The Saving Womer.

II we are to believe the old proverb
which says that Savings good earn
Ing" then the earning capacity of wo-
men always has been greater than that
OF men.
Oh, the saving women of this world!
The women who sit up late making
over last seasons clothes to save buy
ing new ones; the women who stealth
lily tiptOe across the floor to turn down
the gas when papa dozes over his news
paper; the women who darn huge
holes in basketfuls of stockings; the
women who have cracked teapot or
old pocket book into which they drop
stray dimes and quarters, taking the
accumulation to the savings bank with
guilty secrecy; the women who wash
out pieces of carpet to make them ap-
pear fresh and new, who turn the
trimmings on their hats and clean
their gloves with gasoline, and cut
down the clothes of Willie, aged IA,
every one!
There is another sort of saving which
might properly be termed boarding. 1t
consists in laying down rugs to prevent
the nap of the carpet from wearing, in
putting paper covers on prettily bound
books, in locking up the little girls
French doll. We read the other day OF
a woman who made plush cover for
the rosewood piano, and linen cover for
the plush. and newspaper mat for the
lnen.' We hope there are not many
women like her. In this sort Of saving
there is often an admixture Of folly.
There Is yet another kind Saving car
fare at the cost of an exhausted body,
saving lunch money and "skimping''
the table, just as IL you could cheat
nature without incurring retribution:
saving the price of eyeglasses at the
cost Of impaired or perhaps destroyed
eyesight; saving money earned by the
severe overtsraining Of mental and
physical powers. Woman is not al
ways wise in her economies, we fear,
but the verb Ito save" is certainly
feminine.-5Philadelphia Ledger.

told in the next chapter, interesting
tables for the months of June and
July being given; also another table
which shows that the annual precip-
itation for Portland, Or, for the past
81 years was 1882, while that of Bos-
ton was 41.2S, New York 43.01, and
other eastern cities surprisingly as
high. ''Soil'' and "Grain Growing"
are each given separate chapters, the
following paragraph from the chapter
on Grain Growing being of espec-
ial interest:
Cost of Wheat Production.
THE cost of wheat production in
the Inland Empire is relatively so
much Jess and the yield SO far ahead
Of many much advertising and boast
ed sections of the United States, that
actual returns from harvest fields are
often discredited by those who have
not visited the region. Under date
of November 8, 1902, Mr. John Car
penter. of Forest River. N. D., writes
that the yield in the Red River Val
ley for the year 1902 was from 5 to 35
bushels per acre: that the cost of
raising 35-bushel bumper crop was
$3.50 per acre, and that wheat at that
day was worth so cents per bushel,
uSduS Ihdt I1S IlSL PIOllt lIOlu
an acre of wheat land in the Red Riv-
er Valley that yielded 35 bushels in
1902 was $3.50. In the great Inland
Empire the cost of raising an acre of
wheat ready for market is between $5
and 81 Assuming that it is $3.50 per.
acre which according to Richard Nc
Gahey, of Walla Walla, authority on
the subject, never exceeds that amount,
in the case of Samuel Drumheller, who,
in 1902, from the uplands of Eastern
Washington, raised 40,560 bushels
from $50 acres, an average of IS BUSH
els per acre, at the market price, 65
cents per bushel, means a net profit OF
$5664, or $35.40 per acre, nearly three
times the profit of that from an acre
in the Red River Valley. To Bruce
Ferrell in the same county, who
threshed 23,250 bushels from 420
acres, an average of Sc bushels per
acre, it means a net profit of SILL
962.50. or $2S.25 per acre"

city is given special prominence.
