SUFFRAGE NOTES.
DR.. Anna Shaw VIII Lecture On The
Missing Link"

DR.. Anna Shaw, president of the Ma
! tional American Woman Suffrage As
/ sociation, can recount many stories OF
her pioneer days as a lecturer for wo-
man Suffrage, but perhans none OF
them is more surprising than the one
which tells Of how she came to a small
town in the far West late one afternoon
and was greeted by immense bill post
ers on which she read:
"Mrs. Anna Howard Shaw. who
Whistled before Queen Vict0ria,wilI
lecture on 'The Missing Link"
81 had to travel a long distance for
that lecture date" says Dr. Shaw, "and
had arrived only few hours before the
meeting, so that there wasn'th much
time for me TO spend in trying TO clear
up the misunderstanding I could
not even get hold of the chairman OF
the committee. and il wasn't till I went
10 the hall in which the lecture was to
be given that / met the members of
the committee. / asked them how they
happened to advertise me as one who
had whistled before Queen Victoria" 4"
Why. we thought you had they
said.
Il explained that / never had, and
that neither had lectured on the miss
ing link, and that am sure it was not
among the list of subjects ! sent them.
All was CONSERVATION for a few min
utes and then the members of the COM
mittee explained that they must have
confused me with some other woman
by the name of Shaw, who had whist
led before the Queen, and that they had
announced The Missing Link as my
subject simply because they thought
would just as soon talk on that as on
anything else.
II protested that did not know any
thing about it, To this they replied
that the tickets had all been sold and
that / mustn't disappoint the audience.
What was to be done? The people
were already coming to hear me speak.
In desperation l announced that we
would open the meeting by singing
The Star-Spangled Banner, and when
they had finished that / announced
America and by that time / had in
spiratiou. | would speak on woman as
the missing link in our government and
the country's need of her vote The
audience listened well and what was
my relief to have them leave the hall

me to whistle"

HICKS FORECAST
FOR SEPTEMBER.
What Weather Prophet Predicts for
Ninth Month.

A regular storm period is central on
the End, beginning the last two days oi
August and extending to September 5tf
The Moon is at last quarter. in Apogee
and at extreme north declination. The
regular Vulcan period is intensified
by the Mercury and Venus disturban-
ces. with Earth's autumnal equinox ad-
vancing toward it's center.
After these early September storms
do not be surprised If very cool nights
with frosts northward, attend the ris-
ing barometer and northerly winds
that are sure TO follow. The first re-
dictionary storm period is central on
the 7th. Sth and 9Th. The Venus pc
riod is central on the 7th. the Moon is
in conjunction with the Sun and the
Earth, and on the celestial equator on
the 9th Saturn and Mars are in close
conjunction on the 10th and Venus is
at superior conjunction with the Earth
and Sun on the 18th.
II must also be remembered that the
Earth is passing its annual crisis OF
electrical and magnetic disturbances,
from about the 5th to the 18th. The
second regular storm period is central
on the 14th. extending from the 18th TO
the 18th. inclusive. This period IS
near the center Of the Earth's autumn
al equinox. AT the eliminating stages of
the Venus equinox. with the Moon at
first quarter on the 10th. in perigee at
the centre of the period on the 14th,
and at extreme south declaration on
the 18th. Jupiter is in opposition with
the Earth and the Sun on the 18th
The third reactionary storm period
is central on the 18th, goth and 21st
The chances are very favorable for
many icterse Disturbances on and
touching Sunday. Monday and Tues
day, the 10Th, Goth and 21st. In fact,
the astronomic outlook at this time
suggests the probability of continued
storm conditions over the 22nd and into
the storm period Immediately succeed
ing. The Moon being on the celestial
equator on the 22nd, will greatly tend
TO prolong low baromeer. high tenn
perature, with vicious electrical and
atmospheric storms. The third regu-
lar storm period is central on the 25th,
normally extending over the 23rd, to
the 2Sth, inclusive

Old and New SHaae.

Farmer O. W. Fighter Of Indiana re-
ports that he placed well matured corn
in a concrete silo fourteen years ago
and emptied the bottom Of the silo last
July, says the American Cultivator.
Mr.. Fighter says that the only differ
ence that he was able to detect be-
tween the fourteen and the one-year-
old silage was that the former was
slightly more acid than the latter, but
that the cattle ate the old and new ST.
lage alike. A very important fact in
connection with the silage keeping 30
well is that the corn. was ripe when
it was placed in the silo. Incidentally
the silo was a homemade one, the base
Of which was five feet below the sur
face Of the ground line. Such a con
struction with mature corn well pack
ed would almost always preserve good
silage for several years.

