Finland is a paradise for women at least for those of the sex who are desir ous of bolng planed upon the same plane as men socially, politically and industrially. Nowhere else in the civ ilized world are the sexes io nearly upon an equality as there, and the experi ment Ims proved an unqualified success. For more than 25 years the gymnasiums have admitted both sexes, and in the University of HelBinpfors there are now 300 women Btudent. There are two flonrishitiK clubs of - women. About 1,000 are now employed in post- offlcPH, railroad and telegraph bureaus and other departments of the public ser vice. More than 000 are engaged as teachers in schools of various grades, and it is not uncommon to see among their pupils young men of 18, who are preparing for an academic or commer cial career. At least 8,000 women are in business. Fifty-two of the 80 poor houses, have women superintendents, and all the dairies are managed by women.

This . departure is made in view of the improved and more gen eral character of the contents of the periodcal, which will hereafter appear but once a month. The Book will be as large and spicy as ever, stocked from cover to oover with pictures, jokes, sketches, verses and short stories. For variety and excellence of material, in view of the price, 5 cents, The Yellow Book is unique.

A medical authority asserts that death caused by a fall from a great height is absolutely painless. The mind acts very rapidly for a time, then uncon sciousness ensues. When the electric railway in South London was constructed, the delicate compasses in Greenwich observatory, 18 miles off, were affected, and had to be adjusted. Sociologists have been paying an un usual amount of attention of late to the questions of prison reform, reduction of the criminal classes and tbe like. It is said that an establishment for tbe manufacture of calcium carbide will ba established at tbe dw hydraulic powar plant at Ehinefalan, fcwitaarland. 2- 'Irae;ae Newly Plowed Lanrl. When land Is plowed for wlntergraln after midsummer It needs all tbe mois ture that the soil when plowed, and a good deal more, to make a good seed bed. The turning of the furrow expos es a much larger surface to the air, be sides milking a hollow beneath, which alao helps to dry out the soil above It. Knrly In spring, when the land Is cold, this large exposure to the air, which Is then warmer than the soli, may be ben eficial, Even then we never wanted to let the furrow lie more than one or two days without putting In tbe harrow to break up the clods formed by the plow, and which. If they dried In that state, could not he made Into a good seed bed that season. But In late atun mer If It Is necessary to plow, the rough furrow should be dragged over as quickly as possible. It will press the furrow down, causing weeds and stub ble to begin to rot. The roller also Is a help to this. But It Is better to run the smoothing harrow over the rolled sur face, so as to roughen It. The compact ness of the soli brings moisture to the surface, and the roughened surface makes a mulch which prevents too rap id evaporation. American Cultivator.

The result is moot difficult picking and scratched hands. The Hrst picture shows a shavple plan to obviate the diffi culty. If one has many bushes this plan will prove especially advanta geous. The stout wire ring Is put under the low lying branches and hooked. Then the three wires are hooked Into It.

