T h e non-recogni ion of woman’s place
in business life is still prevalent, says
MI hh Hat i let Richards in the Hook-
keeper
Many a business man looks
upon tlie feminine element of his offl e
force, from tin- telephone girl to his
prlvnte -r e t a i y (and what on earth
would he do without her?), as a neces­
sary nuisance, and considers the posi­
tion that woman to-day holds In Amer­
ican business life an erroneous one.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that
over six in! 11i< n women and girls In
these 1'nited States are self-support­
ing, and wi ll only nine exceptions they
tire engaged in every occupation In
which m e . are engaged. Since this Is
a fact, who shall say it is wrongly so?
If thi' feminine element Is a necessi­
ty In the home, where his majesty
throws off the cares of the day and Is
ready lor test and recreation, may It
not be conceded that there are those
Tnalltles In women Inat arc necessary
hh a balance to those masculine i|imli
ties which are continually In action in
the business world?
It lias been said that "women art
not all fool.-, although men seem ti

and to-day in France the wife Is not

business, but she has become a most

barrels or boxes scattered all over the
cellar, I have made a set of storage
bins.
Itook six drygoods boxes and
bolted them together as shown in the

them off the floor and a cover on the
box. Then I painted on the boxes the
names of the vegetables we generally

One of the difficulties in poultry
raising Is to get the hens to molt ear
ly, so that they will be ready to lay
in the fall and winter, when eggs are
high. Left to themselves, hens will
take a long time to molt, and will not
finish until cold weather sets in. They
will not then lay until early spring
and all the profits for the winter
months are lost.
At the poultry in
stltute held in Denver by the Colora­
do Agricultural College, W . J. R. W il­
son, a poultry man of long experience,
gave his method of controlling the
molting of hens. A 9 soon as the hens
are through laying he turns them on al
falfa, feeding them dry bran only, in
addition.
Under this treatment they
get thin. Then he feeds them a mixed
ration of grains and meat, giving a
ll^ht feed in the morning and all they
will eat at noon and night.
Under
this treatment they finish molting
quickly, get new feathers and begin
laying in September. By October
they are In full laying condition and
make a profit through the fall and
winter.

Successful dairy farming depends a
great deal on growing the necessary
feed on the farm. City milkmen can
buy high-priced feeds and make
a
profit, but farmers who ship longer
distances require all the advantage
they can get. Alfalfa Is getting to be
one of the most Important dairy feeds.
It can be grown in almost any part of
the country where there Is sufficient
moisture within reach of the long tap­
root, provided that there Is no rock
to Interfere with its growth. If you
never tried alfalfa, commence now by
fitting a small piece of ground very
carefully and make It very rich on
top. The new plants are delicate and
require careful feeding until they get
started. Most failures are caused by
insufficient preparation of the seed bed.

A test ease of the law in Ohio that
forbids a married woman to teach will
probably be made In the case of Mrs.
Merritt Mason, of Helena. She made
a contract to tench before she was
married, and when she took unto her­
self a husband she was told that the
contract was void. She declares that a
teacher can only be discharged for cer­
tain reasons, and having a husband Is
not one of them.

The greatest drawback to the chick

than another that the average poultry
man is liable to err in it Is lack of
fresh air in the coops at night. Slip
out some hot night about 11 o’clock
and you will perhaps hear the thump

Or in the morning take

must prevent the

best results. This condition of affairs
is liable to be worse with Incubator
chickens, because they are raised in
larger flocks and the tendency Is to
crowd them more after taking them
from the brooders.
