That housekeeping and campaigning
ly combined has been demonstrated
by Mrs. Edna Buchanan Kearns Of
Nassau county, N. Y. In one day
Mrs. Kearns prepared both breakfast
and lunch for her family, put her
house to rights, canned seventeen cans
of peas and six Jars of raspberries and
then went to a suffrage meeting and
made such a good speech, urging wo-
man suffrage in. the interests of pure
food, that she started some profitable
work In the aus of votes for women.
In the course of her speech Mrs.
Kearns happened to mention the can
ming she had done that day, and after
she closed her hearers crowded about
her to ask how she canned her peas.
Then the idea popped into her head
that here was a chance to make some
money for woman suffrage.
Mrs. Snyder, n of the official can
ming demonstrators of the United
States farm bureau. was engaged as
teacher. One town after another fell

the month of August the women gave
practical demonstrations of the fact
that better housewifery and enfran-
chisement of women are twin move
ments. AS Mrs. Kearns said:
I'VE are proving the fact that suf-
fragists can can and car campaign
while they can. Suffrage stands for
the best way of being the best sort of
woman In the home. Why, it was
only a week ago that a whole house
hold was poisoned with pea soup made
from improperly prepared peas"
The Evening Mail of New York city
says editorially Of this movement:
"This sounds like an improvement
on the old fashioned quilting bee,
where the women talked about the
parsons last sermon and the parsons

check by investigators fol Mr.. Ganigan showed 1854 vehicles passing
through this block IN nine hours
The second busiest block is on Michigan avenue between South Water
and River streets. An investigator checked traffic here for eight hours and
counted 1884 vehicles. Next in density of traffic is the block in State street
between Madison and Monroe streets Investigators working nine hours
checked 1904 vehicles in the same period of time.
Without question these are the busiest traffic blocks in the world"

piece by piece, until the scales tip. The subTeasury here credits the i'm
porter only with the whole coins and the chips are turned oe to the assay
office, which mets them up into bricks. These chips amount to several thou
sand dollars n the recent three big shipments.
AS to the sovereigns, the assay office found itself with 2550000 IN its
hands. The importers were anxious to get the benefit of the amount. A law
has been passed allowing them to be credited with the soyereigns as bullion
without melting them up, but there has been a dispute ovr the deductions
to be made for year on the coins, dirt, and other considerations which could
not be settled, and this has made the law a dead letter Uncle Sam
charges 81 a thousand ounces or melting the gold. This does not cover the
cost by a lot
It takes ones breath away at first to look around the furnace room Of
the assay Office, fr gold is lying about n an apparently most careless way
The soveragns are heaped into wooden troughs. The furnace men wear
intense heat. The gold is melted in rough, threeganon crucibes which rest
upon a CRATE Of which jets spray crude oil. A fierce flame. beats around
the crucbles
A workmen seizes a few pounds of gold coins. protects hts face with
hand and throws them into the retort n a few minutes the mass Is a.
golden liquid. Another workman ladies' the precious metal into what look
like extra large muffin tins. These molds arc creased as a cook would do,
too, and the lard flames ID as the hot gold strikes.
The 100000 soveregns ar nothing more than a stack of dirty,
charcoal smudged bricks, each worth about $4,000. They are smaller than
a building brick, but weigh between twenty-five and thirty pounds apiece.
They are not as careless Is they look att the assay Office however. The
gold given to each furnace mar is weighed before being given tt him and
the bricks he produces must contain just that much metal, with a slight al
lowance fol- the disappearance of part Of the alloy.

FOOD AND EXERCISE NEEDED.

Between now and next March will be the time
when a great many men inexperienced with the
management of hogs will follow a practice that
will result In bitter disappointment. The farm pa
pers and the college experts will receive a great
many inquiries as to why the pig crop is a failure.
and in looking through our exchanges of last year
wo find that there were any number of other swine
breeders up against similar troubles mentioned In
this communication. The inquiry reads:
During the past three weeks sixteen of my sows
have had and lost their whole litter OF pigs when
less than half a day old. The sows are perfectly
healthy and In good condition. They have been
sheltered and well cared for, fed on wheat, whole
barley and chopped barley alternately; sailed
very lightly once a week and they have plenty of
good water. At time of narrowing each had a
floored pen. The litters ranged from six to ten
but the pigs were very small and weak, some hav-
ing no hair. Several of the neigbbors are having
the same trouble with their hogs"
1t is not In tho breed, the climate, nor is II con-
tagious. 1t is lack of understanding, the nature
of the brute" The sows must have exercise.
They must have mineral matter in addition to the
grain that you give them-tankage, in the regular
ration, charcoal and wood ashes. II is the miner
al matter that makes the hide, the hair and the
bone of the pigs.
In the higher attitudes where the snow Is deep
a great deal of loss will be experienced In the pig
crop next spring. The heavy snow gives little
opportunity for the sows to exercise. Under con-
ditions OF this kind, the greatest care must be TAX
EN- to see that the sows do not become too fat and
their ration must be looked after with more than
ordinary attention. There is such a thing as taking
too good care Of sows prior to narrowing time.
Too good care is as bad or worse than neglect.
The sow's condition is reflected In her young
probably more than is the case with the COW, the
eve or the mare.-Rural Spirit.
