DEADLY FOE OF FEMININISM
Writer's Bitter Crltlclem of Type of
Women Very Much In the
Minority.
There Is one type of woman, whom
1 venture to call "Old Woman," who
is probably a bitterer foe l& femlnln-
Ism than any man, and that is the
super-feminine type, the woman for
*hom nothing exists except her sex,
who has no interests except the deck
ing of her body and the quest of men.
This woman, who once dominated her
own speclee, still represents the ma
jority of her sex. It is still true that
the majority of women are concerned
with Httle save the fashions, qpveto,
plays and vaudeville turns. Those
women want to have "a good Ume"
and want nothing more; they are
rendy to prey upon men by flattering
them; they encourage their own weak
ness, which they call "charm," and
generally aim at being pampered
slaves, because, from their point of
view, It pays better than being work
ing partners. Evidence of this Is to
be found in women's shops, in the con
tinual change In fashlosQ each of
which Is a signal to the male, and In
the continual Increase in tfle sums
spent on adornment; It Is not uncom
mon for a rich woman to spend 1600
on a frock; $250 has been given for a
hat, and $26,000 for a set of furs, —W.
L. George, In the Atlantic.
Rude Shock.
Americans traveling abroad soon
find out that the language they speak
Is not looked upon always as genuine
English, either by the haughty Eng
lishman or the natives of the con
tinent of Europe. One already aware
of this view, who thought he was
hardened to It, got the rudeat ahock
of all laat summer, f
In a Paris book store window h«
saw aeveral little red books.
"How to Learn German," waa the
UUe of one of them. Another was
called "How to Learn Spanlah," anoth
er "How to Learn Italian," and so on.
The American waa looking at them
with an uninterested air when bis ex
pression suddenly chsnged to one oi
utter amazement. Casting his ey«
on sUll another of the little red book*
he read on Its cover:
"How to Learn American!"
How It Happened.
His wife had made a little quiet la
vestlgatlon of his coat
"Henry," she said in no pleassnt
tone, "you never mailed the letter 1
gave you last week. I can feel H
right in the corner of your coat"
Her husband brought out the coal
In a rather shame-faced way. There
was no doubt, the letter waa Just
where she said. Reaching Into the In
slre pocket, he groped down and down
nnUI he st last graaped the envelope.
"Yea, my dear," he replied; "you
see, It slipped down through the torn
lining you promised to sew up more
than a month ago."
Applied Knowledge.
The teacher waa giving a lesson in
lathematlcs and English combined.
"A fathom," ahe said, "la a nautical
word used In defining distance. II
means six feet Now, I want eome Ut
ile girl to give me a eeateace using the
word fathom."
Instantly a hand shot up la tbe rear
of the room.
"Well, Mary, yon may give your sen
tence."
Mary atood up proudly.
"Tbe reason fliee can walk on tha
celling," said ahe, "to because they
have a fathom."

There are soma very pertinent

do well to aak himself, and to give
the moat careful consideration.
They concern the upbuilding of
business In almoat every looalltv, and
are worthy of your time and atudy.
Have you any Interest In Issuea
like theae:
What percentage of your business
comes from the community surround
ing the location of your store, and
lust how desirable Is this trade T
In comparison to this have you
ever estimated what the purchasing
power of the people you can reach
really amounts to?
It would not be a mere waste of
figures to get at these facta, but they
would reveal a condition to you which
the retailer who goes ahead muat
face. In the future be will find It
neceeaary to see how much business
there Is to be obtained In his line In
his locality, and then adopt means
to get his share or that bualneaa. It
la being done In eome placee and per
haps the method uaed will Interest
you.
This llluatratee only one phaae of t
very complezed situation, yet there
may be something In It that will
lead to an awakening to the real ne>
ceeslty of the present day.

eeed for the eoll, teach them Crop
rotation, the beat crops to ralae, and
In fact ahow them how they could
greatly Increaae their proflta.
They aecured a man who was an
authority In this line and the rerults
of his diagnoses made his work rery
BP polar.
The movement la so sattofacorx
that It haa >een practically mad* a

