[Letters From Two Prominent Men.]
Small Faunas Aire Best.
It Is small farms that make a conn-

in a rural, neighborhood in Grimes
county, embracing about twenty small
farms. There were a neat neighbor*
hood church .and a prosperous, well at
tended school. At the little village on

MRS. SARA E. FOLSOM,
A Boston Wonu Who Is • Student
of Seientifio Agriculture.
Mrs. Sara E. Folsom of Boston is a
woman who has made a study, of scien
tific methods of agriculture. Mrs! Fol
som was the only woman among the
twenty-seven graduates of the class of
’03 at Amherst Agricultural college.!
She came off with flying colors, having
captured the first prize of $50 for gen
eral excellence given by the Massachu-j
setts Society For the Promotion of Ag- *
riculture, the William Bowker special
prize; of $35 for the best method of
dairy,farm fertilizing and the H. Von-
herff (New York) prize of $15 for the;
best handling of fertilizer on grass
lands.
Mrs. Folsom is thirty-two years oler
and the wife of Charles E. Folsom, a
Boston business man /rtio owns -a
farm near that city. Mrs. Folsom man

Peach, grape and other very juicy

Coacernlns Tables.
Taken all lh all, the square table
with solid center 1 support and corner
legs that are strong without being
“lumpy” and graceful without orna
ment is the best for general use. As
dining room and- library furniture
yields far less, to the influence of fash
ion than does that for the drawing
room it should be selected for rich
woods, Its tine construction, Its solidi
ty and character. AH cheap vulgari
ties of oknament should be eschewed
and especially that which ls glued on.
Rough carving is least Objectionable,
though a handsomely grained wood
with no ornament, save its own fine
coloring ls far richer. Two favorite
woods for heavy dining room and li
brary tables are oak and mahogany.
The former is toned in golden, dark
oak, Flemish brown or cathedral green
and is seen either In a high shellac or
wax finish. The favorite width for a
library table is thirty-four inches; for
the dining table from forty-five to fif
ty-four inches.—Harper’s Bazar.
* Farm labor.
The difficulties of the Tabor problem
on the farm have!-in nowise abated,
but hither increased,, during the past
two years. But there are signs that a
reaction is not far away; It may'not
and probably will not restore many
from the towns to the farms, but it
may deter some from' leaving them.
The difficulties of ^living in our great
cities are increasing. It . is becoming
very' expensive. Employment is not so
certain now as It has been; especially
for the comparatively unskilled class.
Not all of our factories need to run
double turn, and some of them do . not
need to run at all, for they have more
than caught .up with their orders.
There ar? men in the cities today with
out their regular employment and seek
ing other work. Under the circum
stances the well employed farm worker
will make no mistake if he thinks
twice before leaving the country,'where
bis work and his family’s living are as
sured and will be for years to come. .

The Woman of: Thirty. *
Keith Clark writes in the Reader as
follows:
\frben one knows the age of a wom
an one knows the woman. The very
fact that she permits you to know her
age exposes her character. She no
longer masquerades. She has lost a
certain uncertainty, an evanescept del
icacy. that/ was an irresistible charm.
Women, like philosophy, are divided
Into two classes, the knowable woman'
and the unknowable; also, like philoso
phy, it is the Unknowable woman who
is the specnlable. Therefore to get her
at her highest capacity she gicst be
unmarried and about thirty.
, The married woman presents certain
Inseparable telltale data. She has chil
dren, and those children have appar
ent ages, two facts which go far in
determining Iter annals. If she Is un
married and she Is not about thirty
ahe is under thirty, again a definite
fact. Being “about thirty” is indefi
nite. She may be more or less., No
one hazards a guess. There is a de
lightful vagueness in being “about
thirty.” It has nothing to do with
dates, and many of us who from our
youth up have felt no attachment tor
