Tie SlumberinR Women.

Mrs. HELEN p. JENKINS q distinguished
Wolverine advocate Of woman suffrage.
writes to the Detroit Free Hess o letter In
which she tries to overthrow the objection,
usually regarded AZ insuperable In tho
present condition OF feminine opinion OH
woman suffrage, that the majority Of women
don't want to vote. but remain utterly indif-
ferent 10 the agitation Of the subject:
The in,sixent women Of this country who have in.
<ssxatsd tho question Of equal suffrage to i core"
Gays Mrs, JksxiNs "inAist that because many women
are Indifferent 10 the rights OF cksnship 10 no reason
why Justice should not DO done TO those who ask Justice
and who deserve IT, and It furnishes no excuse to men
OF brsns 10 refuse Justice to the Intelligent. progressive
women Of the land, especially AZ the privilege con.
tsrred need not disturb the su,nbesng women. they
can siumber s,il.
THE law permitting TO vs.s does not compel all
men TO accept tho rssponsibility"
This Is an interesting argument, but It
seems to be founded upon the assumption
that the minority and not the majority
should rule. There would be good many
serious changes In the Constitution and
tho laws II this principle were to be
adopted. A small but persistent minor
ity OF the American people is anxious
Tor an amendment recognizing GOD In
the Constitution" According To the rea-
soninR Of Mrs. JENKINS 1t is an injustice
to this minority not to grant Its wish. The
Prohibltionist minority clamor for q pro-
hibitory amendment The civil service re-
form squad howls for an extension OF the

II they were allowed to vote. At any rate,
there Is nothing for them to do but To con-
tinue the seemingly rather thankless task
Of trying to persuade the women who don't

ference to be conquered. Some of the sum-
bering women" who have been aroused by
tho woman suffragists do not take kindly to
woman suffrage. but send petitions against
It to the Legislatures. There will be active
hostility as well as passive want OF Interest
to overcome.

Navy Gains and Losses.

1t Is coincidence that tho wreck OF the

Gay Head. occurred close upon the second
anniversary Of the destruction OF the Tren-

that tho Triana. In going to their aid was

1t has been found since the year began
that the Omaha. tho Swstara. tho Talla-

Roots-Feeding to stock.

For cattle, the roots should be cut,
to avoid choking. Horses will eat
them with safety without Sheep
should have them cut fine, by pulper,
and fed in troughs. Cattle may have
them sliced or pulped and fed in a
manger, with or without mill feed on
them, two or three times a day, or, as
some prefer to cut dry feed, straw,
hay, or cornfodder, Have two bins;
put in cut feed TO the depth of eight
or ten inches, sprinkle on water to
dampen and sprinkle of salt, then
tramp down tight then put on layer
OF cut feed and roots as before, and so
on, rs many as you like, until you have
enough for one days feeding. Let
this stand until next day when it will
be quite warm for feeding that day,
and as you take it out it mixes togeth-
er. If you want to feed meal or bran
throw it on top OF it, in the manger,
then fill the other bin for next day, as
before each bin standing over night
to ftrment which is relished greatly
by cattle.
Feed when your stable is warm SO
that manure will not freeze or the wealth
er is warm, as cattle are not benefited
by roots if they stand in the cold after
eating them. Neither do they require
much water, if they have three pecks
or one bushel u head per day. In cold
weather, if turned out of stable one
hour in the middle of the day, for
drink and exercise, 1t is sufficient.
Cows milking, should be MIXED before
feeding turnips, as milking after tends
to give the butter taste of the turnip
with some cows. II it does, drop a
pinch of saltpeter in the bottom of the
pan and strain the milk on it, which
destroys all turnip flavor, and is per-
fectly healthful. Some put little in
the churn, before churning instead. -

CURRENT ANECDOTES.

and the senator asked why a certain chief
clerk had been removed. We'll" said

he knew more than l did, which was to

MALE AND FEMALE COURAGE.
The Female 1t Was That Fought, the
Rooster Claimed the Victory.


