SHALL WE GROW WHEATT
A Situation Which ('•refill Farm
BuoklcrrplDK Show*.
The farmers In central New York
have received such an impressive les-
KOll this season in the growing of
wheat that profit and loss In the busi
ness Is now for the first time a subject
of serious consideration. Whether to
continue the buying of costly fertiliz
ers and trying to raise a crop of wheat
in competition with the great and
growing west and the Hesßlan fly or
adopt some other system of farming,
and, if so. what, is a question of seri
ous, special and immediate interest to
the farmers in at least twenty counties
of central aud western New York.
Aided by farmers' institutes, experi
mental stations and the practical pres
entation of farming methods by ac
knowledged standard publications, the
agricultural people all over our coun
try and especially in the Empire State
are beginning to "keep books." and In
the account book of one of our prac
tical farmers is found, for the season
of 1901. the following estimated cost
of growing one acre of wheat: Plow
ing, $3; harrowing, rolling, drilling,
$3; seed, $1.50; phosphate, $2; thrash
ing. fl: total cost. $10.50. The product
of the field was an average of twenty
bushels, which is probably a liberal
average in central and western New
York, and the charge for thrashing
does not include the feeding of horses
a dinner for hungry men. The
credit Bide had twenty bushels of
wheat at "0 cents a bushel, or a bal
ance for one aere of $3.50. Deduct
from this the interest 011 the land at
SSO an acre, which is $2.50. and we
have $1 left for taxes, Insurance and
a new point for the plow.
The continued low price for wheat in
all of this section, taken in connection
with losses by the chinch bug, the spar
row and the Hessian fly, has com
pelled our farmers to consider whether
there may not be some product substi
tuted In the place of wheat in at least
a part of farm management.
The discussion has not yet become
general, but up to this time the predom
inating opinion Is for the raising of cat
tle for the dairy or beef or for both,
and the inducement for this change is
the belief that l>eef, In average price,
will never be lower and that, wheat will
never be higher; that the ranges on the
vast plains of the middle west are fast
decreasing as pastures and are being
taken up as farms for the growing of
wheat and corn.
A discussion of the subject is not in
tended in this article, but simply and
very briefly to call attention to a mat
ter of increasing interest in this state,
concludes a Kural New Yorker writer.

of Pleasant City, O. ''A terrible cough
set in. that, in spite of a good doctor's
treatment for several weeks.grew worse
every day. We then used Dr. King's

Sleeve* Uaiorr.
Sleeves on some of the bodices and
fancy waists are considerably larger.
Skirts of street costumes are to be
somewhat shorter, and those for re
ceptions, dinners or any sort of house
wear are to be lengthened, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
For "full dress functions" for the
winter season are to be worn some
lovely white lace dresses made up over
two thicknesses of white moussellne
brilliant or chiffon, the coquilles of
lace and chiffon forming the trimming
being daintily intermixed with loops
and ends of irregular lengths of the
narrowest black velvet ribbon. There
is nothing novel of course about the
use of black velvet ribbon. It was sup
posed that the summer season would
practically end its marked vogue, but
this is not the case. Its use will be
manifest In the season before us.

"What can women do in politics?"
was at least partly answered in the
elections in New York city. The Wo
man's Municipal league was all on
one side politically, if it was a question
of politics, this time in the great town.
The league was opposed to the party
in power for what the members con
sidered good and sufficient reason.
They believed it wns demoralizing
municipal government, so they resolv
ed to work against it with the lim
ited facilities they had. The first
thing, of course, was to raise money
to help the men whose side they were
on whip out the ins. When it comes
to raising money, that part is always
relegated to women by even the oldest
fogies, those who would die before
they would let a woman vote or be or
dained as a minister. But these fogies
patted the ladies on the back and said,
"Bless ye, girls, goon and raise money
flor us," The league got together $20,-
000. A bishop contributed SSO, while
Mrs. Arthur Dodge, in behalf of the
Woman's AntisufTrage society—anti
suffrage. notice—gave them SIOO. Pret
ty soon those autisuffrage ladies will
be taking so much part in politics that
they will 110 longer know "where they
are at." The league women had a
pamphlet printed called "Facts lor
Fathers and Mothers." They employ
ed twenty-five large wagons and a
number of messenger boys to distrib
ute these "facts" through New York
and Brooklyn. They had them trans
lated into German for the Germans.
They visited the wives and mothers of
voters and urged their cause. They
worked as disinterestedly as nobody
but a woman can do for months.
When at last victory crowned their
banner, they turned over the money
they had left to the men's campaign
committee to help pay its expenses.
But if those devoted ladies had had
each her good ballot to deposit as
well how much more effectively they
could have worked!
If, «
"Men has more self control than wo
men." I heard a clubwoman say bold
ly and not ashamed. They has, has
they? It is also to be hoped that in
general they "has" a better knowledge
of English grammar than this clubwo
man had.

