THE EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
Miss Susan B. Anthony talks of Re.
suits Achieved

Miss Susan B. Anthony, in an article
nents cf women, says: The progress
n education is so marked and SO we'll
understood as to need but little com.
nent. When, in 1851, Mrs. Stanton,
Lucy Stone and I made a demand that
girls in the state of New York should
be permitted an opportunity for col.
lege education, there was not even
high school open to them in the whole
United States. Oberlin, Ohio, was the
only college they could enter, and
there were no preparatory schools to
fit them for that institution. At the
present time they are admitted to all
the state universities except those Of
Virginia. Georgia and Louisiana, and
to all the large universities of the
Middle and Western states. The re-
cent most unwarranted and retrogres
sive action of Chicago university in
'Segregating' the women students
shows that the battle Is not entirely
Anthony says that there are now
100000 women wage earners in this
country. and that the occupations in
which they engage are with a few
exceptions the occupations OF men,
MISC Anthony says: THE laws, taken
as a whole, are by no means exactly
gust to women, but there is a steady
tendency toward justice and practi.

= The best instrument with which to
cut tobacco is a butcher knife of me-
dunn size, with a thin, sharp blade
about six inches long. The handle
should be well wrapped with old rags,
or else the hand will be made to suffer
by the continual pressure upon the
back of a hard wooden handle. The
person doing the cutting stands ver
the plant, and placing the blade of
the knife at right angles, or approx
imately so to the upper leaves, splits
the stalk to within a few inches of
the lower leaves. Then Withdrawing
the knife and grasping the plant
midway with his left hand, he in
serts the knife beneath the lower
leaves and sewers the stalk The
plant is then reversed and made to
stand in the row. Here it remains
until it willis, which requires, accord
ing to the character of the weather,
from fifteen minutes to an hour.
Should it be cloudy and rainy it will
not wilt sufficiently to handle with
out breakage until the rain ceases.
1t sometimes gets. into what tobacco
farmers call a "strut," when it be-
comes as tender as the most crisp
celery.
When the plants have wilted prop
erly they are straddled over tobacco
sticks, from five to eight plants be-
ing placed on a stick, and in this
condition they are carried to the cur
ing house. The tobacco sticks are
about AZ feet long, with an average
of some two inches wide by 112 inch
es thick, rived out of red oak or
hickory. They should be well sea-
soned before being put to use.-Col.

Bamboo Culture for Farmers.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
One of the new industries for the
American farmer is bamboo raising.
During the past few years he has
learned to raise rice cheaper than the
Chinese, Sumatra wrapper tobacco
as good as that grown in the far
east, figs that rival those in Smyrna,
and macaroni wheat comparable with
that of Italy. He is now about to
turn his attention to the bamboo and
its cultivation. This plant, contrary
to the idea of many people, does not
like Topsy, "jes grow" 1t requires
care the same as any other crop. The
profits of bamboo culture are worthy
of consideration. In Japan, where
the industry is well developed, the
proceeds amount on an average to
$50 per acre. Very few farms in this
country pay at such a rate. A we'll
drained soil, of rich stiff loan, light
ened with a mixture of sand, is neces-
sary for the bamboo. A favorite site
for the growth is the base of some
where some mountain stream has
brought down and deposited a mass
of alluvium. These situations
have the double advantage of suita-
bic soil and shelter from strong
winds. The banks of small streams,
deltas of rivers, borders of ponds,
and low, irrigated islands, will pro-
duce big forests of this valuable
plant. Most bamboos will not with
stand much drought, but if they are
supplied with plenty of water, their
leaves will keep green in a fairly dry
climate. They are hardy plants and
many of the Japanese species expe-
rience a temperature of Is degrees
below the freezing point without in
jury. In the United States thou
sands of suitable locations may be
found in California, Oregon, Texas,
and through the Gulf and Southern
States. TODD.

The value of alfalfa as a stock
feed is shown by a sixty-day winter
hog-feeding test, conducted in Kan
sas, starting with 1875 pound pigs.
Those receiving Kafr corn-meal, fed
dry, but with water at hand, gained
during the two months, an average
of 50 pounds each, while those fed
the same ration, mixed wet, gained
So pounds. Those, however, which
were fed the mixed ration of Kafr
corr and alfalfa hay gained 81
pounds, or one and one-half pounds
a day. They were fed all the corn
they would eat without waste, and
an excess of hay so that they con-
sumed of the latter only the leaves
and small stems.
"The Wisconsin Farmer" says that
not many farmers are willing OF give
up the use of their land for a year,

adopted of building up WORKOUT
lands and blowing under green crops.
Nature seems to have a way OF large

soil the fertility, which in the South
is largely washed away during the

Harvesting Tobacco.

