Honsehold Help to Farmers Oosts Millions,
Pennsylvania farmers are paying sp-
proximately $76,380.00 each week and
$3,972,000.00 a year for female house-
hold help to sesist the wives ard
daughters with the work in the homes

Agricuitnre which show that there
are eleven per cent. or about 28.870
farmers in the State employing female

The estimates are based on the se-
sumption that each farmer employe
but one domestic, but in many cases
two or more are employed and the
amount of money paid out annually
would run close to five million dollars.
The average wage paid in the Btate is
$3.20 a week, but it varies in different
counties from $2.25 to $4.00 a week.
The largest percentage of farmers
employing female help are found in
Philadelpbia county where 30 per cent
are represented with paid domestics,
Lancaster county is second with 28 per
cent., and other leading counties are :
Lebanon snd Carbon, 25 per cent.;
Berke, 24 per cent,; Centre, 22 per
cen’,; and Franklin, 20 per cent,
Howe of the amounts paid out week~
ly in the various counties sre: Lape
easter, $8,798 ; Berke, $5,254; York,
$4,666 ; Bucke, $3,808 ; Allegheny, $2,-

come 80 high in price that on the basis
of food values it cannot be listed as of
economig importance,
Through its geographical range at
bome and abroad this bivalve has be-
come fraught with danger from the
sewage polluted waters which now
reach many of the oyster beds from
our large municipalities, ‘rhe thickly
populated communities are mostly
slong the streams owing to the fuct
thet man has always settled near
waterways and in the early days of our
history the industries depended entire-
ly upon water power for their mille,
As there centers of population increas-
ed the disposal of waste became a great
problem resulting in the building of
conduits to lead it into the pure walers
Nature bad given ue, These flowing
streams carried the waters away from
the doors of ope community only to
poison the waters for thoee living
down stream and at the same time
polluting tne waters covering our
oyster and clam beds as well as driving
away from our streams valuable fish,
The raw oyster today is to be looked
upon with saspicion. Great oare
should be observed in purchasing
them, The seller should be known to
be reliable and he should kvow from
what beds he gets his supply.
It is hard to explain why the oyeler
furnishes a fashionable dish when it
hse become the custom to supply the
culle, which s few years ago would
have been thrown back into their beds
as being unfit for the marke!. The
food value of four or five of these culls
is almost nil snd the taste so losipid
that they are flavored with strong con-
diments that entirely destroy what
little natural flavor the culls had;
therefore, it can hardly be ssid that
these culls thrown out from the cook-
able oysters from various bede, are
palatable. They are, however, danger-
ous as they csn sud do sometimes
carry the germe of typhoid fever,
Why, therefore, eal raw culls con-
taining little or no nourishment with
little or no taste and yet not infrequent-
ly carrying germs of disesas,
