Of Interest
To Farmers
THE CREDIT OF FARMERS.
The pessimists, the ignorant and the
calamity shouters are very fond of prat
ing on the "poverty of the farming
community," and some agricultural
journals, not conversant with tbe facts
have assisted in spreading the idea.
They have done their utmost to des
troy the farmers credit. But the real
truth is this: While many farmers
have been in distress, yet taking the
farming people as a whole, it is safe to
say that the farmers have passed
through the years of depression better
than any other body in the country.
To-day farmers owe less than any other
large group of people. Fewer farmers
have "failed," commercially speaking,
than in any other business. Some farm
mortgage companies have failed that
did an extensive business, especially
in the semi arid region, where agricul
ture is yet in an experimental stage,
but tbe records of well managed con
cerns in this line of business, in tbe
central west and nothwest, show that
farmers' interest is being promptly met,
and tbe principal of mary mortgages
reduced or paid in full. The number
of farms owned free of debt in the
south shows remarkable gains. In tbe
middle and eastern states farmers have
maintained tbeir good credit in tbe
face of keen western competition.
Contrast this with tbe record of fail
ures among merchants, manufacturers
and railroads. The 161 railroads that
have gone into receivers' hands in the
last 3 i years were mortgaged for twice
as much as all the mortgages on all the
farms in the United States. Probably
the actual loss on investments in rail
road mortgages In the past six years,
has exceeded the amount of all the
farm mortgages in the country. Our
judgement is, that taking the country
as a whole, 96 per cent, of the loans on
farms during the past 25 years have
either been paid in full or are to-day
worth 100c on the dollar.
Instead of pushing collections among
farmers, instead of calling in loans, in
stead of marking up interest rates,
American Agriculturist believes that
political, industrial and social condi
tions justify a liberal financial policy
with all engaged in agriculture. Not
only that, but tbe indications are that
In the early future, the new beet sugar
industry will offer a most atttactive
field for tbe investment of tbe people's
savings,yielding a fair dividend on cap
ital, tesides (wbat is more important
to general prosperity) distributing
among our farmers and laborers tbe
{100,000,000 now sent abroad annually
for imported sugar ,—American Agricul
turist.
!
Holding perishable produce.—Ih de
ciding whether to sell such farm crops
as potatoes, apples, onions, etc. soon
after harvest or hold for better prices,
one must look further than immediate
market conditions. While an advance
may take place during the winter, the
loss through shrinkage and rotting is
considerable, to say nothing of the
"cost of storing, handling and care re
quired. Tbe shrinkage on potatoes
under favorable conditions is 10 to 15
per cent, and this induces many of our
best farmers to sell direct from the
fields.
- ALL AROUND THE FARM.
There is no more important work on
the fruit farm, or garden, than winter
protection, and there is no work more
generally neglected. Let it be done
thoronghly, after frosts have come,
and before winter sets in.
At a recent ram sale at Sydney, New
South Wales, a six-year-old, Merino
called President bought the enormous
price of 1600 guineas,or say {8000,to go
to Tasmania. _
During the mouths of April, May,
June and July the legal standard of
milk solids in tbe State of Massachu
setts is 12 per cent. Daring the other
months of tbe year it is 13 per ceDt.
Old fences and hedges are a constant
menace to the orchard. They are tbe
breeding places of insects and of fungi.
A hedge is a good ornament when
rightly taken oare of, but when it is in
near proximity to the orchard it may
cost many times more than its value
as an object of beknty.
If oats are not ground they may be
profitably fed in the straw. The horse
will ebew oats and straw together
more thoroughly than be will the oat
graiii alone, and the grain may be
given in larger quantities than wonld
be safe if eaten by itself. ' Oat straw
is mainly carbonaceous, bnt it is com
monly much less hard than the straw
of wheat, rye or barley and is better
for feeding to stock.

