ranged along three main lines that
have to do with the betterment of
home life, the physical well-being
which includes lectures on sanitation,
ventilation, cooking with a knowledge
Of the chemical value of foods, ane
all that part of practical housekeeping
included in domestic science.
Making Home Attractive.
The second series Of topics deals
with the refnements Of life, books,
pictures, suitable and simple furnish
ings, education of the children, cul-
tivation of flower gardens, and other
methods of rendering the house more
attractive and comfortable. The third
subject deals with the ethical side of
life, a sympathetic discussion of the
general family problems that women
feel the need of talking over among
themselves, a comfort largely denied
them owing to the isolation Of farm
ers' families.
One Of the most enjoyable features
of the trial institutes was a series Of
round tables called Discovery Hour"
when members reported any new ex-
perience that had made their homes
more comfortable, happier, or pros
porous. Another feature of much in
terest was the exhibit of members
work; each one brought a specimen
eff any kind of work that especially ap-
pealed to her taste; some had embroi-
derry, rugs, bedquilts, candied fruit,
drawings or paintings, sofa cushions,
house plants, patterns, recipes, and
many other examples of work that
were eagerly discussed, copied, and ex-
changed.
Miss Van Rensselaer, believes that
farmers wives know more about the
business affairs of their husbands than
any other class of women, and that
they come to these conferences with
pretty clear idea of what they will be
able to do in the way Of improving
their homes, and are anxious to find
the very best way of accomplishing
their reforms. While the institutes
are intended primarily for women who
live on farms, they will be largely
attended by clubwomen Of towns and
cities included in the institute dis
tricts, for the programs include all
the subjects that deal with successful
housekeeping, and so are of interest
to all women. The Canadian expert
ence with womans Institutes has been
so successful that the minister Of ag-
riculture recently said of them: NO
money that Canada has ever expended
on agriculture has brought such large
returns as that spent on the woman's
Institutes, because when we educate
the mothers we have educated the
whole family, and it is destined to be
one Of the greatest educational factors
OF our future. New York Evening

HOW to Lave q Winter Pasture.

The farmers OF the South and Mid
die West can have a winter pasture
BY planting winter vetch in August
or September. BY sowing thirty
pounds to the acre in the way cow
peas are sown It will afford a fine
pasture all fall, winter and spring for
all kinds OF stock, and in the spring
the stock can be taken off and from
one to three tons of cured Yetch hay
can be moved per acre, containing
both grain and forage, ahead of al
falfa, In fact, equal, pound for pound,
with wheat bran by actual analysis.
There is no better soil improver
than vetch. and 1t will grow on any
soil and in any climate that will pro-
duce cowpeas. 1t is an annual, but
when moved enough of the bottom
seed will be cured and will pop out
to reseed the land. and they will lie
dormant all summer and will again
terminate the following fall, and so
on continuously.
The coolest weather does not in
iure vetch, and where wheat has been
cut on land intended for corn next
season is fine place to plant 1t. AS
soil improver, a winter pasture and
for hay It cannot be beaten. 1t grows
when other crops are out of the way
and gets out OF the way in time to
plant other crops on the same soil
The culture is most highly recon-
mended by the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, and by the lead
ing experiment stations and thou
sands OF farmers who have tried it,
