Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman has
been presenting to Chicago women's
clubs a theory for the wholesale
bringing up of infants in co-opera-
tive nurseries, leaving the mothers
free from the maternal drudgery of
looking after them, except, perhaps,
to pay them an occasional visits Of
mingled interest and curiosity. 1t is
her opinion that Sin the municipal
nurseries the infants would receive
better care than most of the moth
ers give them and get better start
in health and in the elements of con-
duct and breeding. With this should
go also the plan Of cooperative
kitchens to save domestic labor and
worry, as well as to assure the prop
er preparation of food. Home" the

The Governments Model Farm.

The model farm" of the depart

Pennsylvania. 1t is not one of the
many experimental plantations con-
Quoted by the experts of the depart
ment, but a private enterprise which
has attained such success as to
cause it to be quoted as an example
of the results of intelligence and sys-
tenn in official reports and In agri-
cultural publications. generally. The
farm consists of Is acres, but only
10 are in cultivation, and on these the
owner manages to support 80 head OF
stock, including II cows in milk, and
to make a comfortable living. OF
course, with limited area at his COM
mand, he does not permit his cattle
to pasture; and one great secret of
his success is due to the fact that
not an ounce of manure is wasted
but all is transferred daily from the
stable to the fields. No fertilizer Is
bought. There is no rotation of crops,
as every foot of land is we'll MANFRED.
Rye. timothy and clover corn, peas,
oats and millet are grown, and at
least two crops year are taken
from most of the land. The cattle
are fed balanced rations-green crops
in summer and silage in winter, with
dry hay or fodder, and bran, oil meal
and gluten. Each COW is given four
ounces of salt every day. One man
and a boy do all the labor, except
during harvest The milk, which is
kept perfectly clean, is sold for rs
cents a gallon the year round. The
same experience, the department de-
clares, can be duplicated on other
farms, with the same methods

the societies are deploring its rapid
determination. The cutting of the

TONERS for the nomination assured the
voters that they would stand like a
