found my fock gave much better re-
suits by using corn slower and feeding
literally of succulent foods, such as
turnips and mangels mixed with
a little wheat bran. BY this feeding
early in the season less grain Is re-
quired, even at the time when 1t is
fed more literally, two months before
the lambs are to be dropped 1t does
not pay to work on the idea that the
sheep have gathered on the pasture
enough fat and muscle to carry them
through several months on starvation
rations.
$50 MACHINERY In the Wheat Field.
The grower who raises square mile
or mere OF wheat is constantly look
ing for machinery that will lessen the
expense Of harvesting and threshing
the crop. Fer this reason the machine
known as the header has come int
favor within few years. The header
clips the stalks Of wheat few inches
below the head Of the grain, and nc
binding is necessary. 1t cuts swat
twelve feet Wide. The four horses
which flrnish the power are hitchet
behind, and they push the machine
into the field. A self-binder is drawn
by three or four horses and cuts {
swath six er seven feet wide. A head
er will harvest forty acres a day
while the capacity of binder is fit
teen acres day. The cuttings are car
ried from the header, by an endless
belt, to a header barge, which Ii
driven beside the machine. When ont
barge Is full It is driven to the staci
and another takes its place. The ad
vantage of Binder Is that the whea
can be cut before it Is thoroughly ripe
as the ripening process will continue
in the shock. Harvesting Is often be
gun with binder and finished with
header A new machine which is beinl
tested by the farmers is a combina
ton binder and header. A header |
indispensable when the wheat Is short
1t lessons the expense Of harvesting
as the wheat goes at once into tn
stack, instead of being shocked an
then stacked.--Review Of Reviews.

Employment of Women.

OHS VI LLC ASSNANN
reau of statistics goes to show that the
United States has a lower percentage
of females employed than any other
country, IA per cent with the Nether
lands and Sweden coming next. IN
Germany the percentage Of females
employed to the total Of self-supportlng
population Is rs, while in England 1t
runs up to n. In most of the other
civilized countries the female popula-
ton. on account Of unfavorable econ
omic conditions, has to contribute In
a larger degree to the support OF the
families. In Italy the percentage Is
40, and in Austria At.
Without doubt the percentage has
changed so much in the last few years
that this country would show a much
greater percentage for 1t must be re-
membered these figures represent the
decade from 1890 to 1900. The increase
In the number of women employed,
as we'll as the number in professional
or business occupations who are FOR
themselves so to speak, Is the subject
Of constant remark.
The question must arise In the mind
of many farmers wife and daughter,
If they also are included when Stats
tics of this nature are given. With
| out doubt they are not, and yet
many certainly are among the "em-
ployed" and they spend as many houl s
too, as those in other occupations. 1t
may with truth be said that this Is
also the case with many others whose
time Is spent within the home but
that Is not strictly in the sense we
mean. Many women on the farms
of the United States are "employed''
to a greater or less extent outside the
household in the fields.
10 the Southern Woman Lazy?
An idea once obtaining In the North
about the Southern woman was that
she was languid, incompetent-lazy,i in
plain terms. There never was a great
er mistake. The mistress Of a big
Southern plantation had to be pos
sessed Of large administrative and
executive ability, and she had to exer'
else 1t very industriously. She held in
her hands, so to speak, the government
Of a small nation, and she had to sex
that its needs were met, its sicknesses
deaths, marriages, births, joys, and sor
rows had to be provided for in hel
scheme Of management and ofter
through her personal administration
was comfort and help administered. Or
the other hand, she was relieved o.
many domestic burdens which tn,
modern woman carries by trained ser
wants who took pride in the artist,
discharge of their functions. I know
of no position in modern society In an,
way analogous to hers, save that Of tn
English mistress Of a large estate
whose responsibilities are not SO grav
because she has a more intelligent com
munity under her control.-Gunton'

TURNING COWS on PAsTURE.

Every owner of COW welcomes the
time when the animal can be turned
out to pasture. Not only is the labor
and expense involved in winter feed
Ing done away with, but every cow
is expected to give the best results OF
the year when on grass. In changing
from dry feed to grass, 1t is well to
go somewhat slowly, especially If the
flow Of milk is large. The young,
immature grass, especially in early
spring. as Is well known, contains a
large amount of water, condition
commonly called washy. Wheat and
rye pastures ere of the same nature.
The dry feed ration should, therefore,
be continued and be gradually re-
duced for two weeks or more after
the grass is large enough to support
the cows.-C, II. Ecklos, OF the Mis-
sourl Experiment Station.

