Where VIII Woman stopf


This is the age of the woman. And
the future also Is hers 1t Is less than
fifty years since American girls were
refused admission to the colleges their
brothers attended. Now there are more
women In the colleges than men. AL
most every agency of modern times ca

custom. The pulpit wants her strong
support. The press seeks her favor and
patronage. Woman is no longer behind
the throne. She is the throne.
All this change Of few years seems
a radical departure. But cast your
eyes over Europe. The women of
Britain are pounding at the doors of
Parliament seeking suffrage. In Ger
many the gates of the ancient univer-
stiles have been lifted from their hinges
to let women in. In Italy the Parlia-

HELPING COTTON PLANTERS.

How the Government Is Coming to
the Rescue of a Great Industry,
AT one time it was thought the whole
important Sea Island cotton industry
would be swept away by a disease" says
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. 1.-THE
departments experts entered the field, de-
veloping a disease-resistance cotton BY
breeding and selection, and re-established
the industry. In all the South where the
boil weevil is now working the depart
ment Is striving to secure varieties that
will be so early as to produce crops de-
spite the weevil. We are succeeding in
this, and are distributing new types Of
cotton superior to those already in exist
ence, and which will mature ahead of the
weevil
Zone of the greatest lines of propa-
ganda work the department is carrying
on Is in the South, in connection with
the cotton weevil. When the weevil in
vaded the country the cotton growers
were discouraged, and it was necessary
to rally them. This was done by extern
sive systems of demonstration work. The
farmer Is shown how to grow cotton de-
spite the weevil, how to rotate his crops,
how to improve his land, and how to sur
round his home with better conditions
generally. Last year the department was
working along this line with more than
100000 farmers in the States Of Texas
and Louisiana alone, and this year the
number will be increased.
'.These farmers are being taught how
to maintain the fertility of the land By
the use of legumes, to grow corn, to
keep animals, and at the same time pro-
duce cotton. We are endeavoring to show
them that they can produce just as much
cotton on half the land now In use, de-
voting the other half to crops which will
bring them ready money, and which, will
not deplete the SOIL"

Summer days are perilous days for
the babies and there are many moth
ers who are not sure just what to do.
A very able physician, one who spe-
clalizes on babies. and Is in charge Of
one of the largest and most successful
infant clinics in the country. says:
The most important factor Is pure
milk. You cannot lay too much stress
ON that. Thousands of babies are killed
every summer by the germs held In
impure milk. Have the milk Pasteur-
lied, and use it the same day. AT
least, have 1t sterilized. "You can Pas
teurize 1t yourself. Put the milk in a
thoroughly clean vessel, and place In It
an ordinary thermometer. Clean the
thermometer. Bring the milk to tenn
perature of 167 degrees. and keep 1t
there for exactly twenty minutes. Then
remove and cool. Use the same day.
Or you can destroy the germs by bring.
ing the milk to the boiling point. and
Immediately removing. Do not prolong
the boiling, as this renders II less d.
gestible and may induce sickness.

be given nothing but milk. and only

months. Giving the baby taste Of
this or that is extremely dangerous.
Feed the baby too little rather than too
much. Don't feed it every time 1t cries.
In hot weather feed less than usual.
Give the baby plenty of cold boiled
water mot ice water), and plenty of
fresh air. Let 1t wear no more clothes
than is absolutely necessary. To over
dress an infant in the summer is cruel
and dangerous. If the baby IL taken
sick, stop all food Immediately. An in
FAINT can go twenty-four hours at least
without any food, and be none the
worse A little castor oil is valuable
for stomach troubles. but the prime
thing is to stop feeding.
ITO sum it all up-feed it pure milk
and nothing else, feed 1t too little rath-
er than too much give boiled water to
drink and plenty Of 1t, dress it lightly,
give 1t fresh air. and when illness
comes stop all feelings. Do this. and
the summer will be a happy one for
you and for the baby"

The EARLY Garden.


After all danger of frost Is over,
which Is usually about the time the
apple trees are in blossom, tomato
plants may be put out, as they are ten
der and will not endure the frost If
sooner transplanted. Peas for a later
crop, Lima beans, string beans, squash,
eggplants and late cabbage, as well as
sweet corn and melons, may then be
planted. The garden crops that do not
need much room on which to grow may
be planted In rows of sufficient dis
lance apart to permit of using a wheel
hoe or hand hoe (about IS inches), but
corn, tomatoes, eggplants and Lima
beans require from one yard to four
feet between the rows. To have
large garden on farm Is to extend
the bill Of fare, and 1t can be arranged
to permit Of working with a horse hoe,
but the suburban garden work must be
done with a hand hoe or a wheel hoe.
There Is more pleasure in working
garden than may be supposed, and it
will promote the health of any one
who engages In such occupation. As
there are many details in gardening,
and several varieties Of each of the diff
ferent vegetables, the beginner should
procure books on gardening. which can
be had Of any scotsman, and also per-
init the seedsmen to select for him the
varieties most suitable for his location,
as an inexperienced person can easily
make mistakes In his selections. The
seed catalogues describe methods of
planting. but some varieties Of vegeta-
bles are better for stock feeding than
for the table, while some are early In
maturing and others are late.

Learned Women.

II woman to-day desires to be
learned, she may become so. The time
has passed when any suggestion Of
scholarship for a feminine head was
fouted as against nature" The num-
Der Of men who give themselves to re-
search is always relatively small, and
that Of women Is likely to be still
smaller; but for the exceptional wo-
man opportunities for the highest study
are now open.
The Association of Collegiate Alum
ne at recent meeting listened to
addresses from six women who had
held fellowships from the associa-
ton. Four of the six may write
"Ph. D." or Lift. D." after their
names. Their researches have been in
diverse fields-Roman archaeology, old
English, comparative psychology, es-
thetics. Their stories of their work
show their vigor and ingenuity In the
pursuit Of knowledge, and humor in
facing the difficulties of their tasks.
For example, one of them wished to
study manuscript in the monastry of
Monte Casino. She found the rules
of the order forbade any woman to
work in the library or any manuscript
to be taken out But gentle appeal
to the abbot resulted in his sending
the desired treasure to the porter's
room at the gate. By a free construc-
tion of the regulations the book was

was said to be ''out," and all require

Preparation of Coarse Foods.

One of the implements or machines
which farmers who visit the fairs have
found In operation Is the corn shred
der. 1t Is revolutionizing the use of
corn fodder, as It saves labor and pre-
pares the corn stalks for the use of
stock. 1t removes the ears from the
husks, and tears the entire stalk into
shreds at one operation, as rapidly as
the stalks can be fed into the machine.
There are several kinds, but every
farmer should have one, as it will en-
able him to use the leaves, husks and
stalks as 80 much hay, which can be
baled. IL necessary. When fodder Is
thus prepared the cattle will not reject
so much as usual, and the shredded fod-
der uneaten Is suitable for bedding, or
as an absorbent In the manure heap.
The saving in feed by the shredding
Of the entire stalk will be an addition
to the profit Of the farm, and will also
enable the farmer to keep more stock.
