first group belong the great majority of onr working girls,
ire the daughters of men in the unskilled trades, vho never earn
wage, or of men whose wages ere high, but only seasonal. They
WS the girls who leave school at fourteen, who go to work in an unskilled
irade, such as candy or box making, because the more skilled industries
flo not take them so young. Unfortunately, owing to the lack of oppor-
tunity to get further training, many of them remain in these low-paid
trades.
The second group includes the highest-paid wage worker and the
lalaried woman. These are stenographers, some girls in department
ytores, teachers, nurses, etc. Like the others, these women work because
they must; but, unlike their sisters in industry, they are able to support
themselves and at the same time afford some recreation and the clothing
fitted to their position. Their wage gives them a chance to live, while
the wage of the first group only keeps the wolf from the door.
It is often objected that some of these women do not need to work,
and that the expenses, such as laundry and cooking, are not counterbal-
anced by what they contribute to the family budget. The home of the
average wage-earning man contains from three to five rooms. The house-
work is done by the wife and mother, and therefore the daughter's help
is not needed, but her economic or earning power is necessary because if it
were withdrawn the home could not be kept up. In the case of the girl
whose father earns a better wage, the objection does not hold. Unless
She works for very small pay she is always able to have a margin outside
her regular expenses which her father's income would not permit.
We must also look at the question from the point of view of the
woman herself. Housework is confining and monotonous and—unless
one has a special liking for it—very hard. Why should she deny herself
work that is congenial, that furthers her own development, enables her
to do gocd in the world and makes her independent when her home
breaks up?

Control of Impulses
Is Great Factor
By W. B. Buringtoo, Wilmington, Del.
It is just hke everything
else. So long as you con-
trol your impulses you will
find them helpful to you in
many ways. But the min-
ute you allow your impulses
to govern you they are no
longer of any use to you, but will drive 3rou in many a wrong direction.
The only way to make them serviceable is to keep them under restraint
with the aid of common sense.
It is not intended by this to underestimate the value of intuition.
There is a sort of sixth sense, which women in particular have. It warns
theni when danger is lurking. We call it woman's intuition for want
of a better name, and often you can trust your intuition when common
sense seems to find no way out for you.
But dcn't do anything on the spur of the moment. Impulse in con-
junction with sober thought and common sense will sway you in the right
direction, but impulse alone will lead you where you are bound to regret.
If you are angry don t let impulse drive you to put your anger in
Bpeech, for you may find later that you have no grounds for your anger,
but if you have put it in speech it is too late to retract the things you have
«aid. Don't give way to impulsive anger. Sit down and reason it nut,
and if after an hour's sober reflection you conclude to sav something
severe to the offender, then you have at least some grains of right on your
side.
Don't write L'tters on the impulse of the moment. Remember you
are writing in one mood and the recipient will read in another and may
see your meaning in quite a different light. Govern your impulses with
discretion and common sense if you wish to make them useful.
Representative "Cyclone" Davis
of Texts has denied on the floor of
the house that he had promised the
farmer* of Texaa never to wear a
collar, although he did admit that
what he weara la becoming a national
question.
Mr. Davie uid he had a weak
chest and that he had been advised
by a physician to protect hla throat
and lungs. He added:
"I have endeavored to do this by
wearing a muffler. This week I pulled
off a silkenette muffler that cost me
$1.50 and put on a IB-cent collar and
It becomes a national sonsation. For
the benefit of the very delicate and
fastidious sensibilities of the New
York gentry and diamond-decked
dudes who read the papers, I beg to
say that I have little regard for the
Summery, frills, flounces and furbe-
lows that the world calls fashion.
I think comfort, decency and health
should be the governing factors in the selection of all dress."
The other day Speaker Clark beckoned to Mr. Davis.
"I would like to have you preside over the bouse for a few minutes," ha
said.
"I would be deeply honored," said Davis.
"But you must not shout 'Amen' from the chair," warned Mr. Clark.
