FROM FARMER'S WIFE. correspondent who wrote to of Agriculture Houston and advice The Secretary informed him that "the farm woman the most neglected factor In has been rural problem and she has been especially neglected by the national department of agriculture," waä prel nearly right, says thç Charleston The department the News and Courier, would have accomplished more for farming if it had devoted to the in habitants of the farmhouse as much attention as it has given to the fields that He about the homestead. In par ticular, it would have made better than it has made in check progress tng the drift of population away from the farms to the cities. This migra tion of rural dwellers Into the urban centers has been Increasing from year It Is still increasing In most to year. parts of the country, though here and there In restricted sections It seems to have Blackened somewhat. to stop It la to make life on the farm pleasanter. It Is true that one method of doing this Is through such work as that to which the department has chiefly devoted its energies—that Is to say, through teaching the farmer to make more money out of his crops. Hut much can be done also by the more direct method of teaching the farmer how to improve conditions In his home; and this can be done best through the farmer's wife. The way A loose electric current can make a great deal of trouble. It did In New York, the other day, when eleven thousand volts leaking from a feed wire Into the steel frame of a new building knocked over 60 workmen. The contact started a fire and when the firemen turned a hose on the blaze, the men at the nozzle dropped It with yells, for the current Bhocked them through the water. The current came from the New Haven railroad wires and had to be shut oil before the fire was put out. Life In a modern city is more complicated than It used to be, and beset with more dangers. People In towns from which the rail roads still run their trains with loco motives propelled by steam may tn dulgo In the consoling reflection that while the Bmoke nuisance has Its drawbacks, it Is not so fatal as an electric current on a rampage. When anything goes wrong in an American prison, the custom of critics is to assume that such a thing could have happened in no other country under the sun. The news from Scot land, a country where prison man agement might be supposed to be ef ficient, reveals the fact that matters sometimes go wrong in prisons abroad. The other day it was discov ered that counterfeit bank notes so skillfully executed as to deceive local bankers and shopkeepers have been ^ made by convicts in the Peterhead prison. In printing these counterfeits the convicts used paper in which ra tions had been served them. a Bulwer Lytton prophesied that In (he future mankind would be hairless, but It was a vague, Indefinite pro phecy. Now an eastern professor comes forward with a statement that In exactly 3,000 years all mlnklnd will be bald. Upon what data ho bases this calculation does not appear. Per haps he figures It out on the spread of education and the general adoptior of the Intellectual life. A western magnate says that no matter how little a man has, he should spend part of It In trying to make life pleasant for his wife. If that ntlvlce were generally followed, many of the problems now troubling the legal and social theorists and experts would solve themselves.
