I...on. For Farmer., Daughters.

The girls on a farm should learn to
milk as well as the boys, even If they
are not expected to take full share in
such work, says The American Guilt
vator. In many countries milking is
thought to be essentially a woman's
work. not only because it requires little
physical strength when one is accus-
toned to it, but because they generally
are quieter and do not get angry with
the COW and because they are naturally
heater and the milk is cleaner. We
believe farmers daughters should
know how to milk and to harness and
drive a horse. Occasions frequently
come, perhaps in cases of accident
when it is very important that wo-
man should ride or drive horse to the
village for physician, and to find her
ignorant and helpless at such time
may cause the loss of life and life
long regret to her and to others. We
know that on many farms woman's
education goes much further than this
and that many girls and young women
can drive the team and manage the
moving machine, horse rake, seed drill
or other machinery on the farm as well
as their brothers, if they have any, and
we know no good reason why they
should not do so, as well as ride bicy-
Gle, if they will learn, though we do not
care to advocate the regular employ
ment of women in farm labor. But we
have seen woman, New England born
and bred, who could handle the scythe
and pitchfork in the bayfield, or the
pillow and hoe in cultivated fields better
than most men, and do it all day too.
Yet she was as capable of doing good
work in the house or dairy room as she
was out of doors. We knew German
in western New York whose boys
were all girls" as he said. There were
some half dozen of them, well educat-
ed, graduates of a high school in a
neighboring city, accomplished must
clans, refined and ladylike, and yet any
one of them could go into the harvest
field and do a days work that would
compare in amount or neatness with
the best of farm hands. and they were
also skilled in housework and dairy
work.

1t is proposed to establish an i'm
mense stock farm or ranch in Maine.
which will be stocked with cattle,
sheep and swine. For this purpose,
says The New England Farmer, $4,000
acres of land in Washington county
have been secured.
1t embraces an extensive plain or
high table land from 300 to 400 feet
above the sea level. There is in the
tract one plot of 10000 acres on which
there is not rock or tree, and the
whole piece can be cultivated with a
steam gang pillow.
The work of stocking the ranch will
begin as soon as possible, and within
three years, say the projectors, there
will be 10000 head of cattle on this
ranch.

Professor John A, Craig of the Iowa
experiment station explains why the
hog succumbs so INTERESTINGLY when
overheated. The man or horse when
overheated soon has his body covered
with perspiration, and the evaporation
of this at once begins to reduce his
temperature. Nature has made no such
provision for the relief of the hog when
heated by exposure to the sun or by ex-
cessive exercise. This is reason enough
why it should have an abundant and
convenient water supply, shade ana a
convenient bathing or wallowing place,
whether on summer pasturage or con-
fined in lot and have plenty Of the
green food that Is laxative and cooling.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
For +he Farmer,
Observation-Disclosures

A recent bulletin, Notes on Frost"
issued by the United States weather
bureau, defines frost and the condi-
lions which favor its formation and
states the methods of protection which
have been found practicable by actual
experiments. 1t describes how frost is
formed and the seasons, tells when to
expect it, discusses method of protec-
ing rapid radiation of heat, for charg-
ing the air with moisture or adding
moisture to the air.
The bulletin says that experiments
and observation seem to establish the
following facts: The danger of damage
from frost can be materially lessened
by placing early and tender plants in
high grounds and crests and harder
plants in low grounds and hollows.
When ground can be selected in the
lee. or to the south and east of consid-
cradle bodies of water, the danger will
be further lessened.
In dry climate small and numerous
fires, preferably of coal burned in iron
baskets. have been found to be the
most effective device used for protec-
ton against frost. Second in point of
utility may be placed irrigation. and
the practicable process which affords
the least protection in that respect ap-
pears to be the smudge fires.
In the orange growing districts of
a. off ho
effective protection against frost, while
in sections where this process cannot
be employed damp smudge fires, prop
erly handled are best adapted to gen
eral use.

Trnnsnnrent Trains

The trains to wedding dresses are
now being made of transparent ma
terials, such as chiffon, tulle and mus
lin, with Iaany flounces and plaitings
and much lace trimming. These trains
are very soft and less heavy and old
looking than brocade or satin, and
when the wedding day is over they
can be converted into the most de-
lightful of evening dresses. The same
idea is carried out in evening cloaks.

cloth or velvet. This style of trimming
should not be too glaring. The palms
should be arranged sparingly or capri
ciously. The idea enables one to make
use of india shawls that have been
laid aside in drawers and have become
faded or injured in parts. The corsage
is half of plain material and half of
figured material. The interior of the
corsage is very curved, cut up and
made with lapels over an ordinary
waistcoat.-New York Telegram.

Iowa Editorial Comment.

