Many Women Farmers.

Almost a million women In the
United States are either farmers or
farm laborers. Thanks to the popular
lty OF the homestead In the west and
TO belated appreciation Of agrieul-
ture as a field for woman's industry.
this number is rapidly increasing. The
United States, however. has not gone
so far in this respect as England.
There. in the dairy sections, women
have entire control OF the herds. not

II is natural for every man to want
TO get the best possible when he goes
in to bring out some new farm ma
chine. This often brings a fellow to
grief, however, since the desire to
spend as little money as possible
sometimes causes the purchaser to
take the cheap machine. II confront

years for $25, or another that will
last ten years for s35, which one
would you take? Which one would 1t

sum and substance OF buying a cheap

failures in peach growing are due to

that early tillage will endanger the
