clothes with great magniticence and

The Importance of cutting meadows
early has been repeatedly urged by the
agricultural press. Many farmers
argue that while they would be glad
to cut early 1t is better for them to cut
later and suffer the loss in quality con-
sequent upon late cutting than to cut
early and perhaps lose the entire crop
because the weather will probably not
permit them to cure it. An exchange
suggests that those who feel this way
and who realize the value of early cut
clover hay as compared with that
which is cut later in the feeding of
young, growing stock or dairy cows
would do well to consider hay caps
to assist in curing. A yard square of
cheap muslin properly oiled, with
string tied to each corner to which is
fastened a stone or other weight to pre-
vent the wind from raising it, will pro-
tect from sudden showers quite little
amount of clover hay, and If a sutfi-
Client quantity Of these are provided
much of the objection taken to early
cutting because of the difficulty of cur
ing will he done away with. Caps of
this kind are inexpensive and will last
for years If properly cared for after
haymaking is over. When stored, they
should be laid out fiat on top of each
other ana not folded, otherwise the oil
ed cloth will have tendency to crack
Mt the folds.

Timber cut for purposes where dura-
bility is consideration is worth from
two to four times as much if cut be-
tween July Is and Aug. 10, as the same
would be cut in January to April. If n
tree is cut after the starch which en-
tiers into its chemical composition has
changed to sugar, say in March, the
worms being very fond of this sweet,
become destructive to the wood, but if
cut in July, after the completion of
the spring growth. there is no sugar In
the sap or wood. and they seek some
more savory food. Another reason is
because If cut when the sap is rich in
sugar the fermentive process changes
the sugar into an acid, which is the
very first stage of decay.
Timber land cut off in from January
to April will sprout and grow again
because the sap ut this season of the
year Is rich in sugar to reproduce the
leaves, which are the lungs as well as
digestive organs Of vegetation. but if
cut the last of July or the first half Of
August dies because deprived of both.

stroy certain kinds of trees or TO clean

THE HAY HARVEST.
Hints For Tightening Labor and
Saving Time.


Plenty Of help and tools tend to
Tighten hard work in haying and har-
vesting. An extra man at just the right
time for one or two hours may mean
the saving of one or two loads of val
liable hay. With good stand of grass
1t does not take long to cut down few
loads, but with threatening weather 1t
Is sometimes quite task to secure the
hay in good shape.
All tools should be thoroughly over
hauled and put in good condition. New
sections and rivets for the moving ma
chine and some extra guards should be
obtained as well as few bolts of va
rious sizes, SO as to make as little delay
as possible in the case of breakdown.
The guards should be Sharpened as
we'll as the knives, especially if there
is any thick, fine grass to be cut. On
small farms two wagons are usually
enough to handle the hay The forks
should also bc cleaned up and the tines
sharpened
Start the moving machine as early
in the season as possible, as early cut
hay is worth a good deal more for feed
ing. DO not cut any grass while wet
with dew or rain, for it will dry much
quicker when standing than after be-
ing cut. The mower should he started
as early in the morning as the grass is
dry and run for few hours. Then

the sun and as soon rs fairly dry begin
to draw to the stack or barn. Clover
and oat hay will need sometimes two
or three days of good weather in which
to cure.

little hay Is drawn on wagons. 1t is
cut and cured in the usual way, and

TurnIn Sowing.

To be valuable either for the kitchen
or for stock turnips should be grown
quickly. This means good soil and
plenty of moisture. Good soil does not
quite mean rich soil, though richness Is
an important element More impor-
tant, however, is good filth. produced
by frequent previous stirring. This is
the reason that turnips do well on po-
tato ground from which early potatoes
have been removed.
In the cool. moist climate of the
British isles turnips are usually sown
In spring. Here, with our much higher
summer temperature, it is best to de-
fer the sowing until July or August.
This leaves but short season for
growth, and hence the necessity for
the best conditions of soil.

The Question of Rights.

A distinguished statesman recently
said: THE recognition of the rights of

If the recognition of the rights of the
Cubans by resolution did not create

when We're they created?
We turn for answer to the immortal
Declaration that AL men are
endowed by their Creator with certain
inalicnable rights" If the rights of the
Cubans are inalienablc and existed he.
fore the resolution recognized them, do
not the rights of women exist in the
same way, though they have not been
recognized by resolution?
More than quarter of a century ago
the rights of the negro were under con
sideration. At that time woman, who
had so greatly contributed to the Sc
curing of his freedom from chattel
slavery, modestly asked that, while his
political rights were being defined, the
rights of woman might not be overlook
ed, but conservatism and prejudice said
to her: "Stand aside. This is the ne
gro's hourw She gave place to him
then, but in all these years since he
was enfranchised her hour has not
struck
Now that our country has acquired
some new territory, the rights of the
men of these possessions are considered
all important, and it is declared that
the rights of these men have existed
from their birth and therefore must be
recognized. Yet the rights of women
have existed by the same logic from the
beginning. but the resolution of recog-
milton has never got beyond the com
mittee room.
How long must woman yet wait until
she comes into possession of her own?

An Industry For Country Women.

Still another outlet has been found
for unemployed energy through the
efforts of young woman at Pc
Quaket, n. H., in establishing the Alb
nakee rug industry. Urged by desire
to give employment to the women of
that remote mountainous district and
finding they could do nothing except
make the common hooked rug, which
as usually executed is ugly of pattern,
crude in color and unpleasant under
foot, she set herself the task of ele-
waiting the hooked rug, for she saw
possibilities Of artistic results that
their rude methods had not developed
She bought new all wool materials,
furnished original designs, dyed the
goods i'll the warm, neutral tones seen
in oriental rugs and trained her work
ers after method of her own. The
result was a complete metamorphosis
Of the hooked rugs, constituting a dis
tinct departure in American industry,
as they are unlike any product before
offered. In texture they are as thick and
soft as the heaviest velvet carpets
and have considerable sheen, and as
they are handmade they can be varied
in color, pattern or size to meet any
requirement. The work speedily grew
beyond the original plan of making
rugs for floors Crests and coats of
arms upon wall rugs are executed as
well; also wall rugs with ieweled eff
fects in the borders, porteres, couch
covers and chair covers are made to
