THE SOCIAL SECRETARY.
osefui Functionnry Found in Some
of the Big Department
stores.

1t is depressing to feel ones self
only one of 500 employes--and not an
important one. 1t is natural that such
one is being sighted or overburdened
or possibly prosecuted. When imag-
ination goes to this length work suf-
fers as well as the worker. To save
them both some of the great depart
ment stores have engaged discreet and
tactful women whom they call social
secretaries"
The social secretary is an inter-
medlary between the employer and the
saleswoman, and her duty is to keep
them both from making mistakes,
says writer in the Youths Compan-
ion. She is not expected to'overlook
wrong-doing, but neither is she de-
sired to remain silent when she thinks
an employe is unjustly treated She
has authority to send a delicate girl
home early on stormy day. She can
recommend a clever girl for promo
ton. She is qualified to mother" the
sick and encourage the sensitive, and
she must be brave enough if occasion
arises to tell her employers unpalata-
BILE but whole some truths.
We hear of one social secretary who
organized among the saleswomen IAN
insurance club, a mutual benefit asso-
citation and a social club that arranges
for summer outings and winter par
ties. Another hunted up quiet farm
house home for girls who were tired
or i'll, and sent them there, and kept
them there until they regained health.
But the social secretary's best work
is done in meeting the little needs of
every day and advising her associates
for their physical intellectual and
moral good. The firm" may seem re-
mote and inaccessible, but this Just
and sympathetic woman stands very
near.
Wherever the experiment has been
made, apparently, the social secretary
has become a fixture. Efforts like hers
profit the employer a well as the en-
ployes, because they directly promote
that spirit of willing service which
adds so much to workers value. Once
convinced that she is not held in dis
dain or viewed as simply part of
money-making machine--that she is
the object of goodwill and kindly re-
membrances-the girl in the depart
ment store solves her personal labor
problem as we all may solve our own,
by doing her best work and doing it
cheerfully.

HERE AND THERE,

Hogs should never sleep under the
corn crib, or under any building what
ever. Dust and parasites will abso-
lutely ruin their chances of future
usefulness.
The cow-pea is so valuabl as a
food crop for both man and beast, AMI
so wonderful in its effects as fer
tilizer, that we feel justified in calling
attention to it in season and out of
season.
There is some complaint that the
price of corn is too high to feed to
pork hogs for market. Well, that de.
ponds on where the hogs are. In the
southwest. where green feed can be
had all the year round, it doesn't
make much difference.
The rice trust, organized for con-
trolling the rice crop of the south
west, seems to have crawled into an oil
well and pulled the well in after it.
At least no one knows what has be
come of it. i is possible that it was
all water and that it evaporated.
Vicious sheep should not be pei
mitted to run at large, as they ar
liable to destroy many valuable Gu
dogs; and even children are liable tt
be bitten by lambs, while on their
way to school. A stringent sheep law
is required by the eXigencies of the
case.
Hens are great creatures for
grass and fresh vegetables; they seem
to never tire of the former, especial
ly in the spring OF the year when it
is young and tender. 1t seems to be
necessity with them, if best results
in the way of laying are to be OBJ
tanned.
Farm horses should go barefooted
until there is a necessity for shoeing
to preserve the hoof. Like farm boys,
they should wear no shoes except on
special occasions, until they are about
fourteen years old. Many horses can
serve a lifetime ON the farm without
being shod.
Animals are machines like mills,
designed to convert raw material into
marketable products. Put nothing in,
and you get nothing out. Feed liber-
ally and wisely, and the animals will
grind out milk, meat or eggs( accord
ing as the animal has four legs or
two) in quantities that will make tbs
feeder clad.

10 eXterminate garlic in small
patches of ground such as lawns, a
good plan is to put few drops of
carbolic acid on each bunch by means
of a machine oil can. Often a single
drop will kill garlic plant. Some
say the acid will kill the plant when
applied in winter, when the ground
is frozen. When | was in Washington
city two years ago last spring, not a
plant of garlic did l see in the White
House lawn, and l have since learned
that the pest was destroyed there
with this acid in the manner above
stated. When it has become estab-
Hshed in a pasture it is thought the
only sure and feasible way to destroy
it is to turn the sod over and rid the
land of it by cultivation and the
smothering process. Lime the up-
turned sod and sow field peas and
oats. After this crop is off keep the
land worked with cut harrow until
time comes to sow crimson clover,
which is about July or August. Then
seed the ground with clover or. pre-
ferably, rye. This twin crop NAV be
plowed under for late crop of corn
or cut for fodder in time for potatoes.
BY the end of the second season the
garlic will show signs of final decay.
and land may again be seeded in Oc-
tober to bluegrass or pasture grasses
of some kind.-T. II. Richey, in Epi-
tomist.

