.; In trjiNt to work too nteuyArourrs each
day ; better and more satisfactory results
will follow from 10 hours per day than by
trying to work 12 or 14 hours. I am not
certain but eight hours, when we have -all
things systematically arranged, will be
hotter than the longer day. The hours
cared from physical labor, if devoted to
intellectual, moral and social culture, will
slake as much money, aside from the grander
and nobler aims of life. The question is
worthy of the most careful investigation
of every grange in the State. A good
�� part of each meeting should be devoted
twe`. to developing a method or system of
the work of the house, to Iessen the wor
of the wife, daughter and sister. T
work in the house should not be longer
than on the farm, and as far as possible
the drudgery and unpleasant part of
house -keeping should be overcome by
system, conveniences and labor-saving
devices. Tne grange is the first and
only great order that has recognized the
abilities of women and placed her in all
things on a plane of equality in all re-
spects to men. Our time, thought and
Libor should be equally given to aid her
in making her duties leas arduous . and
_amore cheerful and pleasant, and to sur-
rounding the home with the refining in-
fluences of culture, education, music and
flowers. Then she will ever bless the
day she joined the grange, and her work
and devotion to you and the grange will
add to your prosperity and the happiness
of the entire household. Her earnest
work for the grange will cause it to pros-
per as never before, and will make it a
gear power in the land."

The Great Armies of Europe.
The ablest and most interesting military
writer in the United -States, and one of the
foremost of our time, is Col. Theodore A.
Dodge, U. S. A, retired list. Col. Dodge
spent the winter in Europe, staking a per-
souaI study of all the great armies, and the
results of his observations he contributes in
an interesting article to the July number of
The Forum. More than 18,000,000men
k stand ready for battle in Europe, and the -
he 1 noblest work of the world is perverted to
ignoble uses. Europe, as Col: Dod$e
shows, has never been so perfectly prepared
for wax as now, but he reports that there
has never been a time when soldiers tier*
so loath to fight, and hedoesnot look.for as
early outbreak of hostilities. In reviewing
the several armies of Europe, Col. Dodge
frankly declaree that the English cannot
now claim to be a military power. ; In
fact, England las had no war for nearly
eighty years that is of more importance
than our conflicts with the Indiana in
the West. Incidentally he remarks that
the self -gratulation* of the Loglish about
their army is a curious national trait.
They think, for instance, that the charge
of the Light Brigade at Balaklava was an '
unprecedented feat. The fact is that less'
than 37 per cent. of those that rode "into
the jaws of death" perished, where in our
own Civil War more than sixty regiments
lost in some one engagement more than 50
per cent., and one regiment lost as u3uch
as 82'per cent. On the sea, however, Eng-
land's power is still great.
The greatest danger that Col. Dodge eeee
to the pesos of Europe is in RasMia'a rest-
less pushing across Asia. The Asiatica have
a liking for Russia, whose autocratic gor- -
ernment they understand better than the
government of England. Russia does not
eeek war, but she will not rest from her sly
encroaehments eastward, and this may pre-
cipitate a general conflict. The Russian
n army, by the way, is one of the best its
d Europe in a great many respects.
d 1 Col. Dodge devotes much mace to a de-
tailed comparison of the French army -with
the German army,with much praise for
both, but with a tendency to give the snow
complimentary word to the Germane. He
d declares, however, that tho French army
t . waa never in such good condition as ricer,
and that under Napoleon it was at. no time
d as thoroeghly sound.
One treacherous factor in the whole pro-
blem is -the absence of any great command-
ing military mind Such as there Wein in.
Europe, of course, before Von Molds) died;
for is modern warfaromore than at any tints
in the peat is_ the ability of great inrlitary,,
genius the decisive factor.. Col. Dodge
declaree that Germany is hampered by the
less or the shelving of her great men, and.
she doee not know when the Kaiser may

openly spoken of, everywhere .in Gerartanya-

Making Pork Cheaply.
An instance of successful feeding at the
Minnesota experimental station is given as
follows : Pifty-four pigs were farrowed on
the 15th of April. Ae soon as large enough
they were turned with the sows in an 80 -
acre lot, where theta were temporary sheds
for shelter. Here they were fed liberally
with screenings, sometimes' cooked, and
when not cooked well soaked and fed sweet,
and in September a little green corn. W he
weighed at 2O months old the pigs weighs
41 pounds, and had cost. (including fee
for sows) 50 cents per head, $1.25 per 100
psuade: The screenings cost 30 cents
per hundredweight. During October
,hey were fed ecru on the cob and
slops made from screenings areal, an
after that until January 25th nothing bu
corn on the cob and cold water. From
thea until March 14th, when they were to
shelled corn, either boiled or soaked. Up
4 to December `25th the total cost of feed had
been $147.68, and the pigs then weighed
11,360 pounds, and had coat (for feed) $1.30
per 100 pounds, and at that time could have
been sold at 3i cents, or ata total profit of
P249.92. Up to January filth the feed bad
coat V204, and the total weight was 13,350
Rends, having then cost $1.53 per 100
pounds, and could then have been sold at 31
cents, giving a total profit of $230. Upon
March 14th, the cost had been $`280.40, and
and the total weight was 15,820 the.

The price at which a farm will self for

The Foremost Living English Novelist.
Mr. William Sharp, the English author
and critic, Who recently made a visit to
the States, has written . a personal and
critical article about Thomas Hardy and
his novels for July Forum, in which an in-
teresting picture is drawn of the foremost
living English master of fiction. "NO one
can approach English fiction critically,.'.'
says Mr. Sharp, "and fail to perceive Oro
Thomas Hardy is, at his best, one of the
moat remarkable novelists whorls England
has produced." Then follows this picture
of his home : •
"Mr. Hardy resides in the heart of the
'fie-countied Wessex.' Hie `home is a large
red brick house built after his.own designs,
situated on the rise of a long upland sweep`
to the eastward of Doreester. A vast 'pens
apective is before one from almost any of
the windows of the house,rolling downs,
acres of arable land and 'pastures, upland
ranges, and dark belts of woodland with,
vaileywaril, the white gleam".of;the�Proew
meandering among the dairy lands: :and
through and past ancient-Dorcester."
And the following estimate of the larger
significance of his work. is given
"But Hardy brings home to the reader
a sense of profound sadness. Without ever
unduly obtruding' himself as the -theologian -
.or the philosopher, he touches the deepest
chords of spiritual life, and having wreugbt
hie subtle music therefroni?os arms_ a,,tiray
with';a loving'sorrowful regce' at all the.

would be misleading, because., inadequate
He does not preach pesaiiaisar; for'h hoe
