> The illustrated papers have made us familiar with the spectacle of women and girls engaged in farming and other war emergency work in England. The phenomenon can, however, bo seen nearer home, says the " New Zealand Herald." A farmer on the St Helier's Bay Boad ; Auckland, has lost the services of his son and a farm hand, both of whom have gone to the front, and has found himself unable to replace them with male labour. His daughter, a- girl of sixteen, has, however, -been equal to the occasion. She has taken in hand the management of her father's plough team, and lately might have been seen driving two horses harnessed to the plough. At the end of the week she had 3i acres of ground turned over, and now she is busy discing the same paddock with a three-horse team". FOR SALE OR TO LET.
