DEATH RATE OF THE SEXES
Statistics Show That Women Have .
Right to Expect a Longer Lie
Than Men.

AS Is we'll known, the tern of life
OF women is slightly longer than that
C: men. The difference of the mon
tally rates during the first few years
Of life, however, Is striking During
the first year the m( ctality among
males IS decidedly greater than amona
females. Although more boys are
born than girls, the proportions are
reduced to almost even terms at the
end Of the first year by the excessive
male mortality. Even during the first
four years the mortality among males
exceeds that among females, notwith
standing the fact that there are prac
tically no distinctions made in the
management Of the two sexes. Both
are subject to the same conditions
are dressed virtually the same, and
receive the same food. At the age Of
about five years the comparative
death rate among girls begins to IN
crease. This has been attributed ID
the fact that boys of this age are more
In the open air. The mortality IL
both sexes diminishes from this time
until the twelfth year, when It attain
its lowest point. 1t then steadily
rises, being larger in each successive
year. Between the twelfth and sir
teenth year, for several years, thu
rate Of increase II more rapid on thu
male side. The explanations thai
have been offered for these peculiari
ties are not wholly satisfactory, but
one fact is clear-that during early
years females possess a greater ten
acity Of life than do males.-6undal

HANDLING IMMATURE
FLAX. CROP

FLAX. CROP
This department Is receiving
large number of inquiries about i'm
mature flax crops and what to do
with them.
Often, the crop has failed to pro-
per mature. This came about this
year, largely because Of the dry seed
bed in which the seed was placed
the ground being SO dry that the seed
did not terminate until the rains came
late in July A further peculiarly OF
flax, is that it ripens slowly after the
cool weather Of autumn sets in. Each
farmer will have to decide for him
self whether there is sufficient mature
seed to pay for the harvesting and
thrashing operations. The high price
Of the seed for oil purposes makes 1t
possible, OF course. to probably save
a much smaller yield than one might
do in ordinary years.
The more immature the straw, the
better the feed value Of the thrashed
product; for there will be much i'm
mature seed blown into the chafT
and straw. 1t is also probable that the
immature flax straw contains more
hourishment than mature straw.
Many farmers who have cattle and
hogs, as soon as they find the flax
will not mature sufficient seed, turn
the field into q pasture lot, with
apparent success. Stock apparently
relishes the forage as it stands in the
field. Others have mown and cured
the crop for hay and report that 1t
u thoroly liked by their cattle. We
have some good reports along these
lines foe previous years. Scarcity Of
