The Position
of Woman.

The second part of the Duchess OF
Marlborough discussion of the "Po-
sition Of Woman" appears in The
North American Review. In this in
stalment the writer deals with the
relations of woman to society, and
to the state in Rome and Greece and
the effect upon her position Of the
influence Of early Christian teaching.
She says, writing of the Women OF
Rome:
"The chief cause which Influenced
the change in woman's position from
one Of slavery to one of dignity was
the gradual change in the marriage
custom. At the beginning, when
Rome was nothing more than an agri-
cultural community, the woman fig
ured an an industrial asset in the
family and her husband bought her
from her father. But, as Rome grew
into a great and rich city, the fore
most in the world, families became
rich, and women no longer repre-
sented means Of production; fathers
left them fortunes Independent of
their husbands control, and a class
OF powerful wealthy women sprang
into being. Marriage became con-
tract between two people, and it could
not be dissolved except by law. Hus-
band or wife had an equal right Of
dissolving a marriage. but permission
of family council was necessary, as
well as compliance with legal forms.
Such a change in the relative position
Of woman made her a much more
important factor in the family. and
put her on a basis Of equality with
man"

Forestry a Revenue Producer.

Norman G.. Gordon, of Chicago, is
deeply interested in forestry and in
an interview stated that while very
recently the study of forestry was
confined to the care of large areas,
there has now come demand for
the study Of smaller tracts of wood
land.
Every farmer" he said, has his
wood lot, from which he draws sup
ply of fuel that may or may not be
enough for his household needs with
out coal. Any sale OF the more val
liable sorts of wood that he may make
Is incidental, the result of chance
seeding Of maple, white oak, elm or
hickory. Now, a white oak or a
hickory is no harder to raise than a
red oak or a chestnut. The farmer
who looks ahead is asking for infor-
nation that will tell him how best
to develop the neglected wood lot,
which, in the next generation, IL not
in his own time. will prove a source
Of revenue not to be despised."

Southern Cranberry Limit.

Turkeys can be grown anywhere;
but cranberries, their necessary &C
compartment, are only Northern pro-
duced. Nevertheless there are vast
bog areas in the middle and southern
portions of the country, which if cram
berries could be acclmated to them,
could be we'll utilized for this crop.
With this idea in view the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has prepared a
small cranberry bog on it's expert
ment farm. This is perhaps the
southernmost plantation of cranber-
ries in the United tSates outside of
the Allegheny Mountain region. The
success or failure of the enterprise
will have an important bearing on
the future use and development of
waste areas, now bringing no return,
but so located as to be adapted to
the cultivation of this crop.-Farm-

Color Of the Modern jersey.

1t is the common error of judges
At dairy shows, and even Of some
breeders, to pass over Jerseys which
show a great amount of white in the
color and more especially owing TO
the position in which the white
patches are placed. Cows of this
class are called grade Jerseys. for as
a rule we are accustomed TO see any
white patches confined to the flank
and underneath portions OF the body;
in one instance a Jersey with a large
patch of white on the shoulder. a
large star on the forehead. and a
considerable amount of white on the
right thigh and flank, won first place
in competitions of considerable con-
sequence, was first and champion in
the Jersey COW classes at the Oxford
County show in England and is the
property of that well-known breeder,
Lord Rothchild. Here in our own
country we have a Jersey COW with
streak of white extending right
from underneath the forearm to the
shoulder. and yet ii was the Grand
Champion in the Jersey COW class at
the United States National Dairy
Show, held recently in Virginia.
AS rule one prefers to see whole
colored animals winning first place
in Jersey classes; but if We bear in
mind that only about ten per cent. of
the original COWS placed in the Jer-
sey register, in the Island of Jersey,
were without white markings. we will
not be surprised wnen an animal of
undoubted pedigree is presented bear
ing white marks. Do what we can to
breed whole colored animals. now and
again our very best COWS will throw
back and give us calves showing a
| considerable amount of white.-ln-

Average Hen Yield.

Statistics show that the annual av-

try is just about six dozen. Quite
short of the 200-egg mark, isn't it?
The general run of farm "dunghills"
lay seldom above this average, while

There is a disease that sometimes
occurs among chicks, which misleads
the poultryman, and is known as the
white diarrhoea. The discharge is
white and similar TO mucus. The
chicks do not appear roopy at first,

but the result is finally death. Whole
broods have been swept away in some
instances. 1t is nothing more or less
than roup, which nearly always at
tacks chicks in the bowels. The prop

A Modern Granary.

Some writer's tell us that the aver

lack of proper buildings in which to
store them and hold them for profita-

While the writer cannot vouch for
the above statement. he does know
that an Improvement in the usual
storehouse for grain. etc, on the av-
erage farm is not only desirable, but
very necessary if the farmer would
