nave also provided attractive barracks
for the use of the girls when their
days work is done.
In other instances, where the farms
are not so large, and the distances are
not so great, these committees have
| been the means of inaugurating cen
! tral clubhouse for the girls of a dis
trict. Here, girls employed on the va
riOus farms in the district are able to
meet for an evening or Sunday after
noon chat, cup of tea, or to listen to
the music of graphophOne, and in
this way lOneinesS-that dreaded bug
| aboO of the farmhand--has been re-
moved.
AS girls learn Of these arrangements
| that have been made for their COM
fort, slowly the old prejudice against
farm life dies out.
At the same time the men and wom-
en- in charge of the work of increasing
this interest throughout the country
speak enthusiastically of the change
that has come over the farmer Gen
orally speaking, the old prejudice of
the average English farmer against
employing women for general work, is
gradually giving way before the great
army of efficient women workers.
The farmer now not only writes let
ters to the board of agriculture and
the committees through whom he en-
gagged the girls, commencing their
work in the highest terms, but the ad-
miration Of the farmer for these CON
scientiOus, adaptable, light-hearted
workers has led in a great number of
cases to his marrying a girl farmland,
which is, Of course, the highest compli-
ment he can pay her.
While girls have proven their efl-
cheney in all departments of farm
work, from operating Il mOtOrplow TO
wedding and haying, one thing in
which they have eXcelled is in taking
care of the stock. The farmers have
been quick to realize this. 1t has
been woman's natural work to care
for children, so why shouldn't she be
especially adapted to looking after the
pets of the barnyard?
AS the numbers of the land army
have grown to thousands, the commit
tee of women, under the board of agrf-
culture which has this work in hand
is constantly introducing new ideas.
For instance, travelling inspectors
visit the district committees, and often
the girls themselves, and thus the girls
may keep in touch with the land army
organization. Examinations are hel1
at various periods of the year and any
ambitious girl who has devoted her
time to specializing in a certain kind
of work, such as dairying, gardening
or poultry raising, may enter the ex-
aminations. Her efficiency is record
ed with the committee, and she Is
given the first opportunity that is open
for her services, with the increased

Cow Climbs Barn Stairs.

A COW of Chinook, Wash, belonging
to Dave Williams, which has long held
the championship for breaking into
neighbors' yards in defiance of all spe-
cially designed gates and locks, has
won a new distinction.
Going into the family barn the other
day, Mrs. Herman Johnson heard
heavy footsteps in the hay NOW above.
Investigation showed this COW con-
tentedly munching Il bale Of alfalfa
hay. The stairs leading to the loft
are at an angle of about eighty de-
grres, and how the COW managed to
negotiate them was q puzzle. Calling
the men, a parley ensued as to how
the COW was to be lowered. While
plans for rigging a derrick were being
discussed, the COW walked down tho
stems in defiance of all laws Of gravi"
tatiOn.
To prevent the COW from repeating
this spectacular performance a heavy
piece of timber was nailed across the
bottom of the steps, but the next day
the COW was discovered in the loft
again, having wrenched out the large
spikes that held the barrier.

European War News

The Germans are still of the belief
that they will be able to reach the Eng
lish channel coast, bar navigation of
the waters and lombard southern Eng
land, and that then it will be easy TO
begin peace negotiations, according to
an interview the Copenhagen Politiken
has had with n prominent member of
the reichstag. He added that the Of
fenslve proved a failure owing TO
heavy losses. Germany had lost in
killed, wounded, and made prisoner
100000 men, he said.
British troops after capturing Kis-
put in Mesopotamia pursued the
Turks 20 miles TO the northward, says
an official statement issued by the Lon
don war office.
Lieutenant Geigel, a star Bavarlan
airman, has been killed on the west
ern front, according to the Cologne
Gazette. He was credited with Is
aerial victories in France.
Gen. Maurice, former director OF
British military operations, has been
retired by the army council, 1t was
officially announced in London. The
council considered Maurice's eXplana-
tion of the breach of regulations he
committed by writing and causing pub
lication of the letters questioning the
veracity of Premier Lloyd George and
Chancellor Of the Exchequer Bonar
Law and decided he should be placed
at once on retired pay.
Fourteen tons of bombs were
dropped by British aviators on Peron-

Haig reported to London. Eight air
planes were shot down.
One of the most daring and magnifi-
cent bits of work ever done by British
battle planes was carried out in France
when two English machines fought 20
German scouts to a standstill, destroy
ing eight of the enemy and forcing
several others to abandon the conflict
because they had been so badly shot
up. The British machines returned
safely.

general interest and illustrated stories
of the work of the land army.
That the experience of these girls VIII
give strong impetus to the back TO
the farm" movement IS already shown
in innumerable little ways.
Many of the girls are planning
when their soldier boys, to whom they
are engaged, return home, to settle on
n little farm, and many women whose
husbands are doing their bit at the
front have declared their intention OF
taking up farm work permanently
when the men return.
Many inquiries have come to the
committees from young women, VINO
have expressed n desire TO continue
farming in one of England's colonies
after The war, and the government has
been asked what, if any, arrangements
have been made to meet this request.
In answer to such a request the fol-
lowing appeared in recent number OF
the official farm magazine:
Nothing very definite can be done
in this matter until after the war; but
a register is being prepared Mt head
quarters of the names, addresses and
qualifications of those girls who wish
TO take up this work. When the war
is over the various colonial govern
ments will be approached with a view
TO obtaining special facilities in the
colonies for all the girls whose names
are on this register"
So, no longer is there a question as
to farm work for women being an ac-
cepted or recognized occupation. The
woman farmer of England has come to
stay. VIII the American woman fol-
low her example?