Ameri can Agriculturist. , Gra'n 'helper than Hay. It Is undoubtedly a serious loss to have so much of the hay crop Injured by excessive rains, as has been the case the present year. Yet this may be In part made an advantage to farmers If It turns their attention to grain as a cheaper source of nutrition than even the best liny can be. More than this. If given with enough liny or straw or cornstalks to distend the stomach, grain Is lietter feed, becnuse more eas ily digested. In the coarser fodder so much of the nutrition goes to sustain anlmnl hent or the processes of diges tion, that comparatively little Is left to make flesh or milk or fats. The knowl edge that some grain with hay makes cheaper nutrition Is not half so widely extended as It ought to be. If It were, there would be a better demand for grain and It would sell at better prices. Barn Oat the fStnmna. To get rid of stumps In a field, the contrivance shown In the illustration Is an advantage. It Is made of sheet Iron, supplemented by two or three lengths of ordlnnry 6-Inch stove pipe. The lower part must be large enough to slip over the stumps. A hole Is dug between the roots or at one side partly under the stump, large enough to build a fire. After tbe fire Is once fairly started, the cylinder Is slipped over the stump and the stump stove, pieces of stove pipe are added. Tbe whole arrangement acts as a stove and tbe w hole stump is ournea out completely. Orange Judd Farmer. Shade far Cowa. The fact that with good pasture a cow is able to eat as much In a few minutes as she can digest In several hours Is not properly appreciated by most farmers. If It were they would at least provide shade trees In their pasture lot, or, better still, have a cool, darkened room where, after eating ber fill, the cow can lie and contentedly chew ber end secure from Ufct attacks I A aJ IT" V?4aS V) J" ' YVr1' hsJr IT l'Vafif of flies. It Is the digestion of food rath er than eatlns It that nil th n.nu null Yet.W0 have known farmers who cut down shade trees In the pasture be cause, as thev exnressMl It. Mir kwi would He In the shade all through the day, only eating at night and morning, when air Is cooler and the grass is like ly to be moistened with dew, Drylnar W,t Grain, All wbo are used to handling either brick or tile, know that when thorough ly dry they will abworb a great amount of water without being saturated. Ad vantage Is taken of this fact by grain dealers and farmers, who place .dry bricks which are easiest to handle and least likely to break among damp grain to prevent it from heating. It Is sur prising wbnt an effect this will have If a very few bricks are Interspersed through the heap. Each brick will ab sorb fully half a pint of water If It Is dry to begin with. This will dry out the surplus moisture out of a good many bushels of dnmp grain. This might be used In mowing awsy damp bay or grain In the bundle, though In neither of these positions Is there so much likelihood of Injury as there Is where threshed damp grain Is closely confined In Dins, Porarhnm for thn Kiln. While no kind of grain as feed can supersede corn In cheapness and valup sorghum is a formidable rival to It for fodder, especially when put up In the silo. It stands drought better, which la likely to make it popular In the arid portions of the West, where corn often rails, i ne sorgnuni has too tougb.a stalk to feed irreen. hut when cut anil put. in the silo there Is enough fermen tation to soften the stnlks so that tbey can be eaten. The sweetness of the sorghum furnishes carbonaceous nutri ment just as does the starch of corn grain, anil in even more palatable form. Wherever cane snirar Is made In the South the workmen, who attend the grinding always grow fat from the sugar tney eat. Gleaning After Grain .Harveat. It Is a great mistake to let any stock, except poultry, glean after the grain harvest has been gathered. The poach lng of the soil and Injury to young clover, caused bt other stock running over the fields, more than offsets what good the stock can gain by gathering the wasted grain heads. There are very few wasted heads In modern grain harvesting, except such as are ben! down and cm off with too little straw to be gathered In the bundle. If al lowed n free range, the fowls will gath er most of the grain, and they will pay best for It. as grain so gathered al ways sets the hens to laying again,. Transplanting Veiretab'ea. In setting out cabbage and celery th top should be shortened severely so as to lessen evaporation. This will make a very vigorous growth, beside prevent lng the setbnek which a withered leaf on a transplanted plant always gives. With each transplanting there will come a large mass of roots, so that aft er being twice transplanted the cab bnge or other vegetable will grow with out any perceptible check. If the weather Is not suitable heel the plants in, covering tops nnd all for two or three days. Then the roots will be ready to grow at once. Vcta ih M lk Flow. Deferring the watering for an hour or two In variably causes a slight shrink age In the milk, and a deterioration In Its quality. Allow a cow to go without Its regular food for a short time, and she grows restive n.ii'J anxious, and every one knows what a disastrous ef fect this has Uxm the milk flow. Farm Notes, Good size Is always an Important Item In a breeding ram. How the ground for wheat nnd then apply a dressing of manure. The best sheep are the most profit able uuder till circumstances. An excess of food Induces Indigestion, and Is worse than a spare diet. Finn to feed the milk cows llberully that Is, all they cau eat nnd digest well. When prices for any kind of stock Is low, then Is usually a good, time to invest. There Is no advantage In digging the late potatoes until tbe weather becomes cool. A small flock of sheep well cared for will bring a better return than a large one neglected. Too much of the stock goes to market In an unmarketable condition to make the most out of It. It Is a mistake to sow grass, clover, wheat or ryu In tbe fa!l without a thor ough preparation of tbe soli. Have the surface In a fine tilth. To make farming most profitable and to realize the best prices, all products should be mnrketed in the most attrac tive and finished manner. So far .is can le done, the feeding of all stock intended for market should be pushed so that tbe fattening can be done before cold weather sets In. Better results can be secured with both clover and timothy If the condi tions are sikd that the seeding can be done this month, rather than later. Tbe most productive and fertHe farms can easily be made poor, and a rundown farm can be built np, ac cording to tbe management given by the owner. Remarkable Will Power. The Into William S. Grousbeck, of Cincinnati, never took another law case after his defense of President Andrew Johnson. "The brilliant seeoli which won that case," says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, "proved the man's remarkable, will nnd intellectual Kiwers. He had beeu so ill as to lie confined to his bed, and on the day of the trial, while lying in bed, he jutted down on a sheet of foolscap paper the main points of his defense, lie was driven to the tribunal in a carriage, unable to walk, and spoke extempore for four hours and a half. At the close article XI was voted Uon, and the president acquitted of the other arti cles. Since that time Mr. G roes beck has lived a life of quiet and retirement. In 1873 he built Elmhurst, a noble house of superb proportions, command ing a river view of unsurpassed beauty. A bulletin (No. 7) of the division of entomology of the United States de partment of agriculture says that in 1 France and Pennsylvania an industry j has recently sprung up, which consists of the farming of spiders for the pur pose of stocking wine oellars, and thus securing almost an immediate coating of cobwebs to new wine bottles, giving them the npenrance of great age. This industry is carried on in a little French village in the department of Loire and near Philadelphia, where "Epeira vul garis" and "Nephila flutnipes" are 1 ..I -l.l raised in targe quantities aim soiu in the wiue merchants at the rate of $10 per 100. This application of entomol ogy to industry is one which will not be highly commended. MOTHERHOOD. lira. Plnkhara Doclaros No Woman Hoed Despair. There ere many curable causes for sterility in women.
