To Help Mill Girls.

Shorter hours would do a great deal for
mill girls. They would have more time
for amusement, that recognized human
need. more time for culture to relieve the
deadly monotony Of their working hours
and especially more time to learn the lit
tie arts of thrift and economy so neces-
sary for women. Very few of them know
how to sew, to make or even to mend
their clothes Their ignorance of house.
hold matters and of cooking is dense
All this is bad enough for themselves
as girls, but when they marry their ignor-
ance affects husbands and children as
well. Badly cooked food and a dirty
house too often drive to drink and the
many miseries that follow in it's train.
Those who teach and help the mill girls
are hampered and baff1ed by the fact that
they have no time to learn, and that the
wearied body and dulled brain fall per-

wherever mans social opportunities
have been most limited" says Miss Clare
de Graffenreid, industrial and political
progress has been slowest. Wherever
women and children are condemned to
excessive toll. where the fatal industrial
policy prevails of sacrificing human lives
TO produce and accumulate wealth, in
tead of the broad and humane policy of
using wealth to save and improve human
lives, there the homes are always most
miserable, their reign illiteracy, pauper-
ism and vice. Each reduction in the
hours of work, from sixteen to fourteen,
from fourteen to twelve, from twelve to
ten. have occasioned immediate and enor-
nous Improvement in the condition of
the laboring classes. Shorter hours tend
not only to provide occupation for mill
ions of unemployed, but will stimulate
production and widen our markets by
multiplying wants. They will make edu-
cation possible and cOnduce to a higher
moral and social development in the
ome.'-EIizabet MOrris's Mill Girl"

Growing Corn.

1t is indispensable in growing corn that
three things should be looked after: A
fertile soil, good cultivation, and plenty
of moisture. The first two the farmer
can furnish readily, and for the next
we must in most sections depend on
nature. Having the soil in the best posi-
BILE condition is the first requisite. This
does not mean that it should be smooth
over the top, but ii must be fined deep
as plowed. for a hard lump into which the
feeder rOOtlets cannot penetrate is of no
more use to a plant than stone Of the
same size would be. If the cernfield is
prepared thoroughly. most of the after
work is made easier.
After the cultivation begins 1t should
be kept up as constantly as possible. The
first time the plow is run through it may
be set 10 run deeply, but after that the
cultivation should be shallow, as the
corn plant is a tropical one and has
many roots that run near the surface of
the soil If possible, the field should be
stirred every time there is a rain, and
as sOOn after as the land can be worked
and fall loosely from the pillow. This Is
important at any time, and of special
Importance If the weather has been I'M
usually dry. for the two or three inches
of loose soil act as mulch to keep the
water in the soil from evapOrating too
rapidly; al the same time the loose soil
Allows the dir 10 penetrate II TedOlly, ana
as 1t coOls, the dew laden air Of the night
enters and it's moisture is absorbed by
the soil. helping to economic the supply
and benefit the crop.
Another important thing is that the
stalks should not be too closely grown
together. We have found that in drilling
stalk each foot is enough, If the rows
are from forty-two to forty-four inches
apart If hill planting is followed not
more than three stalks should be al
lowed TO stand. This, we know, is a
smaller number than most of farmers
allow to stand, but a good stand with
three stalks in each hill and the hills
forty-four inches apart each way will,
we believe, produce fully as many
bushels of good, sound corn as four
stalks in a hill. A very shallow cultivat-
ing, just the silks begin TO shoot, has
proved profitable to US on more than one
occasion, and it leaves the field clean of
much of the after growth that usually
springs up after the corn is laid by
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

The Poorest Girls.

The poorest girls in the world are
those not taught to work. There are
thousands of them. Rich parents have
petted them, and they have been taught
to despise labor and to depend upon
others for a living and are perfectly
helpless. The most forlorn women be-
long to this class. 1t is the duty Of
parents to protect their daughters from
this deplorable condition. They do them
a great wrong if they neglect it. Every
daughter should be taught to earn her
own living. The rich as we'll as the poor
require this training. The wheel of for
tune rolls swiftly around-the rich are
likely TO become poor and the poor rich
Skill added to labor is no disadvantage
TO the rich and is Indispensable 70 the
poor. Well-to-do parents must educate
their daughters to work. No reform Is
more imperative than this.-London Cen
tlewoman.

BE Economical.

