Owing to the recent freeze most Of
the vegetables have been killed, and as
& result the prices Of these commodi-
ties are going to be higher than ever
before. Hence it is doubly impor-
tant that we should begin at once and
replant these crops in order to be able
to supply the great demand, and at
the same time reap the high prices
that will surely be paid.
For the benefit of those who will
plant their crops over, | give below
list of the vegetables that can be
planted in this and the next month.
February-Adams' early corn, beets
beans, brussels sprouts, cabbage, can
taloupes, carrots, cucumbers, eggplant,
Irish potatoes, lettuce, mustard, Ok
ra, onions, pepper, radishes, squashes,
spinach and kale.
March-beans, beets, cantaloupes,
carrots, cauliflower, cowpeas, cucum-
bers, early corn, elephants, Irish po-
tatoes, lettuce, mustard, okra, onions,
pepper, pumpkin, radishes, squash, su-
gar corn, tomatoes and watermelon.
Though the freeze has done lot
of damage, yet, we hope that it is not
as bad as we think at this time. and
that it will, after all, prove q bles-
sing in disguise.
Every farmer should have before
him four main objects for his stand
, ard, viz: The maintainence of soil
fertility; second, a cash crop; third
hay crop, and fourth surplus crop
By following such a system of farm
ing he is, to a certain degree, always
readys to meet most any emergency
that may arise.
/ 1t is not long until corn planting
time. and we should not, by all means
overlook the one important point Of
supplying ourselves with plenty of thC
very best of seed corn that we car
possibly buy.

the day when the women of the house
hold were kent busy from morning to
night at spinning wheel and loom.
They apply to the period when educa-
ton for women was opposed. They
were then called queens, but were
really made household drudges. The
anti-suffrage sentiment now finds
most Judgment in breasts which are
imbued with the idea of holding wo-
men in subsection and denying them
equal participation in the affairs of
the world.
But the wave already has swept
over all opposition in business, indus
try, professions and in church, social
and club matters.
The ballot ought to have come first.
That it comes last is due first to the
selfshness of the male sex, who, hav-
ing from time immemorial enjoyed a
special privilege, wish to keep it in
their own hands, and, second, it has
been slow in coming because women
have been cowed and intimidated by
ridicule and threats, so that many
have not dared express their opin-
ions.
In how many households are the
women secretly longing for this privi-
lege and yet afraid of ridicule or
worse if they voice their desires ?
And yet the very men who would thus
repress their wives or sisters talk
g.ibly of southern chivalry and OF
placing woman on pedestal. The
pedestal woman is entitled to is built
on a foundation of justice.

Carrie Chapman Gait, president OF the
national American Woman's Suffrage
association, said:

Organization, as well as to the women
of North Dakota, my congratulations
upon the passage by the legislature
of that state of bill granting the
women of the state the right to vote
for presidential electors and for mu-
nicipal officers? AS you know,
have q real interest in the extension
of the suffrage to the women, and
feel that every step in this direction
should be applauded."
On Thursday the president should
be given an opportunity to send Mrs
Gait another telegram congratulatlng
her that the great state of Tonnes

men the right of the suffrage in prc5i

it was the most republican of any con-

In her eighty-second year Mrs. John
Wickersham, of Russellville, Pa, says:

me to try Vinol, and after taking two