THE CORN SHREDDER.

One of the implements or machines
which farmers who visit the fairs have
found in operation is the corn shredder.
It is revolutionizing the use of corn
fodder, as it saves labor and prepares
the corn stalks for the use oe stock. 1t
removes the ears from the husks and
tenrs the entire stalk into shrods at one
operation, as rapidly rs the stalks can
be fed Into the machine. There are
several kinds, but every farmer should
have one, as 1t will enable him to use
the leaves, husks and stalks as so much
hay, which can be baled, if necessary.
When fodder Is thus prepared the cat
tie will not reject so much as usual,
and the shredded fodder uneaten is
suitable for bedding or as an absorbent
In the manure heap. The saving in
feed by the shreddlng Of the entire
stalk will be an addition to the profits
of the farm, and also enable the farmer
to keep more stock.

PASTURE FOR SHEEP.

II we have been fortunate to have a
great many. more lambs than ewes,
and some are not supplied with milk,
you can aid the eve by feeding the
lamb cows milk, good Jersey milk, as
I feed the young lambs, so as to push
them right along and get them on the
market as early as possible. I have
used for the past few years what 1
call lamb feeder. 1t is n tin pail
with tlght-fitting cover. that viii
hold one gallon of milk. On one side
nre three sprouts soldered on near the
bottom Of the pail and extending out
ward as high as the top of the pail,
made SO that the rubber nipples can
be put on. By feeding them a few
times from a bottle, which is more
convenient to teach them at first, they
quickly learn to be on hand for their
milk when they see you coming with
the pail. Give them all they will take
of this Jersey milk every morning and
evening. By feeding in this way they
get no setback. but grow equal to the
best ones.-R. L. Roberts, in The Guilt.

BUTTER FROM A SMALL HERD

Our milk is separated as soon as
possible after milking. The cream is
cooled as quickly as possible, and kept
at temperature Of about fifty de-
grees until about twenty-four hours be-
fore churning. Then I warm IT to
seventy degrees, and keep it as near
that as possible until shortly before
churning, when I cool 1t to about sixty
degrees. We are making at present
about forty-two pounds butter per
week, and pack it in pound Jumps. At
present time we are milking six COWS,
hut usually milk more than that and
sell again in the near future. Our
cows are mostly grade Jerseys. They
are fed silage twice q day, with hay
at noon, and corn meal and cottonseed
twice q day.-Mrs. e. V. Winn. in

WATER FOR THE COW,

Experiments show that n COW when
in full flow of milk drinks from 1900
to 1000 pounds of water per month,
the average quantity, determined by
testing n herd, being 1860 pounds per
cow. This fnct shows the Importance
of an unlimited supply OF pure water
at all seasons Of the year. In every
1O0 quarts OF milk the farmer sells
about ejghty-eight quarts Of water, and
when the COW cannot procure water
at all times she will full off in yield.

USE FOR TATToOlNG.
II Serves for Identification of Foreign.
ers in the Banks.

II would be up against it if it we're
not for the habit that large number
OF foreigners have of tattooing them
Selves" said the cashier of one of the
Canton banks. Some of their sigma
lures may be all right, but for the
purpose of identification, tattoo marks
and scars are much more convenient.
Most Of the new arrivals start an ac-
count, and instead of relying on their
signatures we use q modified Bertil-
lion system. We locate a certain
scar, which is described on our books,
and 1t is a common thing to have
them come in and brush back their
hair or roll up a sleeve as they enter
the door. We have but to glance at
them and at the Identification slip,
when we are sure that they are the
right persons. A scimiter is a COM
mon mark, but it is scarcely in the
same place twice, so it causes no
confusion"

ADVANTAGE OF BREED.

AS a proof of the advantage of breed
and the excellence of individual MEM
bers Of a herd 1t may be mentioned
that all attempts to change the quail
ity of the milk of COW by the use
of particular foods have failed. The
quantity may be increased or dimin-
ished by the amount or kind of food,
but each cows milk will be different
from that OF the others, and with the
same treatment one cow may yield
milk containing twice as much butter
fat as those in the same herd with
her.

DRAINAGE.

One Of the most important means Of
controlling the percentage OF soil mofs-
ture fs by drainage. Tile drainage
tends to looren the soil, so that the
rainfall is carried down through the
soil, instead OF being washed of the
surface In surface drains. It tends to
break up large complex soil grains,
