Ar. women TO EXCEL Wen.

When a man. physician and an ac
knowledged authority on physiology
admits that his own sex. both physical
W and mentally, must soon yield the
palm to women, the matter assumes an
importance worthy OF the most serious
consideration. Indeed. the mind can
scarcely conceive the consequences OF
this assertion upon the destiny Of moth.

race. II il be an established truth. That
man. who We quote below from lee
ture recently delivered IN London Is the
distinguished Psychologist, Afford Tay-
ior Schodeld, NJ. d.. member Of the
british association, author OF several
books on physiology, hygiene, and an
officer In many societies for the promo
zion OF education and health In Eng
land. He says:
women are just beginning their
race. Men have pretty we'll finished
theirs. We have all noticed how, In
the last generation or two, woman has
outstripped man In physical develop

where the essentials for health are
understood and prncticed, the average
grown daughter Of to-day Is taller,
stronger and more active than was her
mother AT her age, md a genuine Anna

lin the last generation the average
man has shown no Improvement, either
In body or brain he seems TO have

admitted that wOmans brain has deyel-

Nevertheless, there are essential
differences between the minds of men
and the minds OF women. Anything in

Vitality of Seeds.

The persistent vitality of seeds has
often been noted, and, while there Is
some doubt as TO the reliability of re-
ports of wheat taken from Egyptian
graves of ancient date terminating
VIXEN planted, many notable, If less
wonderful, examples of natures preser-
walton of the life of seeds come to life
from time to time. One of the most
noteworthy of these refers to seeds
taken from Fort Conger, about 400
miles from the pole, by the Peary party
IN 1899, having been exposed in this
northern climate for a period OF six
teen years, their presence there being
the result of the Greeley expedition in
1888. Packages of lettuce and radish
seeds were brought to the United
states, and. after a further period of
six years, were planted, and, while the
lcttuc,. seed had lost its vitality, fully
one-half of the radish seed terminated
and grew TO maturity and perfection.

Tankage has been found to be val
liable hog feed by number of our sta
tons. The Iowa station, for example,
fed corn and tankage at the rate of 90
parts of the former to five parts of the
latter. The tankage was worth $50 per
ton and contained about ~ per cent Of
protein and Is per cent Of fat the price
of corn meal was 500 per ton. The
experiment was conducted for a period
of 40 days. The hogs weighed 2O5
pounds at the end of the experiment.
With the ration containing tankage 100
pounds of gain was produced at cost
of 81 so, while with corn alone 100
pounds of gain was produced at a cost
of 50. 10. These results, therefore, show
a saving of 40. 6 cents per month per
hog in favor of tankage when fed in
connection with corn under the condi-
lions mentioned. Besides this, it should
be remembered that the manure also
became more valuable on account OF
the amount of protein fed.

Fan AIfnrfn Seeding.

The Pennsylvania Experiment sta
ton has gained much experience In fall
and spring seeding OF alfalfa, and says
that the principal objection to spring
sowing Is that weeds come up and
choke out the young plants before they
get a good start. The fall seeded al
falfa on dry land was able to with
stand the severe winter climate per-
fectly-in fact, better than the com
mon red clover. Under average condl-
lions, from 20 to 80 pounds of seed
should be sown to the acre. Manure
gave better results on Pennsylvania
soil than did commercial fertilizer
Lime did not give satisfactory results.
In some instances 1t gave no appre-
cable results, and In others 1t was de-
cidedly harmful but In no case 1t APP
piled to advantage. Deep, well-drained
soils are the best for growing alfalfa.

In the winter most of farmers take
time to think over the work for the
coming season and to plan out what
they will do when the frost gets out of
the land in the spring. The first mat
ter to be settled is that of farm seeds,
most of which should be ordered early
In winter. This is necessary for several
reasons one Of which is that the seeds
may be tested as to terminating ability.
II the first seed selected fails to give
good results there is time to order and
secure more seed, which should In turn
be tested. The value Of the seed in
the field regulates to a great extent
the size Of the crop possible from it,
and this is better understood now than
1t was ten years ago.

Poultry supports n Town.

Thirty-five hundred dollars a day for
eggs alone is what Petaluma, Cal, re-
ceives in cash on the average every day
in the year Petaluma has popula-
ton OF about 5000, but with its mil
lion feathered inhabitants, according to
the last chicken census, that of 1900, 1t
is from a hens point of view the me-
tropolis of the world. In Petaluma al
most every one who has an acre or two
Of land makes business of raising
chickens, while others make a business
of raising poultry on an enormous scale.
Petaluma is also a cash town. Its mer-
chants pay spot cash for all kinds of
farm products from a dozen Of eggs
to a hundred cases, or 1000 tons of
hay. The poultry industry has put
business on a solid, cash basis.

F. B. Mumford, of the Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station, in presenting a sum-
mary of all the work that has been
done at the experiment stations on the
feeding of sheep, showed that sheep
produce more meat from a pound of
grain than any other class of farm ami
mails. In fact, it was shown that
pound of mutton can be produced from
about half as much grain as pound of
beef Even the mortgage-lifting hog
requires more grain to produce pound
OF human food than the sheep. With
the combination of corn and clover hay
for food, and dry shed for shelter, sheep
will always give good account of them
selves and respond readily to the care
given them.
