Whether to Beat, or Not to Beat,

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

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 . suffrage armies, 'take his remark

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

woman demands her husband to dovote

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

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

FEW WALK FOR PLEASURE
Writer Laments .That "Tramping" | J
Has Become One of the Arts
That Are Lost and Mourned.
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. The critics of the drama assure
us that acting is, and the critics
of opera that singing is, und the critics i
of literature that poetry Is.
Yet. at the danger of overcrowding ^
the mortuary chapel of the arts, a
long observation of our highways, by- (
ways and mountain trails tins persuaded
us that the art of walking has
now perished also and must be assigned
to the same mournful resting !
place, nobody walks any more, ex- <

really walks, that is.
Walking is still practiced (as little
as possible) utilitarianly. Many New
York women, for example, totter on
dizzy heels from their motors at the
curb all the way across tho sidewalk, i
Hut as nn art it is no longer practiced.
The secret has been forgotten by all (
savo a chosen few?of whom, of
course, we are one! 1
We hold no brief against motors, i ,
What's the use? Besides, they are
very useful things in getting you to
n convenient starting point for a walk. ]
The only trouble with motors Is that
people stay In them. The Yankee
type used to be lank and sinewy.
Pioneers and pedestrians are always
more or less lank and sinewy. Hut
the motors are altering our type. The
man who takes a 20-mlle walk for the
5fun of it Is looked upon as a mild
sort of lunatic. Why walk when a
motor will get you thero so much
quicker??Wulter Pinchard Eaton, lu
American Magnztne.
Valued His Memory.
He was a furniture remover's man,
and his memory, as he cheerfully admitted,
was "very convenient."
"No, 1 can't remember where Mr.
Sly lit has taken his fumily and furni- j
lure."
"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.

WAR ON HOG CHOLERA
Serum Developed by Department
of Agriculture Used.
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.

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

nitrates and these nitrates attacked by
another species of bacteria which

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

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

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.
