Woman in Farm Work.

Many agricultural papers are advo
eating the plan of asking the women
members of their families to assist in
the lighter part of outdoor farm work,
a subject which had better be let
alone. Any farmer who needs the
help of his wife and daughter in the
field would better be out of the bust
ness. Where is the farmers wife who
has so much leisure on her hands that
she can assist in the farm work prop
err?
If there are such women, turn the
poultry over to them and see them
make money. Farmers who are advo-
eating this outdoor work for women
would better look more closely into
the situation, when they will see that
what most farmers wives need is help
IN the woman's work of the farm
in the kitchen, in the dairy and in the
hundred and one things they have to
do, especially if there are small chill
dren in the family Most men are lib
eral enough about hiring help for the
farm work, but mighty stingy when it
comes to hiring help to assist the over
worked wife.-Indianapolis News.

Keeping the Soil Rich.

Mr.. Wright, dairy commissioner OF
Iowa, says, ''In Iowa one of the laws
Of the land is that we must grow corn
and grass. Another is that we must
feed these crops to hogs and cattle.
If we don't do the first we cannot
do the second. If we don't do the seq
ond in a few years we will not bs
able to do the first" That is the law
of the land, or of nature itself in near
ly all sections, or rather it might be
stated a little differently. If we do
not return to the soil some Of the fer
tility taken from it, it will cease to
produce profitable crops. Even the
much boosted soil of the Western
prairies is not a mine of inexhaust-
ible fertility as we used to hear it
called. The market gardeners Of
Massachusetts, and many others grow
neither corn nor grass, and feed Meth
er cattle or hogs, but they realize that
they cannot long continue to harvest
good crops unless they procure from
some source the elements that pro-
mote plant growth, and return them to
the soil. Farmers of Iowa are for
tunate in that their cattle and hogs
when sold do not carry away ferdl-
ity from the farm as do grains, hay
and roots

A BANK BURGLARY.
was not often that Mr.. Butler

7 I was not often that Mr.. Butler,
manager of the Cable street
branch OF the London and South
western Bank, had occasion to visit his
offices after business hours. But a
banking business is like no other-a
bank manager is a man upon whose
shoulders rests much responsibility.
Mr.. Butler had been worried during
the four hours which had elapsed since
nc put on his coat and hat and left the
building at 5 o'clock. 1t was tricky
calculation that worried him, and he
was not quite certain, as he dallied
over his coffee, whether or not he was
on the eve of making a great mistake.
That is why, contrary to his custom,
he ordered his electric brougham, drove
to the city, and seated himself again
in his office, with his back to the safe
and the big ledgers before him on the
table.
His brow was wrinkled in thought,
and his keen, gray eyes rapidly flew
over the bewlldering mass of figures,
He became absorbed in his work-so
much so, indeed, that he did not hear
the creak of the little door on his left,
nor did there fall upon his ear the soft
breathing of a man at Lis side.
A few moments later ne was star
tled by feeling something cold pressed

Clover for Poultry.

Clover is not only highly nitrogen
Gus, but is rich in lime, a substance
required by the hens for providing the
shells of eggs, and which is in a more
soluble form in the food than in the
shape of oyster shells or otter insolu-
BILE substances. 1t contains nearly
thirty times as much lime as does
corn in its proportion of flesh forming
elements. One of the advantages as
food for hens is that it is not only nu
tritious, but bulky, and aids in the di-
gestion of the grain. 1t is valuable in
supplying those substances which are
lacking in grain, and as it is plentiful
on all farms and requires but a few
moments for its preparation, there is
nothing to prevent its use. By allow
ing a ration of scalded clover TO the
hens after green food is gone they will
keep IN better laying condition and the
production of eggs viii be increased.

A Mouey-Breedinp Hen.

