SITNDAt McRNIN(\ WOMAN’S ® ® REALM. WOMEN MAKE HOMES. nicy Take L'p Abnnuoned Farina and a Hural Kxtatencc. The problem of the “ahatrfloneil" or “ruu-ilowu" farm iu New Hampshire is finding at least a partial solution, as simple as it Is characteristic of the times. These places are being redeemed and beautified in considerable numbers by Intelligent single women from Hus ton and elsewhere, some of whom sjiend only tlielr vacation in the coun try. Within a circuit of about twen ty-fire miles, among the foothills of the White Mountains, one who has the en tree of these delightful homes may visit several. These women, and others similarly occupied, many of whom are well known and well educated, are distinct ly recognized in the farming communi ties where they liuve become property holders as residents to la* counted upon when public Improvements are to he ■undertaken, and public opinion Is to be formed. One woman, for example, who has for the present given up her profession on aceouut of her health, has bought a farm of rather exceptional value, lie cause It includes fertile ‘•intervale" land. On this she raises large hay crops. She has put dormer windows into the quaint old house that site found In the pluce, fitted It up with old fashioned furniture, put settles beside the big fireplace In the living room, hung a crane and kettles In it. and placed odd old paintings and prints on ■the walls. Here she entertains sum mer boarders and winter house parties. Another woman farmer. Miss 1!., lias come from the West and established herself on so high u hill that she Is un usually safe from intrusion. She raises an abundance of fruit and vegetables of unexcelled quality and enough hay for her stock. With her own hands she makes the delicious butter served on her table. One man can do her outside work. One strong woman docs the heaviest work of the household, and with no temptations to spend her wages, she is making money. Her mistress Is not doing this, but she is making enough to live on, and Is spend ing her days amid glorious mountain views. In dust free and ozone charged air, where her relatives and friends from Car and near are only too glad to join her In summer. In winter she has time for congenial pursuits. Within neighborly distance of this place yet a third woman has bought .1 farm, ns an Investment rather than a home. She goes up in the early sum mer to do the needed repairs and cleaning and to gel her quaint old stuff Into Its most effective positions. Then she leaves It for the tenant, who has seen her advertisement and lias come hundreds of miles, perhaps, to this spot hidden among orchard and forest trees, far from any much traveled road. One enterprising woman has made her house an absolute model of com fort and beauty—an object lesson to farmer folk and city people alike, and both come from miles around to see ft. She Is Improving her place In many ways; valuable timber is carefully guarded; wild fruit trees arc being grafted; rare plants, like Labrador tea. are cherished; comfortable benches are placed where specially flue views of ■the mountains are commanded. Many varieties of wild berries, reindeer moss, ‘curious ground pines and other plants native only in high altitudes add their interest to the place, while massive granite bowlders and gleaming quart/, ledges add their picturesque charm. In another part of the State a young woman, who is an amateur artist, has converted an abandoned farm Into an oil-year-round home of such elegance and proportions as to suggest an Eng lish estate. Landscape gardening is a conspicuous feature of her undertak ing. She raises cattle, horses and sheep on a considerable scale, and goes so far us to have her wool woven Into fabrics and designs of her own selec tion. —New York Tribune. The Qooi|.Sutured Woman. I The woman of a thoroughly good- I natured disposition has a far broader I field in which to exert her influence than her serious minded sister. The former radiates her personality with that sunny, intangible something tiiat always makes for herself a score of friends where the latter looks on and wonders what the magnet can be. When adversity faces the man with ibe goou-uatuivd wife, that is the wom an who can smile anti see the “other aide” even in the gloomiest aspect, it is he who looks to tlie good-hum trial ♦tide of the household for his consola tion. says the Boston Post. The woman who smiles when ethers frown Is the woman who reaps tlie richest harvest aud finds in life the greatest Opportunities, the lightest re sponsibilitie.; and the acme of all her. truest aud mod womanly aspirations, for the woman who smiles secs light and infinite good in everything and ev erybody. She accepts the Inevitable with a hearty, cheery laugh, ami causes the shadows to