About woman. sphere.

In answer TO Miss Perkins / would say
that the spheres which are open to
women to-day are as numerous and
varied as the individuals to fill them.
If we follow first, in duty's footsteps all
other things will be made clear and some
how we will find a way to do the work
for which we are best fitted.
There is one place where woman is ever
the central figure and, sister, IL some

that all women are not meant for homes
and many mothers whom / can recall
are no better fitted to rear children than

fact, memory furnishes so many instances
that / am convinced that although oul

The average production of corn Is
about twenty-four bushels per acre. But
for the production of the fodder the
corn crop would not be profitable.
The Riverside Press says southern Cal
ifornia needs 5000 mich COWS and 10000

want the COWS, hens and many other

the needs, at the price it loans to bankers,

Very few people are aware of the fact
that the Japanese persimmon, when

imaginable. Those who are acquainted
with this fruit know that 1t must be fully
ripe when picked, otherwise the flavor

fectly ripe persimmon is difficult oi
handling without damage, and therefore
a considerable loss is apt to result. Elk
periments made, however, show that the

THE BEST 1T SHOWS.

The great achievement of the admin
istration under the head of the reci-
procity tag of the mckinley act has
been claimed to be the arrangement with
Brazil. 1t is alleged that important adj
vantages were secured that will enable
manufacturers and some classes of pro-
ducers to find additional customers.
But the Brazil agents insist that the
dividends of the deal are in their favor
by large majority. Examination of
the negotiations may be OF Interest TO
farmers and merchants. The agents in
the transaction were Mr.. Foster. the
former minister to Spain. and Mr.. MEN-
DoNCA, the Brazil representative AT
Washington. The theory of the reel
procity scheme is that freedom for
American articles can be secured
by the menace to impose high
duties on the products this country
buys. In this case Mr.. FOSTER started
in with the suggestion that the presi-
dent was authorized on the lst of next
January to impose duties on the i'm
ports from Brazil that would amount to
Sl0.00O,0O0 on coffee, $1,000, 600 Oh sugar
and 81, 100000 on hides. This authority
would not be exercised if Brazil would

SENDS HIS CHECK.

A part of the mission Of Secretary
HALFORD to New York the other day
was to deliver the personal check of the
president TO the secretary of the Repub-
lican state committee. This is the state
ment of the correspondent of the st.
Louis GlobeDemocrat, which is high
Republican authority. The amount is
not definitely known, but understood to
be 800. There is special significance
in this sending of the highest personal
agent Of the president to New York
with advice and money for the conduct
of the campaign. 1t was followed or
was simultaneous with circular to the
army of federal officers in that state in
wiling contributions to the campaign
funds. With the example of the presi-
dent so cOnspicuously before them

the phraseology and not the old as
seSSment practice. has been changed.
The statement is not surprising that
there was prompt and numerous re-
Spouse. The spirit of the civil service
reform of the law prohibiting assess
ments will not be found in the New
York situation. as moved by the hand
Of the president. On former occasion
the voters of New York resented with
Indignation the interference of Re-
publican president with their local
elections. 1t is doubtful if HARRISON
now will benefit his party or contribute

path of his personal ambition next year.

HOW MUCH MACHINERY?

Possibly there is some objection in
the great wheat fields of the Northwest
to the use of the machines said to be
successfully employed in California in
harvest. They cut, thresh and sack the
grain at once, and nearly dispense with
the use of harvest hands. If the OBJ
stacles are not due to the climate, or
are removable, 1t may be presumed that
in time machines will be introduced to
combine these processes and obviate
most of the manual labor. In Cali
fornia it is claimed that the cost of har-
vesting has been reduced to cent or
two buShel. and half a dozen men
take the place of the twenty or more
under the old way. On the great
farms, also, the other operations
are being largely carried on by
machinery. and motive force that
Utilities little human labor and reduces
even the animal part. A traction engine.
with its steam power. often draws a
dozen plows and as many harrows. In
the Pacific states it is stated that these
processes. have made farm labor a drug
and driven much of 1t out of the coun-
VI tLc blIldil
towns and rural districts in business
way. Population diminisheS and the
country merchant suffers. or may be
forced to abandon his business. This
machine work is only available on the
bonanza farms. It's effect is to multi
ply the big farms at the expense
of the smaller ones. Syndicates
and capitalists acquire the lands,
and with their vast mechanical equip
ment reduce production to a wholesale
system, cheapening the processes so
that the small farmer is unable to COM
pete. and if not forced to sell out to the
growing monopolists his subsistence be-
comes more difficult and his nubbins
fewer. 1t is serious question how lar
it is desirable for machinery to take the
agricultural field. Bonanza farms do
not fill the country with settled popu-
lation that establishes society and the
home. The small land owner has no
chance. The country is all in the hands
of few individuals who have no local
interests except to get all they can for
themselves out of the land. There NAV
be TOO much science and machinery in
agriculture.
