Women Wage Farmers.

Two young Boston women, students
at the University of Chicago, have set
before themselves the difficult task of
investigating the problems presented
by the gainful employment of women
in the United States So far as the
results of their inquiry have been
made available in the pages of the
Journal of Political Economy, they
are confined to an analysis of the facts
to be deduced from the census re-
ports; but some of these results are
so interesting that the student of So
cial economics will await the compile
ton of the study with impatience
Feminine competition with men is
subject on which it has been the
fashion to dogmatize freely, but the
actual material ON which to base ex-
act conclusions is surprisingly scan
ty, and any labor which furnishes the
needed data is labor well applied 1t
has been often said, for instance, that
women's invasion of fields of indus
trial activity hitherto restricted to the
male worker has increased the keen
ness of the competition for a liveli
hood, and whatever progress has been
made by women in charging the mum
Der of gainful occupations open tc
them has been at the expense of ano
in the face of the opposition of the
men. Nevertheless, it has not beer
demonstrated that womens work has
essentially altered in amount or in
tensity, and there is reason to believe
that even the changes in the charac
ter of that work have not been sc
great as is commonly believed.

Mysterious Effect of Wounds.

II often wondered" said veteran
'at the GOODNESS and quietness of
wounded men, but | wondered just as
often at the excitement or distress of
men who narrowly escaped death or
serious wounds. A shell passing near
a man without striking him, or a spent
ball striking man without leaving
wound, often caused the keenest dis
tress. When the batteries were con.
centrated on the left center at Stone.
River, one of my men was struck by
spent ball, which dropped into his
haversack. The boys near him
laughed at the incident, but the man
was deathly sick.
HE came to me and said that if the
battery was ordered forward he
couldn't go with us because he never
felt worse in his life | directed him
to lie down, believing that he would
feel better in few minutes. But he
did not, and was miserable and list.
less for two days. On the day we
went through Murfreesboro and pur-
sued the enemy at gallop, the man
who had been so severely wounded in
the haversack, as the boys put it, was
in his place, and in the excitement of
the chase the misery left him and he
was as good as rev."

Omitted States" Spoken.

It is not surprising that English
should make some way southwark over
the boundary; so does Spanish pene
trate northward, for the matter OF
that, but the exchange is not equal
in amount, as the Mexicans emigrate
less and travel less than we, says
Four Track News. There are over
1000 resident Americans in Mexico
City alone to say nothing about the
multitude of tourists. If the lin
guistic movement southwark contin
ues to be more than the counter
movement, plainly the line of contact
will itself gradually be moved. There
is hardly a Mexican urchin selling
fruit or papers along the railroads
within so miles of the Rio Grande who
does not know at least some colloquial
phrases Of English. This becomes
less and less true, indeed, as one pro.
crosses southwark, but one is never
surprised to be asked by some russell
faced tatterdemalion: You want the
paper?" you want some fruit?" and
English reappears more prominently
than ever at the capital. Ask a Mex.
leo City policeman in very simple Eng
lish where some important building
is, and quite probably he will tell
you. Walk into any large shop and
ask for what you want, and If the
clerk does not understand United
States he will call some one who
does.

MISCELLANY
Breaking the Colt.

AS this is the season of the year
when good many farmers are
breaking the colt, getting him
ready to do his share of the
springs work, wish to make sug-
gestion, or call attention to the best
manner in which this should be done.
In breaking a heavy colt which is in.
tended principally for work on the
farm, the matter of first and utmost
Importance is to get him to walk
fast. Probably 80 per cent of his work
will be done at a walk and for this
reason one can readily see the impor
lance of developing the colt into a
fast walking horse, and perhaps al
the time he is being broken, more
than at any other, is this habit form
ed. When first put into the harness
he is naturally a bit nervous and ID
up on the bit, striving to get away.
and If held in check at this time he
will walk just as fast as he possibly
can. | know the temptation is great
to allow him to step out on a lively
trot, but this temptation should be
overcome and the colt made to walk
for weeks, until the habit of walk
ing fast is fully developed. 1t is very
seldom that work horse which is
allowed, or made to trot a great deal,
makes fast walker.
| had occasion two years ago to
drive horse for some time, that |
believe was about the slowest walker
one could imagine, and if | had to
drive horse like that at all times,
| am sure it would take at least ten
years off my life worrying over the
slowness. 1t is one Of the keenest
pleasures to work behind a team that
takes you across the field and back
in almost no time, and to an energetic
man there is nothing more nerve
racking than to follow a team that
makes you think you will never get
across the field, and the dinner bell
will ring before you get half way back.

Much Needed Law.