A great deal of unnecessary expense
may be saved in housekeeping without
depriving the family of the best the mar
ket affords by a systematic course of
borrowing prime articles Of butter, tea,
coffee. etc. from the neighbors and re-
paying the same in goods of an mex
pensive character. or the act Of repay
ment may be neglected altogether with
proft-for limited period. AS general
thing, however, it is good economy to
meet ones debts of this kind in the man
ner that has been suggested.
1t is far better to pay the butcher than
the doctor. Therefore. if a member OF
the family fall i'll. it is clearly improvi-
dent to waste money in the employment
of a physician or upon drugs and medi-
cines. Instead rather spend the money
upon prime cuts of meat and artificially
raised fruits and vegetables. If the sick
person cannot eat these luxuries, the
well ones including yourself. can eat

All Around the Fnrm.

Never sell good COW unless at a price
for above her worth. Sell the poorest and
keep the best.
A hog pasture without shade is almost
as bad as a barn without a roof 1t is
not in the interest of the farmer to COM
pei the hogs to endure the heat of the
sun. They prefer the shade at times and
thrive better when they can get it.
The better condition in which the farm
tools are kept, the less effort is required
on the part of teams, and on the part of
the workmen also; yet farmers will use
their implements a whole year without
sharpening them. No other mechanic
would.
To prevent rabbits and worms from
harming trees mix together turpentipe
and hogs lard and apply on the trees.
This kills the worms in the tree, keeps
the eggs from Matching and prevents the
rabbits from gnawing- The lard kills
the rabbit and the turpentine kills the
worm.

WastefuI Farmers.

The wastefulness of the West is pro-
verbal The matter Of fertility Of the
soil is a notable example We in the West
waste untold quantities of fertilizers that
would be carefully utilized were it avail
able in the East. In many portions of
the West this soil robbery has become
practical question. 1t will not be long
till it will be universal AT the Kansas
experiment station the farm superin-
tendent has been studying the subject
and these are some of his conclusions:
Has your attention ever been called
70 the fact that when you feed a thou
sand bushels of corn to a lot of steers
you waste 500 bushels Of that corn? That
Is the case if you do not save the ma
nura which comparatively few western
farmers do. The waste is really greater
than that, for the animal system apprO-
PIRATES 20 pei cent. Of the elements in the
feed; the rest is expelled in the manure
partly as undigested material and partly
as broken down tissues which have been
replaced by the portion that has been
assimilated. So it is entirely safe to say
that so per cent. Of the elements in the
feed are voided in the manure. Out of
every thousand bushels OF corn fed the
manure then contains the elements (the
nitrogen the potash and phosphoric acId)
necessary for the reproduction of the
f-rain In 500 bushels Of corn. Are you in
kre habit Of allowing this amount of pro-
ctIve force to go TO waste? You may
not feed steers, but the same is true Of
he feed Of all other classes of animals
4 dairy COWS, horses, hogs and poultry:
IT least 80 per cent. of the plant food
contained in the feed they consume could
be saved and employed as a force In the
reproduction Of feed or other farm crops.

As it was 1 decided to sell the little old
home and come to New York to study
medicine. Taking the advice of friends,
1 put my small patrimony out at interest

October entrance examinations at a

There is nothing that so strengthens
the tie existing between children and
parents as to have the latter keep young
in ideas. The father and mother who
drift into middle age with only a super
vising interest in their boys and girls
affairs will never know the JOY Of soul
communion they have missed by not en-
tering personally into all the little pleas
ant happenings that appear perhaps
trivial TO them. but are Of great moment
to the younger generation.
There is nothing so sad as a family in
which the heads have fallen behind In
those topics and events that the children
are daily studying and taking part in.
The great gulf of an entire generation
stretches between. and yet this need not
be if from the time the first baby appears
the desire is to keep young for the little
ones sake. 1t only needs few minutes
every day given to the newspapers or
some book under public discussion. 1t
only needs a little less devotion TO
kitchen ard sewing, a little less alb
SOrption in the stock quotations or
politics and a little more time given to
dressing well, to interchange Of thought
and more plans for the home 10 be a
place where they can enjoy themselves
rather than an abode so faultlessly neat
that the word don't intertwines itself
on every comfortable chair and in every
coy nook and corner.
Not only will the children enjoy this
life more. but to the older heads and
hearts the systematic endeavor to keep up
with the times will act like an invigOr-
ating tonic, and they will forget that
the years are speeding on, and that the
babies of former days are now men and
women, for in that pleasant circle where
father and mother are always welcome
gray hairs or furrOwed brows do not in
dictate age so long as a youthful heart
reposes in the bOdy.-Philadelph Times.
