RULES THAT WIN WOMEN JOBS
Martha Parsons, Most Successful In
Connecticut Business Life, Tells
What Brings Promotion.

New Britain, Conn.-"Don't fail 10
be punctual, be pleasant to your SUI
periors, TO those under you, and to
those with whom you associate, and,
above all, work, work hard, and work
without a thought Of yourself"
This is the advice to young women
in business given by Miss Martha A.
Parsons, the most successful bust
ness woman in Connecticut, who has
been elected secretary of Land
ers, Frary & Clark, a $4,000 900 cor
poration, and of Charles Forschmer
& Sons, a $4,000 concern. In the fer
mer position she succeeds George M.
Landers, grandson of the founder Of
the business, and at present the pres
ident pro tenn. of the Connecticut SEN
ate.
ITS the only method / followed in
the rs years ! have been In the Office,
starting as s~tenographer and rising
slowly to private secretary to the pres

said she.
Miss Parsons own code Of business
rules is headed by the motto, BE on

opinion. IL: Attend to business dur

MAKING THE FLOWING EASIER
Are Called Upon to Perform
Keep Shares S~harpened.

Flowing is at best the hardest work
u farm horses have to perform.
Few pillow teams are not doing 10 to
30 per cent. of unnecessary work. The
writer has seen plows which he be-
lieved were pulling so per cent harder
than they should, writes e. w. Ham
ilton in an exchange.
We are told that about so per cent.
Of the draft of a pillow is due to the
cutting of the furrow slice. The con
dition of the cutting edge must then
be Of first Importance. Expert plow-
men recognize this and in competi-
tons file their shares to knife edges.
One authority claims that an old
share resharpened has shown SO per
cent. heavier draft than a new share.
Again, engine plows Of the same
make and size have under the same
conditions shown As per cent. differ
ence in draft in favor of the new fresh
ly filed shares over resharpened
shares in ordinary condition. IL will
certainly pay to keep the plowshares
sharp and in proper form.
The set and adjustment of a plow
has almost as much to do with the
draft as condition of the share. A
riding pillow with rear furrow wheel
should pull little or no harder than a
walking plow or plows of the same
widths. Yet how many do it? About
80 per cent. of the draft of a walking
pillow is due to the friction of the
plow on the bottom and side of the
furrow. In the riding plow this fric-
ton is eliminated by carrying the
weight and down and side pressure OF
pillow bottom on wheels.
To accomplish this the rear furrow
wheel is set out about an inch and a
quarter SO that Landslide cannot touch
the side furrow. The wheel is also
set down so the heel of Landslide is
raised off the bottom Of furrow. When
so set the piow bottom will sink into
the ground and hang there. When
pillow bottoms float" in the frame
none of the bottom and side pressure
Is removed and the draft of the bot
toms is the same as that of the walk.

Tug; instead nearly all reliable au-
thorities assert that he lived only in
legend, says a correspondent. The
story of shooting the apple from his
sons head is told in verse and sober
prose, but it is shown that at least
six similar episodes have been discov-
cred in the mythical history or bal
lads Of Teutonic nations. Denmark,
Iceland, Holstein, England, the Rhine
country and Norway each has its Will
liam Tell under another name, bat
possessing the essential points Of re-
semblance. In fact, according to the
international Encyclopedia, the main
features of the legend are common to
all Aryan peoples. 1t is found in the
IcelaDdic T~hidreksaga, in old English
ballads and in Persian poetry. These
all tell of a master marksman and OF
a tyrant who compels him to put faith
in his skill against the natural in
stincts of a father.

Scene OF BATTLE.
Canton of Tug Was Where Swiss
Won First Fight.
Services Are Held Here Every Year
to Recall How Small Body of Men
Vanquished Austrian Army
of 10000.

Zug, Switzerland.-The canton Of
Tug is the smallest undivided canton
of Switzerland, both as to area aid
population. The canton has ninety
two square miles and from that must
be deducted the ten square miles oc-
cupied by the %cantonal share of Lake
Tug and something over two square
on the shore of Lake Aegeri that the
Swiss won the famous battle of Nor
garten in 1915. This was the first
victory achieved in the struggle for
freedom, and each year the Swiss
people hold services on its anniyer-
sary to recall how a small body Of
undisciplined mountaineers, armed
with axe and pitchforks, vanquished
an Austrian army of 10000 under
Archduke Leopold. The flower of the
German chivalry of that day was an
nihilated-a spectacle that proved
prophetic of the passing of knight
hood.
Tug, the capital, is a picturesque
little town at the northeast corner of
the lake and at the foot of the Zu-
gerburg that rises to a height of 1855
feet. The population is less than
thousand. The lake shore has
been embarked and forms a prom
enade from which visitors enjoy views
of the snowy peaks of the Bernese
Oberland and of the Rigi and Pilatus.
In 1887 part of the lake shore slipped
in.
The country about Tug is rich in
legends and folklore. Aitdorf and

PROPER TRAINING OF COLTS
Two-Thirds of Horses Called Vicious
Can Be Managed by Judieious
Treatment-Many Spoiled.

