NO FAIR SHOW FOR WOMEN THE UNITED STATES DEPART- ■ MENT OF AGRICULTURE, IN A I RECENT BULLETIN, MAKES THE FOLLOWING STARTLING ASSER- j HONS. i> The most important building on a ' farm is tbe home and the most itnpor- : tant room in the /arm home is the kit- J eh en. This is a conclusion reached by ! the experts in the Department of Agri- j culture, who have been charged -with the • duty of making a careful and conscien- I tioua study of farm life. "Investigations of prisons, insane asylums, and houses of correction seem to prove the fact," they say, "that the conditions which account for the existence of these institutions are often found in inadequate and unhappy farm homes. Better farm homes are needed. Pleasant and comfortable farm homes tend to hold families together. But the cheerless, unlovable and insanitary houses drive boys and girls to the cities." It is the judgment of the investigation of farm life that the average farm home failed to share in the improvement that are every day being made on the farm. Farm women of a century ago with their open fires and log houses were better off than is the farm woman of to*y, it is declared. No attention has heen paid to comfort or economy of the farmer's wife's labor. COWXESS lilll HEBE . The latest product of the artificial (OodLaboratory is a brand of "eowless" mIMO which. It is now discovered, has been for some weeks sold to a large •umber or Indianapolis people ns the , real bov'lne article. Inspectors of that , city have Just proved this by noting that the cream settled at the bottom of the bottle instead of rising to the top. i and on analysis It was found tbat this , milk was manufactured by mixing a powder with water and adding a sufficient quantity of cream to yield the , proper percentage of butter fat. It would' appear that technically this • Is as wholesome as the real cow's milk, but nevertheless a fraud 1b practiced when it is sold without being disclosed ] In its true character. mils case is analogous to that of ' oleomargine. the makers of which ' . originally sold it as butter and obtained , for It butter prices. It Is now under , the laws of thq United States and most , of the States required to bf so pre- . pared and marked as to be identified unmistakably as imitation butter. ' Thus the authorities of Indianapolis . are now requiring the case of artifi- - clal or manufactured milk. Every con- ' •utr.er has a right to know the exact 1 Character of the product for which j he Is paying. It Is altogether probable that the artificial milk costs less to ! make than cow's milk, and yet there is no reason to believe that the consumers were charged loss prices on their bills. ' Tliey thought they were getting cow's 1 Inllk and knew tiiey were paying for It. —Washington Star. THE SUCCESSFUL FABHEB jl Money saved to make needed improve- ! (nents on the farm.

THE FISH TRUST. t It Is probable that the so-called Fish 1 I Trust will soon be investigated by Con- i Kress. If so. we may learn whence , the mysterious power comes by which ' | fish, which should be the cheapest of ( I food in this part of 'the country, is al- , j ways kept at a high price, wjille thou- • j sands of tons of fish are either thrown ^ I back into the sea or used ah fertilizer , on land. That there is an titegal com- ( • bination which makes this conditton , . I possible is no secret, but it will prubI ably require a Congressional prolie to . force the conspirators into the light. — { I Jersey Journal. j No Congressional probe is needed to • I , wipe out the pound net imposition if J - I the State Legislature will rise io the ,] -J emergency and do its duty. The reguf latlon. or even suppreslon of the prac- r - I lice is wholly within the powers of the f s State, which powers should be exer- t . | cised without further delay. There is T | no reason on earth why the people of . New Jersey should be mulcted in large f j amounts every year to fatten the treas- ( » ury of the fisli trust. Let there be a c . Congressional investigation by all v i means, but" pending such Investigation l the power of the State should be in- _ . voked to safeguard the people gainst 5 , pound net robbery. — West Jersey Press, {j > Many of the pound nets are placed e ■ beyond the tliree-milp-llmit within p • which the state has jurisdiction, gome- . times they are from five to ten miles , out and implanted in fifty feet of water. . Those familiar with the circumstances j believe that a tug wrecked off here some years ago met this fate by slami mlng down on a pound stake in a heavy _ . sea, five miles or so from shore and , putting a hole in her bottom. The , stakes certainly obstruct navigation. , and the national government should give heed to it. The pound ne'ts. how- 1 ever, are not the agency which is dl- g mlnishing the supply of fish most ser- v lously* THE MENHADEN STEAMERS n | And the fish factories they feed, con- g stltute the serious menace. These i| steamers go wherever the fish are and five.' The devastations of these pirates b can be easily checked by the state by fi | the action of the Fish and Game Com- . mission. All It will have to do will be . be to refuse them license.** This will " cause a loss to the State Treasury of B - from 12.000 to 82.500. but it wili save f, the coast section many thousands of d°"*ra' o d FREE SCHOOL IN p THIS COUNTRY B Tlie first free school established in the j States was in the province of Massachusetts Bay in the year 1041 by — order of the general colonial court. In 1647 the same authority declared that free schools should be established within every town having fifty householders under penalty of a line of 825. fine was doubled by a declaration made in 1074 and again doubled in 1683. Connecticut established free schools in and levied n tax for their Supportestablished free schools in 1694 and levied a tax on negroes, pelts, furs and beef and pork for their support. Gov. Berkeley declared in 1049 the hone that free schools would never be established in Virginia, but the towns of Charleston and Elizabeth did establish ~ them , in that year, and Elizabeth set aside 200 acres of land and eight cows the increase from which was' applied to support the schools. | lour years later the number of cows : had increased ;tb 40. Pennsylvania was | settled by Penh" on the Delaware River in 1681. and the same year a free school, conducted under the* auspices of ! the Friends, or Quakers, was established in Philadelphia. — Exchange.

FOREST NOTES Tin- Legislature of Virginia and South Carolina are considering advanced forestry legislation. Incense cedar is proving valuable for piling on the Pacific coast where marine borers are particularly troublesome. The paper used by the government printing each year requires approximately 125 million pounds of rag pulp und million pounds of wood pnlp. F. A. Elliott, state forester of Oregon, says that cooperative lire patrol associations among lumbermen for prevention of forest fires have proved their worth. Of 606 fires last year on the national forests of Arizona. New Mexico add Oklahoma, more than one-half were caused by lightning. Campers set about one-tenth, and railroads one-twentieth. Roadside signs, each containing a single catchy sentence in large type, are S roving effective in warning" against res on western forests. They give the essentials and tell the importance of protection against forest fires.
