A WORD TO TIE WOMEN.

There is type OF we'll meaning
folks-and most of them are women
who ought to be suppressed in some
effective way without serious phys
ical injury. The type in quest IN was
described by friend i'm conversa-
ton n few days ago. He said his wife
had not been well for some time past
the majority of them would dwell
with long faces upon the i'll or ills
from which she was suffering and
some of them suggest ailments that
had no connection with her trouble at
all. SO nervous did this poor woman
thetic and neighborly visits that she
nearly went into a state of nervous
collapse. In the name of decency and
humanity. you ladies who belong to
this tribe. when you call on a neigh
Dor who is depressed and in poor
health, talk about the sunshine. the
fresh air, flowers. birds and other
things that make life sweet and worth
while and even discuss the latest
styles in dress and headgear, but don't
dwell upon the causes, results or posi-
billtles of her i'll health or give a har-
rowing recital Of your own pains or
disorders. What she needs most is
cheering up and to forget for a little
while her own distress. This form of
service hasn't quite the standing Of
converting the heather and sending
them money and old clothing, but it is
one of which there is dire need.

The rugged Brown Swiss cattle
until recently were subjected to
severe criticism from dairy cattle
breeders in this country by reason
OF their departure from established
dairy type. They first came here
in rugged, not to say rough, form,
and with hides that usually lack
ed much of mellowness. But when
one of the breed made above three
pounds Of butter a day in a public
test dairymen began to change their
attitude, and today the Brown Swiss
COW is highly regarded as a milk
and butter producer. The COW
shown produced in one year 1883
pounds of milk and ASS pounds Of
butter fat.

FEATHERS AND EoGsHELLs.

Only II per cent of American farms
did not report chickens at the last
census These were likely truck farms.
Now. if the farmers on the 300, 754
farms reporting hens would raise 100
more chickens and produce just 100
more eggs apiece per year, what an
addition to the food supply that small
effort would make.
The hen tale comes from Omaha that
ting of goose eggs and the neighbor
went to law to recover the hens wages
lost while she was doing the Matching
stunt. After two lawyers had jaw
wrangled the case for three days the
judge gave judgment in favor OF the
hens owner for 81 cents as a proper
price for the hens months Matching.
If a hen can earn this much while sit
ting still how much more does she
earn while working with will?
Fanciers who visit experiment sta
tons often criticise the stock seen
there as bunch of NUTS" unfit for

bunch of beautiful feathers. Expert
ment stations keep business birds, and

over this country the ultra fancy isn't
q drop in the chicken cook pot.
Experiments at Washington with
eggs from the nest in the weeds, in
the strawstack and from under the
hogpen and eggs kept in the farm
house have convinced experts that two
thirds of the loss in eggs is due to
haphazard methods on the farm.
A sample of the pluck of American
poultry women is shown when Mrs
Haynes Shoup of Idaho shipped q pen
of White Wyandottes to the North
American international egg laying
contest, Storrs, Conn. They Travelled
eight miles by muleback, twenty eight
by stage and the rest of the long jour
ney by rail and, Notwithstanding their
long journey, made splendid record

Not the Will of the People.

Primary laws have been enacted as
the best method of securing an express
sion OF the will OF the people, as con-
trasted with the old convention sys-
TEN.
The experience OF all the States,
without exception, is that the result
of primary elections cannot accurate
ly be described as an expression of
all the people. Take the primary in
Massachusetts last Tuesday, for in
stance. The Republican vote last year
was I55,q4S, the smallest Republican
vote in the State during the past
twenty years Mr.. Gardner has been
nominated for Governor when only
43,32I persons voted for him, and even
this small number gave him major
ity of more than 5000 over his oppo-
nent. The Democratic vote for Lieu
tenant Governor, the only office in con-
test, aggregated only 68,46o. as against
I73,428 cast for Woodrow Wilson last
fall. 1t may be argued, of course,
that the $1,000 who voted for Gardner
represented the judgment of the ma
jority of the Republicans of the State,
but one naturally wonders why the
10000 Republicans and the 10000
Democrats who did not vote remained
at home.
These primary laws, admirable in
their purpose, will never accomplish
the results expected OF them until
some plan is devised to make voting
compulsory. The old convention sys-
TEN was condemned because it was
said to be unrepresentative. 1t is safe
to say, however, that the total num-
Der of voters concerned in the cleo
ton of townships, city, and county
delegates in Massachusetts,, as the pre-
cursor to holding State convention to
nominate a Governor under the old
method, would have been as large as
the small minority of voters which has
this year named Mr. Gardner as the
Gubernatorial nominee.
The Washington herald., 1913-09-28

jr., will not only oppose Fielder, but
may actually vote for Stokes. Viii
sons enemies in the State are still i'm
placable, and it would be a sweet NOR
sci of revenge for them if the State
should go Republican. They have
nothing to hope for from the present
national or State administrations, and
would be no worse off than they are at
present should a Republican Governor
be elected.
Then there is the tariff. The greatly
reduced schedules have hit the indus
tries squarely between the eyes. Per
haps this accounts in some measure for
the fact that that the Democratic vote
at the primary last Tuesday was only
so per cent OF the vote cast for the
Democratic Assembly ticket last fall.
The Republican vote, on the other
hand, was only 4 few hundreds short
of their poll last year. The Democrats
will not be allowed to confne their
campaign 10 local issues They will
be called upon to defend the new tar
if law, and this, coupled with the fact
that New Jersey is the President $
home State, will make the contest one
OF national interest.