After an agitation that finally won
10 its support all but the owners and
breeders of coach horses and those
that slavishly follow fashion the New
York legislature has passed by very
large majority a bill to prohibit the
docking of horses tails and the i'm
portation into the state of horses thus
mutilated. The New York Evening
Mail says: There is no question Of
the merit and need of such a law
The docking of a horses tail is a
senseless abasement of Gods noblest
four-footed creature. 1t is repulsive
as well as a cruel outrage upon an
animal which repays brutality with
gentleness and good service. A fire.
luent argument against an anti-dock'
ing bill has been the assumption that
It would only serve to penalize breed
ers in this state, since purchasers

passed by the assembly the other day
forbids the importation of locked
horses. So far as the constitutionali-
ty OF such provision goes, 1t need
only be said that If the state may
prohibit the importation of harmless
ole0margarine and of lawfully killed
game birds, 1t must certainly possess
he power to shut out MANNED beasts.
Another argument against the law
has been that spirited horse may be-
come impossible to control If he is
able to throw his tail over the reins.
In answer to this claim it is only
necessary to say that spirited horses
should only be driven by competent
drivers, and that a good driver does
not allow the reins to get out of his
control"

blessed Are They That Mourn"


Oh, deem not they are blest alone
Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep;
The Power who ptes man has shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
The light of smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears;
And weary hours of woe and pain
Are promises Of happier years.
There Is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night
And grief may bide an evening guest.
But joy shall come with early light.
And thou who Ger thy friends low bier
Dost shed the bitter drops like ram,
Hope that a brighter. happier sphere
VIII give him to thy arms again.
Nor let the good mans trust depart
Though life it's common gifts deny.
Though with a pierced and bleeding
heart
And spurned of men, he goes to die.
l'og God hath marked each sorroWing day
and numbered every secret tear,
And heavens long age of bliss shall pay
For all His children suffer here.

More Sheep Wanted.
Do Not Spray Blossoms.

Trees should not be sprayed when
in bloom. The spray will kill
many of the blossoms and
also the bees that may be
visiting them. The bees are the
agents that cross pollenate the
blooms After the petals have fallen
is time enough to spray, but it should
be done then Immediately.

Southdo

The Southdown is accepted as
the aristocrat of mutton sheep,
not for it's size, but for it's
smoothness and plumpness of body
and sweet, tender and juicy meat. The
quality of the lambs of this popular
breed always command the highest
price in the market-R. E. Roberts.

Controlling Mites and Lice.

| have in years past had my share
of troubles with lice and mites. but
experience has taught me that only
by proper methods used at the proper
time can they be held in check. Keep
fighting them is the way have always
found an efficient remedy. Twice a
year thoroughly renovate my homes,
nest boxes and all, give everything
thorough coat of good whitewash in
which | place little coal oil and car
bolic acid. do this early in the spring
before the birds get ready to incu
bate, hence | am not troubled with
the mites on the birds during the
Matching season. AT all times of the
year | take pains to keep my houses
clean Dropping boards are cleaned
thoroughly every week, and a good
lice paint used on them about every
two weeks If there are any lice and
mites around | see no signs of them
when this methed is used. 1t is BY
letting them get good start on you
that makes them hard to control. They
will soon own the place unless you
begin right and keep it up.-R. T.
Megibben, Sullivan Co., Indiana.
Doors Of Poultry Houses.
1t is better to have only
one door in poultry house
unless the second door fits
tightly and can be closely fastened.
This is to prevent drafts. The door
in use should be as large as the ordi-
nary house door so that it may be
comfortably used by the owner of the
poultry. The little door only half
high enough for a human being to
enter soon becomes a nuisance.

Tauqht by Mistakes,

Multitudes OF people have started
out to raise poultry, and meeting a
disaster, or perhaps several of them,
have given up in dispair. This is just
what they should not have done. 1t
is a general rule that people without
experience going into the raising of
poultry make various mistakes and
have disasters. But these mistakes
are very valuable as teachers. Some
times it teaches what to do, but al
ways what not to do. Early failures
help to make later successes. After
man has made many mistakes he is
in a position to carry on his business
successfully. in the business world
it is notorious fact that many of the
men that have made the greatest sue
cess have done so because they have
learned how to succeed by having
failed in some of their first undertake
ings. We are taught by our mis-
takes.
Arrangements in the Poultry House.
All the internal arrangements in the
poultry house should be movable. as
in that way only is man able II
wage successful war against mites.
lice and disease. If he has dropping
board under the roosts, this dropping
board should be merely hinged or
bolted to the wall so that it may be
readily removed. The things under
it should be removable and so should
the roosts themselves. 1t really re.
quires very little work to make the
arrangements as above, and after the
work is once done it will be a great
saving in time in the cleaning out of
the poultry house and in it's thorough
fumigation when disease comes.
More Sheep Wanted.
Sheep are doubly valuable
for man, as they produce
both wool and meat. In some
countries they also are the milk pro-
ducers. Wool clothing is much more
healthful than cotton, as it protects
the body from the changes of tempera-
ture which many times prove fatal.
Wool does not burn rapidly, while
cotton is very infammable. Many a
person that has been burned to death
when their clothing has taken fire,
would have been saved if their cloth
ing had been of wool.

Rose Hammond turns ou to be the lost child of Uncle Davie of the play. Hammond believed he had killed Uncle Davie and taking his money and the child fled.
