WOMEN FARMERS.
They Must Ho l'riictlciil and Self-Sun-tulnlng.
"There Is no reason in the world why
n woman should not run a farm success
fully, and no reason why she should
hesltntc to undertake agricultural pur
suits," said u veteran farmer, who was
noted for keeping abreast of the times.
"In the course of my life I have known
half a. dozen women who were left with
farms on their hands, and who finished
paying for them, put up buildings and
handled their varied interests admira
bly. In later jyear.s 1 have known u
number who bought farms just as men
would have done, and who have laid tip
money, some of them n considerable
amount.
"But the woman farmer, to be suc
cessful, needs to do two or three things.
First of all, she must be practical, and
must be thoughtfully slow in accepting
the advice of people who want her to
try new things too extensively. Women
are a wee bit. inclined to be progressive,
and many of them are rather more ad
venturous than men. To yield to this
impulse is the first step towards fail
ure. Conservatism is a most excellent
sheet anchor, and is a faculty that all
women and a great many men would do
well to cultivate.
"The help question is, of course, one
of the greatest points to be looked after.
In emergencies the man can himself
turn in and fill gaps, but the woman can
not always do this; therefore it is nec
essary for her to look ahead and man
age her affairs with prudence, in order
not to be caught and involved in disas
ter. "There are many men who will not
work well with what they call a 'woman
boss.' They seem to feel thnt there is
something wrong in taking orders from
femininity, and are often so disagreea
ble that the only way to get along with
them is to give them their way iiHinueli
ns possible. This is always a mistake,
as such men grow worse with time, and
soon becoine domineering. If the man
will not take orders from the proprietor
of the establishment, the only thing is
to get rid of him forthwith. He demor
alizes all the other help and has a bad
influence in the neighborhood.
"Women may very successfully con
duct farms if they turn their attention
to grass and fruit. The raising of
flowers and poultry are occupations es
pecially appropriate 'for women, and,
with good markets, are exceedingly
profitable if well managed.
"There is no reason why n womnn
should not be just as efficient in a green
house or a poultry-yard as a man. In
deed, her habits of carefulness and dis
position to look after little things are
never better placed than in such pur
suits." N. Y. Ledger.
