Saving Farm Fcrtilizinl
Material.

A Good Plan for Saving Farm Fcrtllizing
Material.
MY plan for saving all the manure,
for making the very best quality of
plant food, and for getting the full ben
eft of the developing capacity of the
manure is this: Our cows stand over q
water-tight basement cellar. Doors are
on the southeast side; space ten feet
in width next to these Is covered by a
shed connecting with the barn and low
enough to allow windows over the shed
roof to light the COW stable; The tie-up
for the cows is over the middle of the
cellar The back section ten feet wide
is used as store-room for field soil, and
is filed by dumping from driveway in
front of the cows.
Our source of supply of absorbents
Is the surface soil of our cultivated
fields. We often gather it after crop
Of potatoes, fodder corn, oats or barley
or in the spring before planting corn.
We gather the dry soil in the ridges
with a scraper, having sides six feet
long, six inches wide, two inches thick,
five feet apart in front, fifteen inches in
the rear, and we shovel from the ridges
into carts. In the cellar, by putting
bank of soil on each side of space five
feet wide and directly under the liquid
droppings from the cows, a mixture
trough is formed; three inches in depth
of the soil are spread on the bottom,
and about twice week the solid ma
nure is spread, and then soil enough is
thrown over it to hold all that falls be-
fore the time to spread it again. When
the manure gets to be two or three feet
deep in the trough it is thrown into the
section next to the doors and is ready
for use.
AS the manure in the trough lies in
thin layers Of soil and solid manure, by
beginning at one end, standing on the
bottom of the cellar and working at the
face of the pile, it becomes so we'll
mixed that each forkful as it is thrown
into the cart will contain very nearly
it's right proportion of solid and liquid
ingredients and thus make first-class
plant food. think there is no way in
which we can get so much from the
liquid as by having it fall upon the best
soil we can get, and then the best way
to use this saturated soil is to mix it
with its right proportion of solid manure.

Pretty Gabrielle Greeley.

Miss Gabrielle Greeley, daughter OF
Horace Greeley, who, as a girl of cigh-
teen, was o famous belle, resides very
quietly on the old farm at Chappaqua.
She is about twcnty-six years of age, still
very beautiful, but has almost entirely
given up society, devoting herself chief
ly to charitable work under ritualistic
auspices. She bought in the old Gree
ley homestead and has since spent much
money and timc on the Episcopal Church
near by. Perhaps no girl in America
ever had better claim to social recog-
milton both at home and abroad than Miss
Greeley whose beauty is Of striking
character and whose accomplishments
are many. She was the rage for two
seasons In London, but while enjoying
the simple pleasures of life cared moth
ing for its social successes. N. Y. Epoch.

Some first-rate lies have been print
ed by the newspapers since the first of
January, among them the story about
the fish caught in the Iowa river with
ten thousand dollars in bonds and other
bric-a-brac in it's interior, and the tale
about the fall of a two-ton gold-laden
meteor in Texas. This encourages us
to believe that when summer comes sea-

AS means Of prevention it is suggested
that the plants be trained and pruned
in such manner that plenty of air and
sunlight will at all times be permitted
to come in contact with the canes. In
all cases canes that have been killed by
the fungus should be removed and de-
stroyed. A solution of sulphate of iron,
two pounds in five gallons of water, has
been recommended to be sprinkled on
the shoots before the buds have started
in the spring. Later on, If there be any
signs of the disease, the Bordeaux MKT
ure may be used the same way.-N. Y.

How the Disease Makes Its First Appear
ance-Method of Troatment.
The raspberry is usually hardy in the
Northern States. though occasionally
affected by diseases commonly caused
by long-continued unfavorable climatic
conditions. AS general answer to in
quiries that have been made on the sub
ject, it may be said that if the disease
first appears on the canes near the base,
producing small purple spots variously
scattered around it and growing more
minute as they approach the tips and
causing the framework of the leaves to
show whitish blister-like spots, it is
caused by a fungus that attacks the
raspberry and blackberry, as shown in
the illustration.
The disease rarely spreads injuriously
during dry weather, but most rapidly
during damp seasons and at times when
moisture collects in drops on the canes

One of our subscribers writes that he
often sees the statement made that the
calf that is permitted to run with the
cow will make better animal than one
that is fed by hand. He says: 81 deny
it. i know better from experience" !"
No doubt there are really some ad-
vantages in raising a calf by hand. and
certainly just as good an animal will
develop under that system, If the man
agement is right, as would develop from
a calf that ran with COW. III it were q
fact that the calf were greatly injured
by taking it from the cow, it would be
highly desirable to institute rigid in
quiry If it paid odo it. Certainly, says
the Western Rural, If the calf is
raised by hand it is possible to feed it
better and push it harder. There is not
the danger that comes from disordered
condition of the mother. We know
just what the calf is eating all the time,
If our system is good ope 1t is un-
questionably better for the cow to re-
move the calf, for then she is millked
regularly and milked clean every time,
very Important matter. If the calf is
not permitted TO run with the COW all
the time, there are hours together when
the calf should have food and does not
get it, Upon the whole we think that
there is nothing detrimental to the we'll
being of the calf to raise it by hand, If
it is properly done.
