SOMETHING TO DO.
Nearly every town and community
all over the country has. more or lees
women, Some of them widows, some
old maids, whom a cruel fata haa com
pelled to face the world and work out
their own living. Some of them sew,
some take in washing, some work out
andt help their neighbors, some nurse
the sick, nearly all having a best bat
a limited and precarious means of, support,-their
sole property consisting of
a small home which! they own. For
these we have a word which may In
some case prove helpful. There are
two ways In which a woman, so situ
ated can greatly better her condition.
One is to take her lot of ground and
convert it Into a poultry yard; the ofh
er is to convert It Into a good garden.
If poultry Is preferred, some ' one of
the non-rtttlng varieties : of fowls
should be selected, and they-should be
of pure blood, as an extra price can
then be obtained for a good many eggs
for setting purposes. The Houdan.
Wyandotte. Black, Spanish and, Leg
horn are good ones, for this purpose. An
Incubator should be used and chickens
raised, but the most profit will be ob
tained from the fresh eggs, which will
alwaya sell at good prices. The gar
den should be devoted not to a31 sorts
of vegetables, but rather to a few
specialties, such as asparagus, celery,
strawberries, , radishes, : herbs things
which will, produce a good deal of
money from a small area. We cannot
for lajck of space give all the details
which would Insure success In these
t-o enterprises, but should any lady
read this article, and become interest'
ed in the suggestions made, it will be
easy for her to obtain the Information
destredv There are 1 women, who are
doing this work: very successfully and
with much pleasure and profit, and
nany more might do as-well.

Mr. Frank Humphreys and hi broth
er Charles, of WlllanLi decided ni
weeks since that the Ikaicifc 'Rotary
Disc low would be a monii-y av4-r for
them. Charles hauled out a two-i-dlsc
from our store and the other one we
sent to Frank at his tMart East skle
station. We have heard foasional fa
vorable reporta from the'nelrhbjTs, but
It was not until last Saturday that we
heard at first hand as to hw the men
are pleased. Frank was in the office
about an hour tellingXus how giadliw
is to have such an lmpl-mnt i round
his faf m. He first turned over lot of
lummer fallow, about Inches ! det-p
ferns and aH. There are a great many
rocks on his place, but ruck have n .
terrors for the Disc plow, as there are
no shares ' to break the ' dlc simily
pushing the rot hs aside or! nillins: over
them. He uwd thie br' m the
olow. turnlna 22 inches of- red hills soil.
and - has : bep'h using the same thrc .
horses in another field plowing 9 inches
deep, though he u s he-intends using
four, as he can make better tijme in
this he is right for therie is ho use

than is required be It steSm power or

would Impel a man to proportion his
power to the amount of siil he is mov-
ng, and w-uM Justify him In using &-
horses In sc.v slla against 3 in others.
This, simple fact seems to prevail, that
the two-dl.i- cutting 22 Inrhes, reciulres
the eame hoikeiiesh as the common
Inch chilled plow at same depth. As
to scouring, Mr. Humphreys says he
was plowing fight along while his
neighbors" chilled plow was t!k-klng. -He

and now expects to do the most of his
work witn tne oisc. ite.i: xurnantf up
