WORKING HOURS OF WOMEN
Several States Have Passed Laws
Limiting Them to Sixty Hours
or Less a Week.

During their last session the legisla-
lures of several states passed new
laws regulating the number of work.
Ing hours for women. South Carolina
passed a law limiting them to 60 per
week In mercantile houses and the
textile mills, of which there are so
many in the state.
e In Ohio and Massachusetts a g.
hour bill has been enacted. The Ohio
bill applies to everything excepting
hotels and mercantile establishments.
Utah and Missouri have also passed
nine-hour laws, says Health Culture.
The ten-hour law which the legisla.
ture of Illinois enacted in 1909 is en-.
larged SO as to include practically
every kind Of establishment where
women are employed
Wisconsin has established a S.
hour week, excepting night work,
which is less. Minnesota has strength
ened It's ten-hour law by extending the
penalty for violation so as to include
manufacturing and mechanical estab-
llshments. The states of Washington
and California have passed eight-hour
day laws for women. The law Of
Washington applies to the usual mer-
camille and mechanical establish
ments, restaurants, hotels and laun-
dries, but the California act applies
also to telegraph, telephone, express
and transportation Offices.

cHoKED BIG DOG TO DEATH
New York Truck Driver Fought Vio-
lous Newfoundland and Saved
Several School Children.

With his bare hands. Harry Edise.
II years old, fought and choked to
death a Newfoundland dog, which had
attacked several school children. Only
the heroic work of Edise saved the
children from being mangled by the
savage animal, but he himself was
badly bitten.
Edise is truck driver. He was
driving in Hinsdale street when he
saw a group Of children on their way
from school at the noon hour, rum
ming and screaming. Following them
Was a great black dog, swapping at
the little ones, but fortunately failing
to fasten his teeth in any Of them.
Edise was without a weapon Of any
kind, but he leaped from his truck,
ran at the dog and kicked him. The
brute Immediately turned its attention
to Its assailant and leaping at Edise
fastened its teeth in his left arm.
Edise succeeded in breaking the hold
when the dog again seized him, this
time catching the fingers Of his left
hand.
With his free hand Edise grabbed
the dog by the throat and despite it's
struggles, held on. The choking
forced the animal to release its grip
on the left hand Of Edise, and he
threw the beast to the sidewalk. knelt
on it to prevent it squirming loose,
and while a great crowd gathered
and stood helpless he choked the
animal to death.-New York Globe.

Critical Moment.

At the beginning of the Civil war
men who knew little about military
tactics were sometimes temporarily in
command of small bodies Of the troops
which focked into Washington, and it
Is said that Senator Henry Wilson Of
Massachusetts, afterward vice-presi-
dent of the United States, was. for a
time assigned to the captaincy of q
company Of recruits from his native
state. He assisted in drilling them to
the best of his ability, but one after
noon, as he marched at their head up
Pennsylvania avenue, he met his Wa.
terloo. He had been getting along
very we'll and was beginning to feel
quite proud of. the proficiency Of his
men, when he suddenly realized that
the coping and fence extending south
from the treasury building was right
In his forward patch. He could not

Didn't Mean Il.

Charles d. Hilles, secretary to the

is safe in circulating this slander. It

You can get at the drug store

convert sweet milk into full
cream. buttermilk by simply
dropping tablet into a quart
bottle OF milk and maintaining
the proper temperature. accord
ing to the instructions. Not on
ly because this full cream but
termilk contains the fat in emul-
sitied form is it better than the
buttermilk you buy Of the but

the development OF injurious
bacteria in the milk. This is
important in the case Of infants.
Cholera infantum, some forms of

premises, paid close attention to
the effect extreme winters and sum.
mers would have on fields containing
both buried and exposed crowns.
Here readily observed that the
plants with buried crowns were far
superior in production to those plants
whose crowns were exposed to all the
climatic extremes common to our
northwestern country.

Having arrived at these conclus
ions, was 80 thoroughly convinced,
in my own mind, that this IL the

flowed and had received a deposit of
mud, which after being dried, was
from four to six inches in depth.
This mud, in the drying process
cracked, leaving openings from two
to three inches wide and as deep
as the thickness of the mud.
This field least appeared to be in
shape for a coming alfalfa field Of
any field I ever saw, that is looking
at it from a standpoint of common
alfalfa philosophy. But believing in
my discovery 1 prodeded, without
any further preparation of the ground
to SOW this land to alfalfa, trusting
that most of the seeds would roll
into the cracks. I seeded it broad
cast at the rate of from five to seven
pounds per acre. After seeding, I ran
a common harrow, with teeth slanted
hack, over it once. This served to
make enough loose mulch on top Of
the crusted mud SO the first rains
could cover the seeds sufficiently to
terminate. Then I left matters to
nature.
Results.
Now what were the results? The
first result was, that by this act, I,
in my own mind, fully established
the correctness Of my philosophy
concerning the nature of alfalfa; for
this field for the last four years has
been the talk and admiration Of the
county and it's fame has spread over
the state.
The last two very dry years fully
proved that the crown covering me-
thod is the only method by which
alfalfa culture can be carried to rom.
plete success in the northwest; for
this part Of my large alfalfa field has
produced we'll in spite Of the extreme
drouth. To fully make my method
clear, I will explain the workings of
nature in this field. After the seed
had terminated in these cracks, the

little plants grew rapidly, forming
their crowns at the bottom Of the
cracks. The action OF the air nad
later rains gradually dissolved the
dried mud into a fine mulch and grad
ually covered up the crowns; later
wash from the surrounding hills ad-
ded more cover to it until now tho
most of the plants are covered up to
the depth of six to eight inches.
Later Experiments
After I was fully convinced, in my
own mind, that the superior growth
of this part of the field was due to
the buried crown, I began expert
ments on lands not so situated as to
receive any soil deposits carried by
water from adjoining highlands. On
this kind of land, certain methods had
to he resorted to IN order to obtain
the same results. Here the land was
thoroughly disced, setting the disc so
it would leave trenches. The seea
was sown in these trenches and no
narrowing done. All was left for the
rains to cover the seed and gradually
level the land. Good results we're oh.
tanned only in spots, owing to the
different texture of the soil over the
field as the disc would not make even
trenches. In some places the trench
es were not deep enough, and the
crowns did not receive sufficient
covering; but in every case where
the trenches were deep enough-say
depth of at least four nches-the
alfalfa sown last August has gone
through the winter without any ap-
parent harm from the winters very
severe weather.
In another test, where one-year old
plants were set out by hand in tren.
ches and covered up to a depth Of i
inches (the covering being done grad
ually) the results are extremely prom
ising. The sprouts present at this
time Indicate a growth for the COM
ing season of as many as one huna-
red and fifty stems from one crowh.
Conclusions.
While my method Of the buried
crown has not, as yet, fully emerged
from the experimental stage, it has
carried me to the following very well
based conclusions:
First, that in order to wholly over
come winter killing, caused either by
extreme cold or heaving by ice ga
thering around the crowns, and also
to overcome sun scalding during ex.
IRENE summer heat after the first
crop is taken of, the farmer must
plant his seed in open trenches which
are from four to six inches deep and
