Successful women farmers are no longer a novelty, numbers of them being found In all sections of the country. Possibly the smallest farm that has provided a living for Its own er Is carried on by Mrs. Jane C. Bar> row, of Connecticut, says the Ameri can Cultivator. This energetic lady has succeeded In hammering a living for herself and two children on the suitable for planting, and this acre has really brought in most of the In come by means of a system of Inten sive farming which Is remarkable, to say the least. One-fourth of this one acre was devoted to poultry, and last year 2,000 ducks were raised and sold at a weight of four pounds each when between three and four months old. The feather crop alone amounted to 400 pounds. On this acre of tillable land, be sides the ducks, were 100 fowls, 24 turkeys, 60 pairs of pigeons and 75 valuable. The birds are sold daring the holiday season, and being espec ially well fattened bring the very highest prices. The bees are an ex cellent Investment and Mrs. Barrow considers the work pleasant and suit able for a woman. Bees pick up their living In the summer, but receive some extra feeding In winter. Of course, the large supplies of food needed for the poultry are not raised on the farm. They are bought, outside at considerable expense. Mrs. Barrow hesitates to buy more land, A Two Roll Mangle. Mr. Paul E.

Upon the proclaiming of the new constitution in Constantinople the other day "thousands of unveiled wo men paraded the streets, rejoicing in their new-found freedom." Since the veil was adopted in Turkey with the Moharamendan religion, its wearing being proscribed by the Koran, it is seen what a revolutionary step has been taken by the Turkish women. Their action is inspired by their new desire for religious and political liberty. The Newport women who have taken up the Mohammedan veil j are simply fascinated by the novelty* of the thing. Since all feminine fash-' ions are planned to please the men, the double veil is not likely to last long. Every man with an extensive feminine acquaintance knows one or two women, perhaps, whom he would ungallantly prefer to see wearing the Mohammedan veil, as he knows a few men who would appear to better ad vantage in masks, but woman’s beau ty was not made to be concealed. None realize this more clearly than the dear creatures themselves. A few judicious hints to the effect that the double veil is worn only by those who need it should soon put an end to the fashion. This woman says she was saved from an operation by Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. Lena V. Henry, of Norristown, Ga., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: “ I suffered untold misery from fe- mnle troubles. My doctor said an opera tion was the only chance I had. and I dreaded it almost as much as death. “One day I read how other women had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I decided to try it. Before I had taken the first bottle I was better, and now I am en tirely cured. “Every woman suffering with any female trouble should take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.” Brain Leaks. 'The Commoner.) No man acquires an enviable rep utation by always tearing down. Some young men work awfully hard to land an easy job. Any one of us can forget, politics for the minute that the fish Is nib bling. A number of men hold to the moral code that says the sin Is merely la being found out. Politicians talk slightly of the labor vote when they discover that they cannot “work” it. Two classes of people worry about money—those who have none and those who have a lot of It. The bookbinders’ strike is almost over. Now we wish the book bor rowers would go on a strike. Some men hold to the idea that jus tice means giving them what they want instead of what they deserve.