In a street car the other day I saw
a working girl holding upon her lap a
large parcel and intently studying p.
book of etiquette. It was open at
"Weddings," and she conned it o'er
and o'er. Why not? If anybody should
know how to have the correct usage at
her own marriage, it Is the girl who
has earned her wedding dress. But at
the same time the girl's teeth were tin
cared for and offensive looking, dan
druff and a long, hideous hair lay loose
upon her coat collar, and her bare
hands were not clean. Her book of et
iquette told not one word concerning
these first essential points that mark
the true lady. Where is the book of
manners that will tell girls how to
keep themselves spotlessly clean and
sweet and tidy? Let us have it.

Rev. Kstelle Elizabeth Padgharn has
been chosen pastor of the Unitarian
church of Ferry, la. She had pluck
enough to take her own head for things
and study for the ministry against the
will of her parents. This alone proves
her a young woman of forceful char
acter, and it is not surprising to read
that in a sermon preached not long
since at Des Moines she "electrified
her audience with her eloquence."

Here Is something from the other
side of the house In reference to prop
erty laws for women: A rich man died,
leaving several hundred thousand dol
lars to his married daughter In her
own right. His funeral pageant was
decorated with $155 worth of flowers
to show how sorry the daughter was.
Indue time the florist presented his
bill, which the daughter refused to
pay. He sued, and siie still refused to
pay, taking the ground that flowers at
her father's funeral were a necessity,
and therefore not she. but li<*r hus
band, was responsible for the bill.

\itrntea In (hf Soil.
T!io continuous growing of wheal or
other grain or of :i cultivated crop not
only rapidly depletes the soil of organ
ic matter, but causes the rapid forma
tion of nitrates, which are likely to be
washed down in the soil below the
reach of the roots of plants. In experi
ments by Professor I .add of North Da
kota the largest amount of nitrates
was found at a depth of three feet in
bare fallow, while at a depth of seven
feet the amount of nitrates was larger
than at a depth of one foot. It is evi
dent that the nitrates found were
leached down from above. The impor
tance of a proper rotation and of catch !
crops to take up and hold the nitrates I
is thus shown. 1

Ulntance. Holnern Apple Trees.
I would like to say a word about the
distance between apple trees. Prac
tically wherever the limbs touch we j
lail to get any fruit; therefore it is a i
natural conclusion that they ought to |
he far enough apart so that they will
not grow together. The eider apple
will keep at a respectable distance, but
take the Baldwin or White Pippin, and
forty feet is too close for them to be
planted.—l. J Blaekwell, New Jersey.
The American Express company's
ten dollar Kifts to its 10,000 employees
l are substantial expressions of grateful
| appreciation.

Sheep
Feeding too much corn is detrimen- ;
tal.
It is an item to have sheep eat their j
food up clean.
Flat bottom troughs keep sheep from
j eating too fast.
In the fall the besi flesh carriers are
I the best conditioned sheep.
Yellow gurn on Ihe wool is an indi
cation that the sheep are out of condl- j
tlon.
I'eas make one of the very best feeds
for sheep in the winter
Timothy hay is rather poor rough- j
ness for feeding sheep
|
The Working Cow.
In some parts of Europe they make a !
| practice of working cows in the yoke !
| sis we do or used to do oxen, excepting i
I that possibly as they want milk they
' are careful to feed well and not over
work. This led to a series of experi- j
ments at Stockholm. Sweden, in test
| ing the milk of cows so treated, and
they found that the milk was reduced j
in quantity by the exercise, but ita I
quality was so much richer in butter
fat that the working cows actually pro- ;
duced more butter than cows equally !
good that had no other exercise than :
! they found in gathering their food in i
j the pastures. This opens up a new
possibility, remarks American Cultiva i
