THE CARNEGIE FUND.
DIR. James H. Carlisle's Work Sub.
stantially Recognized - Granted
Pension of S1.1SO.

Pension of 81, 1,150.
Spartanburg, Oct. 2e.-Dr. James
Fl. Carlisle, presiden. emeritus OF
Wofford college, an South Caro-
lina's. greatest educator, has been
granted a pension Of s1,150 a year by
the Carnegie Foundation. The official
notice of the decision Of the Carnegie
board was received in Spartanburg 10
days ago, but not becoming generally
known until today.
The granting of this pension is a
distinct compliment to DR.. Carlisle
the State of South Carolina and Wof-
ford college.
The Carnegie Foundation was Gre
ated by the celebrated millionaire for
the purpose Of pensioning educators
who had done great service for their
cause. 1t is a rule of the board and
the founder that the pensions are for
the professors and teachers IN the
State and private institutions, the
professors of denominational colleges,
being excluded. On account Of the
eminent services rendered to his State
and the cause Of education an excep-
ton was made in the case Of the
grand old man" Of South Carolina,
and he became the first and only pro-
fessor of denominational college to
receive the pension.
The securing Of the pension was to
large extent due to the efforts OF
DR.. H. n. Snyder, present president of
Wofford college. While engaged in
his work as educator, DR.. Snyder
came in contact with DR.. Pritchard,
the chairman of the Carnegie Foun-
dation. DR.. Snyder called the atten-
ton of the chairman to the work that
had been done by DR.. Carlisle. Dr..
Pritchard was very much interested,
and. after making investigation, took
the matter up with the board. The re-
suit was the board Willingly recog-
nized the great services for the cause
of education. overstepped the rule
and voted in favor of placing DR.. Car
lisle on the list of beneficaries of the
fund.

A COOKLESS LAND.
The Complaint of Weary and Har-
rassed Housekeeper.

raSSed HOuSekeeper.
Mr.. Editor: The servant question
in the air. "What can we do to
get good cook?" is the cry Of the
over-worked home makers To do the
work Of manager seamstress and cook
is more than one. pair Of hands, no
matter how willing, can accomplish.
Cooking is hard work and onght to
be of the very best quality No man
or woman is fit to face his or her
work after meal Of poor coffee and
greasy tough food served by a weary,
flushed woman who is cross and upset
because the cook did not come, and
the kitchen left by her in fearful
state of disorder. It is burning
question. Must all married women
be slaves to their families? Must the
lovely blushing bride Of yesterday be
the weary, over-worked, untidy cook
Of today? In the country it is almost
worse than in town, they, the cooks
have melted off the face Of the earth,,
and no fresh supply seems likely to-
fall; and it is better to face the con-
dition and to try and find remedy
than to go on hiring dirty, ignorant
help one day to have them fail the
next. I would suggest that women
form clubs to discuss the question
seriously, band together to get cooks,
or learn to cook. Surely if we made
it worth while some white girls would
be willing to cook instead Of toiling
in an Office all day. There must be
some Of them with natural taste for
home making. Can we not educate
them and offer them a salary which
it would be worth while to work for?
if a man can pay his stenographer S3O
a, month his wife ought to be able to
offer that or its value to the most i'm
portant wage Garner in family. Send
some of the girls to the cooking
school, make it a study worth taking
up.
What does Ruskin say Of cooking?
Cooking means the knowledge Of
Media and Circe, and CALYPSO and
Helen, and Of Rebeca and Of the
Queen of Sheba. 1t means the knowl-
edge of all herbs and fruits and balms,
and spices, and of all that is healing
in fields and sweet in groves, and sa-
worry in meats-it means carefulness
and watchfulness and willinSess and
readiness of appliance; it means the
economy of your great-grand mothers
and the science of modern chemists;
it means much tasting and no vast
ing; it means English thoroughness
and French art, and arabian hospi-
tality. 1t means in fine that you are
to be perfectly always ladies. And as
YOU are to see imperatively that every
one has something pretty to put on.
so you are to see yet more Imperative
ly that every one has something nice
to eat.''
l suggest most earnestly that wom-
en- come together on this question and
make it worth while for some Of the
girls who must make their living to
take up cooking, and give them regu-
lar homes, pay them good wages, let
the surroundings be pleasant, and let
the ones who cannot afford higher
priced cooks from clubs to have their
cooking done at public kitchens, we'll
done.
1t is worth while, and if anything
can be done let us do it. We do Won
ders with our societies for church work
why can we not do wonders with our
home problems?

spirit to pervade its populace, may ex-
pect that there may be instances Of
injustice resulting from it. No man
can be expected TO act as colly and
deliberately when there is no fear
of personal violence to himself as he
would if he was afraid if he came
forward and gave his testimony in the
case, he might be dealt with. 1t has
come to me officially sitting here IN
open court that some OF the persons
who were witnesses say on this oc-
casion were actually afraid to come

shows the utter futility Of individuals
undertaking to take the law into their

of letting it take it's own course, in

FOOD VALUE OF EGGS.

