WOMEN TO WORK.
conference are to take an active part
In promoting this health program for
women which will be the share of the
Y. w. G. A. in the big health move
ment in China.
The funds for establishing these
health centers, for demonstrations Of
how to care for babies, for health
lectures for the women, for babies dis.
pensaries and for general educa.
tional campaign, will be raised by the
American Y. w. G. A. as part of its
program of world service for women
and girls in 1920.
DR.. Ida Kahn, in recent appeal to
modern Chinese women said, "Let our
women of education in Picking and
elsewhere gather themselves together
to work for.the schools, Red Cross and
Y. w. G. A., and everything else which
bespeaks the betterment of the coun.
try, instead of staying at home to play
poker and sparrow and going out to
attend endless dinners, tea parties and
Dances
"Let us rally our forces and help the
ship Of state to move safely. One per.
son cannot accomplish much, but one
or two hundred millions of women can
work wonders. Let us 60 back to a
more Spartan-like simplicity Of living
and let us build up social service until
every city in China is sanitary, every
section of the town has it's proper
schools, and every child, whether boy
or girl, is sent to such schools. True
social Service brings democracy in it's
train, and we who are citizens of a |
new republic can help to make it truly
great by preaching and living democ-
racy all the time. Why not learn to
do our household duties, deeming 1t
effeminate to be waited upon by maids
and slave girls all the time?
1.-The status of women in China,
while leaving much to be desired, still
is quite hopeful when we consider
that she is just emerging into the sis
terhood Of the nations. Our men can
depend upon us to bear the burdens of
the day, for nowhere is there a more
Industrious, diligent and persevering
womanhood than in China"
DR.. Kahn is lecturing in this coun-
try on the needs of her fellow country
women, in the interests of the Y. w.
G. A. Educational Campaign which
plans to acquaint people with all
phases Of Y. w. G. A. work in the
United States, South America, China,
Japan, India and Europe. This educa.
donal campaign will be followed by
an active effort to raise the 100000
needed for service for women through
out the world.

The Difference Between a
Man and a Woman

in the endurance contest of
putting up with a shack for
a home, is that the man
can 60 out and work about
the farm and forget how
poor the house is, and the
woman has to stay with it
and suffer the lnconven-
fence always. 1t is always
the man who says, "The
old house is good enough"
If there is any question
about buying a sewing ma
chine or a moving machine
the man usually suggests
that the moving machine
will pay for itself. That
appeals to him more than
his wife's convenience and
comfort, and the more pa
tiently she suffers in silence
the less does he appreciate
her sacrifice. All men are
that way-till they wake

without falling, and the
only comfortable place is
by the stove and at the
table. He who goes out to
do the chores hurries back
and neglects the stock.
Everybody hugs the stove
but father, and he sits
around and endures it.
Conditions all tend to
make everybody sit around
and not only waste o their
time and opportunities, but
. wait for the others to do
it. That brings a nagging
disposition, everybody gets
$grouch, and nobody
cares. When nobody cares
the history of the family is
written and it spells FAIL
URE. In the next chapter
we will tell you how Sue
CESS springs from the
same settings.

Mr.. Street continues. "ChicagO is

have seen it buff at the beginning of
q heavy fog. New York used to be u
brown sandstone city, but is now
turning to one of cream-colored brick
and tile; Naples is brilliant with pink
and blue and green and white and
yellow; while as for Baltimore, her
old houses and her new are, as Bae-
decker puts it, of cheerful red brick

enough to establish the color of red
brick as the city's predominating hue.
And with the red brick house--nartic-

Unnecessary to Slit Crows
Tongues to Enable Them to
Learn to Talk-It Is Cruel

The organ of the Agassiz society
contains a discussion by prominent
bird authorities concerning the old idea
Of Sitting a crows tongue to make
the bird talk. The following is alb
stracted:
1T is a common practice in the West
TO catch the young birds in early June
end place them in a cage, where they
lecOme very tame and usually talk as
we'll as parrot. Many people keeping
these birds have believed it necessary
to slit their tongues before they could
learn to talk. This is wholly unneces-
sary and cruel and should be prevent
ed by law.
"The discussion Of Sitting crows
tongues is relegated TO the medieval
limbo Of belief of the ill luck of pea
cock feathers; of dragon flies sewing
up ones ears; of whisky for snake
bite; of man-eating sharks; Of rab-
bits feet and the number 10; of going
under ladders, splitting salt and break
ing mirrors"