dissipate and hie away to other quarters. Women learn valua ble lessons from a smile, while men silently adore the possessor, and all because she is capable of manufactur ing sunshine where ill-hunor before existed. Good hnmor establishes an equili brium when all else fails. It adjusts relations between husbands aud wives, mother and children, and mistress and maid. It is the lever of success, the fulcrum ♦£ all happiness iu the home, the peace- maker between nations. It is the rec ognition of love above all tilings else, and Is the golden key that unlocks all doors. Without It life Is a desert, a dreary nothingness; for, devoid of tlio smiles and good nature of woman, the whole world assumes whatever the serious minded pessimist may make it. Style* of Walking Skirl. There are three new styles of walk ing skirt, says tlie Chicago Journal. One is short, about an inch above the floor, and has a hip yoke. Another Is two Inches from the floor, severely plain and with slotted seams and Just enough flare at the bottom to give It a modish effect. The third almost touches the floor, and in the back lias n little train of about three inches. Third style isn't for rainy weather, and is amenable to the side-clutch, lieing light-weight at the border on account of its handed plainness. This long walking skirt that must lie held up seems to Is- de signed as a convenience to wear in the street when the wnik ends in a house affair of an informal sort, not particu larly dressy, hut to which the long skirt is adapted. You know any woman Is more at tractive in a long skirt than in the short type -this lightweight, long walk ing skirt is next best to a regularly trained one as to a becoming appear ance. A Brave Woman. The French Academy has awarded the Audlffred prize of 15,000 francs to a woman—Mine. Meyrier, wife of the French Consul at Dlarbeklr. The Con sul and his wife were present in that town at the time of the Armenian mas sacres. in 1805, says the Westminster Gazette. Mine. Meyrier sheltered, foil and cared l'or more titan 700 Armenian refugees in the Consulate building, which was several times besieged, M. Meyrier and his staff repulsing the Turkish assailants time after time. This lasted twelve days, and when all Immediate danger had disappeared the rescued Armenians left, showering blessings on the heads of their saviors. Six months litter Mine. Meyrier led a caravan of 000 Christians to the coast, a fortnight's journey. The valiant woman led the band on horseback, with her four children following In a litter, anil passed witli her party through the midst of hostile tribes. She reached the coast in safety, with all the refugees under her care. Coats For Bullion. Long cloaks are fashionable again for small babies; they are made of silk or cloth. These have generally a coat to wear under them, but may lie in themselves. If made with inter lining or wadded lining, quite warm enough. The objection, of course, is that the baby’s hands cannot get out. but for a tiny baby it: Is often well to keep the hands covered. In very cold weather. All white should tic used until a child is a year or two old, and even then if Is a mistake to use anything but light col ors. Cloth coats, ribbed silk, bengaline and poplin are all fashionable, and the style is the same for one aud all. No coat or other garment that a baby wears should he made In a way that will not, allow of Its being cleaned fre quently.—Ha riier’s Baza r. Women in Holland. The right of mothers as well as fathers to decide regarding the domi cile. choice of profession and marriage of.mlnor children has been recognized legally by the Dutch Parliament. Hol land has also passed a law by which women may be appointed guardians of children not their own. BRGTTY Sg gjHWGS iSL TO WEAR Gray .shades are known as storm, cloud, pearl, moonlight and monkey. Visionary blue is a delicate tint with a hint of gray that is very effective. Holland bows of delft blue satiu promise to figure largely as a hair dec oration during the season. Anew fancy i:t auto wraps, also English, is a coat of white hair seal lined with flannel iu check effect. Prime shades iu combination with violet and lighter toned purple are used to some extent In autumn millinery. One of the daintiest things in neck wear is a French stock of white lottis ine silk combined with linen cord and hand work. An English novelty in motor coats is of brown frieze, leather lined and set tff with leather buttons. The wide cuffs are lined with fur. Some of the new felts in ivory and white are exceedingly picturesque, as are the Lamballe shapes iu white and pastel tinted silky leaves. Short coats of fur will he much worn aud considerable is anticipated for gray squirrel and moleskin, relieved by col lars of white cloth, embroidered.