One of Prof Lowells hens at the
Maine station laid POL eggs last year.
He has a number Of hens with records
of upwards of two hundred eggs in
a year. Such records ought to be con-
vincing to the doubling ones. 1t is
difficult TO say where the limit of pos
sibility lies in careful, systematic
breeding; certain it is that the limit
has not yet been reached. Such re-
suits are not, of course, of common
occurrence, but are the product of a
carefully planned system of breeding
of several consecutive years, together
with the very best of intelligent care
and feeding of the fowls. But after
all, records like these serve a pur-
pose and should encourage every prac-
teal poultry keeper to take extra
pains in the breeding, feeding and care
Of his hens. 1t is needless to say that
Mr.. Lowell accomplished this result
with trap nests by keeping individual
egg records and pedigrees of each hen
and the chickens he raised from them.
There is a pretty big gan between the
hen that lays from seventy-five to
eighty eggs in a year and those that
lay two hundred. Yet on many farms
the 1ocks will not average over eighty
EGGS per year per hen. If they pay
and they do-what a handsome
profit must there be in flock of hens
that produce for their owner twice
that number of eggs in year, and a
flock of hens that will lay one hun
dred and fifty or sixty eggs per fowl
per year is not out of the reach Of
any man or woman who will get tho
right kind of stock and give them the
right kind of care.

The burglar grasped the notes. He

was not fool enough TO let the point
of the revolver drop. He crushed the
notes and the letter into his pocket
Then, with burst of feeling, he flung
the revolver from him.

the calm, imperturbable banker, don't

white hand to the burglar.

volver which you took from my inner

Care of Alfalfa.

So new IS the alfalfa crop to most
farmers that too much stress cannot
be laid on the Importance Of cutting
the crop at the proper time This sub
ject was touched upon in this depart
ment recently, but demands attention
again One of the best authorities on
alfalfa raising says the late cutting
Of the first crop Injuries the plant h ore
than at any other time, and we have
found it profitable to cut alfalfa the
first time as soon as one-tenth IS in
bloom, even though the weather was
bad and we knew the crop would spoil
in curing. The increased yields from
succeeding cuttings over that cut late
much more than makes up for the loss
of the first crop.
Alfalfa growers who are trying the
crop for the first time should bear the
above statement in mind, for, as stat
ed, it is not only the injury to the sec
ond and succeeding crops or -uttin?
that should be avoided. but there il
danger of such utter ruin to the plant
itself that the field has to be plowed
under and reseeded. One can better
afford to sacrifice the first cutting than
to run the risk of losing the entire set
ting. In the matter of curing alfalfa
hay, bear in mind that the cut hay
must be protected from the rain, for
once well wet after cutting there is no
care or treatment that win restore its
feeding value. Large owners of al
falfa have not hesltated to have small
caps made so that the small cocks o.
hay can be protected in case of need;
they find it pays. If the two points
in raising alfalfa here given ale lOi-
lowed. one will have little trouble In
harvesting the crop.

HUNDREDS STRUCK BLIND.
Mysterious Eye Disease Asserting II
self in Central Africa.


self in Central Africa.
A somewhat remarkable eye dis
eases is at present prevalent in sew
eral parts of British Central Africa,
Northeastern Rhodesia, and in Por-
tuguese Zambesia. At first it was
noticeable in cattle, sheep and goats,
and only recently was it found to
have attacked the natives.
The disease it at present raging
from Port Herald, British station
on the Zambesi, right on toward
Tete, a distance of over 200 miles,
and at this latter place it is reported
to be quite an epidemic.
Mr.. William Arnott, traveller, who
recently returned from Tete, states
that he observed hundreds who were
suffering from the disease, and a
large number were totally blind. One
of the sights of Tete on Sunday
morning is the long lines of blind
people who enter the town to beg,
each string being led by little boy
or girl.
At first a white spot is observed on
the eyeball, and this in a short space
of time becomes highly infiamed.
The eye then discharges a white,
milky fluid and the whole of the eye
becomes covered with white film.
This is the critical stage of the NAL
adv. and if the disease is very severe

Many experiments on the effects of
electricity have been carried out BY,
Prof. Lemstrom, as well as by Grand
deau, Leclerq, Lagrange and Paulins.
Some of their results may be here
summarized. In a field of barley it
was found that the part treated cleo

better than the part not so treated.
Potatoes, carrots and celery showed
an improvement of 80 to 20 per cent.
Cabbages, peas, and turnips, however,
were found to be better without cleo

ed that electrically treated peas, wnen
copiously supplied with water, were
