tiers accom- m odating about rs patients.
In the rear are the dining rooms and
kitchen. All of the buildings are cons
structed of brick and are fireproof. The
Large barn is situated at some distance
quarters for the live stock and poultry.
Among the Buildings
Accompanied by Superintendent Bur-
dick and Steward d. st. Rowland, the
Herald representative made short tour
OF inspection, visiting nearly every part
of the farm.
The Sleeping Quarters
Passing first to the sleeping quarters,
the party entered one of the ward build
ings. There everything was kept in a
state OF most scrupulous neatness. Large
airy rooms, with windows from which
could be seen views OF the beautiful park
and lawns held ten to twelve beds each.
There were good hair mattresses with
erything was good and Clearly fIom top
to bottom.
Kitchen and Dining Room
From this short covered walk led to
the kitchen and dining rooms, all under
the same roof. Every modern convenience
requisite to the culinary art is provided
for the use of thescook and his assistants.
In LD6 Qlnlng loom GneTe Is an array
OF tables sufficient to accommodate all the
inmates. The rooms are cool and airy and
conveniently located with respect TO the
other buildings.
The Water Supply
Drinking water is obtained from an
arteslan we'll at depth of 270 feet. 1t is
of good quality and is pumped to large
supply tank by a small gasoline engine.
Recreation Afforded
A good reading room is in contempla-
ton by the superintendent. A room has
been set apart for the purpose, and it is re-
quested that those having books or peri
odicals to spare that they would donate
them for the purpose OF enlarging the
present one. The inmates take great pleas
ure in reading, and to those who are de-
barred from other recreation by physical
incapacity it proves a Godsend. All
packages of this nature will reach the
proper hands if addressed to DR.. Burdick
at the county farm.

An Alleged Failing That Has Deferred
WOm2n's Emancipation.
The bond of fellowship which exists
between man and man simply by virtue
of common sex is entirely absent be-
tween woman and woman It is, in
fact, replaced by fundamental antago-
nism, d vague enmity which renders
the general attitude Of feminine crea-
ture toward her kind essentially differ
ent from that of the male creature in
Identical relations. In individual cases
this feeling is counteracted by affection
or by sympathy, but apart from person
al sentiment it remains, severing every
living woman from the rest of her sex.
To great extent this arises from wo1n-
ans incapacity for impersonal feeling or
abstract emotion. In life's fray she
fights either for her own hand or, more
often, for some one man or woman
whom she loves, but rarely for the vel
fare Of her sex at large
Were it not for this strange lack of bu-
manity in her nature, the emancipation
OF woman would not have been so griev-
ously retarded If the few women who
suffered aforetime under the restrictions
which hedged in their liberty had been
able to count on the sympathy and CO.
operation Of all women, the time of
their subjugation would have been enor-
mously abbreviated. AS it was, the first
seekers after freedom met with more
opposition from their own sex than they
did from the other; nor, indeed, do thry
fare better today. Enormous change
in their social status We're effected u
an inconsiderable minority Ct women
brave enough and logical enough to i'm
press the male powers that be With the
justice Of their demands. But for their
courage they received no sympathy and
for their success not one word of thanks
nothing. in fact, but execration from
the huge inert feminine mass in whose
service their strength was spent

carry load of shot in a small bag, the
whole weighing 81 ounces, or exactly
