-"votes for women ~ PUT TEMPORARILY IN BACKGROUND Whether to Beat, or Not to Beat, Your Wifp. Is thp I ntpct Controversy in Order. DR. WAUGH, AFFIRMATIVE; ROSALIE JONES, NEGATIVE 'Most Devoted Wives Fear Husbands," Says Dr. Waugh?"Joke!" Retorts General Jones?"Modern Suffrage Wife Does Not Expect to Be Ruled by Any Mere Man"?Mrs. Howard Archibald Samuels Rather Favors the Doctor's Side of the Argument?"Beatings Sometimes Effective"?"Woman's Nature to Be Ruled," She Says. IS it necessary to boat your wife? Yea. und no! It all depends on whom you ask to answer the question. Mrs. Howard Archibald Samuels, secretary of the Household Felicity League, admits that certain benefits may be derived from occasionally chastising your spouse. Miss Rosalie Gardner Jones, known as General Rosalie, the particularly attractive conductor of suffrage tours to Albany, Washington and various points via the foot route, takes the opposite view and maintains that no true suffragist will stund by and let her husband be the one to do the Dealing. The question arose nil because I>r. Will lain P. Waugh of Chicago, dean of the Dennett Medical college and chief surgeon of the Jeffemon Park hospital, came out In favor of wir-s beating as a proper and wholesome discipline. Hut, then. Dr. Wuugh Is not narrled. What Dr. Waugh Advocates. Among other Interesting statements on the matter he made the following declarations: "When you find your mate, rule her; she expects you to be head of the house. "When you have her, live for her; Bhe demands it. "When she awakens your Jealousy, beat her; she needs it." Then the doctor went on to say that the most devoted wives In the world are those who fear their husbands. Such wives sit up nights trying to devise plans to please their masculine lord nnd win their approbation. And. take it from Dr. Waugh, the approbation of said lords Is some tid-bit worth striving for. "It's this way," the doctor goes on. "Through their lack of beatings, some women escape from their husbands' control and are iucnpable if controlling themselves. They soon find by the absence of beatings that their husbands are not their masters. Therefore they seek other mnsters, nnd their contempt for their husbands has reached its limit. Once a wife holds her husband in contempt, not <ivun Knufl*ii?o * . ,V>| UVI1IIMf,n n 111 v? III Illlll Ulll'K IIIIU her respect, for then she will know thut he Is merely making a bluff, and Is not really tho masterful being she believed him when she married him." "Joke," Says General Jones. General Rosalie Jones threw up her hands In consternation and Indignation when Dr. Waugh's remarks were called to her attention. ^"Kqual suffrage went Into effect July 1," she cried "He Is having his last Inning, for with women nearlng their rightful position In the world, he knows It will be his last chnnce. Dr. Waugh knows who will hold the master hand when we get the ballot in his state, and this outburst of his is merely tho feeble wall of nn envious old bachelor because some one but himself is In for a bit of consideration from now on." ? "No doubt Dr. Waugh Is right, in some respects," said Mrs. Samuels, who Is an antl-suffrngist. "It is well known that women love best the men who are somewhat cruel to them, and 1 presume Dr. Waugh's statement Is a Just and proper warning against what will follow the granting of the vote to women In Illinois." Fortunately, Miss Jones and Mrs. Samuels were not mutually present whpn thoflA fltnUmonia ~ ? ?* - ? ncl n lllHUU, BO not one thing happened. Couldn't Do It, She Says. "You see," Miss Rosalie went on, "It would be the greatest Joke In the world for a man to try to beat a sufTrngo wife. Just Imagine, for Instance, an ordinary man trying to chastise?well. It wouldn't bo fair to mention any names. But you know some of our energetic suffragists in the city. Why, 1 wonder what would happen to him?" and General Jones laughed her men lest. "I Imagine Dr. Waugh hasn't much to occupy his time when he wastes It advising men to whip their devoted partners In life. After a few more years of suffrage there won't be much room for men of Dr. Waugh's type anyway." "Rut to analyze his statements In detail. Miss Jonesf I "Well," said the doughty leader of i . suffrage armies, 'take his remark about women expecting men to be the heads of the house That's