WOMEN AS EXHIBITORS.

Their Wonderful Showing at the Great
Columbian Exposition.
No undertaking of more magnitude
has ever sprung from an infinitesimal
beginning than that which has grown
out of the unobtrusive and apparently
innocuous clause of section of the
Worlds fair act of congress which pro-
vided for board of lady managers. II
consists of three lines, as follows:
And said commission is authorized
and required to appoint board of lady
managers of such number and to per-
form such duties as may be prescribed
by the said commissions" and upon this
slender bridge the women of the coun-
try, with Mrs. Palmer at their head,
have crossed the rubicon and demanded
a distinctive exhibit which must, in
the very act of separating from the
general exhibit, become competitive,
challenging comparison with the fruits
of the ages in every department of activ-
ity, mental and physical. They have
taken this step in defiance of the fact
that it is impossible to separate effect
ually the work of women from that of
men, save in a minority of cases, and
that in thus cutting themselves off from
what is best in the record of the sex,
they at the same time secure the show
ing by which they will be judged by
the world.

Tomatoes.

Why should Kentucky, or, for that
matter, any other southern state buy
canned tomatoes from Maryland? Why
not raise our own tomatoes.
The Jacksonville Times-Union tells
of a Florida town situated in a solid
tomato field" of 1000 acres, and pre-
diets that in time the farm will spread
TO 10000 acres. The land is peculiarly
adapted to the production of that vege-
table, and the growers expect to real
ize large profits.
Referring to this the Macon (Ga,)
Telegraph says: 1.-The utilization of
peculiar advantages of soil and eli
mate, abandonment of the all-cotton
practice, where possible, and diversifi-
cation of crops will bring about a great
change for the better in the south.

Women In Africa.

The women in Africa are taking on
advanced airs and trying independent
experiments that rather out-Herods the
suffragists here. A strike has taken
place among the women of the Akona
tribe, unique in plan and definite in
purpose. They protested without avail
against the treatment of the husbands
and fathers. Then they talked it over
with the preliminary of organization,
with no constitution and bylaws, and
appealed to another tribe with whom
the Akonas were not on good terms.
This tribe agreed to take in all the dis
satisfied women, and the village awak-
ened the next morning to find all its
women and girls gone and work at
standstill. The result was ready as
sent to all that the women requested
and great rejoicing when the industrial
element Of the town returned.-N. Y.

The Egg RusinesH.

1t is admitted that eggs cost less, and
bring higher prices in market, than
any other commodity sold off the farm,
and there is consequently, no reason
why one should not engage in the pro-
duction of eggs as special business.
IL is true that large number do not
succeed, but it is not because the bust
ness is at fault, but lack of knowledge
and experience. Enough money must
be put into the business to place it on
sure foundation, and the attention to
details is essential as it is the minor
matters, so often overlooked, that lead
to increased cost and smaller produc-
ton.
What we wish to impress upon read
ers is the fact that at this season,
though eggs may be cheaper than in
the winter, they cost little or nothing
in the shape of food on the farm, and
there is also but little labor necessary.
The prices of eggs may be low, but if
compared with other products of the
farm, and their cost, it will be found
that eggs are far in the lead Farm
and Fireside.

building of their own, and the secoph
followed hard upon it, when a woman
came forward with an architectural de-
sign, which was of u practical character
and capable of being adapted TO the
necessities of the ease. Upon the heels
of this came young women competing
for awards in sculpture and painting,
which have been duly executed and
form part of the solid argument which
women offer to the world In their own
behalf. So far they have been handled
with touching tenderness by the
press, and treated with genial indulg'
ehce by the community at large. Those
who visit the exposition from afar will
see with their own eyes and estimate
with unbiased judgment, and SOME 6f
them may not he endowed with the
American tolerance from what might
be called the pretensions of the sex,
They may even affirm that those who
are not fully equipped for the race
should stay out of it; but this is n tri.
fling matter; only small proportion
of the world will see the exposition,
and history win divest of hll but glory,
the individual who have been connect
ed with the achievements of the Colum-
bian year. What we have done will
look much grander in print than it does
in material realization, and 1t is worth
something to have obtained, in so sub
stantial manner, the countenance OF
the national commission; TO have been
met half way by this generous assist
ance in showing what women are do
lug, what they may do in the future;
also what they did in times past before
we began to sound our trumpets in the
streets-when it really required some
courage to come out from the mass and
do something That would draw the at
tention of the world.
If at the same time we shall be able
to show what women have not done; to
demonstrate the fact that in proportion
to the population, and the number of
women engaged in various occupations,
we are not really doing anything that
has not been done before, and could
not be done just as well without our
assistance, the lesson viii be whole
some, though it may not tickle our van
ity to the extent we could wish. And
If we shall succeed in demonstrating
the truth of that broader proposition
that there is no sex in mind and there
fore its highest manifestations must be
sexless, we shall at least have gained a
starting point from which we may adj
vance in future with less uncertainty
and fewer blunders. Bedford s Monthly.