"Then I can't accept the gavel," said "Cyclone," and he walked back to
his seat, and began yelling "Amen" again with redoubled force.

SENATOR WADSWORTH HAZED
Good Chance Offered
for American Turf
By HARRY M. WILLIAMS, N*w York
Just at this time the
£\[ 1 /^<i f\/r 1 American turf has ita op-
VaOOd Chance vJltered portunity. The opportu-
nity comes with the very
natural curtailment of rac-
ing in England, France,
Germany and Austria,
wh^re racing is more or less of a national institution. Conditions abroad
have made it possible to purchase high-class thoroughbreds that in times
of peace would never go to th? sales ring.
Hie American thoroughbreds were driven out in vast numbers by the
adverse legislation a few years tack, and it was imperative to restock the
farms if the breeding of thoroughbreds was to continue.
There have been many purchases of note, and this fall many of these
English-bred horses will be offered at auction. Others have been brought
over by individuals for their own breeding purposes, and it is safe to
assume that within a few years this infusion of new English blood will j
be of vast benefit to the America;: strains. There are many stout old |
American strains, but they cannot be better benefited than by the infusion
cf English blood, just as the English lines are from time to time strength-
ened and made better by French, German or American horses.
Baring is much more than the running of horses around a track.
The horse plays a very important part in national defense, and it is pretty
generally agreed that the thoroughbred is the one horse above all others
to produce the army horse.
This alone should make the great big sport above the reproach that
has frequently come from those who have made no real study of raring.
Senators have been laughing over
a little practical joke played on Sena-
tor Wadsworth of New York. Though
Mr. Wadsworth has been in the sen-
ate only a few weeks, he has estab-
lished his popularity; but a new sena-
tor's popularity only adds to the
pleasure his older colleagues take In
mildly "hazing" him. The hazing
meted out to Mr. Wadsworth was just
the reverse of the classic methods of
West Point, for, instead of having
food stuffed down his throat, he was
almost starved.
Whether the vice president was
In the plot or not does not appear, but
Just before luncheon time he beck-
oned to Mr. Wadsworth, handed him
tho gavel, and left Mr. Wadsworth
to preside. Then Mr. Poindexter of
Washington began a speech that lasted
two hours and a half. Mrs. Wads-
worth was in the gallery waiting for
the senator to take her to luncheon,
and the senator from New York was eager to go, but no one would take hi9
place. The vice president kept out of sight, and the senators to whom Mr
Wadsworth beckoned frantically only smiled and shook their heads.
Finally when Mr. Poindexter had concluded and the vice president had
returned, Mrs. Wadsworth had gone away in despair, and the senator from
New York, almost exhausted with hung-ir, ate by himself In the senate
restaurant.
HEADS FORESTRY BODY
Charles I.athrop Pack, financier,
worker in many public-spirited move-
ments and one of the fathers of tho '
conservation movement, was unani- |
mously elected president of the Amer-
ican Forestry association at its re- !
cent annual convention in Boston.
Mr. Pack makes his home in
Lakewood, N. J., and Cleveland, 0. !
As one of tho active organizers of the 1
famous conference of governors, held !
at the White House in 1908, he was
Instrumental in giving impetus to tha I
cause of the conservation of national i
resources. He was president of the j
Fifth National Conservation congress,
held in Washington, D. C., in 1913, and
his administration of the affairs of ;
the congress brought about notable
wuhievements in the matter of for-
bBtry and water power conservation.
Mr. Pack was one of tho first forestry
experts in America. In 1885 he re-
ceived from the late Jay Gould what
Is believed to have been the first large fee ever paid in tho country for the
services of a forester. He has been a conspicuous success in business and
finance. He is vice president of the Wor!1 Court league and a member ol
the National Institute of Social Sciences.
(By W. MILTON KELLY.)
The winter Is the most critical pe-
riod in the eare of breeding animals
and many farmers would And larger
and more certain profits from their
farm stock If they would give more
time and study to the winter care and
feeding of their breeding animals
All kinds of breeding stock require
good shelter—that is. dry. clean,
comfortable and so constructed that
there will always be an abundance of
pure air without exposing the ani-
mals to cold drafts.
