The Japanese Woman.

The japanese woman exists pri-
marily for and in the family. We still
adhere to the old way of thinking that
her natural habitat is the home, and
that her appearance at the polls is
as unnatural as on the battlefield. Let
it be far from me to give an impress
sion, already too prevalent abroad and
at home, that we look upon women
only as cogs in the machinery of the
Kitchen or as mere puppets and orna-
ments in the parlor, writes Doctor
Nitrobe in the Japanese Nation. The
personality CT the fair sex is net as
clearly recognized among us as it
ought to be; but | am confident that
it will come with more general en-
lightenment of public conscience. AS
it is at present the aim of female
education is to make "a good wife and
wise mother" a stereotyped shib-
boleth on the lips of all educators and
of the nation, circumscribing the end
and aim of woman's life. According
to this doctrine, it is not as person,
but as Wife and mother, that woman
is to be educated.

A blight which often falls upon the
souls of men who have studied long
and perhaps bear learned titles is the
blight of a narrow and ungenial view
of life They end at the barred window,
and not at an open doorway. Sympa-
thy puts the crown upon the head of
the educated man. He has a fellow
feeling for all men, because his wide
experience of life has enabled him
to understand them. Mingled in this
sympathetic attitude of the educated
man is humility, that grows out Of
knowledge. He stands with Newton
on the shore. aware of the wide. IN
attempted sea. He knows that the
corner of knowledge where he works,
though but a corner, is yet related
to all learning and all places where
others are at work.

How Land Work Affects Climate

The character of climates is vari-
ously affected by the presence or alb
sence of trees and other vegetation.
In a British association address, Sir
Charles p. Lucas noted that climates
became both hotter and colder when
the surface of the earth has been barred
by the cutting down of trees they be-
come drier or moister with the de-
struction or planting of trees; and
healthfulness or unhealthfulness may
be determined by the removal or re-
tanning CT the forests. The Canadian
northwest is cited as an example.
Broken or plcwed land does not re-
tain snow and ice like the unbroken
prairie surface, but it is more reten-
tive of moisture and the heat of the
sur AS result there has been per-
lie agricultural Improvement of
IT, climate, with an extension of the
wheat belt considerably farther north
than formerly. Lord Strathcona be-
lieved that the rails and telegraph
lines of the Canadian Pacific railway
brought some change even before the
coming of the settlers, an increase in
dew and moisture having been quite
evident near the railway.

PLAYING CARDS LONG IN USE
Their Origin Lost in Obscurity-Have
Been Put to Great Variety
Of Uses.

The origin Of playing cards is lost
In obscurity. They are generally as
signed to the Orient, but they are
now almost universal in currency and
popularity. The backs of old English
cards were generally plain, and thus
it was that when paper was scarce or
expensive, old cards were too useful
TO be destroyed. They were, on the
contrary, used for various purposes. !
Thus they are often found in the
bindings of old books. where they
were preserved. The old cards were
also sometimes cut up for paper dolls
They were also used as cards of in
vitation and as visiting cards Thack.
cray refers to this in Henry
Esnond."
The earliest examples of wood cuts
were intended for playing cards. They
antedate the famous St. Christopher
wood cut that is sometimes credited
with being the earliest.
In the olden days playing cards, in
stead Of knitting, were used by spec
tators in playhOuses as an amusement
while waiting for the performance to
begin.
Such widely differing materials as
silver, leather, paper wood, parch-
ment, cardboard, deerskin and even
buffalo hide have all been used in
making playing cards,

SORGHUMS GOOD FOR SILAGE
Trouble Caused by Souring May Be
Avoided II Plants Are Allowed
to Mature Sufficiently.

(By JOHN NJ. SCOTT, Vice Director of
Florida University Experiment Sta
tion)
Sorghums for silage should be cut
when the seeds are in the hard dough
stage or even when they are mature.
There has been some objection to the
sorghums because they are supposed
to make sour silage 1t is likely that
this trouble will not be encountered
II they are allowed to mature sufii-
GENTLY.
Silage made from cowpeas and sor-
ghums is exceptionally good. The pro-
tein of cowpeas will counteract the
excess carbohydrates in the sorghum
and thus narrow the ration Cut the
cowpeas when the pods have formed
and before they have filled. Make the
ratio half and half or two or three of
sorghum to one of cowpeas. Beggar-
weed will also make an excellent mix

Benefit IN DAILY TUBING
Required for Proper Preservation Of
Health and Looks-Turkish
Bath Works Wonders.

1t would be wrong to prescribe hot
water baths for all the world of wom-
en-, for there are undoubtedly condi-
lions when they would be harmful, is
the assertion made by a prominent
physician. But daily Tubing in water
OF some temperature or other is re-
CURED for looks and health, and IL
the heart is in good condition, the
benefits of the hot tub are undeniable.
So the long dead beauties of ancient
Greece and Rome kept themselves
fair, and so the beauty of today builds
up her looks when she finds they are
beginning to wane with time or a
fevered life. Weak woman anxious

flesh. soothing their nerves. And IL
they are used to such baths, or to
some other preferred kind, they feel
as fit as race horses for a week after
ward.
Some medical facts concerning the
usual effects of the hot or cold bath
give this Illuminating information:
The hot bath facilitates and stimu-
lates the natural combustion processes
of the body; the cold bath, to produce
the same results, lavishes just four
times the same amount of energy.
The cold bath is not sufficiently
cleansing for the health Of the akin

Up to about 1889, winter egg-pro-
duction was not much of feature,
son that there seemed no possible way
of getting the hens down to solid work
There was an improvement, how
ever, when better houses. better feed
ing and better care were employed;
but still the supply was meager con-
sidering the output at the present day.
The matter Of food finally became a
serious subject, resulting in the con-
clusion that more animal food must
be placed on the bill of fare
But, how to furnish it economically
did not manifest itself until F. w.
Mann. in 1889, invented and placed on
the market crude machine, but,
nevertheless, the initiative of the
present high-class green-bone cutters
now so extensively used This was
the original bone cutter, and 1t is a
matter Of poultry history that the term
bone cutter was actually coined by
Mr.. Mann.
According to analysis by Prof James
e. Rice the nutritive value of green
bone is 1:5S. which is greater than
any other form Of meat-meatscrap.

Hens are worm and insect hunters,
and where they do not have range,
must be supplied a substitute In some
form Particularly in the summer, the
handiest meat food is meat scrap and
meat meal, many brands of which are
on the market
Green bone is better for fall, winter
and early spring use. 1t Is safe to
feed in an egg ration one-tenth to one
fifth by weight Of meat in the total
ration, the quantity varying with the
richness Of the meat and other foods
used.
1t is best to mix the meat in the
real feed. But in the case of green
cut bone it Is more satisfactory to
feed in troughs. allowing a pound of
green bone for every 16 fowls, or, an
ounce per head.
The animal foods the fowls gather
while on free range are usually high
in percentage of heterogeneous matter,
and not a large proportion Of fat
Many Of the artificial foods, excepting
such as dried blood and skim milk,
contain usually, besides heterogeneous
matter, a high percentage of fat
which is not especially desired in COM
pounding a ration.
1AFor instance, both earthworms and
grasshoppers contain nearly ten times
as much protein as fat, while ordinary
fresh cut bone contains about equal
parts Of protein and fat.
Mistakes have been made in feeding
green bone in giving too liberal a
quantity An excess will produce
aggravated diarrhea and worms and
a too liberal supply of meat scrap is
apt to cause an overfat condition of
the fowls.
