David F. Houston, secretary OF ag-
riculture. has just issued a circular
letter to the wom-
Of interest to en- members Of
Farm Women. $1,000 farm house.
the United States, requesting them to
give him information as to how the
department Of agriculture can best
serve the needs of the farm women.
These letters were addressed ITO
housewives in the homes Of the Of
fetal crop correspondents" and was
sent to the full list of crop correspond
ents for transmission to the women
members of their households. With
each letter was supplied return en-
velope in which the women can for
ward their suggestions.
This inquiry results from the re-
ceipt of letter addressed to the Sec
rotary in which the writer said:
The farm woman has been the
most neglected factor in the rural
problem and she has been especially
neglected by the national department
of agriculture"
This letter was written not by g
woman. but by broad-minded man,
SO thoroughly in touch With the agri-
cultural and domestic needs Of the
country that his opinions have great
weight Following the receipt of this
letter, the secretary determined that
the best way for the department to
learn how to give these women the
fullest possible aid and service which
their important place in agricultural
production warrants, was to write to
the women themselves and ask them
to make their own suggestions.
In the letter these women are in
vited to give individual answers to the
letter or to discuss the matter in
their church societies or women's or
CARNATIONS and submit answers rep
resenting the combined opinions Of
the women of their entire communi-
ties. The answers are requested not
later than November 18th, and this
date is set because it will give the
women time after harvest to consider
the matter and discuss it with their
women neighbors.
This letter went to about 20 leading
farms in each of the $500 counties of
the United States. Their answers, it
is expected. will represent the views
and opinions of upwards Of 100000
farm women. These answers will be
carefully considered by the special
lists Of the department having to do
with that branch Of agricultural &C
tivity.

carblnes for Cavalry.

A proposition to convert the new
Springfield rife into carbine for the
use of the mounted service Is being
considerably by the ordnance officers Of
the army. The plan is to shorten the
barrel Of the rifle four inches. and by,
SO doing to reduce its weight by two
pounds thus making It much easier
to handle by the mounted troops. The
sights also are to be adjusted to meet
the shortening OF the barrel.
The decrease in the muzzle veloc-
ity, it is claimed, will not be SO great
as to interfere with its effectiveness
up to range to 1900 yards. The
ordnance department had been asked
to make report On the proposition,
and the cavalry board will take II up
and include it In its report on the re-
organization of the cavalry and ON

cording to the specialists Of the depart
ment, there is no reason why eggs
cannot be broken, canned and kept -
IN excellent food Just the, same as
other products are canned and kept
for use when the fresh supply u low.
As in all canning, however, the spe-
eialists have made clear that It is
essential that nothing but perfect eggs
be canned and that they be canned
under such conditions Of cleanliness
and kept In such low temperatures that
they have no chance to spoil.
Under the new system Of canning,
the eggs are canned in rooms and with
utensils that rival In cleanliness the
appointments Of the hospital operat-
Ing room. Everything is sterilized and
those who actually break the eggs
have to clean their hands much as a
surgeon does before operating. Each
egg before being broken is candled
and nothing but perfect eggs come
into the breaking room. Each egg Is
broken separately into cup. II. by
any chance. the egg is other than first-
class, it is not dumped into the can,
but is removed from the breaking
room and before the breaker can re-
sumo work, she must clean her hands
and sterilize all the instruments she
has used. The actual breaking is
done with eggs at low temperature,
and in q room where the air is cold
enough to prevent any change in the
nature of the egg. The cans OF eggs
are then sealed and frozen and kept
frozen until they go to the baker at
the time OF egg shortage. Through
these means the specialists are conf
dent that good eggs can be canned at
the time when eggs are plentiful. and

The holes may be discovered by

they should be stopped up at night

Beating against our fevered hearts
AS birds beat blindly through an April
