Women Piano Tuners.

There is no such thing as "women's
work" nowadays. Women write our
letters, run engines, herd cattle, pilot
vessels, conduct law cases, are physi-
clans, work at the blackslnith's forge
and do almost everything that men do.
A new field for their activity is piano
tuning, and some women have already
pre-empted positions in the business.
And there is no reason why women
should not succeed as well, or perhaps
even better, than men in this. They
have delicate, sensitive ears which are
easily trained to detect the slightest
variation in note of music. The pro-
fession is not one which requires any
great muscular. strength, and is clean
and nice.
True, it brings the tuner into contact
with every sort Of people. But what
self respecting American girl-and she
must not only. be self respecting but
self reliant to undertake to make her
own iving-will suffer from this? Given
the proper preliminary training, a
natural aptitude for the business, and
the American woman can make place
for herself in piano tuning as she has in
every other industry she has attempted
A new conservatory of music in Phil
adelphia will have special department
for female students in piano tuning,
regulating, etc., and it is certain that
the department will always be well
filed with pupils. Success to the woman
piano. tuner-and let the men look to
their laurels.-Music end Drama.

To Straighten the Eye.

Any squint or cast in the eye
can be cured without the expense
of going to q physician or an
oculist. 1t is only necessary to
get a pair of spectacles with plain
glass in and to color the center OF
one of the lenses black. The eye
will naturally make an effort to
look straight ahead all the time:
and after few days the effort will
be imperceptible. With child q
cure can be effected in week, and
with a grown person month will
suffice to remedy the. worst case
Wearing smoked glasses is the best
possible safeguard for weak eyes
when in a strong light, and even
these will help to get rid of q
"cast" by strengthening the eyes
and relieving them from unneces,
sary exertion.

Selection of Seed Grain.

1t is agreat pity that more pains
is not taken in improving seee
grain of all varieties. Something
of improvement is made every yeal
by our best farmers in the selection
of seed corn. Probably no work
the farmer does pays.him better for
the small time required than this
But small grains are harvested
with self binders, and if there be
individual plants OF much greater
excellence than the rest, their seed
goes into the grain bin with the
rest, and as likely as not is ground
or fed to stock. The American
Elevator and Grain Trade re-
marks: A few years ago Garret
Clawson, a western New York
farmer, found in his wheat field
near a burned stump some heads
of wheat differing materially from
the remainder of the field. He
saved these, propagated them, and
thus originated the Clawson variety
Of wheat, which has been of
inestimable value to farmers in the
wheat growing sections of the
country. Usually, however, after
a fewyears these new andimproved
varieties lose their best qualities.
How can it be otherwise, with seed
selection as it usually is. The care
in selection that originated the
variety is equally needed in main
timing it. There is no let up to the
general law that whatever is not
growing better is probably growing
worse.
ofall grain the most care should
be taken in selecting seed wheat.
Every three or four years, and at
most five years, seed should be
procured from a distance through
the local grain dealer and not of
a travelling shark.-Ex.

Cotton ReportThe Outlook and
the InIOOk.

Mr.. EDITOR: The week opened
with estimates of smaller move
ment of cotton. and the estimates
have proved correct, causing quite
a sharp reaction from the listless
feeling reported in our last, with
an extreme advance at one time of
about 80 points from the lowest
touched. Part of this advance has
since been lost, on the expectation
of heavier receipts again as soon
as the weather improves, and we
close tonight at an advance from
last Fridays figures, of Toto 12
points.
We said in our last that
amanipulation" could not be sue
cessful, unless helped on by natural
causes, and we still think these
natural causes point to lower prices
in the near future The advance
was brought about by temporarily
light receipts, the "buls" taking
advantage of the figures to run
prices up, but the general opinion
seems to be that the light receipts
we're caused wholly by bad
weather, and that they will again
increase. If they do, we shall
soon see lower figures than we
have yet touched.
Regarding the next crop, we
have very little news of import
ance, but what little we do hear is
very contradictory, the reports of
reduced acreage not being by any
means as unanimous as we would
like to see them. The cotton
world is waiting for reliable news
on this point, and if it can be fully
established that the reduction will
be of sufficient Importance, we
shall see bettar prices. If not, the
only resource Of the producers
through the summer will be to
pray for bad weather (for their
neighbors). A crop of over eight
millions will mean 5 cents next
year, or possibly less.

lORREsPONDENCE/
a.. C. Penn, of Mountain Greek
Tells How to nj lke q To-
bacco Barn.

Mr.. EDITOR: A few weeks since
some smart Alec writing for your
paper from Mountain Creek said
that "Abe Penn was not building
a tobacco barn, and there was mo-
that he would" inti-l
mating that I knew nothing what
ever about the construction OF
such a. house. Now to show that
II know all about tobacco barns,
and because do. not wish to hide
my light under bushel, I submit
the following directions for build
ing one, SO plain that awayfaring
man, though a fool, need not err
therein:
Log barns, ranging from sixteen
to twenty feet square, are the sizes
mostly used. These should be
built about twenty feet high in the
body, and covered with shingles
or boards. Large logs may be used
until the pen is built about seven
feet from the ground. Then, if
the size is twenty.feet, lay off for
five rooms, four feet apart, and
place tier poles across to form the
lower tier. Raise two logs higher
all around, and put on another
course of tier poles directly over
the first. Then, using smaller
logs (cabin size), place all three
logs higher all around, laying, on
tier poles as before, and continue
to elevate the body of the barn
until you have five tiers. Then
place two more logs around and
the plates, and the pen is ready
to be rooted. You will then have
a barn with five rooms and five
tiers high. Mark you the lower
tiers are not firing tiers, but placed
in the barn for the convenience of
hoisting and for storing cured to-
bacco when necessary. BY this
arrangement the tiers are about
three feet apart vertically, the
body of the barn cube, as high
as it wide and deep, and the whole
arrangement conformable to the
process of curing. The roof is SO
constructed, conforming to the
plan of the tiers below, as to
contain three tiers above the joist,
varying in length. Such a barn
will hold about $50 to 700 sticks
of medium tobacco six plants to
the stick. To prepare for curing
brights, it must be chinked and
daubed close inside and out.
In some subsequent commune
cation I'll give directions for con-.
structing fues, by which the nico-
tine is eliminated from the tobacco,
the proper temperature to be main
tanned inside the barn, and other
matters germane to the curing Of
the weed.
Yours truly,
A C. PENN.
