JAPANESE WOMEN
AS HOUSE SERVANTS
BY Lady Henry Somerset.


LONDON. April so-A new phase OF
the Far East question has arisen in
the fact that the news has come that
3. large country house near London is
entirely served by japanese servants
The news was eagerly read by hundreds
of women who hailed the announce
nent as the solution of the difficult
servant problem and it was a severe
disappointment to ind that these
Japanese girls were specially brought
over by their mistress and that no
established agency in this country has
been able to secure any candidates for
English service. The japanese girl is
too happy in her own land to wish to
leave it, but If she. were. TO evince any
desire to do so it IS believed that the
Government of that country would
Immediately interfere. The girls,
however. who are at work in this
particular house have proved the ex-
traordinary superiority OF the East
ern over the Western in domestic Ia
Dor. quick, bright, clean intelligent,
they appear to foresee every want be-
fore it has been expressed, the only
difficulty apparently being that the
japanese girls see no reason whatever
why they should not join in the con-
versation Of the family circle while
they are supplying their material
needs

SELLING THE GRAIN CROP.
Lines Along Which Farmers Should
Work Together Seriously to Their
Mutual Advantage.

We have from time TO time urgel
our readers 10 put their products in
good condition b.fOre putting item Oh
the market, and then u use the pre-
eau Ions necessary TO secure returns
according 10 the merit OF the article
The hum OF the thresher is now heard
In the land, aid there will be much
grain hauled direct from the machine
TO the elevator at whatever price the
elevator man may choose 10 Offer.
This is not saying that the elevator
man can afford to pay more under
present condi ions The fault we have
10 mad 10 wltn the conditions OF
marketing grain as they exist over a
large part OF the country. AS these
are the outgrow OF the practices Of
farmers the latter must look To them
selves for the remedy.
The particular evil we refer TO is
the very common practice OF grain
dealers Of paying one price for the
different grades OF one kind OF grain
This is a great injustice to those who,
by reason Of better methods of farm
ing and better care of crops, supply
an article that is more free from weed
seeds and is in other ways OF a quail
ty superior to that OF their more
shif,less neighbors. Such a practice is
poor encouragement for a man to try
to improve the quality OF his output
This is a point. however. says the
Prairie Farmer, on which the enter.
prising farmers in community can
work together TO Their mutual advan-
'age. They can put their product In |
first-class condition and II the home |
buyer will not pay a satisfactory in
crease in price over the poorer grades
they can ship to a central market with
the assurance that they will get the
top price there.
IL is much less trouble for the buyer
to pay an average price for all grades.
as he is in no danger Of loss through
an error Of judgment as to quality.
Also II relieves him OF the disagreea-
bic task Of demonstrating TO the man
with the poor grain why a neighbor is
entitled TO a higher price than he is.
The grain dealer naturally slipped
into his present practice as the east
est way out Of difficulty and. as we
said above, We see no remedy except
for the progressive farmers 10 take
the reins into their own hands. Until
they do this they will continue 10 suf-
fer at the expense Of the man who
lets his farm grow up to weeds and
his grain spoil in the shock ard bin.
so long as the present practice con-
tinues will they be robbed to replen-
ish the pockets of the unthrffty and
Perhaps the worst outcome Of all
this IS the tendency such a practice
has Of getting farmers, In general.
into careless habits. We say "ln gen.
eral" because there are always a few
farmers in any community who will
be careful and painstaking whether
here is a prospect Of immediate re-
or not But the average
nan requires a little stimulus in some
-orm to keep him up to his best In
his regard.

past year or two he has noticed his

sometimes swallow and sometimes al

About Unfinished Sections.

After the honey flow has stopped the
unfinished sections that only have a
little honey in them will soon be
cleaned up by the bees without destroy
ing the comb. if covered up near the
hives, leaving room for only one bee
to 90 in or out. When given a larger
entrance they destroy the combs, which
are worth saving for starters next sea-
son. When there are many sections
not capped over, or half filed or more.
they may be sold at a reduced price. or
converted into liquid honey by melt
ing slowly. After cooling remove the
cake Of wax. A warm. dry. sunny place
where the temperature stays around the
ninetes is an ideal place for storing
honey. Cold and dampnees cause honey
to become watery and sour.-Ohio

GOV. BAcHELDER'S VIEWS.
He Demands National and State Aid
for Roads as q Matter Of JUS
tice TO Farmers.

New Hampshire is one Of the states
which is making rapid strides In the I'M
proyement OF her roads Gov. Bachel-
der. OF that state-and he is also an Off
Ger of the National Grange-is q very en-
thusiastic advocate Of road improve
ment. In recent address he said:
"The development and prosperity OF
any state or nation depend In some de-
gree upon the transportation facilities
provided; and such facilities include
not only our rivers and harbors and our
great railway and steamboat COM
panies. but also tle highways over which
all our products and all our people are
transported.
"The important matter now before the
friends Of good roads is TO arouse the
people TO a realization Of their respon-
sibility in securing favorable state and
national legislation on the subject The
small pittance appropriated for the use
OF the good roads bureau Of the depart
ment Of agriculture is entirely out Of
proportion to the money appropriated
for other objects Of public nature
when their relative importance is con-
sldered
Another important matter is the con-
struction OF roads adapted to the needs
Of travel over them. Much harm has
come to the good roads movement in
some sections OF the country through the
advocacy Of more expensive roads than
the resources Of the people would war
rant and demand. Costly stone roads
are economical upon portions Of our
highways. but we must not overlook the
fact that there is a vast mileage OF roads
that could be permanently improved by
the judicious expenditure OF a compare
lively small sum OF money per mile
We should give due prominence TO this
fact in considering the matter from a
state OF national standpoint.
"As an Official OF the National Grange,
I desire 10 say word for the farmers
Of the country in regard TO national aid
for road building. The farmers have
been loyal to the interests Of the nation
In every emergency In the past They
have contributed their full share in pro-
portion to their wealth to the revenues
for the support ofthe government. The
ablest statesmen and most successful
business men. contributing to the devel-
opment and prosperity Of the country,
point TO the farms as their birthplace.
When our country has been in danger.
the farmer boys have responded nobly
TO her defense. We have uncompIain-
ingly contributed our share 70 the enor-
nous expenditures Of the national gov
eminent for river and harbor improve
ments. the construction OF canals and
The erection Of costly buildings in our
great cities, and We DO not regret Il.
We now ask. in the name OF justice, that
national aid be granted for the improve
ment OF highways. This involves the
Of no new policy. but the
extension Of the former one. We ask
the loyal support Of those who have been
benefited by our contribution 10 other
public matters TO which have referred

resenung more than third Of our pop-
are practically unanimous in
