Agricultural Colleges Training
Women Farmers.'
Over 60,000 women have already
registered for war service in the la-
bor exchanges throughout the British
Isles; Of these 11,000 have asked for
srnzament work, 9,000 for clerical,
snd 7,000 for agricultural employ-
ment. About 2,000 have offered to
work as shop assistants, 1,200 as
tailors and dressmakers, . including
those prepared to work power ma -
shines and 1,200 as ordinary needle
workers.
The women offering to do arma-
ment work are, for the - most part,
women who have not undertaken work
before; -those offering themselves as
shop assistants, on the other hand,
have done other kinds of work, but
feel that, as large numbers of young
nen are employed in the distributing
wades, the greatest immediate need
for women deputies might be ex -
meted from this quarter.
The Various Schemes
4 training in agriculture, which have
leen undertaken by the Board •of
['rade have been progressing very
;atisfactoriiy. At the Harper Adams
College, Newport, Shropshire, a"sec-
and class of 30 students has just fin-
ished their course of instruction in
:arm operations. These women have
een drafted from Birmingham . and
Shrewsbury, and are of varying so-
sial status, most of them having re-
:eived a good general education.
The workincludes instruction in
stock feeding and tending, dairying,
poultry keeping, horticulture, and.
general farm work. The Board of
Trade inspector, visiting the class be-
fore the conclusion of the course re-
ports that, without exception, the
women appear to be enjoying the
work and that they far exceeded ex-
pectations in energy, enthusiasm, and
capacity. The pupils informed him
that they hoped to be able to endure
the hard physical labor should they
se placed on farms at the completion
>f their course.
Within the past week about 36
women have been placed on farms
maintained in their own counties
where farm hands are urgently need-
sd. 'Negotiations for 14 others are.
in basic!.. ' About 98' are in training' or
have just finished their course.
Other Agricultural Colleges
which are co-operating in the scheme
are Swanley, Garforth (Leeds),
Sparsholf (Winchester), the Midland
Agricultural Training College
(Kingston -on -Soar); • - and Aberyst-
wyth. The course at most of these
colleges is of about three weeks and
includes the rudiments of milking.
Every effort will be made to use
the women in their own counties, and
in this way to diminish the housing
problem. The women's horticultural
societies have co-operated very well,
but the fullest advantages of the
scheme can only be secured if the
farmers will show no diffidence in
testing the ability and good will of
the women, all of whom are carefully
chosen before being sent for training.
In other trades and occupations
there is very little change in the na-
ture of ,the demand for war service.
Footmen are being constantly replac-
ed and so are light porters, cleaners,
messengers, and liftmen. There is a
fair - demand for women accountants
to replace men, and one training col-
lege reports an order for 100 wo-
men with statistieal training toun-
dertake classifications involving :per-
centages. • The banks areemploying
woven, in constantly increasing num-
bers, and in some , of the outlying
post -offices the same thing is happen-
ing, But the higher branches of the
Civil Service still show a great re-
luctance
eluctance to admit women who, with
similar academic training to the men
they would replace, would be willing
to act as deputies:
Rifles of the Armies.
Each army now fighting in Europe
uses a rifle diff front different

have the longest rifle, the : French.
the longest bayonet, while the Aus-
trians use the heaviest bullet. The
rifles with •the largest calibres are
those of the French and the Aus-
trians, The German rifle attains the
greatest muzzle velocity. The Brit-
ish have the shortest ri"i p but with
the bayonet added the weapon is
longer than the rifle and bayonet of
the 13elgians and Austrians.

Pineapple Wax, -- Pbieapple wax
is especially deliciouson ice cream
or other frozen desserts. The receipt
is as follows; Pare a fresh pineapple,
and cut it into cubes of uniform size.
Put them into a steamer, and steam
then until they are tender (until the
cubes look clear). The juice that
resultsis not used, because it is too
strong, but it may be of use in flavor-
iiig other fruits. It shouldnot be
Wasted, for it has a very strong pine-
apple flavor. When the cubes are
done, make a thick syrup of .water
and sugar, and, when it boils, drop in
the cubes, and cook them until thy
again look clear. It makes a preserve
a little stiffer than a marmalade, and
when it is poured over a frozen des-
sert, it becomes a wax that is very
delectable.
Muffins.—This receipt was intro-
duced to a certain household by a ser-
vant from Hungary. In Hungary,
she explained, she used salt pork, but
she found bacon better than pork. She
sifts 1% cupfuls of flour with iia
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a
teaspoonful of sugar and a half tea-
spoonful of salt. Then she adds 'a
beaten egg, 'a teaspoonful, of melted
butter and half a cupful of sweet
milk. After beating smooth she adds
half a cupful of bacon. The bacon is
first fried or broiled until crisp and
then chopped and measured. The
muffins are baked in hot muffin pans
until done and they are eaten with-
out. butter. The bits of bacon
throughout the muffins give sufficient
flavor of the sort butter would supply.

In using butter with meat the first

THE FRENCH TRICOLOR.
Has Been the National Banner of Our
Ally Since 1830.
The French have always favored
the colors of red, white and blue, and
throughout their history red banners,
white plumes, and blue scarves have
been largely used in connection with
royalty and the army. The French
national flag, the tricolor, however,
which combines the three popular
colors of France, is comparatively
modern. The flag was first adopted
about 1794. A decree was issued
which gave to all flags a knot of tri-
color ribbons at the top of the staff,
and later the red, white, and blue
design was chosen for the national
flag. Some years after it was abol-
ished for the white flag of , France
made famous by Henry IV., and it
was not until 1830 that the tricolor
came into its own again. Since then
the flag has been the national ban-
ner 'of France. The divisions on the
tricolor are not all the sane size.
The red occupies: the largest space,
the blue is slightly smaller than the
red, and the white, is the narrowest
stripe of the three. The space occu-
pied by the colors has been scientific-
ally worked out in order to make the
flag visible at long distances, a ne-
cessary asset for naval purposes.
France had numerous national flags
before it adopted the tricolor. Al-
though its present banner is not par-
ticularly artistic, its predecessors
ranked amongst the most beautiful
flags in the world. The first French
flag was extremely quaint, It con-
sisted of a blue hood hung on a cross
bar and represented the cloak of St.
Martin, a saint greatly revered by
the French, and years ago his helmet
was carried by our allies in their
wars to inspire the soldiers.
The second French flag was a
beautiful banner of red, with its loose
end cut into three tongues, resemb-
ling flames, between each of which
was a green tassel.
Some picturesque banners were at
one time carried by the French war-
riors before the tricolor waved over
the French battlefields. There was
the sky-blue cavalry standard with
the golden sun of Louis XIV., the
white and gold banner of Joan of
Arc, magnificently embroidered with
the Madonna, angels, and lilies, and
the famous old banner of the city of
Paris with its white ship on a blood -
red field. The tricolor forms the base
of nearly every flag connected with
the army, navy, and merchant ser-
vice of France.
A Horse Story.
One of the British horses is a
candidate for the Victoria. ,Cross,
writes a lance -corporal' at the front to
his schoolmaster at Leicester. "It is
a true story of animal devotion," he
adds. "The troops were charging at
the time, and as one ,rider fell from
his horse wounded• the animal picked
him up with. his mouth byhis clothing
and taxied him away to safety."
