Signs OF Spring.

Now is the time of year that the man
that has any yard at all begins to yearn al
ter chicken coop and garden. Some
men profit by experience and resist the
temptation, others don't, and for while
are much interested, their chickens are the
best in the town and they have coop in
which the fowls can be kept all the year
round without any trouble and they will
thrive and lay and hatch all right and you
figure up and wonder why you didn't 60
into it long ago and why other people don't
start heunerys and you think you will do
so next year. And then you start a gar
den in which you calculate to raise corn
for the chickens and peas and beans tor
the table. No peas or beans or cucumbers
are so good or so fresh as those
you raise yourself and you can go right
out and pull them right up for the table and
have the satisfaction of knowing that they
didn't cost anything; and so you invest a
few dollars in garden tools and sc eds an d
finally have to put some one to finish the
spadng because your back gets crick in
it; and you buy a lot Of full bred fowls and
lot of lath and nails and borrow saw
and hatchet and for while you are happy
This sort of spring fever has struck a
good many people of all ages and condi-
tions. At last you come to figure your
profits down instead up, and finally sell
your remaining chickens for half price and
the garden is admitted to be a failure.
But we have all been there or will be some
day, unless we fight hard against it and
haye lots of resolution.
A learned American financial writer
who knows it all says. "0ur foreign
creditors cannot afford to bqy our agricul-
tural products at the inflated prices which
prevail here" Inflated prices" is good.
What do the American farmers think of
the dreadful infatious which, with the de-
| mands of comfortable living twice as ex-
pensive as they were so years ago, put the
prices OF agricultural products just where
they were from 1910 to 1857 Before this
gilt edged financial instructor undertakes
to make generslizatlons on the subject of
| finances for the people he ought to make
the experiment of raising crop of pota-
toes by the sweat of his brow and then
undertaking to market IT. He could pro
baby then and there get information about
inflated prices for agricultural products
| that would last him the rest of his life.
School teaching seems to be the most
popular of all the fields that are open to
college women. In 1890 there were in
the United States 734 women who were
professors in colleges and universities.
