Old Woman" lie to Miss Anthony, who.
In her eightieth year, has spent her life
In endeavors for the uplifting Of woman.
We rejoice with her that it has been her
privilege to see 90 much accomplished
for woman. She recently sa;d:
The hardships Of the last half century
are forgotten as I look at the wonderful
evolution Of womanhood of this nation
From an absolute noneLity 10 the gov
eminent Of the home. the church, and
the state, woman is now the recognized
and almost an equal factor 10 what
might be called the social department Of
each. In philanthropy, in education and
culture and in the social world she takes
the lead. With the present economic
conditions women are the leisure class,
and intelligent men are beginning to
recognize the necessity Of utilizing their
great abilities 10 the law making and
lsw-enforcing departments Of the gov
eminent. When women awake to the
ultimate destiny toward which all these
changes are tending, they will rise up
en- masse to take their rightful place in
the world as the peers Of lien 10 the ad-
ministration Of it's affairs. II women
could only be brought to realize what
revolution this will bring about in 60
cial and political conditions Literally
their puriication-they would not delay
nor shirk their responsibility. That the
younger workers, into whose hands
commit the sacred trust with the great.
est confidence, may speedily bring this
to pass is my earnest wish.
Though retiring from official work,
1 shall never give up the ship while life
and energy last. The remainder of my
life, be it long or short. will be devoted
to raising permanent fund OF S5OO,OOO,
the interest Of which shall be used by
the younger generation to promote the
work Of woman suffrage.
II regret exceedingly that some
friend OF mine has forestalled me in
making the announcement Of my inten-
ton to accept denomination as presi.
dent OF the National American Woman's
Suffrage Association. I had flattered
myself that l should be able to have at
least one new point to make in my an.
nual address before the thirty-second
annual convention of the association,
but l have conflded my secret, it seems
to one too many.
1T is and has been for several years
my intention to hold the presidency only
until had rounded out my fourscore
years, in order that the younger women
who have been actually doing the work
OF the association for the last decade
might feel that they have on their
shoulders the full responsibility before
the world. While can positively ssy
that will not accept denomination,
neither myself ner anyone else can state
who will be my successor. She will be
nominated and elected by the ballots of
the three OF four hundred delegates
from the forty. five different states Of the
Union at the convention to be held in

The program was both entertaining and
instructive. It consisted OF vocal and
instrumental music aud papers on Spain
In History" "Spain's Relations to Cuba
and the Filipines,' and Poetry OF the
Late War with SPAIN" Refreshments

The child study department OF the
Lincoln woman's club met Saturday. A
very interesting meeting was held in
spite of the bad weather. The leader
gave very instructive talk on the de.
velopment Of the will. Mrs. Lucas
talked very sensibly about fiction for
children.

mans clubo Beatrice, met by special
invitation with Mrs. Maurice Deutsch,
in her beautiful home on North Seventh
street, to enjoy the program for the day,
and to attend the reception to be given
the first vice. president. Mrs. D G.. Ev-

80 soon to leave Beatrice for her home
in Chicago. Although tho weather was
exceedingly unpleasant, there was q
large attendance, and the occasion will
long be remembered by those present.
Mrs. Everett had charge Of the program,
The Government and Religions of
China" The topics were we'll chosen
and full Of interest from beginning to
end. After the program, Mrs. Deutsch,
in behalf Of the club, presented Mrs.
Everett with most beautiful gift of
American beauty roses. saying that, az
the rose was red, 80 was it symbolicsl of
our love for her. Mrs. Everett gracefully
acknowledged the gift and expressed
her appreciation of the kind regard
which the club had ever manifested to-
wards her. Our first vice president has
endeared herself to each and everv.mem.

painstaking work has won the approval
Of all, and the earnestness OF her on.

pleasant half day which her hospitality
had afforded the woman's club.
There should he more clubs for his

young ladies Of our state. We have the
Fin de Steele club at Seward studying
the history Of America in systematic

Pauperism was deplored and the con-
vention voted to discourage aims. giving
and child.begging, hoping thus to
awaken public sentiment and decrease
the number Of paupers. The following
resolution expressed the feeling of the
convention toward the home for the
feeble minded at LinCo1p, Ill.,: THAT
the Illinois federation Of woman's clubs,
now in session, expresses i.s deep disap-
poir tment that nothing has yet been
done toward the building OF additional
cottages at Lincoln for feeble minded
children. Further. that this federation
hopes that the appropriation Of 100000
by the last legislature for new cottages
will be put by the trustees to as immedi
ate use az possible, since it has been
brought to our notice that more than
1000 applications for admission to this
institution are now on file and that
many OF the children for whom these an.
plications have been made are now of
necessity inmates of poorhouses and
asylums for insape."

III Could be q Boy Again.

"If l were boy?" Alb, If / only

imagination afire. That eff Is
key to Dreamland.
If were boy, | should want a
thorough discipline, early begun
and never relaxed, on the great doc
trine of WiU force as the secret of
character. Faith in God is, | know,
true fear and not wretched terror !;
the fear which is a reverent and
holy love for loving king, who is a
father, and who is gentle as IA moth
err, and who loaths selfishness, false
hood and meanncss. If | were a
boy, | should want my teacher to
put weight of responsibility upon
me; to make me know aud feel that
God furnishes the material and the
conditions, but that | must do the
work of building my character; to
fill me with the thought that | am