Improved Breeds OF stock for the General
Farmer.
The question is often asked by the
ordinary farmer IL il will pay him to
invest in pure-bred sire to improve
the common stock on his farm, The
answer is very short. Yes. If boiight
at reasonable price, not only will the
stock upon the farm be improved by
the importation of pure-bred stock,
but the most marked improvement will
be in its owner, The introduction of
pure-bred stock on the farm not only
works wonders in the improvement Of
the common stock thereon, but it re-
generates and enthuses its owner with
higher motives and aims than merely
reddling out his farm by raising grain
and selling it at hardly living prices,
thus impoverishing his soil by con-
tinued cropping Until there is
scarcely a living and tax re-
eeipt to show for the years work,
That improved stock and systematic
farming goes hand in hand does not adj
init of doubt. ask the readers of
this article TO look around them in their
own neighborhood and see il the farm
ers that are dealing exclusively in scrub
stock do not also deal in the same kind
of crops, and does it not invariably fol-
low that the man that has got the vim
and the determination to raise nothing
but the best is the man that patronizes
the pure-bred stock interest, rotates his
crops and farms with his brains as well
as with muscle? 1t is not to be ex-
pected that every farmer can go into
the breeding of pedigreed live stock and
make success, for that requires con-
siderable capital and great deal of
study, but he can improve his stock and
do it cheaply, and get better returns
for feed consumed.
With the introduction of pure bred
stock on the farm, together with i'm
proved methods and advanced ideas in
the art of farming, an agricultural and
livestock paper is an indispensable ar
ticle with this class of farmers, and in
the selection of his paper he is as par
ticular as to the kind as he is in the Sc
lection of his stock, always patronizing
those that keep abreast of the times,
furnishing such news as will tend to
lifting him up to the higher attainments
in the art of farming; one that is con-
stantly warning him against the idea
of the old rut that has depleted our
soil and made slaves of our forefathers.
The live stock and agricultural pa
pers of our land have worked
wonders in elevating the farmers
and in bringing about a system of
farming that is calculated to make
farming pleasure as well as profita-
BILE business. The agricultural press
has and is doing grand work, but its
work, in the future will be far more
perceptible than in the past, in con
vincing the farmers thatentertain old
fogy ideas in regard to improved stock
and improved methods of farming.

ADVANTAGES OF FARM LIFE.
Statistics Brought to Bear In Favor oi
Rural Life

Statistics Brought to Bear In Favor of
Rural Life.
One Of the great advantages of farm
life is its healthfulness. Statistics show
that the farmers life is the most
healthy. Forty per cent of farmers
reach the age of 70 years, against IS
per cent. among merchants, SO among
soldiers, 30 among lawyers and 90
among physicians. Out of 100 farmers,
1916 per cent. die every year"
There is less of that worry that short
ems life than in almost any other occu-
patton. True enough, the farmer has
to work hard, and his business is at
the mercy of the destructive ele-
ments, the ravages of insects and
the manipulations of professional
gamblers who abnormalize markets.
but take the merchant, the banker, the
teacher, the minister, or any other
class, and it will be found that the
rank and file work hard and have
their world of cares also. There are
few in all the callings who work but
little and still draw big pay, but these
are exceptions and should not be taken
as standards
A very large per cent of all mer-
chants fail. The fact is that in the
face of the statistics of this country It
takes nerve to embark in the mercan-
tile business, if a man goes in wide
awake.
The papers show that large num-
Der of banks in several states have
failed banker told the writer that
he had a notion of quitting the bust
ness on account of the uneasiness
caused by the fear of sudden collapse.
The school teacher and the minister
have thousands of annoyances I'M
known to farm life.
What is causing more uneasiness in
this country than anything else is the
mad scramble for money. There is too
much sham in business, Too many
people are posing as well-to-do while
they are even on the brink of financial
ruin. The inordinate desire for money
causes many people to overreach. They
get in debt. They become the servants
of the money lender, and happiness
flies away. The nation, all the states,
and large proportion of the people of
this country are in debt No wonder
there is so much restlessness.
The farmers who own their farms
and pay as they go are the most indie
pendent people on earth, and, as rule,
that class are not so restless.
If the rising generation of farm boys
could see things as they really are,
they might be willing to start in on a
small scale and extend their borders as
they are able.
The boy should not expect to start in
life as well fixed" as his father is, after
working for life time.
Farm life has more sunshine, balmy
breezes, good health, bird songs, lus.
cious fruits, pure water and air, whole.
some food, than any other, and if the
farmer is ont of debt and has clear
conscience, he has less anxiety thar
people of any other calling. journal

There is no economy in continually
dosing hogs to keep them healthy; good

as more economical
1t is only the thoroughbred COW
that gives over fifty dollars year
profit. But few cows afford a profit
when the dairyman pays no attention
to the breeding of his animals
One of the most important matters
in the summer is that of providing
plenty of fresh water for the stock. 1t
will not do to compel cows to drink
from pools that stand in the fields, as
the water must be pure if the milk is to
be free from odors and impurities.
If lime is brotdcasted literally over
the poultry yards, or grounds occupied
by poultry, it will serve as an excellent
preventive of roup and gapes, and when
busted freely in the poultry house at
least once week it will drive lice
away.
There is little time in early sum
mer when even the best farmers are apt
to get rushed, because the weeds grow
so fast. Rather than let them get ahead
of you it will pay you to hire extra
help for awhile. The crops will be
enough better to pay the expense.
Lambs may be fed in small pens,
which will permit them to get at the
food without allowing the sheep to en-
ter. A mess of ground oats, given twice
day, is. the best food for promoting
rapid growth of lambs, and they should
also be kept dry at night.
There is class of farmers that
raise cows to sell to the dairymen, and
they could make their business more
profitable by using pure-bred males.
A COW that is known to be sired by a
Holstein or Jersey bull will command
high price compared with cow
whose breeding on both sides is un-
known.
The best way to regulate the quail
ty of the milk is through the body of
the COW, for then she will not be re-
stricted in food, and will give larger
Weld of milk. To get the solids into
the milk feed on rich food, of varied
kind, in addition TO that secured on the
pasture. Above all give her an album
dance of water.