the old., b 1 *v" * . - ' <* k;i FOR AND AGAIN! fashioned way. Suffrage expects the man and hlH wife to be equal heads of the house. Nor does the modern suffrage wife expect to bo ruled by any mere man. "The only speck of truth In Dr. Waugh'B theory I can And Is In his second stntemont. where he says, "When you have her, live for her. she dfttllflnrlu It ' Cit ennroo >*? ? ?.. v. vx t v. v/ui uut otic uciiiauun it. And it'b her right to do bo. Every woman demands her husband to dovote hlmHelf to her alone, and, under the suffrage idea, if he doesn't he'u going to hear from her in short order. Calls Arguments Absurd. "Now, take what he says about beating her when she makes you jealous. That is the most absurd thing I ever heard of. It is part of a woman's duty to mako her husband jealous. That Is one of the ways she holds his affections. It Is human na- ' turo to want what you're not suro of, and when a man's not sure of a woman he wants her a lot more than if she was groveling about nt his feet ! all the time. If a man beat his wife every time she made him Jealous, | she'd hate the ground he walked on in ten minutes. "He says fear and devotion are synonymous. That's also ridiculous. 1 Imagine loving anything you dread or ] fear. As for fearing wives sitting up | all night, well, maybe they do, but It's trying to devise some plan to placate | their 'lords' and not to 'please' them." General Rosalie went Into a paroxysm of mirth over the gravity of Dr. WiMgh's remark that the approbation of masculine lords was worth striving for. "Ha, ha!" chuckled the little general, "I knew he was a bachelor. "The way for a man to hold a woman's love and respect is to bo gentle to her. He can be firm withnilt hontino h or nn thn hnoH ? golf club or punching her In the eye. I doubt If any woman ever really loved a man better after he had kicked her In the shins or knocked her down and pounded her Into a comatose condition. Hut I have known them to love him better because he was good and kind, and thoughtful and attentive, and strong, but not brutal. Echo of Past Ages. "As for women being unable to control themselves and needing to be controlled by a man, that Is all a thing of the past ages. Modern women?1 mean suffragists, of course? are not only able to control themselves. but 1 Imagine are quite well equipped to control others when necessary. Dr. Waugh Is simply a Joke." And General Rosalie laughed agnln. Quite different was the viewpoint of Mrs. Samuels. "1 do not agree with all he says." she declared, "but there 1s surely a lot of common sense behind his theory. No, I have never myself been beaten; my husband did not find It necessary to do so, but 1 know of cases' where beatings would have been very effective among 1 wives. "The theory that ( man Is master : and woman hia slave is as old as time. It goes back to the days of the cave men, who knocked their wives on the head and carried them back i home on their shoulders. I doubt If any common woman ever loved a man as those women of old loved 1 their lords. This Woman Agrees With Him. "It Is woman's nature to be ruled. If she Is not ruled she will search till she finds some one who will command her. That Is the cause of much of the domestic Infelicity of today. I do not know that fear and love are as closely allied as Dr. Waugh says, but It Is certain there Is an affinity between them somewhere. A woman who feara the wrath of her hnsband loves him bob ter than a woman who has no fear of him at all. Is the way I would put It. concur heartily In his advice to t ' ( J \ >T WIFE BEATING DR.

There are so many lost arts nowa days that one hesitates to add any , more. We are told that letter writing is a lost art. and conversation. We ( are sure that doing nothing must be, because so many women develop neurasthenia when they attempt to prac- ( tlce It.

"Come, now," said the debt collector; "he hasn't been gone t. week, and you drove the van." "Did I?" "You know you did." "And it's only a week ago?" "Of course." "Funny how easily a fellow forgets." The collector produced half a sovereign and tendered It. "That ought to rouse your memory," he remarked. "It ought to do so, sir," he admitted; "but, you see, this ain't no common ordinary memory, and It'll take a deal o' rousing. Why, It cost a sovereign to put It to sleep." Case of Necessity.

