Six Girls Ride Sixty Years Ago.

In 1916, sixty-four years ago, six lit.
tie women of Waterford, VT, rode on
the same horse and at the same time,
some miles over the Waterford hills.
Their names and ages were as follows:
Lois Rowell, twelve; Nellie Caswell
and Rhoda Pike, eleven; Polly Caswell.
and Lois Pike, eight; and Anna Caswell
four. Lois Rowell sat on the saddle
and held the reins and small Anna Cas-
well and the other four misses rode be-
hind her. They had nice time which
they all remember, for they are all still
living. Lois Rowell, now Mrs. Chas.
s. Gregory, lives with her son-in-law,
Caswell. on a beautiful farm on the west
bank of the Connecticut in Concord,
VT. She has been totally blind some
five years, but is intelligent, cheerful
and social. Nc lie Caswell is now Mrs.
Giles Jones, OF Victory. Vt. Rhoda
Pike is Mrs. Nelson Millen, Polly Cas-
well, now Mrs. Horace Buck and Lois
Pike, Mrs. Jefferson Hosmer, live in
Littleton, N. H., and Anna Caswell,
Mrs. Wilson Buck, in Charleston, VT.
They are all now widows except Mrs.
Millen, and Mr.. Millen is her second
husband. Who knows of six other
women who together enjoyed a lark
sixty-four years ago that has been
pleasant memory to them from that
time to this Boston Journal. "a.

Helpless Girls.

Our most helpless girls belong not to
the highest or lowest but to the middle
class. Mulberry Street brings out girls
who can wash, cook, walk ten miles and
swim. Fifth Avenue produces girls
who can row, swim, ride, shoot with
bow or rifle and even cook. But be-
of girls who, apart from dressing,
piano-playing and making the most of
their good looks, can do nothing, or
next to it. Put them in boat, they are
helpless. Put them in the water, they
founder and sink. Put them on horse,
they fall off. Put them on their feet,
they can't walk a mile unless :" out
shopping" Put bow in their hands,
they are cowlike in awkwardness. Put
them on vessel, it is with difficulty
they tell whether the bow or stern goes
first. Apart from dancing or music, in
which they are proficient, they are pro-
foundly ignorant of all really good en-
ployment or recreation. They pad,
they powder, they dye their hair, they
bisect themselves with corsets, they
grow up fat and fiabby; there is little
elasticity in their muscles and less in
their minds; their talk runs to common
place, or if excited to a series of exple-
tives and intersections, deemed pretty
in girl when the bloom is on her
cheek and ridiculous in an old maid
when the bloom is of. Turn them
adrift on the world, deprive them of
their natural supporters and they sink
at once. They have little physical or
moral strength, little independence, lit
tie real pride of character. They are
willing and anxious to be, married and
supported. These are to be the moth
ers of the majority Of the coming men.

Feeding for Pork.

One of the mistaken policies of stock
feeding, especially hogs, is to feed them
upon some one unchanged diet. As the
matter of feeding is made scientific
study, the idea of an exclusive corn diet
is being abandoned, the results pointing
Enthusiastically to the fact that it is un-
healthy; and, if so, it cannot be classed
as profitable, and our veterinary authors
are now claiming that hog cholera. that
scourge of hog breeders, had its origin
in districts where corn was fed to the
exclusion of all other diets, and if the
system is persisted in it will be noticed
that representatives., either of the farm
ers own invention or an advertised nos
trum, are demanded, which the hog, to
satisfy some craving that the one diet
does not supply, devours with Unsuitable
greed.
Upon this subject the Western Rural
says that corn is principally carbon
aceous, hence exclusively fat forming,
and to keep up healthy and growing
state, the hog must have mixed food,
such food as will develop all parts of
the system, and for this purpose the
turnip is very valuable as diuretic,
and with the more heterogeneous foods,
such as wheat middlings, etc., the
growth will be continuous and the fat
tening process will be thus extended,
and while health win be promoted,
there viii be far less complaint among
stock feeders that the hogs are not fat
tening, and that the feeding to await
favorable stage of the market is one
