Ames, April 10.-The agricultural
exeprimhent station at Iowa state col
lege is in the thick of one Of the most
important pieces Of service it ever
rendered the people Of the state. Be
cause only very few farmers can
come to the college farms and study
the experimental work there, the col
lege is taking the experimental work to
the farmers.
Last winter Director Charles F. Cur
tiss engaged Canadian expert in CO.
operative experimental work, John
Buchanan, to come to the college to es-
tablish similar work here. He has
under way now more than 800 different
experiments in connection with that
many progressive farmers: they are
located in every county in Iowa save
eleven, and they cover eight different
and important farm problems. Every
one of the $50 and more cooperating
farmers has set aside small tract OF
ground from one-half to one and one
half acres in size for the purposes OF
the experimental work If he Is seed
ing it to some crop, the college station
furnishes the seed: If a special fertil-
izing material is required, it provides
that also. The college station also
gives complete instructions for carry
ing on the experiment and helps In
every other way to make it thorough.
The farmer does the work, makes the
observations and finally reports re-
suits In addition, he agrees to bring
his work to the attention Of his COM
munity and to spread its lessons as far
as he can thru local newspapers and
institutes. In Canada such cooperative
work has revolutionized agricultural
methods In some communities; 1t is
hoped that the work in Iowa will be
largely beneficial.
This year eight different lines of ex-
periments are under way, with alfalfa,
with three varieties of oats, with sew
eral varieties of barley, five varieties OF
corn for ensilage, with Silver King and
some local variety of corn, with several
annual hay or fodder crops, with meth
DDS for improving old pastures and
with rock phosphate as fertilizer.
One of the most important OF these
experiments is the last named In
other states, like Illinois. phosphates
have been found very helpful to the
soils, Their value in Iowa is not KNOWN
but this test will be a step towards
finding out. Twenty different farmers

"THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES

Rudyard kiplng's pom entitled THE
Female of the Species" which was re-
Gently published in The Ladies Home
journal has caused a great deal OF
comment, and is said to be like lash
across the face of woman" Mr.. Kip
ing poem mas for its subhead: "A
Study in Natural History"
We are told in the poem that the he
Lear IN the himalayas, or the male cobra
Will often turn aside when encountered
by peasant; but the she-bear or the
female COBRA will not retreat. The re-
rain of the poem runs:
For the female OF the species is more
deadly than the male"
y number of answers to Mr.. Kipling s
poem have appeared, but as a writer in
the December number of Current Liter
AZURE remarks, the most effective of all
the replies is made by Sidney Low in the
London Standard" as follows:
When the Soul of Man awakened, when
the Woman that God gave,
stood revealed his wife and sweetheart,
not his chattel or his slave,
Then he formed his own conception of
what Woman ought to be,
And he made a Plaster Image, and he
told her it was She.
For the Woman as God made her wasn't
good enough for Man;
He invented large improvements upon
Natures cruder plan;
And he made that image nice and white,
and put it on the shelf,
Where he kept assorted virtues that he
did not want himself
Man might govern, fight and reason, to
his perfect satisfaction;
Woman's work it was to cheer him, when
his mind was out or action
woman good, and kind, and clinging,
timid, soft anemic, pale,
For the female of the species was an ad-
junct to the male.
'Eut the woman as Man made her scarce
ly suits our modern notions,
With her nicely guarded instincts and
her primitive emotions;
We have dropped the weaker vessel and
the tame domestic pet,
And our taste finds something wanting
in that saint-like statuet.
so our literary gentlemen have touched
it up afresh,
And have changed the plaster image to
a Demon of the Flesh,
Half Mother Fiend, half Maenad; lest
the generations fail
Armed and engined,' fanged and poison
ed, TO rthe hunting of the male;
with the morals of the hen-coop, with
the Jungle's code OF law,
AS described by Rudyard kipling after
Csome way after) Shaw.
It's no doubt IA graceful fancy; but the
Woman Time has made
Doesn't recognize the likeness so ingen-
iously portrayed
And Man knows it, Mr.. Poet! Knows
your singular ideal
Does not bear the least resemblance to
the Woman that is real;
Knows the Woman is not fiend, nor saint,
nor mixture of the two,
But an average human being-'most re-
markable like you"
