Women have certainly become a fac

here are no arguments weighty enough i
o convince the advanced woman of
,be day that she le nut Ii tnd for any
valk in life which is sought by edu
,ated mon as a means of earning a
iving. Parming as an occupation for
Nomen may not sound attract,ive to
adios of culture and refinement, but
it, has been demonstrated by three
foung womien in lilinois that it is both
% lucrative and enjoyable business for
6he gentler sox, and alio that th y
need not, lose their taste for the liner
things of life in t.his humble employ
ment,. They believe that woman can
properly manage any business if she l,
trained for it and will closely observe
all the details and attend to It herself.
I':xperience has taught tiaem that,
agents were not it stccesa, as they very
s'on bigan to trade on th.; supposed
incapability of womi':n as business man
agers and tried to deceive them by
charging for work which was never
done. Their farmrs, which aggregate
I,'200 acres, were inherited from their
fattier, John I). Gitlett,, a well known
man of I,ogan County, nino years ago.
Thes> young wto ien, practical ag
r"ietilturists, having picked up nuch I
of their knowledge going over the
firms with their father, and disgusted
wiLb their age-nts, took charge of their
owl fitams. h'or the first few years
after they assumecd the mlanagement
t,bey d evoted ihi r eniLi time to the
fiarmis, and now the land yields twice
as much as it did at the time of their
fat,br's death. Corn is thleir principal
product, and the average t ield is sixty
buOshls an aer'e. Th'iey have drined a
lake of -100 acres lby digging it ditch a