Sioux City Tribune: The editor OF the
Burlington Post places in nomination for
president of the State university at Iowa
City s. M. Clark, congressman from the First
district and editor of the Keokuk Gate City.
Editor Murphy has long been a warm ad-
mirer OF Editor Clark and he says that the
latter would make an Ideal president for
the university. 1t Is not likely that Mr..
Clark would accept the position If offered
to him as he refused a denomination TO con-
gress, which he could have had without
opposition, because he wanted to return to
his newspaper work., in which he has had
conspicuous literary success.
Davenport Democrat: Editor Murphy of
the Burlington Post dominates Hon. Samuel
M. Clark of Keokuk for the presidency of
the Iowa State university. The honor is
well enough deserved, but the nomination
comes a little ate-for Mr.. Clark. He has
done his share Of work for his state and it
has been good work. He has borne the heat
and burden of the day and he has a whole
stack of garnered sheaves TO his credit and
ut is time now for him to hang his scythe
and rake in the lowest fork of a green bay
tree and camp by the waters of rest till the
horn blows. The presidency of the Iowa
State university is a full grown mans job.
Samuel Clark has been that kind OF a man,
but he has done his share and it is not in
order to send him out into the field again.

Five Years of SUFFERING Ended.

CLARENCE, Ia, Feb. T.-(Spe-
cial. )-Clifford Edward Wehry, the
famous boy invalid, whose "chain
letters made his name known in
all parts of this country and Canada, died
this week after four and a half years of
great suffering.
Clifford was shot by accident when he
was 0 years old. The bullet struck his
neck and the shock to the spinal cord was
such that his body was totally paralyzed
below the wound. In his head alone he
could feel, and he was powerless to move
any of the muscles of the body below the
neck.
Medical treatment of the best was Sc
cured for him, but without avail. His
chain letters brought him in considerable
money and most of the noted specialists in
America saw his case, but could do moth
ing for the sufferer. Strapped to a wheel
chair the little fellow lived nearly five
years. Friends from far off places sent him
books and magazines to read, and in that
way he passed much of his time pleasantly.
His body, cut off from communication with
the brain, slowly withered and he was at
last set free from his prison by death.

Altogether 1t is thought they have made

substance, both said that DR.. Marston, who
testified for the defense that Hughes died of
heart disease. told them that the symptoms
were strychnine poison, but he thought 1t
was taken accidentally or with suicidal in
tent and he did not want to rake UP family
history.
Five witnesses testified to the bad repu-
tation of Il. J. Russell.
A. l.. Stinson testified he was in the bed
room with DIR. Marston the night Hughes
died.
Grace Wheeler said she was present and
saw Jesse Goude and the defendant going
to town together.
Mrs. Jennie Ward, a sister of Jesse Goude,
said she saw Lottie and sister in the bed
room together.
Mrs. Pat Hughes said she never asked
Lottie to toast bread for Vern.

KEG CREEK CALF CASE is STARTED


Farmers ngage in Litigation that
Promises to BE Lengthy.
A suit that bids fair to rival the famous
Jones county calf case is engaging the at
tention of Judge Thornell and a jury in the
district court. The suit in question is that
of Charles Deitchler against Henry Hartje,
the hearing of which was commenced yes
terday afternoon and promises to occupy the
greater part of today. Both parties to the
suit are farmers living in Keg Creek town
ship, whose farms adjoin, and the case in
wolves the value of two calves and one
yellow dog. The calves were the property
of Deitchler and the dog was owned by
Hartje.
In the spring of 1898 Deitchler brought
suit against Hartje in the court OF Will
liam Frohardt, justice of the peace for Keg
Creek township, for 800. He alleged that
a dog belonging to Hartje killed two of his
calves, which he valued at $50 and that
he had further suffered a loss of $40 by
the same dog worrying his other cattle.
Hartje's dog died suddenly from poison and
its owner claimed that Deitchler was re-
sponsible for It's death. He brought a
counterclaim against Deitchler for $25, the
alleged value Of the dog. Justice of the
Peace Frohardt dismissed both cases and
taxed the costs to Deitcnier, who at once
appealed to the district court. On cross
examination yesterday Deitchler placed the
value of his two calves at SIS and SIS,
respectively, although he had claimed $50
In his petition. He said he was willing
to deduct from The amount As cents, which
he had received for the pelts. Half of the
residents in the neighborhood of the con-
~testants have been subpoenaed as witnesses
on one side or the other and from the way
the court room was crowded it looked as
il the whole of Keg Creek was there to
watch the case. Some of the testimony
was of the most amusing character and 1t
was all the court and jury could do to keep
a straight face at times.
A motion for a new trial In the case OF
the Security Bank of Faribault against O.
