Women's Clubs in United States.

Nobody knows how many women's
clubs there are in the United States
The General Federation Of Women's
clubs was registered in the almanacs
OF 1908 as having over 5000 clubs In
Its membership, with 10000 women
on their rolls. But that was in Janu-
airy, 1908, and the federation grows
every year amazingly. 1t contains, too,
only few out of the numberless won-

small clubs, societies and circles every

with any state or national organization,
but exist simply for the pleasure and

nation. The work of experiment
alton is allotted to the specialists
in the various lines, and these
specialists are ready with their
information ON call. Thousands,
indeed, tens of thousands of dol
lars may be saved to farmers in
a few weeks time in a given re-
gion by the station, somply by
means of the information which
is needed at once. Some difficulty
arises in the region, something
threatens, it may be the raid of an
insect pest, as the grasshopper,
or a sudden and malignant dis
ease among hogs or cattle, or, it
may be an attack upon the cereals
or the vegetables or the fruits,
In case there is urgency, the spec
ialists in charge of the depart
ment under which the threatened
disaster logically falls takes the
first train to the infected region.
1t may be that he can at once sug-
gest the remedy, or it may be that
he must take a closer study, if
some new situation has developed,
in order to grasp the situation
in which case he will suggest
every possible means for immedi-
ate relief while investigating, to
prevent a recurrence of the diSas-
ter another year.
In this way, the aid of the bull
letins, of the personal letters, or
even of the personal visits, which
the farmers make to the stations,
when they live near by, is sup
plemented in a decidedly practi-
cal way. Now and then the per-
sonal excursions of farmers, fruit
growers and the like, are made to
explained by the experts i'll
charge.
Important has been the aid Of
the state experiment stations to
the American farmer, including
under that term all who seek
their living from the soil, it is far
less than the aid still to come
through the yet greater work now
under way at these stations. Year
by year new tests are coming IN
to fruitage, new methods of doing
things are ripening into action,
new ways Of making farm life
more attractive and farm reve-
nues more staple are opening.
These stations, it seems not extra
VACANT to say, are among the
most CONSPICUOUS evidences that
there is something else in Ameri-
can civilization besides greed and
graft. They are founded on alb
solute unselfishness. They make
their way forward, carry aid and
enrichment, and at the same time
ennoblement, under the guidance
Of men whose highest aim is to
help others to help themselves.

and how to check it. There is
probably not a station among the
whole three score which has not
proven in some particular line of
investigation as great an aid mega
lively as positively
One is confronted with for
mldable obstacle in attempting, in
any such compass as this, to show
the direct and indirect value of
the station i'll a positive sense,
an obstacle too large indeed thus
to be overcome. One station does
work in the reclamation of soils,
like California, for example,
which transforms whole regions
of desert lands into rich orchards,
simply by showing how these
lands may be restored to fertility
by methods devised by the sta
ton. Millions of dollars in value
have been added to the wealth
OF this state by reason of the work
OF It's experiment station. The
details of how it was accomplish
ed may be had by others simply
for the asking. Another station
gives out, free of all cost, the re-
suit OF the Investigations of one
OF It's staff, and the whole dairy
industry of the world is changed.

test for butter fat, DR.. S. NJ. Bah

OF the amount Of butter-fat in
milk, considered elsewhere more
IN detail. The result has been
that many millions Of dollars have
been added to the wealth of the
people, while the test has been
adopted over the entire civilized
world. The stations of various
states in wheat growing regions
have added many other millions
to the wealth of the states by rea-
son Of the creation Of new wheats

point of view, when corn has been

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Dlgrcssing
from u tariff speech In the House. Mr..
Sheppard. of Texas, charged that Pres
| i,lent-elect Taft did the south a seri.
Gus injustice when he said that 4 fair
opportunity was not presented in this
section for the free exercise Of snf-
rage. Mr.. Sheppard emphaticall;;' de.
MED that such was the case and said
, that Mr.. Taft had made himself ridicu-
lous. ol
The Texas member had reached the
point in his remarks where he spoke
Of the southern political situation
when he was interrupted with a query
/ by MIR. Bates, Of Pennsylvania, who
asked If 1t. was not Mr.. Taft's purpose
| to procure free opportunity for the
consideration OF public questions in
the south. The question brought forth
the declarataion referred to. Mr..
Sheppard added that he believed the
people OF the south were Democratic
because they applied the principles OF
Democracy that were best for the en-
tire country. regardless Of section.
"lf" he said. they thought that Re
publican principles were best they
would adopt them. The south" he
said. "evidently was not influenced in
It's Democracy by sectionalism or race
Issues, because the south was Demo
cratic before the war was dreamed of
or the race issue was remote proba-
bility. IS /, ll.s7
"On the contrary" he declared.
"there we're states in the yuorth that
were solldly Democratic before the
war that have been solldly Republican
since and the charge or sectionalism
/ could be brought against them With
much more fairness than against the
SOUTH" 49,
"Did not congressional districts so
Republican last time for the first time
and was not that evidence OF the fact
that the solid south was broken?" Mr..
Bates inquired. 4@
Mr.. Sheppard promptly rejected the
idea and said that instead OF the south
leaning toward Republicanism 1t was
more Democratic to-day than it was
SO or 60 years ago. rs there were sew.
eral Wing states In the south before
the war. The Wings. ne declared,
we're but the predecessors OF the Re-
publicans, but there had been no Re
publican southern states since the
