THE SERVANT QUESTION.
Ehe Advantages Which the LADY" In tho
Kitchen Enjoys.

The servant problem is ono which Is Of
universal and painful interest. The world
over the question Is the same-how to all
just the conflicting claims of servant ard
employer. 1t Is truo that bad mistress or
master isable to make great deal Of mis-
cry for persons employed by her or him,
but tho advantage Is not wholly on the side
CT the superior in social position. A serv-
ant, especially domestic servant, Is per-
force admitted to great degree Of inti-
macy in tho family. She knows its In
comings, Its outgoings, hears much of its
private conversation and Is quite likely to
discover Its secrets If 1t has any. If she is
of mischioyous or gossiping disposition,
She con create endless trouble by telling
outside what she knows, enlaIglng upon
what she merely guesses at and perhaps
supplying missing links by the exercise of
her imagination. What she says Is cred
tied because sho Is in position TO be well
Informed, and she can falsify with impu
nifty, there being 10 redress for the VIC
tins. The servant therefore has certain
advantage, If sho chooses to avail herself OF
1t, while 1t is by no means always safe TO,
the mistress or master to tell even truths,
If they aro unpleasant ones, about the EN-
ployee. A case in roint recently occurred

named yielded 453 bushels per acre and
the last 500 bushels. The average pro-
ductiveness Of all varieties per acre was
944 bushels. There was very little diff
ference in the effectiveness of muriate
