TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Winter Work In the Wood Lot.

Whit vVUIk Ill lilG VfUUu EUt.
1t is always best to attend to this
work of getting in the supply Of fuel
as soon as there is snow enough to get
around comfortably in the wood lot
much better than when it gets to be
deep or drifted, says the American
Cultivator.
Those having an average size wood
lot are fortunate and should take all
reasonable care to keep it in a thrifty,
fiourishing condition. 1t does not re-
quire very large lot to furnish suffi-
cient fuel for family use by careful
management and still keep it in
good, thrifty condition.
The trees that are commencing to
decay or that have obtained their full
growth should first be selected out and
removed. 1t will require more care
and work to do this than TO cut the
timber off clean, but this should be
willingly done for the benefit of the
lot.
The young growing trees should be
carefully looked after and not injured
in removing the larger trees, for the
future value of the wood lot will de-
pend largely on this. The large old
trees will make good wood after be-
ing cut into short lengths by ma
chine, after which they can be readily
split. Where properly thinned out the
new growth will come forward quite
fast, and especially if cattle are kept
out of the lot.

WOMAN D!SCovERER OF
RADlUM UPSETS ACADEMY.
Frensh Scientists Against Admission
of Mme. curie to Ranks.

Mime. Curie's caudidature for mem
bership in the French Academy Of Sci
ences has thrown that body into con
fusion The tradition against women
members is strong. but so are Nine.
Curie's claims to sit as equal in any
body of scientists.
In their dilemma a number Of mem
Ders of the FIVE academies, those of
Moral and Political Sciences. Fine Arts
Sciences, Inscriptions and Bellies Let
tres and the Academic Franchise,
which form the institute, have drawn
up petition by which they hope to
prevent a vote against Mime. Curie and
at the same time to avoid electing a
woman The petition asks that the
institute shall consider the question Of
women as members at its next pIenary
session on the ground that the ques-
ton affects all five academies and
therefore should not be decided by one
alone
| Nine. Curie is likely to be an acad-
emician before the French institute
| settles the question, for the Academy
Of Sciences Of Stockholm. which
awards the Nobel prizes, has expressed
a wish to enroll as foreign member
the woman to whom the world owes
radium.
The question Of women members Of
the institute Is not new one, the ira
dition against them having been pow
erful enough to keep out George Sand
and Rosa Bonheur. Such opposition
however. only dates from the founda
ton Of the institute as such In 1895.
| Its forerunner, the Royal Academy
of Painting and Sculpture, included IF
teen women members. The first Of
these was Catherine Duchemin. 9
painter Of flowers, who became a mem
Der in 1868; the last, Louise elisabeth

Care Of Horses When Idle.

AS the busy season closes and the
horses are idle more of tue time give
them less grain feed and only twice
each day while they are not working.
Give all of the horses the run of some
field or pasture when they are Idle.
The exercise and fresh air alone will
do them good. The horse, above all
other domestic animals, needs album
dance of exercise to harden the mus
cles.

THE POSTAL BANKS.

On January 8, the first working day
of the new year. the postal sayings
bank system is to go into operation
throughout the United States. This
is the promise of Postmaster General
Hitchcock. Deposits will be received
on the morning of that day, and the
scheme is exLecJed to be in full opera
tion long before the Post Otfice De-
partment prepares the annual report
in the latter part of 1914. Mr.. Hitch
cock, it is said, has given some study
to the systems in vogue in Europe and
he believes the new departure will be
successful
The scheme will be on a small scale
at first. Only one bank in each state
will be empowered to do business on
this plan, and, in all cases, small
towns are selected for it. Our post
Office people evidently believe thatRi5
is we'll to go slow in the beginning
with this system. 1t will be in the
nature of an experiment with US, al
though it does well in England, Ger
many, France and some of the other
countries. AS the Republican plat
form OF 1908 urged its adoption, it
formed part of the administration
programme, and, after long contest,
it was enacted. Most of the bankers
OF the country we're against it. AS
the interest which will be paid by the
postal banks will be smaller than that
given by the savings banks and the
other financial institutions which pay
any interest at all, the new scheme
will hardly be brought into active
competition with The old. Therefore
the existing banks were able to make
only weak assault upon the expert
ment.
I" We favor the establishment of
postal savings bank system for the
convenience Of the people and the en-
couragement Of thrift" said the Re-
publican platform Of two and half
years ago. The thrift" argument
has good deal Of force. Many recently
arrived aliens are somewhat distrust-
ful Of the ordinary banks. They want
something with governmental guar
antee behind it. They had this sort
of backing for their savings in the
countries of their birth, and they felt
safe on this account. For those peo-
pie the new scheme in the United
States will have powerful attractions.
Many Americans, too, as we learn
every short time through the losses
which they sustain, are distrustful OF
the savings banks, and hide their
money in stockings, in stoves during
the summer months, and in other
places which they consider to be safe.
The postal savings banks will gather
in these boards. Thus they will add
to the sum OF the fluid capital of the
country, and will have tendency to
give a stimulus to trade.

TUBERCULAR DANGER FOUGHT

Within Two Years.

States Double Number of Sanitariums
Within Two Years.
Sixteen state sanitariums, twenty
eight county hospitals and twenty-one
municipal hospitals for tuberculosis
have been erected and provided for
since Jan. /, 1909, says a recent bulle-
tin of the National Association For the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Within the last two years the num-
her of state institutions for tuberculo-
sis has doubled, and the number s6f
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about thirty to eighty
The expenditure of public money for
the treatment of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less than
$3000.O00 of state money was appro-
priated for tuberculosis institutions In
1909 when forty-three legislatures met
and over 100000 in 1910 when only
eleven legislatures were in session.
The appropriations of counties and
cities for tuberculosis hospitals and
sanitariums in the last two years will
aggregate fully $2,500O00, bringing the
total of official appropriations for tu-
berculosis hospitals up to over $6,000,-
600 in the past two years.
In spite, however, Of this good show
ing the national association states that
not one-tenth of the public provision
for tuberculosis that is needed has
been made. More than 100000 tuber-
culosis patients are constantly without.
