Women appeared in industry at a later period, that is, women oping for money at labor disconnected from this, first by the people themselves who fancied it was somewhat beneath women’s dignity to work for wages at anything but housework or nurs- ing; and then the later objection from organized labor that-women were in danger of usurping men’s places, or effecting a general reduction in wages. These fears*were genuine at the time, and illustrate how little the accuracy with which some tendencies are fore- est. The tendency has been for women to go up to men’s scales: of wages, as indeed they should where they are producing work of equal value. Even the labor unions, some branches of which very stubbornly resistéd the entrance of women into most any kind of soil. Although special machinery may be used in handling clever seed, it is nat ab-) solutely necessary. The soils most suitable for clover seed are: Clay loam and Sandy loam. dies Witd.. the above quantities ot pais 4 table, Clay loam, however, gives better re- sults, as it gives a brighter and plumper seed. Clover should follow a cultivated crop, such as corn, roots ar potatoes or it should be-sown on land which has been thoroughly prepared after harvesting the precious crop. Clovers may be sown with barley, wheat or oats, barley being preferr- ed, however, on account of its: being an early ripener and less liable to lodge. The growing of clover will not lessen the yield of grain per acre and will be found a great bene- fit in smothering many weeds. When seeding clover with “barley 1% to 2 bushels of barley shottId be sown per acre, with wheat 1% to i. bushels per acre and with oats 2 2% bushels per acre ; 7s Fey pouade: orchard grass 6 metinds and alsike 2 pounds. If the soil is rich in plant food, the total may be cut to 4 pounds less. Harvesting. Harvesting is one of the most par- ticular points in clover seed growing. The first crop of hay must be cut be- fore July 1, to give second crop of the samre year time of mature the seed. As to the time for harvesting the second crop for seed, no special date can be set, as so much depends on the season. As a rule clover] should be cut when the majority rt the heads are well browned. It is a good plan to go over the field and tub a head here and there. If the seed will shell in the palm of the hand, it should be~cut. If the seed is soft and not properly filled. it should stand even at the loss of a few ripe heads. In cutting, while the mower with a the self rake rasper and the selfbinder may be used, the binder has been found to be the best ma- chine for this purpose. When cut- ting with the binder, the cord should be removed and the spring sla¢ken- ed so as to allow the clover a free course to the ground. The clover, in dropping to the ground, will not shell and will be light, so that the wind and sun can easily dry it out the windrow will be out of the way of the horses and machine and can easily be gathered with the barley fork. The length of time the clover should remain in the windrow de- pends on the weather, and on the condition in which the clover is cut. It sometimes should be allowed to remain two or three weeks. The fodder, however, should not be al- lowed to become black, as it would then be useless for feed. Just as soon as the forage will keep in the mow it should be gathered in. The seed can than be threshed almost any- time.

Nowadays there is seldom a ques- tion raised as to the propriety of wo- men supporting themselves by pa‘d labor. In even the wealthy families the idea of rearing a daughter in idleness is rapidly dying out, although there is always, of course, the con- sideration of a choice of labor. In fact, it may be regarded as settled, and no question at all, that the girls of the family may renounce | a life of idleness and become self- supporting, or contributors to the support of the home, without being even the slightest the less womanly for it, as some of the forefathers thought they were. The self-support- ing type of young woman has added a new strain to American feminity, a strain of wholesome self-reliance, clear-eyed vision of the facts of life, and a general sanity of reaction. She has not been made masculine; rather, the sounder qualities of womanliness have been brought out in her. The so-called ‘‘new woman” really repre- sents womanhood released from ar- tificial effeminacy. their homes. - There was objection to People sometimes Fe th ‘that if these married women work, they at Yeast contribute to production, It tg a question not.

Says Dancing Christians Do Not Make Good Sunday School Tes (Stratford Beacon) The members of the Ontario § Baptist church listened to an in esting and inspiring sermon Sunda evening in connection with the Ohtt dren’s Day services, deliyeréd by Rey Wm. Shannon, of Pennsylvania, the well-known Evangelist. Mr. Shannon is a very forceful and eloquent speaker, and a firm in the power of prayer, as was ove ced by his sermon. He drew his sermon from the stoi of failure of the disciples to cast: destroying spirits, pointing out t they would say. As a broad rufe, a great deal can} safely be sacrificed to preserve the! spirit of Home. There are many im- pressively dressed women whose homes are not impressive. The best setting any women ever had is her! own home. The cost of living [s not so as the cost of pretending to live oe | ter than one really can. The cost of | | anything real is not quite so high, in! comparison with the values possess: |} ed, as is the cost of pretense. Least of all should any sacrifice of sub-' stantial values, such as the Home at- | mosphere, be made for mere pretense. | ! ® Should married women i | work? The question often || comes in one form or another. |! The direct normal answer is NO, but still there are excep- || tions, Better ask the married | woman whom circumstances have driven to work, and see \ what she will say. There are married heroines at work, but But now comes a new angle to the question. Ordinarily upon her mar-)| riage a woman stopped working for wages. Her sphere thenceforth be-! came the home, not that she worked less, but her husband became the bread-winner while she became the home-maker. To assume the work of keeping a house is not exactly a retirement from work, as every wo-' | I man knows. ' This was a division of labor which of things, and which we are convinc- ed will remain the normal condition in spite of instances of periods of aberration. We appear to be in one of those periods now, and hence arises in ‘Many quafters the question, Should Married Women Work? Employers are frequently asked for their views upon it. Social workers are very outspoken upon it. More than that, thousands of the very women in- volved in the matter are wondering whether they are really the pioneers of a new era, or whether they are merely the signs of a period_in.which Many standards are temporarily dis- turbed. It seems pretty true to say that however numerous may be the present day instances of married wo- men working, they are not the pion- eers of a new condition of things in which it will be thought right and proper that all married women should work outside the home for wages. Certain factors are irremovably opposed to such a practice becoming egtablished. There is the idea of Home, for one. A Home is a place inhabited, not an apartment to which two working people come tired from their labor, to rest from a day’s work. A Home is a place inhabited by the spirit of home-making which spirit somehow requires the pretty constant| bodily presence of the home-maker, who is supremely the woman. ' Then there is the idea of Family. Certainly the intrusion of even one -child breaks up the @€in of the wife going out to work. And, not to re- peat the counsel which has been giv- en on this subject from the earliest times, who can separate ——— the idea of Home and Famil There are, of circumstances, but as a rule, where the man of the Nouse is able-bodied, he should be the solé representative of the family in the industrial world, at least until his chtidren grow up, He should make the living and his wife make the home. It is unpleasant to relate that while t their living, there are far .too many who work merely to grat- ify those extravagant tastes which a. normal family income cannot sup- pert. To say it plainly, the great major- ity of married women who work do necessary and tastefulness of covering, but extravagance of decora- tion. = ad fot Faas the'home to- there are many, many more who go to work that they may | indulge their extravagant or flashy ideas of dress. The regu- | laf home income could clothe them in decency and good taste, but they don’t know the artistic vafues of decency and goo taste; they are victimized by the flash and scream of cheap | imitations. In the meantime, | their minds are cheapened; | | they themselves become imita- | | tions; they are never well- dressed, envy and. discontent seize upon them, and the Home suffers. Work has come to be ! an honoi for a woman, but a | married woman already has a I queen's job—to make, mold |, and magnify a Home. 7 i| | : | | ~~ —- -—- Gives $6,000 to Encourage Regular Attendance At The né Sunday School | £ The will of the the late Dr. Matthew Wilson, K.C. of Chatham, just recent-| ly probated, shows the value of his‘ estate to be $600,000.
