Women In Farm Work.

Almost 1,000,000 women in the United States are either farmers or farm laborers. Thanks to the popularity of the homestead in the west and to a belated appreciation of agriculture as a field for woman’s industry, this number is rapidly increasing. The United States, however, has not gone so far in this respect as England. There, in the dairy sections, women have eritire control of the herds, not only the butter making, but the milking and feeding. In France nearly 3,000,000 women are engaged in farm work, while in hiost of the countries of continental Europe the finer breeds of cattle are mainly, the result of woman's efforts.—New Idea Woman’s Magazine.
