INDIAN WOMEN AS MOTHERS

In the course of a practical and sug-
gestive article entitled THE Mothers
Part" in the June Woman's Home
COMPANION appears the following:
Frequently n hears the question,
Why is it that an Indian sQuaw, work
ing like a beast of burden, meets so
easily the demands that nature makes
of women? Suffering seems to be un-
known to the squaws. The Indian
girl at the time of puberty has weeks of
enforced idleness in a tent set apart for
her. And however hard an Indian
woman must work at other times she
has from three to five days of freedom
from labor given her every month so
long as she is subject to the periodic
lew. This is granted her solely because
the tribe believes that this indulgence
is necessary in order that a woman be
equal to her work. When we find that
similar provision for the adolescent girl
appears in the rituals of savage tribes
the world over, as we'll as in the code
of Moses and Zoroaster, we are led
to wonder whether some of our educa-
tional and social systems ought not to
be reorganized.'

Professor James E. Rice of the poultry
department of the State College of Ag-
riculture at Cornell University is justly
proud of his prize hen, Cornell Supreme,
which laid $50 eggs in three years, the
highest sustained yield he knows. The
$50 weighed sc. 10 pounds, or 25.8 so times
the weight of the hen. Cornell Surprise,
another crack layer, produced 562 eggs
in three years. The remarkable thing
about this hen is that she laid more
eggs each successive year, laying $50
the first, 1856 the next, and 1876 the
third. This proves, Professor Rice
says, that hen can sustain high pro-
ductiveness for three years, and he
thinks that race of long lived hens can
be raised, to the great advantage of the
poultry industry of the country. -

The following is taken from a recent
issue of Farm and Fireside:
Many country people never enjoy
all the good things they might have for
several reasons. They either do not
know that the member of Congress
from their district can do many things
for them, or else they are too Indifferent
to try for these free gifts. Sometimes
they feel sure that when one gets some
thing for nothing, it doesn't amount to
much, but in this instance one doesn't
get something for nothing. Every tax
payer in the country helps provide the
money for the gifts the Government
lavishly bestows through its public SER
wants.
Everyone knows that seeds are given
away free every year, because there is
much contention about this subject, but
it is not generally known that there are
also valuable plants and shrubs given
for the asking. If any group of young
people want to beautify the school
grounds, the church-yard or the pretty
grove where public meetings are held,
or even their own homes, they should in
vestigate and see what can be done fol
them by their member of Congress
Tulip bulbs, plants, shrubs and things
from the botanical gardens are all with
in the reach of the congressman.
Then there are public documents re
lating to crops, plants and their insec
enemies, animals and their diseases, anC
other free literature that is valuable anC
interesting. The Yearbook of Agri
culture is one of the NEST interesting
volumes ever printed, and it is unfortu
nate that copies are never even opened
in many country homes.

Unslaked lime has been used success
fully for thawing frozen earth in West
Liberty, Iowa. Sewer trenches were
being dug during the winter months.
The ground froze to depth of four feet
and resisted all efforts of the trenching
machine to break it. Finally quicklime
was broken up into small pieces, spread
the width of the trench to be opened,
and covered with straw, hay or manure.
Water was then poured upon it, the
covering retained the heat, and this,
with the hot water, penetrated the
frozen ground sufficiently to enable the
trenching machine to make Roadway.