Cleaning Up of Infection Is Huge Job, But Believed Can Be Accomplished Same as Eradication of Ticks in South. Beginning with a few counties in Iowa and Indiana, the department of agriculture Is commencing a campaign for the eradication of hog cholera. As this d'sease is as widespread as the hog raising industry, which covers the whole country, the cleaning up of the infection is a large order, it is believed, however, that it can be done in much the same way that the cattle tick is being eradicated from the south. Beforo the tick eradication work started it was feared that it was an impossible task. The experts of the department, however, figured out methods of cattle dipping, pasture rotation and other means of control so that now a quarter of the area in the south that formerly was under strict cattle quarantine has been declared tick free and released. Counties adjoining the cleared territory have seen the benefit and are taking up the work so that eventually the impossible will bo accomplished and the whole of the south will be turned into a cattle-raising country. It is thought that the same thing can bo done with hog cholera. Congress last year appropriated $75,000 to start the work. The beginning in Iowa will % be in co-operation with the Iowa State college. The method used will be the serum that was developed by Doctor Dorsett of the department of agriculture. Hog cholera la by all odds the greatest scourge of the hog-raising industry. It was estimated that it cost the farmers last year $60,000,000. Before the discovery of the serum treatment the toll was still larger. Cholera was regarded as inevitable and was almost always ratal. There was no protection against it except segregating the well hogs, and this precaution was uncertain. The injection of the serum gives immunity from attack even on close contact. The immunity is not permanent, but it lasts long enough to allow cleaning up an entire community. It was estimated that the second year the Beruin was in use it saved about $11,000,000. Now many of the states are manufacturing the serum in their own agricultural laboratories and distribute It free on application. The plan for cleaning up the country Is to commence on county areas, as is being done In Indiana and Iowa, and gradually spread the work, cleaning up In widening circles and preventing the Importation of the disease by careful quarantine. Any specific local outbreak will be wiped out us quickly as It can bo located. It may be the work of years to get all the country cleaned, but it Is believed once it is cleaned it can be kept 30. This will mean a great increase in the hog-raising industry, larger profits and a proportionate reduction in the price of meat. REWINDINNG OF BARBED WIRE Excellent Use May Be Made of Old Buggy Axle and Wheels?Two Men Required to Operate. The sketch shows a very useful de vlco for winding loose wire and taking 1 up old wire fences. Procure an old 1 buggy axle and wheels, and fasten two two-by-four sticks five feet lqng to the 1 axle as illustrated. Provide that front end with a rod, the end of which is bent to form a crank. Two bent nails hold the block which had to be cut out to allow the rod to be put in place. When the f TPtfl -J To Rewind Barbed Wire. Bpool is on, the nails are twisted so as to keep the rod In place. If the rod does not hold the spool tightly, use wedges, writes Carl Achilles in the Independent Farmer. One man pushes, and the man in front turns the crank. Wire can be wound as fast as a man can walk and just as evenly as when bought new. Save the Manure. In promptly handling barnyard manure, the farmers can save or lose hundreds of dollars annually. A manure heap is a hot bed of bacterial activities. Some of the nitrogen is * - iui lut-u iiiiu uiumuuia ana passes into | the air; this Is a clear loss. Some is transformed into nitrates, which are soluble. These are washed out by rains and sink into the soil or run off into the ditch; this also is a direct Iobs. Some is formed by bacteria into nitrates and these nitrates attacked by another species of bacteria which change into nitrogen gaB, which passes into the air and Is lost. Hint for Horsemen. Never start to lead the horse from his stall till you hold or fasten back the door. Doors have been known to wing to where they were not fastened open, catching the horse's head, the animal r tiling back end breaking hla neck. . I EXCELLENT HAY RACK LIFT Much Manual Labor May Ba Saved by Use of Device Shown In llluetratlon?How Worked. (By J. WESLEY GRIFFIN.) Much heavy lifting may be avoided by having a place on which the hay rack may rest when not in use. By making a support something like the one shown in the drawing, not only the heavy lifts may be avoided but much time saved. I have known as many as three men to lose an hour tjuuu, Kuing iu ami irum int.