THE HORSE FOR RIDING.
Every Year is Showing a Greater
Demand for the High Glass
Saddle Horse.

In the days of Washington, the best
horseman of his time, travelling in
land was a serious matter. The water
courses We're used as far as possible,
but they gave access only to n limited
region, and the moment the traveller
left their banks he was confronted
with roads, stretching away through
deep forests, full of mire in the shad-
ed spots and rough in the open coun-
try. Streams We're crossed by wad-
ing through the current. Journeys,
therefore, were more comfortably
and rapidly performed in the saddle
than by wagon. The settlers were in
the habit of riding to town on week
days, with their bags of grain to be
ground and on general marketing err
rands, and to church on Sundays, on
the backs of the Flooding horses,
which at other times, were engaged
In the work of cultivating the farms.
The longer journeys were always per-
formed on horseback, when comfort
and comparative speed were demand
ed. The mails were carried in the
saddle also. In these later days of
high civilization, the farmer drives to
town and church in comfortable
carriage over smooth and hard roads.
The mails are carried at lightning
speed by railroad trains, and travel
ers are transported by steam convey
ances t. every part of the land. Horse

The northern states; and the little
there is left of it is substantially con-
hned to the minister and doctor visit
ing their country clients and the re-
mote farm boys who go down every
Jay to the railroad station for the
newspapers and letters.
In the south there is more general
riding than in the north, but it is
growing less yearly. 1t is in the army
ana among the cowboys on the plains

culiarity of the ears of tigers which
he thinks may be classed under the

FARMER AND PLANTER.
THE CULTURE OF PECANs.
A Most Profitable Product for Farm
ers tn Invest In for Fu-
ture Results.

The pecan is one of the most profit
able nuts that can be grown in the
southern and western states where
the soil and climate are both adapted
to such trees. The tree begins bear
ing at an early age, and continues
for an indefinite period without re-
quiring much care in pruning. Paying
crops may be harvested when the
trees are from eight to ten years old.
The trees will yield from one bushel
to twenty every year during the life
time of the planter. The nuts are
always in demand at prices ranging
about one dollar per bushel when
sacked or barreled for the market.
AS the trees may be set as closely
as an apple orchard, there is certain
ly money in the planting of such IA
grove, in addition to the value of the
timber, which is equal to almost any
of the hard woods Tor commercial
uses.
The trees are native to the coun-
try south of parallel 40 in the United
States, and are rapidly coming to the
Texas, Kentucky and Missouri are
noted for wild pecan growth. but the
commercial world is supplied almost
entirely from Texas, Louisiana and
California
The soil best adapted to pecan cul-
ture is probably the sandy loan of
river and creek beds, where there is
af 4
food necessary for hard wood trees.
Experienced men report sandy loan
with clay subsoil the best, while the
black lands of swamps comes next
in Importance. The clay soils give
earlier crops, but the nuts are small
and unsala BILE.
Pecans may be propagated from
seed, which can be planted the same
as other nuts. Probably the quickest
and cheapest plan is to transplant
nursery grown trees. They may be
purchased at reasonable prices from
those having nut trees for sale.
Small ones are the most prefera BILE,
as they will live better. Forty feet
apart is wide enough to plant the
trees. This will give 40 trees to the
acre, and insure from 200 to 1000
bushels of salable nuts ever year
after the trees come into good bear
ing. Clean cultivation is necessary for
the first few years after planting a
grove. If the space between trees is
planted to COW peas, velvet beans,
melons or similar crops, and COM
plete fertilizer used on the cover
crops, the trees will hasten to ma
turity and become profitable in few
years. AS the trees develop the cul-
tiyation between rows may cease, but
it is nece ssary to continue feeding
the old trees with plant foods.
There are several varieties of pc
cans coming from improving the old
native trees. The Stuart, Van Deman,
Centennial and Frotches are the most
popular. The points to be consid-
cred in planting any varieties are the
quality in favor, plumpness of kernel
and soft shell. Trees should be plant
ed so as to assist in fertilzing the
blossoms OF those that otherwise
would not bear fruits. Sometimes
grating of superior varieties is sue
cessfully accomplished, but it is bet
ter to get only first class trees in the
start and care for them properly, and
thus be insured good profits when
they bear.-Joel Shoemaker, in Farm
ers' Home Journal.
