him for the rest. Let me cheer all
women fighting the battle Of life alone.
with the fact of thousands of women
who have won the day. Mary Lyon.
founder of Mount Holyoke Female
Seminary, fought the battle alone;
Adelaide Newton, the tract distributor,
alone; Fidelia Fisk, the consecrated
missionary, alone; Dorothea Dix, the
angel OF the insane asylums, alone;
Caroline Herschel, the indispensable
reinforcement of her brother. alone;
Maria Takrzewska, the heroine of the
Berlin hospital, alone Helen Chal
mers, patron of the sewing schools for
the poor of Edinburgh, alone. And
thousands and tens OF thousands of
women, of whose bravery and self-sac-
rihce and glory of character the world
has made no record, but whose deeds
are in the heavenly archives of mar
tyrs who fought the battle alone, and,
though unrecognized for the short
thirty or fifty or eighty years of their
earthly existence, shall through the
quintillion ages of the higher world be
pointed out with the admiring cry,
These are they who came out of
great tribulation and had their robes
washed and made white in the blood
of the Lamb"
Let me also say, for the encourage
ment of all women fighting the battle
Of life alone, that their conflict will
soon end. There is one word written
over the faces Of many of them, and
that word is Despair My sister, you
need appeal to Christ, who comforted
the sisters of Bethany in their domes-
tic trouble, and who in his last hours
forgot all the pangs of his own hands
and feet and heart as he looked into
the face of maternal anguish, and
called a friends attention to it, in sub
stance saying, John, l can not take
care Of her any longer. Do for her as
would have done. IL had lived. Be-
hold thy mother" If, under this
pressure of unrewarded and unapprecl-
ated work, your hair is whitening and
the wrinkles come. rejoice that you
are nearing the hour of escape from
your very last fatigue, and may your
departure be as pleasant as that of
Isabella Graham, who closed her life
with a smile and the word Peace"
The daughter of a regiment in any
army is all surrounded by bayonets of
defense, and. in the battle. whoever
falls, she is kept safe. And you are
the daughter of the regiment COM
manded by the Lord of Hosts. After
all, you are not fighting the battle OF
life alone. All heaven is on your side.
You will be wise to appropriate to
yourself the words OF sacred rhythm:
lone who has known in storms to sail
have on board;
Above the roaring Of the gale
hear my Lord.
"He holds me; when the pillows smlte
shall not fall.
II short, tits sharp; II long, It's light;
He tempers ALL"

The righteousness of calling Persia
the Land of the Lion and the Sun be-
comes apparent as soon as one enters
the country. Persia contains, maybe
100 lions, while jackasses number not
less than 100000. Within the boun-
daries of the shah's dominion ears are
trumps every time and the universal
music is the donkey's mellifluous bray.
Almost every Persian owns a donkey
and many of them whole droves. The
population of Persia is estimated at
10 1000 900 souls. Current opinion at
Teheran places the donkey population
at about the same number. Reckoning
each donkey's wealth Of ear at two
feet. twelve inches each, the aural ap-
pendages of the shah's musical toilers
would, IL laid end to end, reach 1000
miles.-Exchange

The federation of women's clubs at
Syracuse was ruled by Sorosis in the
selection of a president, and the oppo-
sition bitterly says it did so through a
Tammany system of politics. Thus
the federation is at war with itself, and
the result is an immensely of grief and
Mysteries, to be followed by the hope
less fracture of the entire establish
ment. It is singular that women can
not dwell together in unity-any more

,,nrn "a a Poultry Feed.

Much has been said for and against
corn as a feed for laying hens, chick

poultry feed and a cheap one no doubt

poultry, but all this does not disprove
the well-known fact that corn is not

more attention to supplying a variety.

ComposItIon of Soils.

Missouri Station Bulletin: The soil
Is mixture of fine and coarse material
mixed with a greater or smaller
amount of organic humus-like sub
stance, holding a variable but large
quantity of moisture in its composition.
The percentage of this organic mat
ter is usually low, amounting in our
soils rarely to more than ten in hun
dred, being more frequently only four
to five. The water reaches a higher
figure, and though Is per cent of it in
a soil will support a ripening crop,
double the amount is preferable in the
early season and more for a limited
time advantageous rather than other
wise. The nitrogen, through the ac-
emulation OF ages, is but a fraction of
one per cent and the average compos-
ition of our soils during the summer
season as follows:
per cent organic matter.
o. per cent nitrogen.
20 per cent water.
1853 per cent mineral matter.
The mineral matter is the matter
derived from the rocks that orig
mated the soil modified, as suggested
by the action OF weather and the
growth of plants. 1t consists of par
ticles of quartz sand, feldspar, mica,
and variety of mineral species, cas-
lily recognized under the microscope,
and, in addition, of clay, soluble sill
lea, simple and double hydrous sill
Gates, the result of the alteration OF
soil and the addition to it of the ash
constituents of the plants that grew
upon it. These latter, the hydrous
double silicates. are of the utmost i'm
portance to the fertility OF a soil as in
them really resides the power of hold
ing and storing up for future use the
substances for the lack of which a soil
is wholly sterile. In all discussions
of agricultural problems relating to
mineral fertilizers but three sub
stances need to be considered, potash,
phosphoric acid and available nitrogen.
The large quantities of potash and
phosphoric acid in our soils are there
fore of value; but insoluble at present
to large extent their value is n.y.
pothecated to the future. BY their
gradual conversion through atmos-
pheric and other agencies of insoluble
into soluble compounds they furnish
a steady though limited supply of plant
food for a moderate crop, but the de-
mands of modern agriculture for large
and salable annual harvests sufficient
to yield a satisfactory return over and
above their cost Of production is not
responded to. True, improved meth
DDS of cultivation will insure better
returns, but only up to a certain point
beyond which artificial, i. e., mineral
fertilizers, become a necessity. The
readily available plant food, the ac-
emulation Of centuries, has been
cleaned by our forefathers of their
fertile acres; to us the choice is left of
having time unlock similar treasures
yet in our soil and in the meantime
quit harvesting, or to supply the de-
flciencies by becoming buyers with the.
certainty of becoming to a much larger.
extent sellers of our products.

Up-Rooting Alders.-The common,

is very soft, and easily cut. ALI that is.
necessary is to dig up the side of the
clump next to the fence, and then hitch
a span Of horses to chain bound tight
ly around the bush, close to the ground.
AS the horses pull. the roots will come
into view, and can be cut off with even
a dull axe, as the strain on the roots
will make them easily severed. II IS
only the work Of two or three hours for
two men and one team to DESTROY n

down and the ground plowed and new

Now, men of America, be fair, and
give the women a chance. Are you
afraid that they will do some of your
work, and hence harm your prosperl-
ties? Remember that there are scores
OF thousands of men doing women's
work. Do not be afraid! God knows
the end from the beginning, and he
knows how many people this world
can feed and shelter, and when it gets
too full he will end the world. and,
IL need be, start another. God will
halt the inventive faculty, which, by
producing a machine that will do the
work OF ten or twenty or a hundred
men and women. will leave that num-
Der of people without work. 1 hope
that there will not be invented another
sewing machine, or reaping machine,
or corn thresher, or any new machine,
for the next five hundred years. We
want no more wooden hands and iron
hands and steel hands and electric
hands substituted for men and women.
who would otherwise do the work
and get the pay and earn the llveli-
hood
But God will arrange all. and all we
have to do is to do our best and trust
