How to Build Land Roller

any desired length, but seven feet Is a

from the surface of the wheels with n
heavy hammer and cold chisel. This is
not as great task as one would
think Have your blacksmith drill the
holes if YOU have no drill, one every
four inches on alternate edges of the

Norman In the Middle West.

Woman In the Middle west.
The social picture of the middle
West as whole however. presents
the sexes occupying d fferent Intellect
ua and moral planes. There the WON
an is indsputably the mistress in all
that makes for cultune-culture in LET
tiers and in art; the man is king in his
own active realm. Each Is most def
erentia to the other in that Others
sphere. The books on the shelves. the
pictures on the wall, are of the wom-
ans choice or selection. The man
speaks OF her literary or artistic tastes,
usually of both combined. with the
reverence that is due to her superior
intellectual and spiritual gifts and ac-
Quirements She is the hostess. and
the host stands appropriately behind
her. She is the instructed and leads
the intellectual movements Of her
town. The book club, the Dante club,
the entertainer of the lecturing or the
travelling lion, is the woman. Often
the clergyman assists; but she. through
her Influence over the surrendered
man. has selected her clergyman, and
on her he must count for the success
of himself and of his work. She Is,
indeed, generous and gracious, and
welcomes with JOY every man who
strays from business into the company
OF books and pictures, into homes
which she has made. They call their
houses homes, oftener than the East,
and these homes bcspeak the finer
taste OF the woman. Her education IS
likely to be more virile than that of
her Eastern sisters, because 1t Is ac-
quired at schools and colleges where
education of the sexes Is the rule.
Her domination in the home and her
prmacy in the higher life. as we are
inclined to call 1t. are seen not only In
the more obvious social affairs. but in
the element of seriousness which
marks most life in this midway of the
country.
AS the man pays her high respect
by recognizing her superiority in the
kingdom of taste. Of feeling. Of the
Imagination. of the knowledge which
comes from books. she returns his def
erence by generating him as the active
ruler of the world OF affairs. This atti-
tude was well expressed by young
woman student in one Of the great edu-
cation universities of the West. She
was asked to write her view of Thomas
Jefferson, and this was her response:
"Thomas Jefferson was t1mid and sly,
but lovely in his family" She could
judge him as one of the world Of
ily If she had been, the last part Of
her description alone would have suf-

A Noble Norman.

An unusual ceremony took place In
New Orleans. when many thousand
persons from every walk of life gath
cred to do honor to a woman. A low
ing-cup was presented to Miss Sophie
Wright, whom her fellow townsmen
love to call The First Citizen of New
Orleans" and the presentation was
made the occasion for public demon
stration of affection.
Miss Wright is little. crippled
woman, white-haire and sweet-faced.
All her life she had been struggling
against poverty and against the never.
ceasing pain of spinal trouble. Able
to go about only with the aid of steel
harness and a cane. she still has the
strength Of multitude in doing good
works.
Twenty years ago she was but a
girl OF eighteen. yet she had already
established prosperous and growing
boarding school, and was beginning
to see ahead an end to poverty. One
day young mechanic asked her 10
teach him to read and write. Suddenly
brought face to face with the fact
that thousands of boys were growing
up in New Orleans untaught and with
out hope Of advancement, she threw
her school open to them in the even
ing, and called for volunteer teachers
from among her girl pupils. Thus was
established free night school to
which thousands Of men to-day owe
all their education. This year 1t en-
rolled fifteen hundred pupils, and three

Provide Against Drought.

With possibility of short pasture

the farmer with much or little stock

Laying Tile in Muck Lands.

Muck lands when thoroughly drain

spots. But unless the tile lines are
laid with sufficient fall, preferably in

clog them. We have found that a
little extra care in attending to these
points will pay exceedingly we'll and

drains for years. The life of drain

Home Life.

The home life may change. but It
will not be disrupted. Nothing can
destroy the home life. The more wo-
men become the equals Of men and
the more they are considered and treat
ed as equals the stronger will the
home life become. Women in the home
used to he considered as dependents
might say as membranes. Now,
with their increased education, ability
and opportunities. they are better able
to make the home life what It should
be. 1t Is not simply breadmaking,
mending and dishwashing that make
the home, women Of to-day are being
trained to preside in the home with
skill and science. and naturally they
are better able to improve the home
life, to raise its standard, to make Il
ideal.-Susap b. Anthony.
