SIMPLY DEMANDING HER OWN
Recent Discoveries Show That Wom-
an Has Retroeresses Since the
Days of the Pharaohs.

In the days OF the Pharaohs-no less
than in the days of the Roman empire
woman was on a plane of equality
with man. There is thus, perhaps,
nothing eXorbitant now in her de-
nand for the vote. She is only ask
ing for little of her own back.
Sir CASTOR Maspero has unearthed
some Pharaonic papyri which throw
an interesting light on the Pharaoric
consideration OF woman and marriage.
In those days mankind evidently ia
vored kind of trial marriaged, and
this marriage woman entered on terms
OF perfect equality. or even, perhaps,
on terms of superiority.
This was the usual Pharanoic mar
riage contract, as deciphered by Sir
CASTOR Maspero:
Thou takest me to be thy wife and
thou givest unto me a dowry. If it so
hap that | tire of thee or that / cast
my eyes on another than thee, l will
return unto thee a part of thy dowry
and will go where good seemeth unto
me-"

MADE THE CONDUCTOR SMILE
Oignified Lady Thought She Was
Handing Man Her Ticket, But 1t
Was Something Else.

With an air of satisfaction, dig
nified matron living on the South side
settled herself in a section of the Pull
man bound for Chicago-the first stage
in trip to Europe, relates the Kansas
City Star. Presently came the con-
ductor, and the woman handed him
small envelope. The conductor had
grizzled hair and eyes that twinkled.
He looked long and carefully at the OBJ
ject he drew from the envelope.
Did you think, madam" he asked,
that you could ride to Chicago on
this?"
Why. OF course l did" said the
woman.
But | do not think | can possibly
accept this as transportation to Chi
cago," persisted the conductor, whose
eyes were now frankly laughing.
The woman became very reserved,
but her eyes snapped. "On what
grounds do you refuse my ticket" she
demanded.
At this the conductor could not re-
strain his mirth. He held up the OBJ
ject he had taken from the envelope.
Il didn't-no, l couldn't have given
you my bunion plasters."
But she had.

The bugs and insects which eat the
crops apparently never have any holi-

The terribly long stretch of time be-
tween breakfast and dinner tests the
endurance Of the boy during his first
summers work on the farm.
Sixty million dollars were lost by
the American farmer last year simply
because he did not take steps in time

Pining for a Companion.

A Buckinghamshire (Eng) farmer
once wrote to distinguished scientific
agriculturist to whom he felt under
obligation for introducing a variety of
swine: Respected Sir-I went yester-
day to the fair at A. l found several
pigs Of your species. There was a
great variety of beasts; and l was
greatly astonished at not seeing you
there"
Another farmer wishing to enter
some animals at an agricultural exhi-
bition wrote as follows to the secre-
tary of the society: Dear Sir-Enter
me also for a jackass."
The director of the geological gar
dens was on his holiday. He received
a note from his chief assistant, which
closed thus: The chimpanzee seems
to be pining for a companion. What
shall We do until you return?"

Early Strategy.

The origin and the local color of the
following story is German. The spirit
of it one which is not, perhaps, en-.
tirely alien to American youth. Hans
and Fritz, two small boys, had gone to
the rink to skate Hans overcoat ham,
pered him and he wanted to get rid
of it. The German courtroom person
does not check your coat unless you
pay your fee. The fee was only a
penny, but Hans did not have the
penny. He was at a loss.
Huh. it's read easy spoke up
Fritz. Give me your overcoat I'll
take it to the man at the checking
place and say l found it. He'll put it
away. When you are ready to go home
you go to him and ask if anybody has
turned a lost overcoat in to him. Then,
of course, you'll get yours"

AID FOR SOUTHERN FARMERS
Government Taking Steps to Fight
Cattle Ticks and Boil Weevil-
Study Ostrich Industry.

Never before has the southern
farmer been so well taken care of BY
the national government as he will
De In the next fiscal year, according
TO the terms of the agricultural appro-
prlatlon bill just passed by congress.
"hen the measure was being debated
IN the senate, item after item was
added to the bill in behalf Of the
southern, and especially OF the cot
ton farmers.
An appropriation of 100000 for the
eradication OF southern cattle ticks,
OF which sum $50, 900 may be used for
live stock demonstration work. in CO
operation with the bureau Of plant in.
dustry, in areas already freed of ticks,
was one of the benefits the southern
farmers received.
Included in the appropriation for in
vestigations and experiments in ami
NAL husbandry, is an appropriation of
S2i.5O0 which may be used tor the
feeding and breeding of ostriches and
Investigations and study of the os-
trlch industry. This also will bene-
fit the southern farmers and those of
California.
The house provides sS0,5SO for in
yestigation of the ginning, handling,
grading and baling, gin compressing
and wrapping of cotton and for the
establishment and demonstration of
standards for the different grades of
cotton. This amount was increased
by 100000 by the senate, the in
crease to be used for furnishing the
primary markets in the cotton-growing
states with a set Of the samples as
standardized by the government, and
samples of the bleached and un-
bleached yarns made from the differ
ent grades, showing the waste, ten
sile strength and bleaching quality of
the cotton.
For farmers cooperative demonstra-
tions and for the study and demon
stration Of the best methods of meet
ing the ravages Of the cotton boil
weevils total appropriation of $67S,-
240 was made. It was on this pro-
vision that the fight took place over
the acceptance of money from John
d. Rockefeller, the senate adding
100000 to the house allowance pro-
vided that mo part of this sum Of
$67S,240 shall be used in connection
with any money contributed or ten
dered by the Central Education board.
or any like organization"
Another provision which should
make the southern farmers glad was
that for the investigation and i'm
provement Of methods of crop produc-
ton under sub-humid, semi-arid or dry
land condition, because as originally
written, this appropriation did not con-
tain the word sub-humid. The amount
allowed for this work was $160,000.
One Of the provisions which was
intended solely for the most opposi-
ton from the economists in congress
was that Of 100000 for experiments
and demonstrations in live stock pro-
duction In the cane sugar and cotton
districts of the United States.
This provision was placed In the
bill at the instance of the representa-
tives of Louisiana In the house. and
later doubled to 100000 at the in
stance of the two senators from that
state.

