Good Business Hen.
Early in the month OF October our
market man told US that eggs had al
ready risen in price so that we could
only get / l for 2j cents. They viii prob
ably be no cheaper than that in New
York before next spring, when warm
weather comes. The fashionable white
Leghorn eggs are even higher. They
bring fairly dizzy prices all the year
yround. During the Christmas holidays
The price will 90 up still more, until
1t times eggs Will be and cents
spiece-that, too, not the fancy fresh
laid, but i1st the output Of the plain,
common hen At times it will be impos-
sible at some Of our groceries 70 get them
at all. The demand for eggs for table
use rapidly increases. There seems q
disposition among civilized people TO
use less meat and more eggs and milk.
II i were q woman out OF employment,
l should select some spot near good
market and 90 very cautiously into the
egg busi.ess. ANY woman can learn
it who has patience and pluck enough
10 earn her living at anything else. For
egg production l should select the rose
comb Brown LeghOrn fowls. At that
calling they beat all other hens. For
broilers and egg laying both j should
get the handsome Plymouth Rocks.
Then the Light Brahmas are excellent

If only one kind could he kept. then
it should lie the rose comb Brown
Leghorn for egg production, since
e,ygs are the article that is scarcest

pers will give so much information
that even an amateur can succeed who

there Will be many discourage1ncnts,
and three women out of four will give

is sure and an independent, healthful
occupation, with u happy home. The
wise thing for the hen woman to do Is

and restaurant keepers, for her wares.

Here is one of the indignities and in
suits that women must put up with be-
cause they cannot vote: a woman
teacher may give all the best years of
her life to the public school at the small
salary that affords plain living. She
NAV be more capable than she ever
was in her work, but as soon as she
reaches the age of so, perhaps before,
the masculine board of education sheer
| ingly observes that it wants fresh
blood and youth in the women teach
ers. - She must step down and out into
the world to begin all over again or be
dependent ON some grudging relative
for her living. Perhaps some of the
), very men who turn her into the street
went to school to her and owe to her
teaching all the little intelligence they
ever had or will have-it matters not.
| 1t matters not either that so, 1.-The
youth of age, " is the time when the hu-
man being who has lived right is just
coming into the flower of his life intel
lectually and is more capable than he
ever was before. Nothing of this
counts Ont the crushed, insulted
woman must go. The thoroughly mean
and fiendishly low down part of the
thing is that man school principal or
teacher of the same age is never dis
charged. l know at this moment