Many new focks of sheep were es-
tabllshed in the farming states last
year, and this spring their owners will
for the first time experience the lamb
ing and shearing seasons. Spring,
which Is the lambing and shearing sea-
son, is the harvest period Of the sheep
raiser, say specialists of the United
States department of agriculture, and
the size and quality of these crops de-
termine the profits. At this time extra
attention should be given to the ewes
and lambs. In no other way can time
be used to better advantage on the
farm.
If the ewes have not been properly
fed and cared for during the fall and
winter, the crops OF lambs and wool
can be neither large nor of high quail
ity. 1t is the weak, thin ewes that re-
quire most attention in the lambing
season, though previous mistakes can
not be remedied at that time. On the
other hand, failure to be constantly
nearby while the lambs are arriving
may mean the raising of only an 80
or 90 per cent crop of lambs where a
125 per cent increase-considering
that many ewes will have twins-can
readily be realized from good shep-
herding of focks of mutton quality.
Advantages Of Early Landing.
In many sections it is most profit
able to have lambs arrive in March or
even earlier. One important advan-
tage of this plan is that other work
Is then less urgent and full attention
can be given to the ewes and the new
arrivals. Another advantage gained
by early Landing is that the lambs can
be made sufficiently heavy and fat to
market in June or July. Early market
Ing usually means higher prices, and
It is especially desirable because the
lambs are disposed of before the time
of greater danger of injury by internal
parasites The eve lambs are stronger
than those which arrived later in the
season and are, therefore, kept for the
breeding flock. They are less suscep-

on a Warm Day.

Most Satisfactory.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture,
Sheep shearing is usually done in
late spring after the lambing season.
The work should be performed on Il
warm day, so that the ewes may not
become chilled. For tiOcks Of less
than fifty head, hand-power pachines
are the most economical. These ma
chimes are more rapid, produce
smoother work, injure the sheep less,
are more easily handled, and result
in a larger crop than where hand
shears are used.
After the fleece has been removed
out Of it and it should be rolled up,
not toe tightly, the skin side out, and
tied with paper Irvine. The value of
the wool crop is often impaired by the
use of binder Irvine in tying up fieeces.
Anything Is superior to binder Irvine,
and paper Irvine Is most satisfactory.
Boxes for tying fleeces are not neces-
sary; in fact wool shows better IL not
tied too tightly.
Farmers in New York and other
states have profited largely by coop
erative marketing Of their wool. I'm

As often as we thought of her,
We thought OF a gray life
That made a quaint economist
OF a wolf-haunted wife;
We made the best OF what she bore
That was not ours TO bear.
And honored her for wearing things
That were not things to wear.
There was a distance in her look
That made us look again;
And II she smiled. We might believe
That we had looked in vain.
Rarely she came inside our doors,
And had not long to stay:
And when she left. II seemed somehow
That she was far away.
And once, when We had all forgot
That all is here to change.

Was for a moment strange.
Yet there was nothing for surprise,
Nor much that need be told

More than one heart could hold.

periods Of July or August.
Care Of Weak Lambs.
The lamb that is born strong and
vigorous, with good dam, will need
little care. Prompt attention given to
the weak lamb Immediately upon its
arrival will frequently result in saving
its life. In cold weather lambs should
be wrapped in hot flannel cloths to
prevent chilling, which may result In
their death, and the cloths should be
renewed as often as is necessary to
keep the young animals warm. Min
should be given freely and the lamb
strong enough. Sometimes IL may be
necessary to feed the lamb with I'm in
fant's nursing bottle, giving a few tea
spoonfuls of milk every hour for few
hours until 1t Is strong enough to
nurse without assistance.
II lambs are to be sold az three to
five months of age they may run with
their dams until that time. The lambs
kept for breeding purposes should be
weaned at the same time and put on
fresh pastures where there is no dan
ger of stomach worms. Where the
weaving is done at this time the ewes
can be put In better condition for the
fall breeding. When lambs are 10 be
kept on the farm, the best method of
weaving is to leave them on tie old
pasture for three or four days. Iemov-
ing the ewes to scanty pasture to
check their milk flow. AS soon as the
lambs cease fretting for their dams
they may be removed to fresh pas
lures. Ewes with large udders should
be partially MIXED once every three
days until they go dry.

FINISH ANIMALS FOR MARKET.
Horses, Cattle and Some Classes OF
Sheep Can Be Fed Quantities
Of Roughage.

Animals being fattened for market
and animals during the first year Of
their growth should not be expected
to consume large quantities of cheap
roughage, but horses, cattle and some
classes of sheep that are being car
rled through the winter can be fed
rations carrying appreciable quantities
of cheaper roughage, provided they
are properly supplemented with nitrog'
enous feeds of the right sort, such as
legumlnous hays or linseed or cot
tonseed meal.