Brood bows and breeding ewes re-
quire plenty of room and will thrive
best If separated in hunches so as to
prevent crowding and fighting at the
troughs and feed racks. Pregnant
animals should not be kept with other
animals where they will be compelled
to light their own way for a place to
eat and drink, as they are more sub-
ject to Injury, and violent exercise is
quite apt to cause serious trouble.
Exercise Is an important essential
In the winter management of all kinds
of breeding animals and the yards
should be large enough so that the
animals may go out and In as they
please during every pleasant day.
Many swine breeders make a prac-
tice of feeding their brood sows quite
a distance from their sleeping quar-
ters In order to Induce them tc exer-
cise freely, and I have found this an
excellent plan, for many sows become
sluggish during pregnancy and will
not exercise unless compelled to
Exercise Is not very beneficial to
the muscular and maternal develop-
ment of breeding sows, but It pre
vents constipation which Is one of
the most serious problems we have to
contend with if our sows are in good
flesh condition
Breeding bulls, boars, rams and
stallions should have plenty of fresh
air, light, and exorcise during the win-
ter. Our animals cannot develop good
bone, muscle, constitution, etc.. If they
are compelled to spend tho winter In
the dark, filthy, poorly ventilated pens
and stables and not allowed to exer-
cise during the favorable weather
The grain ration of breeding ani-
mals had best be made up largely
of home-grown grain foods, such as
corn, oats, barley and peas, supple-
mented by such purchased feeds as
wheat bran, middlings and linseed oO
meal.
Clover and alfalfa and mixed hay
cut early and cured properly are the
best kind of roughage for breeding
animals of all kinds during the win-
ter. We must not forget the brood
sows when feeding clover and alfalfa
hay, as these fodders will afford bulk,
which Is so essential In maintaining
them In a healthy, vigorous, flesh-
forming condition. The mechanical
condition of these feedB may be
greatly Improved by running through
a cutting box and steaming and mix-
ing with wheat bran, middlings and
other mill feeds before it Is fed to the
brood sows.
All breeding animals should have
an abundance of succulent foods dur-
ing the winter, and these may be pro-
vided by laying in a supply of corn
ensilage and roots. For breeding
sows, roots, vegetables and waste
fruits are the best form of succulence
and it will pay every farmer to raise
a crop of roots to feed Ills breeding
swine during the winter.
Some farmers and writers advocate
feeding hogs corn ensilage, but I am
not in favor of this practice and have
seen no good results from feeding
ensilage to hogs
All changes should be gradual and
the condition of the animals should
be carefully noted while the changes
are being made, so that the animal's
digestive system will not be deranged
before we can correct the ration.
Reduce Grain Bills.
A warm stable and warm blankets
will effect a material reduction In
grain bills, but do not keep the stable
warm by shutting in the foul air. Open
the doors and windows twice a day
and air out the entire compartment.
The temperature should not got be-
low 45 degrees nor above 80.
Use Purebred Cows.
While a good grade cow is a profit-
able milk producing machine she only
brings profit from one source, as you
cannot sell her calf for breeding pur-
poses. By using the purebred dairy
cow you have three sources of in-
come—her milk, her calf and her
manure.
HOTBED CONSTRUCTION AND MANAGEMENT

labels instead of really get-
ting acquainted. We have class distinctions in America, just as every-
where else. What is the capitalist to the wcrkingman ? Simply a man
with jobs to give. What is the workingman to the capitalist? Simply
• name or a number.
Take the word "foreigner." The moment we git* that label to ■

And such things determine our whole attitude.
His would be an unimaginative
soul that did not find some inspira-
tion and quickening in the career of
Lord Shaughnessy, the son of an Irish
policeman of Milwaukee, Wis., who
has now added to his other honors
the rank of peer to the realm.
