GIrs. Allie E. Whitaker of the edito-
| rial staff of The New England Farmer has
accomplished much good among he
constituents in a line of work which she
| herself originated-that of farm santa
ton. At grange meetings. at county
fairs and elsewhere this quiet, gentle
woman assemblies audiences of ruralists,
especially farm women, and instructs
| them in sanitary matters, wherein 1t
must be said that agriculturists are
disgracefully negligent in their homes
| Her topics include hygienic cookery,
| drainage and farm sewerage among 9th

many of the delights of country life, and
we may all wish the highest success to
| this brave, earnest woman in her cru

tho range. We may all hope the inge-
NOUS woman who devised this invention
will reap successful pecuniary returns.
