C raon would have found tbai hard to
Have. It wa« true that they -aha
and Ktlaa—had been resolutely en-
dearorlng to pay off the mortgage on
their little farm, and that their pro
gress bad been slow. They had denied
themselves many comforts and Elias,
though obliged to keep one hand, had
never seemed to think It necessary
that his wife should have any help In
tne house. Indeed, she had never
thought so hersel f. She was a vigorous
little woman, and the work was not
unu. ually hard, only monotonous and
constant. EUas milked the cows,
churned the cream, fed the calves and
brought the wood. The well was at
the door and the cistern was In the
kitchen, and If the house was small, It
was very conveniently arranged, and
much more easily kept clean than a
large one would have been. The
larder was always supplied ; for Elias
was a good provider, and rightly
thought it poor economy to stint bis
table.

said to herself.
The next day there was a circus in
the neighboring town, and Jerry an
nounced Lis Intention of going to see
It. . Accordingly he trudged off soon
after breakfast, telling Mrs. Hopkins
In an Independent away, that she need
not look for him till she saw him com
ing. She had a vague apprehension
that be Intended a long stay, as Jerry’s,
habits were not above reproach.
When noon came, the squealing of
the pigs reminded her that they lived
by call' g, and as there was no
one eWe to supply their wants she
put on her sun bonnet and went
out to the barn. The corn was In
the crib, and after an indefinite
amount of tugging and panting, she
succeeded in getting a baa kelful. This
she found waa too heavy, so she waa
obliged to unload part of It. There
were a dozen or more all squealing at

Indeed, since Mrs. Hopkins had be
gun to count her blessings In this ne
gative fashion, she was surprised to
find how little she bad Vo grieve over,
and hop much to be thankful for. Her
recent discontent rose up before her
like an accusing angel. She felt as

When tbe sun went down that night
Mrs. Hopkins was a stronger, happier
woman. Jerry returned in time to do
the chores, for which fact, after her
experience In the morning, she was

Experience has taught them that
agents were not a success, as they very
sion began to trade on the supposed
incapability of women as business man
agers and tried to deceivo them by
charging for work which was never
done. Their farms, which aggregate
4,^00 acres, were inherited from their
father. John D. Gillett, a well known
man of Logan County, nine yeans ego.
These young women, practical ag
riculturists, having picked up much
of their knowledge going over the
farms with their lather, and disgusted
with their agents, took charge of their
own farms. For the first few years
after they assumed the management
they devoted their entire time to the
farms, and now tbe land yields twice
as much as it did at the time of their
father’s death. Corn Is their principal
product, and the average \lald Is sixty
bushels an acre. They have drained a

brought to light by the work of the

that no matter where young shad are

that same place next year, even though
hundreds of miles from tbe sea. For
instance, shad put into the Ohio near
Cincinnati have returned there ever
since and are not found in any other

—Arrangements are being carried
on by the Department of Agriculture
for the making of sample good roads
of different methods of construction at
the agricultural colleges and expert

This is to be brought about by co
operation of the Government, the local
authorities and the manufacturers of
road-making marchinery. Tbe Gov
ernment will furnish the engineer and
instructor for the students and also
skilled operators of tbe machine?. The
manufacturers will furnish the plant.
Tbe city or town where the model