SEEDS ON DRY FARMS
Producer Must Understand His
Business to Succeed.
If Psrson Is doing to Cater to' Cus
tomer* In Se'ml-Arfd Sectlona Ha
Muat' Pay Strict Attention to
Deal red Varletlea.
(By DR. 7. S. HARRIS.)
I All practices In dry-farming focus
around the one Idea of earing the
moisture. This is done in two gen
eral ways. First, by prevenUng loss
as near as. poaslble and, second, by
using the limited supply which is
present as economically as possible.
| In regions of small rainfall all the
j various factors entering Into the pro
' ductlon of- crops must be as favora
ble as possible if profitable yields
are to be obtained. Dry-farm crops
are growing under the stress caused
by a lack of water, and If other
things in their enrironment are not
'favorable, Is difficult for them to ma
ture properly. By supplying their
needs In other respects they can In
part overcome the handicap caused
by the scarcity of water.
Only certain kinds of crops can
withatand the withering hand of
drouth. Some are by their very na
ture suited to grow in humid cli
mate*. and they could not withstand
the dry conditions encountered In
arid regions for a single dsy. Their
leaf area and structure are such that
all the molature would very soon he
loat from the plant Itself. Other
planta are ao arranged that they can
retain much of their water even under
very dry conditions. Their amount of
evaporating surface Is small In pro
portion to root area. Thus the leaves
can be supplied with water as fast
as it Is lost and the plant tteelf Is
not In danger of being withered. The
water lily Is at one extreme and the
cactus at the other. All, the culti
vated plants He between. Some of
the crop plants are decided In tt||{r
preference for a wet environment
while others csn endure drouth with
ease. Moat of them are Intermediate
In their needs.
Some of the cereals, Uke wheat and
barley, produce well even when the
water supply Is not all that could be
desired. On the other hand timothy,'
redtop, alslke clover and a number of
similar crops do not do well If kept
too dry. For the hotter arid regions
the various sorghums have been found
to be good crops. In cooler climates
potatoes and peas often do well. Al
falfa Is sometimes a good crop,
eepeclally in the production of seed.
Taken for mopt climates, however,
wheat Is king of all the dry-farm
crops. There are a number of vari
eties of this crop which are good
drouth realatera.
After deciding what crops to raise
on the dry-farm the next queatlon la
to get varieties which are suitable for
arid conditions. It Is here that the
eeed producer must understand bis
business if be Is to be successful. On
the dry farm It to not enough that
eeed wheat be free from weeds and
disease but It must also be of the
varieties which are capable of thriv
ing In dry weather. If the aeed la be
ing raised under arid conditions and
told for planting under wet condi
tions the variety is not* so Important
except In so far as It affects the orig
inal yield. On the other band, If a
person is going to cater to customers
with dry farms he must pay strict at
tention to varlatlee If be desires to
build up a reputation for wheat Of
the winter wheats. Turkey red has
given almost universal satisfaction. It
has some bad featurea, but these are
more than compensated for by its
many desirable qualities. Of oourse
the beet varieties must be determined
for each set of conditions.
PLOWING FOR DRY FARMING
Method of Dsep Breaking and Prep
aration Will Be Found Satisfactory
Except on Heavy Sod.
When land Is plowed four to six
Inchea deep near planting time, It la
very eeeential that the soil should be
thoroughly lined end compacted. The
pecker should follow the plow ks soon
as poeelble. Four to six Inches are
deep enough for late breaking as
when the soli Is broken deeper than
this. It Is difficult to pack properly.
After using tbe packer the ground
should be disked thoroughly; this will
aid In packing it, and at the same
Ume, cut up the sod and clods on the
surfsce.
• After dtoklng, the surface may be
further fined with the spiked toothed
barrow, or a drag .of some kind.
Wiere a drag Is used, one must be
eareful pot to leave the surface smooth
and slick. A smooth, slick eurfsee Is
very unfavorable to evaporation, and
will allow the soil to dry rapidly Aay
such slick placee should be gone over
with the cplke toothed harrow. This
method of deep breaking and prepara
tion will be found satisfactory except
where the sod Is very heavy. In sueb
easss, early, rather than late break
tag should be practiced; If this Is not
practicable the breaking should be
nuufa shallow.
Weeds Are Undeelrable.
WeeJe la seed Intended for the dry
farm are particularly undeelrable, aa
there to usually barely enough mole
tare In the soli to produce a crop, and
If the weeds are preeent they eaally
rob the crop and cause a failure. Ua
der Irrigation enough water can be
added tor both the crop and the weeds
but this to not poeelble oa the dry
farm.

DESTROY ALL AILING £OWtS
Dleeaae Generally Attacks/Moat Sue
eeptlble of Flock and Tffey Should
Be Killed at Once.
(By U. r. OItKELET.)
Moat ailing or dlaeased chickens or
hens had better be killed than doo
tored. In the first place It la by far
the quickest way. Again, It at once
doee away wltb any risk from oon
taglon Moreover a once alck ben,
even If ahe does seem entirely recov
ered, seldom develops lQtp a first
claae layer, and second class layers
seldom pay.
There Is another point, often over
looked. Disease generally attacks the
weakeet or most susceptible of tha
flock, and no flock waa ever benefited
by. keeping in It blrde of .thle kind
when it is known they are sueb. It
Is true that now and then some trivial
thing may all an otherwise atrong
bird, and it would be a mistake to
give her no opportunity to recover.
We have had caaea of llmbemeck,
humble foot or slight lapneness or cold,
that yielded promptly to treatment
A few drops of pain killer or other
hot drink seems to work on limber
neck even more quickly'than on a
cold, and opening tbe^swelling and
applying some cleanalng healing waah
haa bean about all we have ever
found neceaeary for bumble foot
But, aa a rule, ailing hena or cbicka,
particularly If they persist at all In
ailing, we thing had better be killed
and burned or burled deeply.
WHY SOME POULTRYMEN FAIL
Lack of Thorough Investigation Be
fore Taking Up Induetry Haa Been
Uaual Cauaa of Failure.
While there la a great proflt In
ralalng poultry, failure of apeclal
poultry farma la frequently reported.
Lack of proper Inveatlgatlon before
going Into the enterprise baa been
the uaual cauae «f lack of euooeaa.
Then, too, perhaps, bad locations, lack
of the neceaaary amount of capital,
careleea Inveatment, Improper choice
of breeds and character of bulldlnga
bad a great deal to do with the trou
ble.
Some of the essential features* In
the auccesaful handling of a poultry
farm are the development of the
