one Of the Influences In Developing
the Farmers Daughter.
Miss Crane Is the house-to-house mu-
sic teacher who drives through the
rural districts Of certain county.
leaving classical selections for the
daughters to practice between bread
kneadings and pie-bakings. She took
me with her on her rounds one day,
Sarah Comstock writes in Golfers.
As we passed farmhouse that stood
near, the road we caught glimpse Of
two girls busily cutting and sewing In
window.
Former pupils of mine," said Miss
Crane. Nov they're going away
where they can study more advanced
music. They're making their trous-
seaux"
A bit of tissue paper fluttered from
the window, caught In a clump Of red
holly-hocks, fluttered on to the buggy.
Miss Crane held it up. 1t was yellow
ish and perforated.
This" said Miss Crane dramatical-
~, Il look upon as one of the chief
influences. It is the paper pattern.
Time was" she went on, when the
daughter of the farm wore wrapper.
But the paper pattern insidiously be-
gan its work. 1t has become one Of
the great influences that has aroused
the farmers daughter"
Aroused her to what?"
Miss Crane shook her head She was
| so deep in reflection that the horse
found opportunity to lop sunflower
stalk. "To what? That's what we all
want to know" she said.
I'm some cases she makes her home
on the farm, and it's lively place
when she does. The farmer Is rich
nowadays and with very few excep-
lions the girl has the good of the
money. She goes away to school, and
when she comes home she keeps her
telephone buzzing and gives parties
and makes her father buy ancestral
clocks and secretaries that somebody
brought from New England in prairie
schooners, and marcels her hair and
goes travelling.
But again she doesn't stay on the
farm. One of my pupils rejected a
rich young farmer to marry st.
Louis man on almost nothing week,
and for no reason other than that she
wanted city life Many girls go to
work rather than live on the farm
where they could be supported"

LIKE UNTO THE SAVAGE.

Woman Retains Her Barbarian In.
stincts to a Phenomenal Degree.
To the cold-blooded, analytical stu
dent of anthropology, woman has re-
tanned all her marked barbarian In
stincts to a phenomenal degree. says
a magazine writer. Her clothing, orna-
ments, love of ceremonials, religious
longings, her likes and dislikes, her IT.
rational affection and hatreds are sur.
prisingly similar to those Of her jun
gle sisters. The various degrees OF So
cial standing and the generations OF
civilization have had their influence,
but their natures, instincts and that
peculiar sense, which for want of a
better name we call intuition, are the
same in every woman, whether she Is
laundress or poetess. For the Man
from Bombay never wrote truer line
than this :"For the colonel's lady and
Judy O'Grady are sisters under their
SKINS"
Three-fourths of our international
marriages are possible because Of this
peculiar savage instinct. It Is idle to
suppose that woman would from
pure reasoning decide to live her life
in company with mere shell OF a man
such as Europe has been sending over
as matrimonial candidates. It Is her
love of ceremonials, Of pOmp and cir
cumstance, of glitter and gilt and pur-
pie and tinsel that lures her to the UNI
ion. Ceremonia1s and pageants OF gor-
geous kind are as breath to her nos
trils. The courts of the old world, re-
tanning as they do the customs and
manners handed down from the times
of semi-barbarism, appeal to her primi-
tive instincts and to her love of power
and display. Witness the strugglings,
plottings and heart burnings In En-
glish society over the presentation OF
some young lady at court. Every
nerve and resource is strained that she
may stand for one brief moment as one
of the central figures in a royal cere-
mony.
Savage life Is full of formal observ-
ances, professions and pageants. Every
act of the barbarian's existence IL
ruled by forms and customs. He prays
in a certain way, he makes cabalistio
signs when he eats or drinks, dies lis
tening to the chants and howls OF his
priests and Is borne to the burial
ground or the burning CHAT on the
river bank with the same ceremonies
that have lasted for generations.

