Again we hear the old familiar sound
of the whistle which is so common at
at this time of the year. Some of our
farmers have already threshed their
grain.
Mr.. HIM, our well liked thresher,
who was in i'll health ever since spring
is now able to take up his work a
gain.
You ought to have seen our farmers
smile when they beheld the rain drip
ping gently on Monday last. The old
saying is:
More rain more grass,
More grass more cows,
More cows more milk,
More milk more money"
The latter of course is the main
thing.

John Brights powers of sarcasm
were almost unrivaled. Some of his

over with the Conqueror, his reply was
prompt, Il never heard that they did
anything else"

Work Of Horses Compared.

Suppose we compare the work done
BY farm horses abroad with the work
done by farm horses IN Pennsylvania.
IL Is generally admitted that Penn.
sylvania farmer does not average
more than one ton Of marketing to
two horses. and he must send one man
with every two horses. Scotch and
English farmers generally put two
tons Of marketing on a one-horse cart
and place two Of those carts in charge
Of one driver. The driver ties one
Of these carts behind the other and
walks alongside the first one. Thus
we have an English farmer doing with
one man and two horses the work an
American farmer takes four men and
eight horses to do.

POLICE WOMEN IN THE WEST
Cities Of Portland and Seattle Are
Said to Have Found the lnno-
walton Satisfactory.

The cities Of the west are never
afraid Of innovations, says the ST..
Paul Dispatch. This is one explana.
ton Of the existence Of police women
in Portland and Seattle. The other ex-
PLANTATION must be found in the fact
that these cities have discovered that
police women are needed in the bust.
ness Of maintaining order and solv.
ing problems Of order in the large
cities. The old theory that men are
the criminals and must be policed by
men is giving way before the fact that
there do appear from time to time
women criminals, and especially be-
fore the fact that women can be saved
before crime fixes them permanently
in its possession.
In Portland there is a woman on
the police force who has done efficient
work In connection with the Young
Womens Christian association - an.
other vital factor In large towns in the
ordering Of the city She had also
accomplished much as a probation Off
GER Having served her term in these,
the woman was ready when Portland
decided that it required a police wom-
an. She is a regular member Of the
department, with the same recOgni-
ton shown to men. IN Seattle there
is also a police woman, although her
appointment is temporary-during the
Alaska Yukon exposition. In all prob
ability, however, Seattle viii find this
one police woman Of such value that
she win be retained.
