all day long. and with equal skill
they cultivate the corn later on. Pre-
pairing the sod with the land roller
and sitting on disk harrow are all
tasks that of late years have been
done by women, since the country
cousins have seen fit to go to cities
and help city cousins twist cigars In
factories, or work In the iron mills.
They have become the handy girl
around the barn." instead Of the for
mer handy man around the house.
They have been reading agricultural
papers, some have attended agricul-
tural schools. and quite few have
not only studied domestic science to
be useful in the farmhouse kitchens
but they have studied feed rations,
dairy methods and soil fertility, so
that they know better how to feed a
dairy COW correctly than did their
fathers a decade ago. They are also
able to enforce the sanitary methods
in and about the dairy barn, SO that
meat and milk inspectors need not
spend extra car fare to inspect their
farm premises.
Still some of their work is done as
mother and grandmother used to do
It. Small farmers, who do not wish
to go to the expense Of buying all the
modern machinery, still cut their
grain with the cradle. and the daugh-
ters bind the grain. No corn husk-
Ing machines have yet been invented
that husk corn like human hand
can. SO women are seen In corn fields
in great numbers. Those farmers
who still cut their grass fields. and
particularly wet meadows, still use
the forks to spread out the grass to
dry instead OF using tedders. and this
work is all done by young girls.
Many farmers still use the horse
power for operating their threshing
machinery, and here the young WON.
en- find numerous tasks they can do,
such as acting as driver, whipping
and urging the horses around and
around the customary circle in the
horse power shed. feeding the sheaves
into the threshing machine. handing
them to the fedder and pushing the
straw from the barn-hoor to the sta
bles below.
In this respect cooperation. how
ever, lessons this kind Of work. For
in many sections It Is customary to
have some farmer make the rounds
OF all the farms in the neighborhood,
with his gasoline engine and grain
separator and cleaner. doing the work
quickly; but even here woman takes

with all this open air work on the
farm. woman is becoming the real
Queen of the Farm. The public
schools begin to teach agriculture.
state experiment stations send out
bulletins giving to them easy meth
ods of study, how to train to become
real handy on the farm, either as
wife. daughter or helper, so that we
have in Pennsylvania, as well as
other eastern states, modern women

besides showing an equal interest in
the method of marketing farm prod
ucts. sowing good seed and applying
the proper fertilizer, according to
modern soil surveys, which tell the
farmers Just what is lacking on his
own farm.
The modern farmers wife does not
think her household duties a drudg-
cry any more. Her better half has
seen that the day is at hand for bet
ter conditions. so he has installed a
modern heating system in the farm
house. bath rooms and first-class laun-
deries. The kitchen is remodeled and
equipped In the best sanitary way
and instead of standing at the old
colonial table working butter into the
old-fashioned forms. she has the

city sister has to buy to keep her

she has to buy from some sister farm

Day after day the words Queen Of

because rural life is rapidly changing
for the better. The school are bet

greater factor in most rural commun-

there is better understanding of the
rural problem by every woman of

those social gatherings some time is

PosterIty to Obtain Record,

We are told that the Modern His

a novel plan OF delivering messages
for Its members to their descendants
100 years from now. Two envelopes
OF durable Japanese vellum have been
sent to each member. with the request
that genealogical memoranda. mes
sages and photographs be inclosed.
The sealed envelopes will be de-
posted in leadlined steel chests. One
will be stored with the associations
collections In the New York public
library. A copperplate inscription
will direct that the chest be opened In
the year 2013.
The second chest will be put In q
vault near the Cheops pyramid in
Egypt. In this way the insurance is
taken against possible destruction by
war or natural causes. The chests
also will contain documents. tablets.
and photographs relating to affairs of
the present year.