ANSWERS TO Farmers :;:!:: ;:;:

Richland: 81 am in a position "nere
r can obtain salmon from the rl'ei ~
the wagon load. What value nave .n1
fish as fertilizer on an asparagus pou'
compared with horse manure VI oU
mercial fertilizer? w.
Uncooked fish contains about t"ioo
as much fertilizer value as oruin"ly
farm manure. but they are so Oily as
to decay very slowly in the SOIL Noai
" all the use that is made OF nsn DIS
fertilizer requires that they nrst We

tine. Then the flesh, bones, etc., Can
he used for fertilizer 1t is very rlcn
in plant food, and is worth 1oui VI
five times as much as ordinary DARN
ward manure. In fact, it compares
favorably with any of the commercial
manures. such as tankage, blood anu
bones, etc.
White Clay Is Poor.
Seattle: 81 am forwarding you
sample of earth taken from some 10"
swampy land in a creek bottom, ana
would like to have it analysed. Inere
is about eighteen inches OF this on the
surface, OVERLAPPING several feet OF
black muck. At present the Land IS
covered with small growth OF alder
and other trees that are small and IL
can be cleared at a comparatlVely
small expense. u. w. w.
What you have sent to us is a "nlte
clay, such as is usually overlald WIN
peaty soil, or deposits OF vegetaple
matter. We have analysed several
samples of this white clay stratum
and find it to be very poor in the es-
sential elements of plant food, be-
cause of the teaching effect when l
have just mentioned. So far as can
be determined from an examination
of the samples you inclose, we are IN
doubt very much if there would be
wisdom in attempting to make agrlcul-
tural land out of this kind OF SOIL.
Both the white clay and the black
peat are deficient in the mineral ele'
ments of plant food, and it would
probably require very heavy fertil1z-
ing with lime, PHOSPHORUS and pot
ash fertilizers to bring the soil to a
point of profitable crop production.
Two Sprays Effective.
Cashmere: us there any reason why
arsenate of lead should not be mixed
with kerosene emulsion in spraying
cabbage, thereby killing both the aphis
and the cabbage worms? Done on
large scale this would mean great
saving of time and expense If it is
equally effective. Is there any dan
ger to consumers in using arsenate OF
lead or paris green and bran mixture
on cabbage that is we'll headed out and
nearly ready for market? S. S. b.
The mixing of arsenate of lead with
kerosene emulsion will not injure the
quality of either spray. We doubt.
Also if there would be any mechanical
difficulty in mixing them. I am con-
fident that the two sprays would be
fully as effective if combined as they
would be if applied singly. There is
little danger to consumers from the
use of arsenical poisons on cabbage,
since the outer leaves are usually
stripped off before use. There has
never yet been reported any disas-
trous results from the use of these poi
sons upon cabbage.

Helpful Hints.

A cloth moistened with alcohol win
clean piano keys.
Clean linoleum with warm water
and polish it with milk.
To clean marble take two parts of
soda, one of pumice and 'one Of salt,
all in powder, and mix to a paste with
water.
Fat which is to be kept should be
cut up small and boiled in sauce
pan in little water and never put
into the oven to melt.
To preserve fish sprinkle powdered
borax over it lightly and place in a
good situation.
A simple strip that is good to serve
on hot waffles is made by boiling wa
ter and sugar together and adding
cinnamon to taste.
Ink stains on silver or plated ar.
ticles may be removed with a paste
made of chloride of lime and water.
This should be left on for a little
while, and then washed of in warm
water.
Cover plaster-of-paris figures with a
thick coating of starch and water, let
1t dry on the surface and the dirt
will brush off with the dry powder.
In papering room, remember that
large patterns and dark colors will
make it appear smaller, while plain
or striped paper, if a light hue, will
give an impression of increased size.
Milk jars in which the milk has
soured can be most quickly cleaned
by putting first under the cold water
spigot, then filing with hot water In
which has been dissolved a liberal
amount of washing soda.
