Women Wage Farmers.

The number of American women who
are wage earners more than doubled be-
tween 1880 and 1890, according to a re-
port just issued by the census bureau
Between 1890 and 1900 there was not
iceable increase of bread winners among
married women
The report is of interest aside from
it's general findings. For instance,
more than half of the women of Ameri-
ca, exclusive of Alaska, Hawaii and the
other outlying possessions, are now, in
the language of the comic opera refrain,
"only working girls" And they are
girls, too. OF the total number en-
ployed as wage earners-14,8 1888, $50 out
of total of %, 4S5,559 over 16 years of
age-68.4 per cent are under 80 years of
age, 44.2 per cent are under rs years and
25. 6 per cent are under 81 years. The
married number Is per cent of the
total, the widows III per cent and the
divorced but l.9 per cent, although the
report says the latter finding must be
taken with several grains of salt, as wo-

OF all the conditions which influ-
ence the growth of crops noe is
more important than the amount of
moisture in the soil. While water is
absolutely essential to plants, an ex-
cess is as bad as a deficiency.
There are two kinds Of conditions
which require drainage; first, land
which is wet or marshy, because It is
too fat to allow surface drainage;
second, land which has sufficient slope
to give good surface drainage but
which, on account of the large amount
OF vegetable matter or humus 1t con-
tains and of its impervious clay sub
soil, does not have good underdrain.

The lack OF drainage in the first
case is readily seen and understood,
but the Importance OF drainage in

Austrian Military Opinion.

In the current issue of The Military
Service Institution is an interesting
and timely article on this subject of
Japan and America. The paper was
written by Capt. Ignez Rodic, captain
of the general stan of the Austrian
army, and translated by Capt. n. S.
Jarvis, of the United States army.
"There are" says the observer,
"many indications that in the event
of war Japan intends to carry 1t to
the American continent. Her feverlsh
activity in her arsenals since the con-
clusion of war with Russia would sug.
gest preparations for a vast struggle.

per cent, This is a net profit on the
cost of drainage, since there is no in
crease in expense of cultivation of the
land. In fact it is easier to work
drained land than undrained land. Ex-
perience shows that drainage usually
pays for itself in from two to four
years.
The benefits from drainage are as
follows:
(a) Allows cultivation of land
otherwise not available for farming.
OBJ Allows earlier working in
spring.
(c) Allows the soil to warm up more

Looked for War at Once.

When the announcement was made
that the navy department had de-
cided to send the Atlantic fleet to the
Pacific a well known navy officer
was asked what, in his opinion, would
be the outcome of this oversee trans
fer of 16 battleships. "The chances
are" he said, that Japan will seize
the Philippines and declare war be-
fore the fleet has been one week at
sea. The serious blunder was made
when the battleships that were sta
toned out there were withdrawn. In
stead of Withdrawing them the force
should have been gradually but un-
obtrusively augmented"
These are the 16 battleships of the
Atlantic fleet which the government
will send around the Horn into Pacific
waters. The fleet as a whole is the
most formidable one that is now gath
cred under any one flag in any waters
of the world.

Upon marshes that are almost or

is at the foot of the high land sur

true where the high land rises very

To XIII Moles.-A Tarkio reader
says he has found that the moles and
ground mice usually do their worst
damage about the time the sweet corn
is ready for table use. By cutting off
few grains and soaking them in
strychnine and dropping these in the
holes, the pests will be quickly de-
stroyed. They eagerly devour sweet
corn, even If it is little bitter from
the poison.