* utziu, juai to change a wagon body and the hay frame. This was at a time when time was valuable, more so than other times. With a lift like this one, or something similar, one man can change frames with ease and dispatch. All one has to do is to drive between the posts at the lower end. The rack will be lifted from the wagon as ?y? ???J To Load the Rack. the team draws it through. The lift should be the same height at the top of the lowest posts, as the top of the wagon wheels, the rear ones, then the rack is raised above the wheels the wagon will pass out, leaving the rack high and dry. When ready to load the rack, simply drive between the posts, under the rack, and slip back the rack, at the same time back the wagon. As soon as the rear of the rack rests on the wagon, stand on the rear of the rack and your weight will hold the rack in place while the team is backed far enough to let the front of the rack fall In place. MONEY IN QUINCE GROWING There la Unlimited Demand for Them and Fruit Is Neglected More Than Any Other. Two acres of quinces ought to make more money for the farmer than 20 acres of apples, according to J. C. Yl'kUfon ?0 V,, * I W.. I .. If uiucu, ^lUirDOUl U1 11U1 llt'Ullur? Hi the Ohio College of Agriculture, in a lecture to the pomology class. "The quince is more neglected in proportion to Its merits than any of our orchard fruits," he said. "Nobody ever saw an overplus of quinces. There is an unlimited demand for them. If the farmer has a place where they will do well, the crop properly handled will pay better than any of our orchard fi\iits. The fruit is the firmest we have to ship, the most handsome and the best keeper." According to Professor Whitten, quince-growing has never had a boom. "This is because the quince grown under ordinary treatment, as most of our apples and other fruits are grown, does not have a good flavor and is poor in quality. The treeB must have individual care and expert treatment. It requires the greatest skill to select the right site for the orchard. If properly handled, pruning, spraying and picking are easier than in our other orchards. "When cooked the quince is the best of our core or stone fruits. For preserves, jellies and the like, the quince is the richest, most highly flavored and the most delicious fruit wo have." SELF-RDI! FD I IMF Sill PHIIR Expert of Alabama Experiment Station Gives Some Excellent Advice on Spray Material. Writing in regard to the use of self-boiled lime-sulphur solution to combat the San Jose scale, Dr. W. E. Hinds of the Alabama experiment station says: "We cannot depend upon .he heat of the lime to produce a combination that will be effective as a winter wash against San Jose scale. ... I fear that the writers recommending this, confuse the preparation of selfboiled lime sulp'.ijr for summer use for brown rot with the fire-boiled wash for the scale. An ineffective wash means waste of the materials, labor and perhaps the ruin of the orchard also. "There is, of course, latitude for some variation in the proportion of lime and sulphur, ranging between fifteen pounds and twenty pounds of earth. Considering the danger of getting a poor grade of lime, and the cheapness of that material, I believe it advisable to use slightly more lime than sulphur. I would advise eighteen or twenty pounds of lime and fifteen pounds of sulphur to make fifty gallons of wash. It is necessary to boll this for at least thirty minutes, and better, for forty-five or more, tc get the most effective wash." Rape for Fall Feed. Rape sown at the rate of two pounds tO thft DOTA In tho nnrnflnM mKnn the last plowing has been done, or even later, will often furnish a wealth of fall feed for aheep, swine and cattle other than milch cows. Such a plan is especially good if "hogging off" corn is considered. Lambs will eat the rape and not waste any of the corn, and will produce meat at a minimum of expense. It will be advisable to snap or husk the corn before any other animals are turned into the field. v P : ^ ; ^ J V ^ j TOO HASTY IN HIS ACTION j Senator Root Finds Lesson for States man In Good Story of the Green Sailor.