I HREE causes hi ve
' much to do with
the price a wo
man'll offered
for her work Says
Kate Stephens Id
the North Amer
ican Review.
First is the sur
vival of old no
tions about wo
man's businen incapacity. People do
not yet think straight and see clear.
Again competition is sharp among wo
men. They underbid one another.
Workers for money can work for less
than the one who must buy food and
shelter and clothes. Thirdly woman
can, or will, live on less than men.
That has much to do witblholding'down
their wages.
The following example will serve to
illustrate other reasons: An editor em
ployed the best typewrit r in Boston.
She had been victorious in competitive
effort. Before she came to him she
bad k.en employed in a wholesale dry
goods houso at $15 a week. In her
place the firm took a young man, in
no wise a better typewriter, and p„id
him {25 a week. Now they would not
purposely waste {10 a week. Why did
they think it economical to pay the
man more?
One advantage the man has lies in
physical qualities. He can endure
more. He gives you the feeling that
he can be more relied upon. The type
writiDg woman was not at baud so reg
ularly. In this drygoods he use busi
ness bad to be done daily. They paid
teu dollars a week for the certainty
of having some one always at hand.
Now, it cannot be gainsaid that men
are physicially stronger, and that wo
men cannot be Btrong so long as they
live in contravention of nearly eve ry
law of nature. But history says the
Spartan women were strong and health
ful, and Spartan typewriting woman
would doubtless have insisted on the
twenty-five dollars a week.
But reasoning about such physical
disability may be at fault. We all
know women who do the work of men
along with men. They are as regular
in their business habits as men. And
Bucb cases are not exceptions. Look
at Yassar, Smith and Bryn Mawr, for
instance, where educated women are
employed. I am inclined to believe
that the typewriter's irregularities were
not so mneb a physical inability after
all. They were ratber a deficiency in
training. Very few women have been
taught regularity and method in work.
It is deemed right to teach it to a boy,
but it is rarely thought proper or nec
essary that it should be bred in the
bone of a girl in the formative period.
The only reason that after such educa
tion women take the cares and burdens

tbe
of married life so sublimely, and carry
them bo successfully, is that tbe best
part of tbeir nature is touched and ap
pealed to.
It is then primarily the instinct of
self sacrifice in women; again, the un
methodical habits in which they have
been brought up; again, their "little
health," as Miss Frances Cobbe calls
their lack of strength—these, as well
as tbe three I first named, are tbe rea
sons why men are paid more than wo
men when both are engaged to do, and
do in truth accomplish, tbe same work.
Paymasters say—paymasters of a
great magazine office, for instance,
where many are employed—that wo
men are apt to become ioere machines
in business; that they work mechani
cally, and never suggest change or bet
terment; they are idealess. This
doubtless affects their pay. But they
are idealess for two apparent reasons:
First each one hopes it is not to be her
life's work. Every woman, generally
speaking, hopes to marry. Nature and
convention and the social laws at large
indicate to her that the home life and
the married life are her best life. Sec
ondly, to rise in the ranks in such of
fices as I have named is not open to
her. Incentives to energy and origina
ting effort, permanence and probably
increased pay are taken from her.

A Story of Shakespere's Time
" Master Skylark,
BY JOHN BENNETT.
Illustrated by Birch.
This Is a live story, lull of action, color,
merriment, and human nature. The world's
greatest poet figures as one of the principal
characters, although the hero and heroine are
a boy and girl. It is poetic In treatment, bnt
foil of the romance of the Elizabethan age,
and very dramatic In plot. Another serial,
beginning In November, Is
A Great War Story for North
and South.
The Last Three Soldiers.
By William H. Shelton. A strong story with
a unique plot. Three Union soldiers, mem
bora of a signal corps, stationed on a moun
tain-top, cut a bridge that conneots them
with the rest of the world and become
veritable castaways in the midst of the Con
federacy Will be read with delight by chil
dren North and South.
A Serial for Girls,
" Jnne's Garden," by Marlon Hill, Is addressed
specially to girls, and is by a favorite writer.
It is foil of fun, the character drawing is
strong and the whole Influence of the story Is
inspiring ahd uplifting.

terpiece of Its author, Dr. 8. Weir Mitchell!