Many valuable horses are spoiled by
improper or harsh treatment in train
ing. A man who is incapable of un.
derstanding the disposition of horses
is certainly incapable OF training
them. Two-thirds Of the horses that
have been called vicious can be man.
aged by proper treatment, says the
Farm and Home.
1t is bad policy to- train a colt un-
less he is in the best of spirits. The
brain will be more active, therefore
the disposition easier to control. On
the other hand, il you train a colt
while he is thin in flesh, in poor spir-
it's and on light food, as some men do,
he will not take notice of objects, and
when on good feed later he is not well
trained. Have them in good spirits,
give plenty of feed, and us less whip.

COLLIE ON THE FARM
Good Dog Is as Essential as
Other Live Stock.
Hough-coated Scotch Variety Is Not
Only Useful Around Sheep, but
Can Be Taught to Drive Cat
tie and Keep Watch.

There is nothing more companion
ible when rambling through the
woods or walking in the country than
a fine dog. On the farm a dog-a
good one-is as essential as other live
stock.
There is no animal more intelligent
or s~agacious than a collie, and no dog
is more suitable for the farmer. Col
lies are very beautiful, graceful in
every movement and are active all the
time. Their heavy coat adds to their
beauty, and enables them to with
stand all kinds of exposure. A collie
is easily taught, and soon learns to
Go useful duties about the place with
out bidding. They think and act for
themselves in an emergency, making
most excellent watchdogs, and always
show loyalty and love for their mas.
ter.
If you have never taken a fancy to
a dog just get a good intelligent collie
and you will in a short time think
nearly as much Of him as any member
of the family. They make fine COM
panions for women and children. They
are very affectionate and their affec-
tons are strong and lasting.
The ro~ugh-coated Scotch collie is
one of the oldest breeds of dogs. It's
history extends way back into ancient
times when dogs of this breed were
used by the shepherds to care for
their focks. 1t is today used for this
same purpose not only in the west
among the mountains and the plains,
but in England and Scotland, as well
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1913-04-10

as in every other country under the
sun, where they have made them,
selves indispensable. They are not
only very useful around sheep, but
can easily be taught to drive cattle
and to keep a general watch over
them, as well as Of hogs and of the
poultry. Many a collie has learned to
keep fowls out of the garden and away
from the front of the house without
ever doing any damage to them. =,
The price of c%ollies, as with fowls,
depends greatly upon the quality and
what they are wanted for. Some OF
our highest show types of collies are
the most intelligent and useful around
the farm. Good puppies sell to the
farmers at from $500 to $1,000 each,
The fancier who desires to raise col
lie puppies pays from SO to $3.50 for
puppies not over two to four weeks
old.
One collie was brought to this
country from England several years
ago for $4,000, and one came last
year at the reported price of $500,
Every year several change hands al
$1,000 each, and many at 500 up.
Collies a be trained easily and
quickly, to do many useful things, but
there is n thing that should be
borne in mind, and that is, the train.
ing should be done by only one per
son. Do not let every member of the
family take a hand in the training OF
the result will be a spoiled dog. When
we'll trained, no farmer will ever re.
greet having spent a little time and
none on a collie.

Costly City improvements.

If all the buildings torn down an

town. Last year the number of build
ings demolished was s19, and a gas
tank brought the total demolitions TO

the houses pulled down was 24,S75,
or approximately four and three-quar-

stroyed were four stories high.

LARGE SLIDING BARN DOORS
RecoIl Spring Buffer Prevents Them
From Jumping Track When They
Are Thrown Open Quickly.

Large sliding barn doors have a
tendency to jump the track when they
are thrown open quickly. This may
be prevented by using a recoil spring
to stop the door at the place where it
is entirely open, writes j. Harry
Priestly of Lawrence, Mass, in the
Popular Mechanics. A buffer or re-
coil spring can be easily attached to
the outside of the building wall as
shown in the sketch. The Buffer A
is fastened on the ends of two sliding
pins, B and G., each one inch in diam
eter and is inches long. The pins

FertiIize Properly.

Farmers are paying out millions OF
dollars each year for fertilizers. Prob
ably the greater part of this money is
well spent, but 1t is possible that 1t
might be better spent, by a more
careful selection Of the goods used,
by adapting the fertilizer to the crops
and soil and by buying on the basis of
the plant food they contain rather
than by seeking goods that sell at a
low price.