Father and mother, older brother

Dor and best friend, books and peri
odicals, are good teachers. Glasses
for letter-picking and word. b uild-
ing, for difficult spelling and read

bers, for mental problems and draw

But the best class, to be earliest or
ganized and longest sustained, the
class in which "A twO-year.o old should
be an advanced pupil, the class that
never graduates, is the class in
which a boy is trained to say, II

| should play and romp, sing and

We hardly vet appreciate the full
value of the Bordeaux mixture. TO
prevent blights upon the foliage of
our fruit trees it is better to spray
even in anticipation of them, but
even after the affection begins the
injury will be stopped where it is,
and further spreading will be pre-
vented.
1t shows care, but it does not dis
play knowledge, when we see heavily
ladened branches in the orchard
propped up because of their great
store of fruit. AS soon as this over
abundance appeared it should have
been thinned out. A little expert

Where subirrigatiOn is employed
in green houses, by tiles, pipes or
crooks, the soil no longer becomes
messy or soured, compacted or water

The orchard which has been
sprayed produces bountifully, while
that on the next farm produces
nothing at all. That man will be re-
warded who begins the fashion i'm a

between the fruit grower and a crop

We not only lessen our crop, but
We injure our trees, by permitting
them to overbear. Do not be afraid

soon as you can determine the size
of the crop.

1t is safe to say that 80 farmers out
of 100 never have any right appre-
citation of the possibilities of intelli-
gent dairying. There is no need of
making butter at loss with so wide
a demand for the gilt edged article,
yet most do just that thing.
The cream which has the proper
ferment in the morning may have
quite another flavor in the after
noon. Churn when the cream il
ready. The ferments which produce
fine flavors are short lived.
Many little secrets about dairying
are being ferreted out of which the

Cattle.

Dlstillery slOp. fed beef can be
neither firm nor of good flavor. We
can compete with the famous Eng
lish roast beef" only when we fatten
our cattle as they do.
We are but giving England back
her own. The introduction of their
improved breeds of cattle to this
country during the present century
has given us the beef breeds and
those for the dairy which have made
American cattle breeding what it is,
and now enables us to compete with
the pure bred herds of all Europe in
the worlds markets.
The humane thing is to breed
hornless cattle; dehorning should
be done only in an emergency.
Horns on our cattle now are as USE
less as would be horns on our horses.
Beef can be made from the stock
ers grown on the ranges, but it is
never the best, neither is the supply
now sufficient. A class of cows
must be kept on the farlus which
produce calves with the requisites
of form and feeding qualities to be
grown into beef of the highest
quality. She should give more milk
than suffices to feed the calf, and
the calf be grown upon that which
is left after the milk has been
creamed and the family butter
manufactured. Much more money
can be thus made than when the
COW suckles her own calf. If there
is an overplus of the skinned milk
to help along small litter of pigs,
such n cow becomes in very yalu-
able sense a dual purpose animal.
The heavier beef animal has a
larger percentage of Offal than the
smaller one, and the butcher finds it
Improbable to handle it. The per-
centage of meat to live weight de-
cides the issue. Itlooks rs If even
the two year old will be abandoned
before long.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1899-01-27

Every farm should carry stock
enough to keep it up. When a
farmer engaged in grain growing or
in mixed husbandry says he can not
make enough manure to keep up his
land, he is but confessing that he is
cultivating more land than he ought.
There is no remedy for wet and
sour soils but drainage. No land,
however rich, can produce good
crops when saturated with water.
Plants and posts will not be heaved
out of the ground by the frost when
there is no water in the surface of
the ground. Where natural drain
age is not afforded, that which is
artificial can be employed to equal
purpose.
IC Is lnadvisable to ship meats,
butter and other like foods in the
same refrigerator, because they will
exchange tiavors, resulting in the
injury of all; even eggs will absorb
the flavor of the other products as
quickly as will butter or meat.
Moreover, these articles require
different temperatures for storage.
If there is piece of land on the
farm infested with noXiOus weeds or
bushes, a flock of sheep will not only
rid you of them without charge, but
will pay you for the privilege.
If a farmer has his own scales,
those who may buy feed or grain
from him will pay for what is put on
the wagon, and that which is shaken
off on the road is not his sacrifice, az
when carelessly built load is
dragged over the rough roads to be
weighed at the other end.
The farmer quickly notices the
tidiness displayed about the village
lot, or the reverse. When the
townsman drives out into the coun-
try ways he notices the same things
about the rural dooryard, and the
farm and farmer gre in the balance.
Fix up little now, while you have
time.

Sheep.

There is no question but that a
pound of mutton can be produced at
a less cost than meat of any kind; it
is freest from disease. and the most
nutritious and healthful of all ami
NAL foods.
1t is a good thing to grade up
stock, but it is better thing to Gull
out all below par; keep only the best
ewes of flock, and full blood ram
always. Persist in this selection
and provision at least every two
years, and the herd will become al
most perfect. 1t is better to give
away an inferior animal than to
breed it.
In the past. wool imported has
been found in better condition and
freer from tags, etc, than that pro-
duced here, and we can not blame
manufacturers for buying it. Care
lessness has its punishment every
time.
Sheep dislike a strong, penetrat-
ing wind more than severe cold, as
their owners do. Provide some
shelter behind which they can run,
for a wind break.
That feed influences the flavor
and quality of meat applies especi-
ally to mutton. This has been
demonstrated by gardeners who
have thrown to their focks the tops
and roots of celery from their large
hot houses or gardens.
Do not feed the sheep in the mud ;
they are dainty creatures, and want
not only sound food, but they want
it perfectly clean. They should be
fed from troughs and racks which
are kept in good order, and their
water supply should be of the best.
By crossing with a MerinO a noble
race of mutton sheep can be built up,
prime for the shambles and for the
meat market, and first in the estima-
ton of the American people.