PROPER FOODS FOR HENS.

layers Must Have Right Materials For
Production Of Eggs.
Prepared by the United States depart
ment Of agricultural
In order to obtain eggs it is neces-
sary to have healthy. vigorous stock
and to supply proper food materials.
These are heterogeneous material or pro-
TEN, non-nitrogenous matter, succl-
Tents, mineral matter and water. Ma
ture provides the first in the form Of
worms and bugs and when these are
absent or present in insufficient guam
tity, the poultryman supplies the same
sort Of food by giving eggs, meat
green cut bone or beef scrapl milk or
cottage cheese. For the non-nitroge-
nous material nature furnishes seeds
and the farmer gives wheat, cats, corn
barley, etc. For s~ucculents the fowls
in a natural state find them in grass
and other green growing things. The
p%oultryman puts before his charges let
tuce, cabbage, kale, mangels, alfalfa,
clover, sprouted oats, etc. In their nat
ural state fowls find grit for themselves
and the cultivated varieties get grit
and oyster shells. Water, Of course,
must be pure.
A splendid mixture for laying hens
is equal parts Of cracked corn, wheat
and oats. which should be scattered in
the litter.
Bran or middlings and beef scraps
should be kept in receptacles to which
the fowls have access at all times.
Plenty Of exercise increases the egg
yield.
Provide four or five inches Of good,
clean litter in which to scatter the
grain.
When wet mashes are fed be sure
they are crumbly and not sticky.
For the first three days chicks may
be fed a mixture Of equal parts hard
boiled eggs and stale bread, OF stale
bread soaked in milk. When bread
and milk are used car should be ex-
ercised to squeeze all milk out Of the
bread. From the third or fourth day
until the chicks can eat wheat and
cracked corn, commercial chick feed
is a good ration.
Plenty Of pure, fresh water, grit,
shell and green feed should be avail
able from the first day.
There is very little danger Of over
feeding young stock.
Feed the chickens about five times
daily and only what they will eat up
clean in a few minutes, except4at night,
when they should receive all they want.

Queer Old Laws of England That Have
Never Been Revoked.

~ueer via Laws OF England mat Rave
Never Been Revoked.
Although the stocks. like the pillory
and the ducking stool. have been done
away with, a lot of punishments sur
vive in England which are every bit az
medieval.
The most ludicrous of these exist In
the two services-the army and navy
which were renowned in the past for
the cruelties practiced in them in the
name of justice. "Keelhauling' as car
ried out in the navy used, of course. to
amount to execution by drowning.
while in the army running the CANT
Lett was a popular way Of Furnishing
troublesome soldiers.
Here is another queer punishment
which eve has been removed from
the statute book. If you are motoring
or driving in England beware lest you
run over anybody, for If you do so and
cause his death your motorcar or a r
Fiage can be c~Onfiscated. Even a fall
ing tree that caused the death of a hu-
man being can be taken from its owner.
The strangest punishment which still
survives under modern law in England
is that of "outlawry." Only a few
years ago-in 1906 to be exact-a law
yer charged with forging a check was
''outlawed' in the Glasgow high court.
By this sentence the person of the ac-
cused is declared forfeit. He cannot
bear testimony in a court o sue nor
defend an action. He cannot act on a
jury o vote at an election nor act as
tutor or guardian to another person.
If any n robs him he has no redress.

commercial peach growing because
the markets within it's logical radius
for distribution are already abundant
.ly supplied with peaches from dis
tricts which in some important re-
.spects are mor advantageously placed.
1t is the current opinion that the
peach should be planted on sandy or
some of the lighter types of soil.
While it is true that excellent results
may follow the planting of orchards
on such soils. it is equally true that
peaches do well on a wide range Of
soil types, including v some Of the
moderately heavy clay loans and clays.
But, whatever the type, a soil must be
thoroughly well drained to be suitable
for peaches. They will not succeed on
poorly drained soils. It follows that
the heavy clay types which r so
hard and impervious that water does
not percolate through them readily are
to be avoided as a rule. Moreover, a
soil should be moderately fertile. One
very rich in nitrogen is not to be de.
oAACu 10 q SCACA0A uAC oAANO ~ Is AAnS1J
to induce an excessive growth Of foil
age. On the other hand, the impress
sion which is somewhat common that
a poor, unfertile soil is good enough
for peaches is erroneous.
In districts in which alkali soils &C.
cur sites should be selected with a
view to avoiding them. While the
peach tree can be grown. where there
is a limited amount Of the alkali salts,
they disaster if present in large
quantities. It is safer. therefore, to
avoid them as far Is possible.
As a general proposition a site that
is elevated considerably above the sur
rounding areas is to be preferred for
an apple orchard. Relative elevation is
generally Of greater Importance than
actual elevation above sea level.
1t Is a well recognized fact. though
one too often overlooked in selecting
sites for orchards, that cold air settles
to the lower levels. For this reason
it is often colder at the lower eleva~
tons than it is at higher points in the
same locality. This is what is meant
by atmospheric drainage" The occur
renee Of frost in low places when there
is non in elevated areas is thus ex-
planned. For the same reason peach
buds are often winter killed or the
blossoms are injured by frost in the
spring in low places when nearby Or
chards on higher elevations are injured
much less Or even escape entirely.
Where an orchard occupies a site that
Is adjacent to a large body Of water
the Importance Of a relatively high
elevation largely, perhaps entirely, dis
appears. To be a factor in the matter,
however. a body Of water must be Of
sufficient size and depth to have an
appreciable influence: on the local
climate. Because the water warns up
In the spring more slowly than the
atmosphere it acts in effect as a re-
frigerator, making the temperature in
its immediate vicinity colder than it is
at points somewhat distant from 1t.
For this reason vegetation within the
zone OF this influence advances more
slowly in the spring than it does out
side Of that zone. The tendency. fire.
quently very marked, Is for the
blossoming Of peach trees situated
within the zone to be delayed undl
after the season Of spring frosts.
