1t is often stated that woman is
lacking in the faculty of creative
genius, and, indeed, that in this par
ticular, by contrast with man, she is
decidedly inferior. This is perhaps a
reasonable conclusion in view of her
history. But it is not so emphatical-
ly true when we consider her dramatic
work. ..f
1t Is by no means a new thought
that man is by nature more intellec-
tual and woman by nature more emo
tional. OF course, it is not meant by
this that man is never emotional, nor
woman never intellectual. Yet it Is
surely fair to assume that to man be-
longs the power of intellectually, and
to woman the emotional quality. Does
it not seem, therefore, that the very
possession by nature of this latter
quality, which certainly is an absolute
necessity in dramatic art, has made
her inherently suited for dramatic
achievement?

Mr.. Ruskin, in speaking of the nee

great things and will accomplish
greater things in the future, when
such women as Modjeska, Terry, Duse
and the matchless Bernhard continue
through inspiration to show their
genius to the world.
Woman's work in literature with
few exceptions has been denied any
claim to greatness. In music and in
other arts she Is admitted to have
shown no particular creative power
But her place upon the stage is as alb.

having thus secured for herself an emf

Pigs on Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is one of the best grazing
crops for pigs. Young growing pigs
until the time they weigh about 100
pounds, give the best results, but
brood sows also respend well to alfalfa
feeds. While young pigs are growing
and are producing muscle and bone,
they need food rich in the constituents
which go to build up a strong frame
work and alfalfa is valuable in this
way. 1t is more economical to feed
some grain in addition to the alfalfa
though about half of the regular grain
feed will be sufficient Alfalfa should be
cut for hay the first and second years,
but by the third, the roots have become
well established, are strong and have
grown good way down into the soil
and pasturing may be begun. 1t is
estimated that an acre of alfalfa, when
the pigs are fed a half grain ration evil
produce 200 pounds of pork during the
season. The great value of green
feed for pigs is not generally so well
appreciated as it should be.

When a vegetable crop is not grow

of some kind can be planted to good
advantage. These crops are beneficial
in many ways, and it is best to. follow
nature closely in this matter and have
some crop growing on the land all the
time. To grow goo vegetables the
land must contain plenty of humus

and plant food in abundance. In no
way can the necessary nitrogen be ad-
ded so cheaply as by growing crops of
cowpeas, yetch, clover, red clover or
crimson clover on the land and either
turning them back into the land or by
growing these same crops, converting
them into hay. feeding this to live
stock and putting the stable manure
back on the land.

Messrs. Wayman and Riegel, at Pc

Cook was reared in New York state.
He has only IS acres, but he runs
dairy and ships milk to Atlanta daily.
He has been doing so for is years, and
has been instrumental in inducing his
neighbors to realize the value of the
COW, until now Pomona is quite a milk
shipping point. Any farmer could
learn valuable lessons from visit to
his farm; but my-you just ought to

does her own work, and that kitchen
is better equipped, cleaner and more
attractive than many of our sitting
rooms or parlors. II VIC had such q
kitchen we would always ask company
In through the back door. Our south
ern women have got to do more OF
their work, and we men have just got
to do two things-frst, fix up our
cook rooms more conveniently, and
secondly, quit eating three hot meals
a day. 1t is all a habit; cold food
is Just as good. But we were talk
ing about farms and farming. Do you
know what follows 1.-The path of the

land is getting rich, and we not only
saw large, fine cotton stalks dead and

that were living green. His next

came all the way from Canada. Though
from this cold climate, he brought his
knowledge of and love for cattle. and
he too runs his dairy, though his farm
only contains some forty acres. You
should see how rich he is making 1t.
He showed us two acres from which
he threshed in 1906 20 bushels Of
wheat, and then cut 10000 pounds Of
peavines and sorghum hay. Let's see
20 bushels of wheat at SLIPS, $3.50;
tons of straw at IS, $40; tons Of
hay at SIS, $75 Total $182.5o. This
isn't bad, is it? And 1t did not cost
as much as cultivating in cotton You

Circumstances.
The general increase in price OF
fertilizer is caused by number OF
conditions. The scarcity of labor in
the mines and the demands made by
the rats has caused steady advance
in the price of nitrate of soda. The
price had about reached the top notch
when the Chilian earthquake caused
another advance of about IS ton
The disturbance in the meat packing
district caused a falling off OF the
number of animals slaughtered, hence
a decrease In the amount of blood and

advance in price. The demand for

and high price of labor has caused cot
tonseeed meal to advance beyond the
price of former years. Phosphate rock

vancing. There seems no prospect OF
the price dropping soon. 1t is evident
that under the present conditions the
farmer must grow more cowpeas and
clover to supply the ammonia to their
crops, and study more closely the
value of potash and phosphoric acid
to the plants.
The winter months could be profit
ably employed in hauling leaves and
woods mold and mixing it with the
manure made on the place so as to
make a compost for the land. OF
course this presupposes some animals
kept on the place. Such compost
will go far towards supplying the plant

the form of mixed fertilizers. Six or
eight loads of this compost worked in

use of 800 pounds of acid phosphate
and $50 pounds of kainit will partially
solve the problem.
1t should not be forgotten that deep