Popular belief to the contrary, there
is no difference in the nutritive quail
ties of eggs with dark shells and those
with light. Their flavor is affected by
the food of the fowl for good or for
evil. Exhaustive experiments by well
equipped Investigators prove that the
egg deserves its reputation as an easily
asslmilated and highly nutritious food,
II eaten raw or lightly cooked Such ex-
periments also show that eggs at twelve
cents dozen are a cheap source of
nutrients; at sixteen cents, somewhat ex-
pens1ve, and at twenty-five cents ana
over, highly extravaganza
The basis of comparison was the market
prices of standard flesh foods considered
in relation to their nutritive elements.
But there is a physiological constituent
OF eggs which is of greau value. vet it
defes the search of the scientist or the
1nquisition of the statistician, and that is
their palatability. Unless a food. how
ever rich in proteins, is relished, it loses
much of its value, while, per contra, a
less chemically desirable food that is en-
Joyed becomes valuable by reason of that
fact.

walls formed of posts ana boards at

OF such a house should be two feet six
inches in height, and at the back six
feet, with a walk down the center of the
mouse dug out to a depth of eighteen
inches or more in order to give head
room enough to walk through The walls
should be built of matched lumber such
as barn boards or German siding. in

WOMEN AS FARMERS.

1t is no longer considered disgrace
Tor girl to be able to do something
for her own support. They have been
poultry keepers for long time. but
they are now turning farmers and the
best stronghold of men is invaded. The
following is from the Epitomist:
Girls are beginning to answer the
question What can girls do for a liv-
ing?" by invading the fields heretofore
monopolized by men and engaging in
all sorts of business, often with decided
success. A case in point is where six
sisters and their brother, the youngest
or the party, are actually conducting a
farm on their own responsibility near
California, Pa, and doing as well as
any of their neighbors. Of these six
girls, the youngest is in her teens; the
Oldest is not thirty The youngest is
cook and "chore-boy." Next to the
youngest is the "cow-man." She at
tends to twenty cows and rears the
calves herself. The next one has actu-
ally plowed, though this work is usual
~ done by man. At any rate she does
all the planting. Marketing and house
work fall to the next older one.
The pretty girl who owns to being
the oldest but one, is the carter and
gardener while the oldest calls herself
plowman," because she taught her
young brother to plow. In the dairy
she is a decided success and the butter
she makes is famous for it's excellence.
They are up at sunrise and in harvest
time often work till 10 or II at night.
At other seasons they have time for

THE FARM
THE COST OF PRODUCING FIELD
CROPS
CROPS.

In 1892 and 1893, Prof. w. M. Hays,
now Assistant Secretary of Agriculture,
1naugurated large number of expert
ments in crop rotation at the North
Dakota and Minnesota experiment sta
lions. These experiments are planned to
run for twenty years at least, and the
value of certain arrangements of crops in
the rotation is already apparent. Yields
from the different rotations are carefully
recorded, and the gross incomes are be-
ing determined. The real value of
certain rotation can only be accurate
measured by net profit, however, as labor
and cash expenditures will vary to an
appreciable extent with the arrangement
Of crops in the rotation
The cost of producing field crops can
not be determined, for practical purposes,
on the experiment farm because labor is
too expensive and plot-work is not COM
parable to field conditions. Realizing
this obstacle in the path of completing
these rotation studies, the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station, cooperating with the
Bureau of Statistics of the United States
Department of Agriculture began in 1902
an exhaustive study into the cost of pro-
duclng Held crops in Minnesota under
actual farm conditions. Special agents
OF the Bureau of Statistics were placed in
three of the most representative farming
districts in Minnesota. In each district nf-
teen or sixteen farmers were interested
In the work, and agreed to give labor
reports and all cash items and misela-
neous data relating to the production of
the crops. The "route-statiscian," as the
special agent came to be called, makes a
daily visit to each of these farms and
secures report of all the labor per-
formed the previous day, distributing it
TO the various crops and enterprises
Each year the farms are surveyed and
a plat made showing the exact acreage
or the crops pasture lands, and waste
areas upon which statistics are being re-
corded. Depreciation of farm machinery
and harnesses, the cash rental value of

labor on the farm, are all being accurately
determined and worked into the general