Helcctlng Seed Corn. To save seed corn select the ripest. Heaviest, earliest ears, and front the strongest and most prolific stalks. In this manner the corn can be Improved every year, and at a very little expense and care. Restoring Worn Out Soil*. When soils are partially abandoned because of tlie expense of restoring them by the purchase of fertilizers, the farmer has at his command the op portunities of green manures. The old system of farming was to recuperate the soil by allowing it to rest for a year or two, by not compelling it to produce a crop. Stones in tlin Barden Sail. Don't be impatient to get all the small stones out of your garden soil. Any as large as a baseball should cer tainly be taken out, but the smaller slimes, especially those the size of a marble, help the soil by keeping it loose, allowing good circulation of ivater and helping to warm it some what. This is especially valuable where an early crop is wanted. Haring a Specialty, It is not a had plan for any farmer :o have some specialty aside from his regular crops, If he is not too short for help. Among the things to he suggest ed a small area itt someone fruit would be within reach of nil. This would afford a profit in the majority of seasons, and every now and then comes a year when a fruit crop is worth a very handsome sum. Improving Poor Land. Poor land can never be improved un less something is added to if. It is cheaper to allow flute, in the effort to grow crops to he plowed under, than to attempt to take a scanty crop front the land. When the land is poor the manure should be concentrated on smaller areas, and allow a portion of the land to go uncropped until manure can be given to It. Time will be saved, however, by using green mamtrial crops and fertilizers. The farmer who pays taxes on poor land taxes himself unnecessarily. Tramping Seed Into tlin Faith. Peter Henderson some years ago called attention to the use of the feet in planting vegetable seed in dry weather. If small seeds are sown aud loosely covered with dry earth they of ten fail to germinate, or. Just after germination, they lie and perish. If. however, the earth is compressed about the seed at the time of planting, such drying does not occur, and the seeds germinate well, even when the ground is very dry. To lie sure, if the ground is full of moisture, this method would not bo followed. Oiling- Harness. It Is a good plan to keep harness well oiled, as it will make it wear longer and keep it soft and pliable and much more easily handled. Soft, well oiled harness will stand more pulling than a set that has not been oiled. It takes the life and toughness out ofl leather to use it without oiling. The cost of the oil anil the work of apply ing it will be saved many times by the harness lasting longer aud the saving in repairs. The harness can ho oiled some wet day when little else could be done, and the time consumed in doing it will hardly be missed.—The Epitomist. TetnptrKltirß For lines. Bees should be kept at a temperature ranging from forty-two to forty-five degrees above zero, and the hives should he dry. The light should be excluded us much as possible and the hives should not be exposed to sudden changes of temperature. An ample supply of honey should be left for the support of the bees during the winter. It is not necessary to put the hives under shelter until winter approach on and if the colony in each hive is not strong it will he of but little service until it recovers in the spring. Too much warmth iu winter is not con ducive to success. Salt In tho Mnnnrfi Heap. Salt iu the manure heap will prove beneficial. As lutinit contains a large proportion of salt, and also a percent age of crude sulphate of potash, it may be mixed with the manure by turning the heap over, care being taken that all portions of the manure be sprinkled with the kainit. It prevents loss of am monia to a certain extent and adds potash to the manure, while salt at tracts moisture and serves as' an aid to prevent "fire-fanning” of the man ure. Whenever manure is tinned over the coarse materials should he placed in the centre in order that they may more quickly be decomposed. Tho Hav Press. The farmer who has more hay than barn room will find it a good invest* ■ limit to have a hay press that he m y | put it into smaller hulk, so that there | will be room for it in the barn, instead lof stacking it out of doors. It will | keep better, and if he has any to sell it | will be more easily handled and sell ; more readily at a better price. If one j cannot afford to buy a press, let thc-o | in a neighborhood who are likely to | want to use it unite in owning. The : hay may Iv stacked until the cutting : and curing is over with, if one does not wish to run tiie press in haying time. ] but the quicker the stack is reduced to ; bales the better. Increasing Fertility of the Farm. The profit from farming comes in slowly, aud several years may elapse ' before the farmer is aware that his THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. farm pays. This Is ilae to the fact that fertility In the soil is cumulative, the results of the first year being but lit tle, apparently, though every year thereafter the farm will increase in productive capacity. The system' of farming practiced will also Influence the future of the farm. Where stock is a specialty tiie results are nearly al ways excellent, anil rotation of crops aid in giving a profit, but the largest gain is when the farmer uses fertilizers liberally and gives his attention to the preservation of ihe manure produced on the farm. Cheaply Made Open Stint. An open shed is almost a necessity in raising chicks, both as protection from showers and cold winds and for a shel ter at night. One can very easily lie made in the fashion shown in the cut. Lapped boards form the roof. One end of each rafter rests upon the ground, while two posts support the other ends. The ends of the shed are boarded tip. the whole taking not more than half an hour's work, while the whole can quickly be taken apart at the end of the season.