actively kept up TO InaC perIod, anu
even beyond at intervals until every
plant has been put in the curing
house. About six or eight weeks af-
ter the tobacco has been topped the
leaves assume a yellowish, notified
color. There is a granulated appear
ance on the upper surface of the
leaves that cannot be misunderstood
by the experienced tobacco grower.
When a portion of the leaf fully ripe
is bent between the thumb and fore
finger, it snaps with a clean-cut
break.
The plants in the same field rarely
mature at the same time. The diff
ference in surface exposure, in the
quality of the soil, and in the Guilt
vation of the crop makes a difference
sometimes of eight to fifteen days in
the time of ripening. All hills that
r replanted (the first plants having
died) will carry unripe plants. Gen
orally the time of the first cutting
will find about half the plants ready
for the harvest, and these are select
ed and the immature ones are left.
If, however, the land is uniform in
fertility, the surface level, the cult
Walton in every respect equal, and
the stand of plants of the first set
ting perfect, the whole field will be
ready for the knife at the same pc
Rod.
If there should be any doubt in the
mind of the tobacco grower as to
the full maturity of the crop, it is
best to let it remain for a few days
longer, because the last few days
store up the gums and resins or fatty
matter in the leaves that make them
so valuable. The leaves attain their
full expansion in a good season in
about six weeks. After this they
thicken and grow fat under the fruc-
tifying influences of copious dews
and hot suns. The tobacco grower
should always bear in mind that
there is as much difference between
the taste and fragrance of ripe to-
bacco and green as there is between
a ripe apple, with it's sacharine
juices, and a green one with it's acid
ity.
No tobacco should be cut directly
after a hard rain, because much of
the gummy matter which is secreted
in the upper surface of the leaves,
and which adds SO much to the
weight and aroma of the cured pro-
duct, is dissolved and washed off by
a copious rainfall. Nor should it be
cut when there is probability of a
rain, for the reason that if caught in
a shower after it has been cut, it is
despatched with dirt and it's value
much impaired. Nor should it be cut
while the dew is on the plant, for
when turned over after the stalk is
severed a considerable amount of dirt
will adhere to the wet leaves. The
best time for cutting it in the after
noon, when the f~erceness of the
MONDAY heat has been tempered by
the declining sun. Every exertion

NEW TRUCKING DEVEIoPMENTs.
Cucumber Raising Pays 500 Per Acre
One Farmer Puts goo Acres in Water
melons-Tobacco in Arson.

A local item in the Observer two
weeks ago stated that in the vicinity
of Maxton, on the Seaboard Air Line
Railroad, 400 acres have been plant
ed in cucumbers for the Heinz Pickle
Company, of Pittsburg. 1t develops
on inquiry that this is only a partial
statement of the facts. It is only one
item in the great development of the
trucking interests in Richmond,
Scotland and Robson Counties,
where the land owners along the Sea-
board Air Line Railroad have made
a new departure, and, it appears, a
very profitable one The lands IN
that section are known to be the fin
est cotton lands in this section of the
South, but they have been found to
be still better adapted to the grow
ing of truck.
The centre of the new cucumber
industry is in the vicinity Of Clark
ton, where 400 acres are planted in
cucumbers under a purchase guaran-
tee by Heinz. It is said that these
farmers are sure of 800 an acre on
their cucumbers. The Maxton farm
is the individual enterprise of MI.
III. J. McKinnon, who cultivated his
cucumbers independently of any con-
tract with Heinz, and who has al
ready melted 800 an acre on his ven
ture.
The farmers around Clarkton were
slow to take hold of the Heinz pro-
ject, but under the encouragement
and personal backing of Messrs.
NELL Curry and O. L. Clarke, two
big merchants of that place, they
planted their lands in cucumbers.
The Heinz Company has built pick
ling tanks at Clarkton of sufficient
capacity to take care of all the Gu
cumbers raised. All the farmers
have to do is to deliver their product
and get their money. Then, the sea-
son for the planting and maturing
of the cucumbers being short, they
can plant their lands in a second
crop. Less labor is required for the
cultivation of this vegetable than is
necessary for a cotton crop, and the
net profit is much larger.
The raising of cucumbers is not
the only new departure of the farm
ers in that section. Much of the
land heretofore cultivated in cotton
is now planted in watermelons. In
the vicinity of Laurinburg, Mr.. Mat
thews has a watermelon farm over
ing 900 acres. Other farmers are
raising watermelons on a smaller
scale.
Still another new departure is the
cultivation Of tobacco. Morven, in
Arson County, is the centre of this
new industry. The farmers of that
section have planted their lands ex-
tensively in tobacco, and the result
is said to be encouraging. A tobacco
warehouse will be built at Morven
for the marketing of the crop. The
soil around Morvan 10 cold RI hove

HARTWELL'S LETTER.

General Hartwell has written the fol-
lowing letter in the matter of the per-
pleXities over the County Act:
While it is unlikely that Congress will
take early action, if any, about our
County Act, l see no cause for anxiety
about the act. The Supreme court if ap-
piled to, could decide a test case before
the end o fthis month. If the act stands,
very we'll; if it shall be held to be in
valid, then all existing laws remain in
force, and the former appropriation
bill would be available under Section
"a of the Organic Act, for "a failure
of the Legislature to pass appropria-
ton bills providing for payments Of
the necessary current expenses of car
rying on the government and meeting
its legal obligations IS the same are
provided for by the then existing
laws"
Nor do I see any advantage in pass
ing resolutions now one way or the
other about the rather informal in
quiry of Congressman proposed to be
made by Mr.. Hatch.
If the Act shall not be tested, all
official acts of county officials will have
the validity of de facto officers and in
volve no personal liability This COM
munity need not allow itself to be dis
quieted in these matters. SO it looks
to me.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.

Efforts are being made to induce the
Association Football League to play
their games on the base ball grounds.
The five teams comprising the league
are scheduled to play during the next
three or four weeks, a series Of
matches. This is practically the only
sport that the public will have to look
forward to during most of this time so
1t is argued that the public would be
better accommodated if the games were
to be played at the regular base ball
park and a small entrance fee of Is