FARMERS COMBINE IN RUSSIA
Country Possesses No Fewer Than
3o,soo Cooperative Associations
Societies Loan Money.

Combined effort among the farmers
OF Russia though not much talked
about, has nevertheless reached a high
state Of efficiency. The country pos
sesses no fewer than 30,5O0 combina-
tons of farmers. and though the coun-
try is vast, that number of associa-
tons must go a long way towards
covering the local areas.
There are 1880 societies which
lend money between their members;
and 1900 societies devoted to the
economic distribution and sale of the
crops and animals raised by associated
farmers. Six hundred societies devote
their efforts toward joint crop produc.
ton, and in these the members are
pledged to pay in" their whole pro-
duction to the society.
The establishment of $50 collective
granaries, to handle the IS million
bushels Of wheat produced. is an at
tempt to enable Russia to compete
with our Canadian elevators and may
lead to the establishing of grades, a
boon that Russia has not hitherto ex-
tended to buyers Of her produce. Fin
ally, there are $500 creameries into
which dairy farmers deliver daily. 1t
Is a striking example. and one that
many people would not expect to find
In q country such as Russia. All the
organizations mentioned are entirely
apart from the state.
One OF the most notable of the
many ways by which the Russian gov
ernment helps the farmer is by ad-
vance on the security of their stacked
hay or grain. which enables the grow.
er to hold crops over the winter.

CATTLE IN SOUTHERN STATES
No Mistake In Buying Native or Grade
Cows and Then Mating Them
With Pure-Bred Bulls.

The people in the South are buying
large numbers Of cattle. many times
more than ever before. We believe
they are wise in doing this. but to
insure satisfactory results they should
buy carefully, says Progressive Far
mer. They are not likely to make any
mistake in buying native or grade fe-
males and pure-bred bulls to mate with
them, II they buy these at their true
value, but they should not buy grade
bulls, or those said to be pure-bred
but which can not be registered, at
any price. for breeding purposes
These bulls are worth market beef
prices and no more. Nor should they
pay more than grade prices for fe-
males said to be pure-bred" unless
genuine registration papers are deliv-
cred with them.

TEACH FARMING IN SCHOOLS
Promotion Of Education in Scientific
Agriculture Must Be Conducted
In Public Institutions.

Agricultural colleges, experiment
stations, technical schools of agricul-
ture, agricultural papers, farmers in
stitutes, short courses and other sim
liar activities have accomplished much
but they are now insufficient with
out the aid Of the public schools. The
study of agriculture has a distinct
value as mental training which i'm
proves the quality of the school work
sufficiently to justify its use even if
we disregard the great value Of the
informationn obtained.
The fear that it could not be taught
was quickly shown to be groundless
because it is actually being taught and
very successfully In a great many
places. Certain useless portions Of
arithmetic, grammar, physiology, and
other studies may readily be sup
planted by more practical work in
agriculture, home-making, and other
subjects relating to the everyday life
of the students.
In the rural schools the many things
that may be done or studied include
counting the stand of corn, saving
and storing seed corn, corn-judging,
corn-testing. planter-testing. preparing
the seed for the planter. the prepara-
ton of the seed bed, growth of the
corn plant. processes of cultivation,
the history of corn. and a study of
what becomes of the corn crop, the
study Of weeds, the harm they do. and
the means Of getting rid of them. study
of poultry and other live stock. and
the study of the small grains.

KEPT THEM UNDER HIS EYE
Idea of Garden Party for Fanatics
Proved Salvation Of British Gov
ernor in India.

Lord Suffield went with the then
prince of Walter to India in 1875. At
one place the governor felt nervous be-
cause among his people there were a
number of political and religious
fanatics, who might be expected to
make trouble when the prince passed
through. He was strongly tempted to
lock them all up, but this would have
been a somewhat high-handed action.
and the governor hesitated to enforce
It.
He mentioned his difficulty to one Of
his daughters.
But why not give garden party,
papa?" she replied at once. Invite
them all and keep them entertained
until the prince has passed through" )"