—New York Tribune Farm er. Int**iiHive Farming. Intensive cultivation lays up for the future just as much as the Improve ment of a piece of property in a good neighborhood increases the valuation of the Until for the future. One might make annual outlays for improving property, and not get actual returns for two or three years. So in the sys tem of intensive cultivation the returns may he several years ahead. In the matter of the soil one finds that the land improves through intensive culti vation slowly but surely, and while we may not be able to see the improve ment this year or next it will in time come. Some soils are hi such poor condition lhail it requires at least two or three seasons to make them re spond to in tens! v systems of culture. Likewise some crops do not respond quickly to the careful selection of seed and thorough cultivation.—Mk-higa) Farmer. of Fallen Lftutf*. Forest leaves make an excellent bed ding for stables, and at the same time otto of the richest fertilizers. It is not good policy, however, to gather the leaves front a piece of woodland, as such action will in time exhaust the soil and cause injury to the trees. When the loaves blow into ravines they may l>? gathered and used at tlie barn. Dry leaves, held In place by a few boughs, make an excellent protec tion for such vegetables as lettuce, spinach, onions, etc., ns are wintered in the open air. Leaves forked in about young trees keep the soil loose and pro mote rapid growth. Leaves thrown into the scratching pen where chickens arc confined in.winter are excellent to give them exercise in hunting for their food. They also are excellent for dos ing the crevices in old liens where chickens, jdgs, etc., may he confined In winter. When leaves are yearly re moved from a lawn it is necessary to return to the soil n fertilizer equivalent In value to the leaves removed. Dr. George G. Groff. In New York Tribune Farmer. Docs Farm in jc l*ay? The question as to whether farming pays is not fundamental. It is merely incidental. A necessary occupation must pay. Too often it is answered in Site negative by the mere eiting of eases iu which farming is tinremunera tive. The abandoned farms of New England may not pay. else they might not have been abandoned. Yet even here there may he a fallacy. Perhaps the farm that has ceased to be profit able under the old system of farming may he made to pay under anew sys iom. Strictly speaking there are prob ably no abandoned farms In New Eng land. There may be a change in own ership and in methods, but the lands still yield it crop for somebody. They have not reverted to the public domain. The management of land is undergoing a radical change. This change may result In hardships to the individual who will not accent the netv order, but it works to the betterment of the farm and consequently of the community. Farming pays even though a farmer here and there may fail.—F. H. Sweet, in The Kpltomlst. Ilia Hint w Strawberry Ttetls. Very rarely have we had a season more conducive to the growili of weeds in the strawberry beds than tills has been. Wo could not get iuto the gar den to root out the win ds t'or weeks at a time, and the consequence was that the plants were almost swamped. He roic treatment was required to clear them out. But we have dons'it. First wo went over the plot with a scythe, cutting down all tlie grass, ragweed and other rout staff. This was raked off and drawn away on the stone boat. Then we put a good team and plow in and threw the laud bottom up. berry plants and all. This was followed by tiie harrow. This left a good seed bed for the new plants. Those we took front the old lied of this summer. A nice lot of runners had grown up be tween the rows, and these we trans ferred to the new bed. A fine shower coming on shortly after we had finished the work of transplanting helped to give the new plants a start. Now we will go through the rows with a culti vator as often as needed, and also through the rows of last year's plants we will save over for one year more. \ It has been hard work, but we are sure jit will pay well.—E. L. Vincent, in New i York Tribune Farmer. Draiirngfl ot Our Pub 1c ltoadi. FROM a recent publication of the United States Office of Road Inquiries we take the and following: An essential feature of good roads is good drainage, and the principles or good drainage remain substantially the same, whether the roads Ik- construct ed of earth, gravel, shells, stones or as phalt. The first demand of good drain age is to attend to the shape of road surface. This must be "crowned" or rounded up toward the centre, so that there may be a fall from the centre to the sides, Ihus compelling the water to flow rapidly from the surface into the gutters, which should be constructed on one or both sides, and from there iu turn be discharged into larger and more open channels. Furthermore, it is necessary that no water lie allowed to flow across a roadway: culverts, tile, stone, or box drains should be pro vided for that purpose. In addition to being well covered and drained the surface should he kept as smooth as possible, that is. free from ruts, wheel tracks, holes or hollows. If any of these exist, instead of being thrown to the side the water is held back aud is either evaporated by the suu or absorbed by the material of which the road is constructed. In the latter case the material loses its solid ity, softens and yields to the impact of the horses' feet, and the wheels of ve hicles. and. like the water poured upon a grindstone, so the water poured on a road surface which is* not properly drained assists the grinding action of tlie wheels in rutting or completely de stroying the surface. When water is allowed to stand on a road the holes and ruts rapidly increase in number and size: wagon after wagon sinks deeper until the road finally becomes utterly had, and sometimes impassa ble, as frequently found in many parts of the country during the winter sea son. A Grand Trunk Highway. It is gratifying to