WOMEN IN THF PROFESSIONS. Tk tireal lB>rre**r Ii ihe I nlir.l kl.i.t - The advance made by women in the pmfe- ..ions is strikingly brought out by t he new census paper. In tbe civil service the number of women officers and clerks had risen from less than 3.000 in 1871 to 8.546 in the last census year. In the local government of tbe country, too. women are much more freely employed. There was evidently no return of women doctors in 1871; they were awaiting their degrees, or bad degrees which t he census did not recognize : in 1881 they were returned as 25 in number, but in 1891 thev were 101 in England ami Wales. Women veterinary surgeons appeared for tbe first time in the census of 1891. There were then two of them. Besides over 53.000 sick nursei. there are 887 women engaged in " su'Kwdinate medical ser- vice " I'nder the somewhat compre- prehensive beading of "author, editor, journalist." we find (WO women in 1891, as compared with 452 ten years before, and 255 in 1871. Women reporters were rare in 1881. Fifteen was tbe total number for England and Wales, but in 1891 there were 127. In the arts the invasion of tbe ladies ia most conspicuous. In l-oi there were 1,960 of their sex who returned themselves as painters, engravers, or sculptors ; in 1891 the number had risen to 3.0.1- For the first time in 1891 there were lady architects on the census. They numtiered nineteen. Lady musicians and music mistreanes nuiul>red over 19.000 in 1891. They were 11,000 ten years In-fore. Instead of 2.363 actresses, as in 1881. there were in 1891, S.tK'fl. In the commercial class the increase of women workers its not so striking, the apparently great augmentation of commercial clerks I* ing explained by the transfer of this class of hundreds previously described as accountants. Horse Collar- The old adage that "the beet U the cheapest" ii an applicable to things about the barn a* elsewhere. The fol- lowing points about horse collars were learned in a conversation with a manu- facturer who IH in the saddle and har- ness business and baa followed it for twenty-five years ami handles all kinds of collars, surb an cork. wool, wool-faced. i raw, both in good and cheap grades. H baa been a manufacturer of collars, and making collars a xtrniy all theae years, therefore his opinion la worthy consideration. He sayt that a man may convince himself and do justice to straw collars by join* to a dealer who has learned the harness trade and kiows the quality of leather and make of goods, and ask him for a good collar and to give him a perfect fit . and if the dealer cares to bold his customer be will surely not recommend a poor col- lar. He says tbsj_- /**f** a stuffing for rolUra-/ ^rTOr a number of years. V*P0 upon a* an unfit article for that purpose by the people using collars, but gradual ly 4 he false impres- sion in vanish ine-. for experience has hown that it was not the straw, but the work of the man who made collars, which cause! the aore shoulders _or an i mala. In years gone by collars were made by men who had learned their trade. and took care to stuff a collar proper- ly, but the rapidly increasing demand caused some manufacturers to employ inexperienced workmen, who could not stuff and diil not care bow uneven or knotty a collar would become. Next came a practice which was still worse the employing of penitentiary bands on horse collars, none but the foreman having an idea how a collar should be nia.lt- . the eoaiiequence was that peo- ple believed straw was toe cause of the collar hurting the horse. The expert or experienced collar maker, being unable in compete with penitentiary labor, was compelled to find new means by which hi." collars *h<iuld be known on the market ami sell at a profit which would yield bun a living Thi-i w.-is wool, and gave gen- eral satisfaction, but was heavier than straw : but they were soon imitated by using a small qu.in' ity of wool mixed with straw, and s.-Ilmg as wool or wool- faced, giving the same results as the all straw. 80 that to-day there is no article with wjjirh collars can be Muf- fed by inexperienced hands which will not ch.-ife or gall the horse. But straw used by a professional workman is as good as or better than anything else, for t be simple reason that it is lighter and an cool as anything known. Another point is the dealer Quite a number of men are handling collars who have n judgment "f them what- ever whether the leather used is good, or tb<> work done property if a sales- man oomivs nlonir who handle* the con- vict-made or other cheap collars. an<t I'll* them they ar<> as good as> those of *om manufacturer whose name i known, but thtt rhev c-vn affur I f sell cheaper for some reason or ot her he buys from him ni recommends it ac- cordingly tn his customers, perhaps in full confidence that it is really so. This is to a great exfnt the cause of find- ng no many collars throughout the country which chafe. Last but not least comes the men using collars. They generally buv too light a collar for the purpose t hey in- tend to use it for. Some, in order to save 25 cents, others, because they im- agine that it Is good enough, while quite a number of people seeing a poor col- lar of same dimensions as the good one. but at a cost from 25 to 80 cents less, believe th*t the dealer Is only putting on tho price in order ro obtain a larger profit . Very often .in 18-inch collar is used where a 17-inch would be a fit. V very bad habit is to soak a new col- lar in water for twelve hours ; thin will, of course, rot the straw or wool which i* u.ed Farmers Should be More Business- Like One great trouble with farmers is that they are not careful enough about the business part of their work. They do tbe work and lot tbe profit or loss come out as it may without giving the matter a thought, or if they do occas- ionally make a spasmodic effort at keeping accounts it is soon discontinued as making too much work How are we going to know " where we are at" in any other way than by keeping account of the expense connect- ed with dairying, for instance? Nine out of ten are " going it blind" year after year. They feted and milk their cows, and make and sell the butter and then at the end of the year know nothing