Rooster Claimed the victory.
One morning as the wife of a milk
dealer in Harrison, n. j., was sitting
at the window in the rear of her house
she saw large hawk swoop down to-
ward hen that had led her brood OF
chickens a hundred yards away from
the poultry Enclosure, says the New
York Sun. The hen had seen the ap-
proach Of the enemy, and, cackling
loudly she called her chickens to-
gether, and valiantly standing over
them she repealed the first attack.
The noise she made brought big
rooster to her assistance, and he, too,
faced the hawk with great clamor.
But when the fierce bird swooped
again it was the vigilant hen that met
him. The rooster had pranced away
behind her.
Then, however, as the baflled hawk
again retreated, he rushed forward
with the light OF battle in his eye,
knocked the hen away from her chick
ems, ruthlessly trampled on the brood
and sounded his clarion note OF tri-
umph and defiance. Twice more the
hawk renewed the onslaught, and each
time the hen drove him off and the
rooster claimed the victory and trod
down the chickens. When the hawk
at last flew away with empty beak and
talons the hen had only two little
birds to care for. Out of a family OF
nine the gallant rooster had trampled
seven TO death. .....

Clover is the cheapest and best pas
ture we can grow for our hogs, and
the cheapest pork is produced by feed
ing the hogs grain while pastured on
clover. With the small general farm
er who grows small number of hogs
each year, this matter OF growing clio
yer does not receive the attention it
should. Properly grown it is an addi-
ton to the wealth of the land, besides
the aid it gives to the hogs. 1t gives
to the hogs fine growth of bone and
muscle, the best foundation for feeding.
The growth and fattening process with
hogs of good size can be carried on at
the same time. Better have the clo-
yer for hog pasture rank and dense
than short and light. What the hogs
do not consume serves the farmer best
by falling on the land. We have seen
farmers Craze their fields so short that
they appeared to fear the loss ola spear
of grass, regarding that as lost that was
not eaten. Ordinarily we expect to
find the best herds in the most luxur-
liant pasture. When the growth is
abundant the hogs in the late part oil
the season get tender growth, which
is splendid supplement to green corn.

About California.

Upper California was first visited by
the Spaniard5 in 1912. Sir Francis
Drake, the same who took Raleigh's
colony back TO England in 1856 visit
ed Upper California in 1879, calling it
New Albion, which means New Eng
land. 1t was two hundred years later.
in 1869, when Catholic missionaries
from Spain made the first settlement
Of white people in that country. There
were only about ten thousand white
inhabitants in the whole province
when it was seized by the United
States in 1916. In the summer OF that
year California settlers from the Uni
ted States set up movement for indie
pendence, and tried to establish gov
eminent, known as 1.-The Bear Flag
Republic" They were aided by Capt.
Fremont (afterward GENERALLY, who
was in the province as a leader of an
exploring expedition. United States
naval officers on the coast, expecting
war between the United States and
Mexico, raised the American flag on
shore, and after some fighting, the
province remained in American hands,
and was definitely annexed at the close
OF the Mexican war.

GOLD PENS.
They Get Tired and Need Long Rest to
euro Them.

euro
There, that pen is tired and will
have to rest month or So"
The speaker was the mortgage clerk
OF one of the principal savings banks
in this city, and as he spoke he care
fully wiped large gold pen and put it
away in u case.
A San Francisco Post reporter, who
just entered the bank to have some
back dividend entered in his book,
overheard the remark and smiled.
ooh, you needn't laugh" said the
clerk, for it is the true business am
telling you. Gold pens have to rest
now and then. Here have, | suppose
two dozen pens. If ] use one pen for
several weeks or so / find it will not
write to my satisfaction. Sometimes
it is too soft and sometimes it is too
hard, or the ink does not seem TO flow
well.
''For long time / could not find
out what the matter was but at last /
went to jeweler, who, after examin-
ing my pens said: Give 'em rest
and they will be as good as new. '"
He then explained that the constant
use Of pen had the same effect on
the metal as is the case when razor
is used with great frequency.
Some sort Of electro. magnetic &C
ton takes place in the metal, which
has tendency to bring into parallel
lines all the particles, and in that con-
dition razor cannot be made to hold
an edge and a pen is equally refrac-
tory.
If the razor is laid aside for time
the particles of metal gradually re-
sumo more or less confused arrange
ment and the razor takes on and re-
tains keen edge.
1T is the same way with gold pen.
Now If when one of my pens gets to
acting bad i lay it aside for month
or so it will be all right again. That
why ! said that pen was tired and
wanted rest.n
