WOMAN DOCTORS ARE HIT
London County Council Decides That
When They Marry They Must

London.-The London County Coun
Gil decided that women doctors must
retire from their service If they mar
~. These questions arose on the ap
polntment of three women doctors In
the public health service. The coun'
Gil in such appointments insists that
women shall resign on marriage, and
a similar condition was included in the
case of the three new appointments.
Miss Adler and Miss Wallas. both
progressive members, supported the
amendment. Miss Wallas urged that
the council needed women Of expert.
ence, and Miss Adler said it would not
only be wise to have married women
doctors but also married nurses. Wo.
men could organize nowadays, so there
was no great fear that wages would
be reduced.
Lady St. Heller, the only woman
member Of the municipal reform party,
took view directly opposite to that
Of her two progressive colleague. The
council allowed women teachers to
marry. but she declared she was con-
WINGED that no woman. could do her
duty to her home and family n she
had to go out to work.

makes very even weight. at the
same time It is so flexible that the
drag will work its way down into the
small depressions as well as over the
elevations Of the field.
The brush drag is effective In
knocking the larvae feeding on the
stubble to the ground where it man
giles many of them and suffocates
others by the dust stirred up. If the
drag is built right. there win be parts
of the brush tearing through every
crown of alfalfa in the field and stir
ring up the soil sufficiently to cause
dense fine dust in which many Of
the younger larvae are suffocated and
which the older ones find it very hard
to crawl through to reach the plants,
many Of them perishing in the heat
of the sun.

INJURY FROM WEEViL
INSECT. DOING MUCH DAMAGE
in WESTERN STATES.
Brush Drag Is Effective In Knocking
Larvae Feeding on stubble to
Ground Where Many Are
MangIed or suffocated.
(By =. q. TITUa.l

The alfalfa leaf-weevil, which has
during the last few years been doing
considerable damage In parts Of our
western states, is a European insect
which by some means unknown has
been introduced into this country.
The species appears to be not un-
common throughout Europe and parts
OF Asia and Africa. It belongs to the
large order Of hard-shelled insects
called beetles. and In group gener-
ally called snout-beetles. To this same
group belong many of our most seri-
GUS pests, such as the plum curculio,
cotton boil weevil and strawberry wee
vii. It occurs all over Europe, a por-
tion of northern Africa and eastern
Asia. It probably occurs throughout
all Of the regions in which alfalfa Is
cultivated in the eastern hemisphere,
but rarely causes damage sufficient to
be reported
This weevil belongs to a family Of
insects which feed principally upon
leguminous plants and several species
in the genus have been introduced
into the United States and Canada.
Two of these, the clover leaf-weevil,
and the lesser clover leaf-weevil, have
done considerable damage to the Glow
er crop in the eastern and central
states, and the former has been re-
ported as injuring clover in the ex-
IRENE northwest.S They also feed on
alfalfa and other related plants.
Many methods OF Kidding the fields
of these pests have been tried-burn-
ing, sweeping and dragging with
varying results. Many patterns of the
brush drag are in use, but the one
which seems to be giving the best re-
suits is made by laying the butts Of
rather short brush, i've or six feet
long, In a row on a plank twelve or
fourteen feet long, then another row
should be laid on the first, consisting
Of longer brush, with the butts
trimmed little further back, so that
you will have in effect two brush har-
rows, one following the other. An
other plank should be laid on the
brush butts and bolted to the under
plank. In Weighing this harrow, lay
an ordinary tooth harrow, teeth down,
directly on the brush drag. This

"A good man. he said, "a brave

and the poor young woman died two

Once, at an army reunion, heard
Sickles rebuke a man who was rum

KEEP A DAILY TALLY SHEET
Written Record Often Proves Valuable
a. IN Recalling Some Little Trans
action on the Farm.

On our farm place there was hung
in q convenient passageway a large
slate for the purpose Of hastily jottins
down any notable happening occurring
during the day.
Each evening the accounts were per
manently tabulated and kept for any
later day references which might oc
cur, assisting In making a decided
point
In this simple way great deal Of
the tax and responsibility Of endeavor
ing to recollect this or that happening
on the farm was removed and the to
morrow begun ,afresh-every day In
reality a new beginning with the pre-
ceding days hard work forgotten
cleaned on the slate and the minds Of
proprietor and helpers.
One has no idea how often such q

over at any time; it tells Of certain
amount OF labor that has been passed

that have been entirely forgotten. 4
It also gives history OF the help
employed, which is Of importance in

GIVE LAMBS THE BEST FEED
Care Should BE Exercised That Moth
Ing IL Left After Hunger Of AMI
NAL Is Satisfied.

In feeding the lambs great care
should be taken that no feed is left
after their hunger Is satisfied. There
is another point in the feeding Of
lambs which cannot be too strongly
emphasized, namely, that the food
should be Of the best quality. Ensilage
that is the slightest degree moldy
should never be offered them.
OF all farm animals lambs are the
most fastidious about their feed, and
success in feeding depends largely
upon the manner in which their food
Is given them.
All successful feeders are well
aware that strict regularity in the
hours Of feeding is as essential in the
feeding Of lambs as it is in the man
agepent Of any other kind Of live
stock.