about whether they are any better off or not as to the dairy. Don't you think many a farmer is keeping cows at a losst Well, now, do you think yeu are one of them, your self f How do you know about it, any- way f Have you tbe figures to prove that your cows are s source of profit to you ( It would be well for every dairyman and every farmer who does not claim to be. strictly speaking, a dairyman, to try and ascertain just where he stands. Guesswork is a pool plan to go by. If we are once convinced that we are losing money we may bet- ter stop dairying and turn our atten- tion to something else. Now, when we start in to find out the truth of the matter we must give the cows a good chance. We need not, ex- pect to make a profit out of poor cows in the first place nor out ot poorly fed ones in tbe next place. Don't condemn the cows unless they are really to blame. Remember, many a good cow returns her owner no profit, simply because it is a physical impossibility to do so with the food he supplies her and tbe care she receive*. It is a clear case of "give nothing, get nothing " Let farmers once apply as strict busi- ness met hodi to their work as the mer- rhant does to his, and it will go far to- ward straightening out the tangled web of affairs exiatin* among many of thnm. It would at least ahow then) what linns of farming are beat tor them to pursue. Give the Fowls Plenty of Food. Never feed all corn or cornmeal, but feed all the fowls will eat to both old and young, tbje year round of suitable food. I have no faith in the theory. says an expert in an exchange, that lean pullets will lay more eggs than fat ones. For laying hens, give morn- ing and noon a feed of two parts corn- meal, three parts wheat middlings and four parts wheat bran ; add a lit t le salt, mix with hot water, feed warm in cold weather. Give green food, es- pecially in winter, chapped apples, onions, beets, carrot, etc., mixed with) tbe warm mash, adding a little meat. lard or suet scraps, three times a week. Keep a cabbage hung in the henhouse within reach of the fowls, give warm water two or three time.-) a day in winter feed wheat or corn at night. Keep ground bone, oyster shells, broken crockery and charcoal where young and old ran have access to them the year round and my experience for it if your henhouse is reasonably warm you will bjtve winter layers, if your pullets are hi itched by 1st of May. Do nut keep too many in a small bouse. Tea put n a bouse eight by ten lay uire ens in proportion than twenty with tbe same care. Poultry Notes. The roosts should be low. especially for large, heavy fowls, and should all be of the same height. If you have a number of good old hena> do not change them all for pullets. Keep some of tbe old hens. The good layers are active and gen- erally on the move, tbe first birds out in the morning and the last to roost at night. The time to gather feathers from ducks and geese is when the feather* are ripe. Do not wait until the fowls lose a pan of them. When the hens stop laying perhaps tby can be started again by changing t hi- feed. Give lest grain and more meat and akimmilk. Turkeys must have a good range to be profitable. They are bug eaters by nature, and must have a good stretch of territory to forage in order to do well. Never have a fear that there is a danger of the poultry business being overdone, as this large country of our* consumes more and more of eggs and poultry every year. Our supplies fall far abort, and eggs are imported inte, our cities by the millions of doiens every season. BIDDY'S CLOTHES PIN LEG. " If there is one thing I despise more than another." remarked a gen- tleman tbe other day. "it ia a man who does not regard the truth witb sacred awe. I notice that tbe local papers are full of big egg. big pump- kin, and other stories of that sort that have little real merit in them, and I fear that some of them do not even have the redeeming virtue of be- ing strictly true. I believe they are exaggerated. Now I have a story for you that ie not only a good one. but it is true. What does a story amount to if it l not true r Any fool can make up a lie. I bate a liar. Here is my story : " I was down east the other day and stopped at a farm house for din- ner. Alter dinner I sat down on the porch to take a smoke. I saw an old ben hobbling al<out in a very awkward way. and I said to tbe farmer's wife. ' ' Madam, what is the matter with that ben F ' ' That ben,' said she. ' ia lams it has an artificial leg.' ' ' Ob, it has. has it ' ' Yes. Yon know t here was some very cold weather last winter, and one night the hen froze her leg off. 1 pitied her. 1 nursed her and doo- tored her up. and she finally got well. But she couldn't walk on one leg. So I just stuck a clothes pin on tbe stump of her leg, tied a siring around it t hold it on. and she does very well with it.' - ' Well, well,' I said. ' it that isn't st range I ' 'Yes.' replied the good lady, with a smile, 'but that isn't tbe strange part of it.' " No! 1 1 No. indeed I Tbe st range pan of it happened afterward, and one would scarcely believe it if one hadn't seen it wit h one's own eyes. This spring that h'-n with the clothes-pin leg wanted to batch. I didn't think she oould. 'Kraid nhf'd break tbe eggs with her stump. But I kind 'o pitied her. 'cause she was a cripple, and I put t hirteen eggs under her. She stuck right to her business for three weeks and never broke an egg hatched out every chicken.' ' Well,' I said. ' that is not so re- markable.' ' ' No,' replied tbe woman. ' that was not so very odd. but that Isn't it. Thai funny part of it was that every one of those little chickens bads woo**"" 1 leg!" Tbe Football Craze. Football in England has become sucB a eras* that employers are complain- ing of their men absenting themselves from work. Some employees on tbe Midlands actually proposed that they should be allowed to work on Sunday at tbe mills, in order to be free to at- tend football matches on Monday. Tbe football fever has got such a hold of the Birmingham boy that a local paper says boys introduce football editions of the evening papers into their clauses at .Sunday-school, and discuss the pre- vious day's play during tbe lesson.
