YOUNG WOMEN ON FARMS.

Every Daughter Of the Farmers Fan'-
ly Can Be of Material Help.
From Bulletin of New York State College
of Agriculture
We know that there is large
amount of work to be done in the farm
home, but farmers daughters In this
country are very brave and capable
and ready to lend hand. AS gen.
eral thing, the young woman has 1t In
her power to make her work all drudg-
cry or she can transform it into q
pleasure. How to do this is for her to
study out.
1t used to be believed and said that
the business Of the farm ought to be
wholly in the hands Of the farmer and
his sons. 1t is now understood that
the work in the house is an essential
part Of the farm business, and that In
the remainder Of the labor of the farm
the wife and the daughters have just
as keen an interest as have the father
and the brothers. Moreover, many
woman Is nowadays undertaking the
operation Of the farm itself and is
making good too.
It is quite possible to believe that
every daughter can grow to be an aid
to her father in his business as farm
er, and that gradually she may enter

CLEARING Themselves.

Among the many means adopted for
expressing grief upon the death Of a
relative perhaps as interesting a one
as any Is that met with in the neigh
borhood of the Tully river. in Queens
land. Here two. three or four Of the
deceased friends or relatives will squat
close together, with hands on each 9th
er's shoulders, bewailing for hours at
a time the loss of the dear departed.
1t is not the virtues Of the latter that
are in any way extOlled, however.
What these mourners are really taking
care to do is to show that they and the
deceased were always good friends.
Their object in all this is to prove to
the outside public that they have had
nothing to do with the encompassing
Of the death.-Wide World Magazine.

Potatoes From Maine.

The United States department of ag-
riculture has adopted new quarantine
regulations for shipment Of Maine po-
tatoes. This is to prevent the spread
of powdery scab. The new rules went
into effect Aug. /. The regulations
provide that no potatoes shall be NOV
ed from any quarantined area unless
they are duly certified as fit for either
table or seed use and are packed in ac-
scordance with certified rules. To OBJ
tain the necessary certificates for ship
ments growers must apply for inspec-
ton by federal inspector. and all pO-
itatoes intended for seed use must be
stored and handled according to GER
tain prescribed methods. Lots in
which any Of the potatoes are found
to be infected with powdery scab or
any similar disease will not be certt-
fed under any circumstances for seed
use. They may, however, be certified
for table use after the diseased pOta-
toes are removed and destroyed.

into full responsibility for some part
of the farm business, or that perhaps
If it should ever be necessary for her
to do so, she may become a successful
manager for all the activities of a
farm.
In the farm home of early New Eng
land days the labor Of the women
included not only all the common work
that falls to the hands Of women in
the present day, but also the spinning
and weaving, the dyeing and fulling,
the dressmaking and tailoring, the
candle making and soapmaking and
many other industries that now, along
with those mentioned, have gone out
Of the farmhouse and taken up their
abode in the factory. In those days
the hands of the women were full of
wage earning labor.
Today also there are many women,
and especially young women, who feel
that they need some addition to their
earning opportunity, and to these many
doors are now opening. The revival
Of our ancient industries offers an al
Turing prospect, although this may not
be the most practical field.
Is it not generally the most sensible
thing to take the opportunity that
stands by ones own garden gate?
Why not, then, make a careful study
of the farm conditions right at hand
in order to find out whether there may
not be some fruit or vegetable product
going to waste that can be utilized by
the excellent modern methods Of can
ming and preserving, SO that the family
may be economically supplied with
delicacies all the year round, and some
extra quantities may be sold that will
bring good income? Something like
this should be possible for any ener-
getic and capable farmers daughter.
There are now over 100000 country
girls in our land. Does It not look as
though this body Of eager, buoyant
young women might add something
valuable to the welfare Of our rural
life?

GRANDEUR IN GLACIERS.
The Alpine-Iike Scenery In Mount Raj
nier National Park.

The Alpine like Scenery In Mount Hai'
ner National Park.
Mount Rainier National park is sit
uated in western Washington, about
ffty-six miles southeast of the city of
Tacoma. 1t has an area of 207 $3.50
acres and comprises Mount Rainier
snd all it's approaches. including one
= the largest glacier systems in the
world radiating from any single peak.
surrounding the mountain are beau
tiful forests of fir and cedar, and in the
natural parks below the snow line are
luxuriant fields of wild flowers of all
colors and descriptions. The lower al
titudes OF the park are densely tim
bered with fir, cedar, hemlock, maple,
alder, cottonwood and spruce. The
fOreSted areas, extending to an alti-
tude OF about $500 feet, gradually de-
crease in density of growth after an
altitude OF 1900 feet is reached, and
the high, broad plateaus between the
glacial canyons present Incompatible
scenes OF diversified beauties, seeming
ly arranged to suit every taste.
These parks" as they are called, are
studded here and there with lakes and
streams bordered with clumps of pic
turesque Alpine frs and gorgeous beds
of wild flowers, and in numerous in
stances apparently tender blossoms will
be found pushing their heads out from
under the snow.
The general elevation Of the glacial
valleys at the boundary lines of the
park is about 1000 feet above sea level.
These valleys afford comparatively
easy grade to the lower ends, or
"snouts," of the various glaciers, ap-
proximately an average additional ele-
walton of 1900 feet. At these glacier
shouts the real Alpine nature of Mount
Rainier National park territory is
thrust upon the traveller, and from,
over. around and alongside the glaciers
trails have been constructed with a
view to making the wonders of nature
within the park easily accessible as
well as to provide patrol routes for the
protection of the forests and game.

"About as Terrible as Kitten" Yet
Praised by English Observers.
1t was in school at Salt Lake City
Utah, early in 1913, that CHANGED
upon Mrs. Wells, the first American to
conceive the idea of adding women to
the police force and the first woman ia
be so appointed. When l was told OF
her profession my Imagination few to
the typical figure of policeman in
London. and pictured her a strapping
Amazon In uniform, baton at waist
helmet on head and on her feet the
boots so familiar to us in the stage
farce.
When l encountered my first police
woman l was disillusioned. l found
her not an amazon, but a slightly
built active woman a little over five
feet in height. Her age was between
thirty-fve and forty. She had pleas
ant, firm voice and bright blue eyes,
which seemed to me to be more than
usually observant As one newspaper
described her, she was "about as for
midable as a kitten"
She had come to Salt Lake City at
the request of the civic authorities to
tell them Of her duties, as they were
considering the question of appointing
women to the police force there. Her
work at Los Angeles, CAL, had been so
widely appreciated and her superiors
in Office had received so many letters