Shaughnessy himself has strong
views on the question of aristocracy.
More than once ho has expressed his
repugnance to an aristocracy of
wealth, such as prevails in America,
*nd for an aristocracy of family based
on wealth, such as prevails in Eng-
land.
Lord Shaughnessy began railroad-
ing as a lad of sixteen In the office of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad. Ten years later he was the
company's general storekeeper. When
Sir William Van Home took over the
management of the Canadian Pacific
, |n 1881 he took the first train to Mil-
give persons numbers or , waukee order
to secure the services

and fixed the appointment then and there, for Shaughnessy was considered
the best purchasing agent on any American railroad. Then It was Just one
step after another; assistant manager, Manager, vice president, general
manager, and then president at the age cf forty-six years.
Shaughnessy has been described as the ablest man In Canada. Ho baa

in making a hotbed the gardener
should bo governed by (1) climate,
12) location, (3) kind of material used,
(4) requirements of plants grown, (5)
time the bed is made. A hotbed has
artificial bottom heat while a cold
frame does not. This heat may be
supplied in a number of ways but the
farmer will find stable manure from
the horse stable the most satisfactory
for heating.
Tho common type of hotbed frame
is made C feet wide, 1- feet long with
12 and 6-inch sides respectively. The
depth of the frame varies according
to the plants to be grown. Two by
3-inch cross bars are placed at Inter-
vals to support sash and give the
frame firmness. If frames are to be
used each year, it Is advisable to make
them of good 2-incli material with
bolted parts so they can be readily
taken apart and stored until needed.
Standard hotbed sash are made 3 feet
by G feet. Thus a 12-foot frame re-
quires four jasli.
I The manure used should he made
uniform in composition by forking It
1 over several times before placing it
1 In the pit. Hotbeds which are in-
tended to last for two months should
have from two to three feet of ma
nure. The longer the beat required
the more manure should the bed con-
tain.
A layer of coarse material Is first
placed In the bottom of tho pit to
keep the manure (rom coming in con-
tact with the ground. When fermen-
tation has developed sufficiently In the
manure, place It In the pit, tramping
It lirmly. A layer of leaf mold or
some coarse material Is then placed
on top of the manure. Boll Is then
placed to a depth according to the
requirement of planta to be grown.
\n average depth of soli Is six Inches,
''lie temperature will riae quite high
at first. Planting should not be done
until it has fallen below 90 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Seeds may be sewn directly In the
soil or in Finall, shallow boxes, com-
monly called "flats." The method ot
sowing tho seed depends upon the
operator and kind of seed. Tho frame
will need ventilation on bright sunny
days. The grower should watch the
frame each day, for It should be han-
dled as local conditions require. Ven-
tilation can easily be given by raising
the sash a few Inches. If possible,
avoid dull cold days for watering the
plants. Lower the sash in time to re-
tain ample heat throughout the night.
Endeavor to maintain growing condi-
tions in a hotbed at all times. This
will require close attention ta venti-
lation and watering. When plants are
stunted in a hotbed tho best results
from them in tho garden cannot be
expected In brief, tho points to con-
sider in management of a hotbed are:
tl) Maintaining proper beat. (2) Ven-
tilating. (3) Watering. (4) Harden-
ing iff. (5) Transplanting.
Beginners are apt to start their
plants too early in the season. Plants
should be stocky, strong and vigorous
when they leave the frame. If j iants
are poorly grown or growth retarded
very little is gained by the use of a
frame.
Buying cheap seeds is poor economy.
Good seeds must be true tc name,
virile, pure and be of the greatest oo
sible longevity. Buy the best seeds
that a reliable seedsman has tc offer.
Endeavor tc secure the superior and
improved strains at all times for in
this way only can undeslrablo seed be
avoided. It Is seldom wise for the
farmer to grow his own seed. Careful
judgment should be exercised In choos-
ing garden seeds, and they should al-
ways be ordered In ample time befort
planting to secure a good choice an#
receive them in due
