burlap had been woven into a pecu-

The poultryman who has not received
from his fowls the number of eggs he
should have had during the winter
ought to make an effort to get even
during the summer, the natural season
for the hen to lay. This cannot be
done by simply turning the hens out on
the range, for they must be granted
and properly cared for. Handle them
as you would the fowls for winter egg

Dairymen should ever bear in mind

est standard and then honestly supply

supplant what is known as edge

with the low grade butter made by the

Scie nee and Farming.


If you tell the average Missouri
farmer that he ought to use little
more science in his business he will
reply that the advocates of scientific
methods are mere theorists: that they
do very well in their way, but they
can't teach a practical agriculturist
anything in his line. Robert H. Kern
st. Louis lawyer. has lately given the
conservative farmers Of Macon County
a lesson in scientific agriculture that
has opened their eyes. In settling an
estate he came into possession of some
almost worthless city property. This
he traded for some land in Macon
County which seemed almost equally
valueless. The larger part of it was
under water most of the time, and Il
good crop never had been raised on it.
Mr.. Kern called in an engineer and
had him make plans for a drainage
system. Then he called in a farmer
who understood the science of agricul-
ture and put him to work. The land
was drained perfectly. bog became a
fine meadow, and where a swamp had
been from time immemorial bumper
corn crop was raised. Now that farm
which, when Mr.. Kern got it, would
hardly have brought SIS per acre, is
worth $50 per acre. Ten thousand dol
lars worth of corn was raised on it
last year. 1t is said half the jewellers
in the Charlton bottoms are now talk
ing about hiring scientific engineers as
farm hands.-Kansas City Journal.

Women and Great Wealth.

Women and Great Wealth.
In the light of certain recent matri-
monial experiences of an international
character it is pertinent to ask what
may seem at first blush to be an i'm
pertinent question, namely, Should
women have money? Is it well to en-
barrass one of the sex with a great
fortune like that. for instance, pos
sessed by Miss Alice Thaw, Of Pitts
burg, now basking in the reelected
glory of an English or Irish title?
We are accustomed to frown upon
things English. and one of those which
we find it easy to contemn is the law
of primogeniture-that harsh law
which gives the bulk of the estate to
the eldest son and permits the others
to hustle for living. But is there not,
after all, a lot of common sense and
business shrewdness behind the law?
Your Englishman Is not sentimental
creature, but when 1t comes to hard,
rock-ribbed common sense it is diff
cult to find his superior
The Englishman has found by long
experience that the way to keep for
tune in the family Is to fasten it down
and hedge it in where fortune hunt
ers, titled or otherwise, may not lay
hand upon it by prevailing upon a
weak woman that he Is worth the buy
ing. And, alas! experience has shown
that some women are weak where a
crest or family tree or chance to
be dubbed my Lady" Your High
ness" or some Of the other titles which
are so much thought Of across the
water, and by the few on this side
also, Is offered.
There Is another kind of woman to
fortune. We mean the stingy kind, of
whom there are, unhappily, many. For
such woman can out-HerOd Herod
or out-Shylock Shylock, when 1t comes
to greedy grasp upon the dross that
we call riches. Her safe deposit vaults
are seldom opened. and then only to
put money and securities In, not to
take them out. From stingy woman
we would beg ten thousand times for
succor
Should women have money? They
are good stewards to a certain degree
But for their own sake, and for that
Of the public whom they affect, we
think the question is one to be serious.

There is nothing to prevent children
from taking up music as naturally as
reading and writing. The notes and
the alphabet should be learned at the

little songs and exercises should be