learn, through a report recently made by W. L. Dickin son, Treasurer of the New York and Chicago Rond Association, and also through Albert A. Pope, its President, that the preliminary steps taken to ac complish tiie construction of a continu ous highway from New York to Chica go have brought highly satisfactory re sults. Treasurer Dickinson, who has lately completed a tour of the route to he followed by the new road, states that the different authorities of the towns and counties to tie traversed by the thoroughfare are heartily for the project, and promise to aid it to the ex tent of their power. Statistics show that good roads ag gregating 350 miles in length already exist along the proposed route, which Indicates that only about 500 miles of new road will need to be built in order to connect the two cities in tlie manner desired. The laws governing the con struction of such a highway appear to present, no obstacle, except in the State of Indiana, where, it Is said, they will have to be amended slightly before the plan can lie carried out. An important feature of the Treasu rer’s Investigation was his discovery that the various town and county offi cers with whole he consulted appre ciate thoroughly the benefit they will derive from the highway when it is completed. They do not overlook the fact that this great avenue, together with the many branch roads which will diverge from it. will greatly increase the value of their property by facilitat ing transportation, and will also add. iu a general way. to their domestic prosperity. We hope that the prediction made some weeks ago by the association's Vice-President that "within three or four years a grand trunk highway be tween New York and Chicago will he an accomplished fact.*' will ho ful filled. anil, judging from the zeal and success which have attended the move ment so far it will be. Good KoatU Pamjtaign. There have been many practical in fluences at work as aids to the good roads movement, but the farmers have been unusually conservative in lending their co-operation to the effort to bring about a change in tlie laws governing the payment of highway taxes, and they have not taken an active part in the movement which seeks a reform in the way these taxes are expended. Al though farming communities are the ones principally interested in good highways, aud the pockets of the farmers are directly benefited by cheapening the cost of hauling their products to market, they are prone to adhere to old methods, and are appre hensive that the expense of a change in the method of building and main taning roads will fail upon them with out resulting compensating benefit- Milwaukee Sentinel. Makes Distance Shorter. Tiie distance a farmer lives from market is not a question of miiev but of the roads he must travel to reach there. llow many hours and how many horses does it require to haul a load to market. When thus measured ten miles of a good, smooth highway are not as long as a few miles of mud and stone. Monotonous Poverty. Poverty would become monotonous if oue didn't have to stop hustling for bread and meat occasionally In order to hustie for a few other things.—New York Herald. - —. Stock Notes. Cleaning Hog Houses. Arrange the pig pens so that they can be cleaned casi'y and supplied with fresh liedding. A hog house should be cleaned every day, otherwise it tvil! soon become filthy and harbor disease germs, if this is properly attended to it is no more work to clean the pig pen every morning than it Is to clean the horse stable. A Ration For Dmbl. The Massachusetts station says that they have proved that linseed meal# cottonseed meal and Chicago gluten meal have about the same value for feeding lambs, and the change does not materially affect the cost of the ration. Buffalo gluten feed and Chicago maize feed have about equal value and cost. The dry matter in four pounds of ensil age is about equal to that in one pound of good rowan. Lambs that had a nu tritive ration of one pound of protein to 4.7 of carbohydrates made a greater gain to live weight and manure of bet ter quality titan when the ratio was one of protein to seven of carbohy drates.

O. Folio, in The Epitomist. Selection of Breed*. Any breed wNI lose Its prestige if the selection of the best Individuals is not strictly adhered to, and all breeders rely more upon the exjiloits of certain members of their herds or flocks than upon the whole, for. no matter how careful the breeder may ho, or how ju diciously he may mate his animals, he will have some that will fall below the standard of excellence. If the expe rienced breeder of pure-lired stock is compelled to continually select and breed from the best sires and dams it should be more Important for the farmer not only to improve with pure bred sires, but to use only the best to he obtained. But the mujority of farm ers are disposed to purchase the "culls" of the breeder for breeding purposes, and are disappointed If they do not se cure good results. It is never profit able to use an inferior animal for any purpose, more especially when grading up a herd or flock, as the hotter the sire the greater his influence.* Worth less sires should rather be avoided, as they entail loss of time, labor ad money. The male Is "half of the herd," for every young animal partakes of his characteristics, its value depend ing more upon the excellence of the sire and the advancement of the herd and in exact ratio with the influence of that parent. Pedigree is a safeguard and protection, but pedigree alone is not to he relied upon. Tlie form, dispo sition. health and other Indications must assist in selection, but. as some sires can give no evidence of their value until tried, the pedigree should never be overlooked, as it points out the several families among breeds that have excelled and also the best individ uals among those families. Every farmer should endeavor to he a brood er. and also to breed to a standard of excellence by selecting the best to be obtained of any breed.—Philadelphia Record. Learning to Head.
