Natural selection and women,s Rirhts,


Happily women have vast body of
friends left-friends who will succeed in
saving womanhood from the advanced"
women who would fain abolish it; and
those friends are, as might naturally have
been expected, the men. In spite of all
that lady lecturers and anti-feminine old
maids can do to unsex their sisters, men
will for the most part continue to choose
their wives-the mothers of future women
from the most womanly of their kind:
and so will aid and abet in handing down
to coming generations those fine and beau
tiful feminine qualities which the recall
citrant mannish women of our age are so
anxious tc disown in favor of male Pc
culiarities. Sexual selection will, here as
elsewhere, play its bene6cent part, and Sc
cure the survival of all that is best and
MODEST in the gains of our race. Men
viii protect women against the enemies of
womanliness in their own sex. The cell
bate lady lecturer viii die unrepresented:
the woman with grace, tact, high emo
ticnal endowments, pure womanIy gifts.
Will hand down her exquisite and charm
ing qualities TO other women, her likes,
after her.
And these qualities, the finest flower
and most ethereal outcome of our race,
manly men are certainly the last persons
to underestimate. What vulgar, mate
rial view of humanity it is that treats the
power to teach school or TO earn a liveli-
hood as the sole measure of efficiency in
the race. What a vulgar, material view
ii is that brings everything down to the
rule of three in dollars and cents, and en-
deayors to exalt the harder mannish quail
tiles at the expense of the softer, purer,
and finer womanish ones. What vulgar,
material view it is that looks upon the
shop and the factory as the sole end and
aim of our race Grant alien IN Forum.

For the REcoRD-UNIoN.
APOSTASY.

l deemed the world so drear and cold
Had chilled each tender thought of thee,
As flowers fade from field and void
When winter winds beat Wild ard free.
The sunlight falls from azure skies,
And Nature smiles on hill and plain.
Beneath the warm glow of thine eyes
Ny love awakes to life again.
Oh, but once more to hear thee speak,
To press thy hand-as do now
To see the faint blush on thy cheek,
And all forgot each plighted VOW
Forgotten every debt owe
To one whose heart is wholly mine;
Forgotten all-and bending low
worship at another shrine.

Horses can, of course, stand more expos
ure in cold weather than men, but the
same kind of exposure that produces colds,
rheumatism, etc, in men, will be liable to
effect horses in the same way. 1t is there

blankets and protection from bad weather
are necessary.

The farmers progress may be judged by
his manure heap. The careful and judic-
ious farmer takes advantage of every OPP
portunity, not only to have and save as
much manure as possible, but he aims to
prevent loss of volatile matter in that
which he has accumulated. Upon the
management of the manure heap depends
the profit or loss.
The value of manure or fertilizers de-
ponds not only upon the amount of plant
food they contain, but also upon the kind
and quality. Commercial fertilizers con-
tain plant food in a concentrated form,
while manure contains nearly the same
substances in bulky condition, and they
may be nearly alike in composition or
vary widely. Every pound of available
plant food in ton of manure can be du-
plicated by the chemist, and in smaller
bulk.
Although farmers owe much to the
breeders of thoroughbred stock for the
wonderful Improvements made within the
past fifty years, yet it is doubtful if they

Thirty or forty years ago potatoes grown
ON sandy soil were reckoned the best, and
it was thought that heavier lands were un-
suited to them. But potatoes on sand soon
run out, probably from deficiency of potash.
and the bulk of the crop for market is now
grown on heavier land and well MANFRED.
The Early Rose, and in fact most yery
early potatoes need to have the land as
rich as it can be made. Thus grown we
think they are better in quality as well as
in yield. The old Mercer potato was a
sort that did best on sand, and if much
manure was used it always rotted badly.
The Peachblow potato was the first one to
be cultivated on all kinds of soils. and this.
as much as its good quality, made it popu-
lar both with the growers and consumers.
POULTRY NOTES.
Poultry will thrive best on sloping,
sandy soils.
Perfectly clean water is essential to the
health of fowls.
Dorkings are the best pure-bred fowls
for general purposes.
Turkeys lay about thirty-five eggs six
eggs generally go to a pound weight.
Fowls that roost in trees seldom are sick
