BAIRD FEMALE COLLEGE
To be Founded at Clinton, Mo.-Will
Open September, 1885.

The following from the St. Louis
Republican gives some idea of the
college to be founded at Clinton,
Mo-, at once:
Clinton citizens are very iubilant
over the fact that they have to-day
completed arrangements whereby
they have secured the establishment
of a first class female college, which
will be under the management of
Prof. 81. T. Baird and wife, now of
Hardin College, Mexico, Mo-, who
for the past six years have had
charge of that institution. To-day
handsome grounds were purchased,
and the cantract signed. The col
lege will be located on rising grounds
in the southern part of the city,
with the land sloping gently in all
directions, and will command a fine
view of the city and surrounding
country for twenty-five miles, and as
beautiful as can be found.
The building is to be composed of
brick, three stories high with all
modern appliances, to be lighted by
gas and heated by steam or hot-wa-
ter pipes. The plan and speciica-
tions will be made by one of St.
Louis best architects.
The grounds and building when
completed and furnished will cost
$4,000. The building will be put
under contract at an early day under
guaranty for completion and ready
for school to open by the middle Of
September.
Among those contributing to the
success of the enterprise are Hon.
H. W. Salmon, DIR. G. G.. Salmon,
Judge CAN'T, W. D. Tyler, Senator
Britts, Judge A.. C. Avery, j. M.
Avery, Judge R. C. McBeth, Col.
W. H. Mclean, VIM. II. Cook, A.
R. Wilder, Z. Fl. Snyder, S. E.
cheek and many others. It will be
incorporated under the name OF
Baird female college. The past re.
markable success of Prof. Baird and
wife has made them a reputation moi
confined to Missouri, but throughout
the West, and the success of the col
lege which bears their name is as
sured from its beginning.
The people of Clinton are to bt
congratulated not only on account Of
securing such a fine building but OF
securing the Bairds to manage it
The college will he called the ''Bairt
Female College," the founders know
ing that Mr.. and Mrs. Baird are 81
well known that this will be q gooi
drawing card. The Bairds are pc
culIarly adapted for school work
H.. 7. Baird can not be surpassed a
a financier and business manager, ant
as a canvasser for a college we dom
think he has an equal. Mrs. Bairt
has fine executive ability and hold
the love and respect Of her pupils
Her home department cannot b
equalled in any particular anywhere
! Miss Itonia is not only one of the yer,
best of music teachers, both voca
and instrumental, but she IS a thsr
ough teacher of the modern Ian
guages. Mrs. True has charge O
the art department. to which she i
devoted, and her work and her sue
cess as a teacher speak for them
selves.
With this management. assisted a
they will be by the best talent the
can secure, the success of Baird F.
male College is assured. Col. Tay
Tor, a leading architect of st. Louis
was in Mexico this week consuItin
with MI. Baird about the plans an
assures him the building will pos
lively be ready for the opening i

We think the Executive Commit
tee of the Missouri Press Association
made a big mistake in mixing its

small to furnish the visitors with

the people of Columbia are a noble
generous people and will extend
every courtesy in their power, but
we think it will be taxing their hos

cises at the same time. The Univer-
sity exercises will have to 60 on, but
the convention date can be changed
and should be to some other time

In Letters of Gold.

In a new play by Alexander Dumas,
called "Denise, one of the characters
enunciates the following sentiment,
which should be written in letters OF
gold; "Do you want to know what is
absolute trulh2 1t is to respect the first
woman you have known and loved-your
molher--in all the other women you may
meet hereafter. 1t is not to make them
fall if they stand high-not to drag them
lower if they are debased already; it is
to associate yourself for life with only
one woman, your wife, and to have but
one motive in marriage This is
truth All that borrows the name and
is not This, has been invented to suit a
society WHICH is at once elegant and dis
solute. "--DemOreSt.

The amount Of nitrogen supplied in ma
nure is very much in excess of the
amount recovered in the increase of the
crop.
1t is the general opinion among poul-
try men that very fat fowls do not lay
well. Hence excessive feeding is con,
demned.
To make economical pork the pig
should be kept in a continuously grow
ing condition from the day of his birth
until he is delivered into the hands of
the butcher.
Do not plant trees in the garden
They will not only shade the gSwing
crops to their detrimcnt but what is
worse, will secure their own nourish-
ment at the expense of the garden, rob
bling the vegetables and plants of the
elements of fertility.
When potatoes are fed to COWS they
ought to be given in connection with
other feed. The average ration of po-
tatoeS ought not to be more than one
fourth to one-third of the entire feed.
Raw potatoes ought to be cut in slices,
and boiled potatoes ought to be
crushed.
In planting young trees an Indian far
mer mixes the soil that he intends to fill
around the tree with one bushel or more
of fine chip drt. This is rich and slim
ulating, and holds moisture well. In
the fall he usually scrapes the tree trunks
and washes them off with whale oil soap
and water.

them around on the floor. The fine
dust that flies about and settles on every
exposed surface will do no harm. and
that which falls on the floors and under
the roosts will act as a disinfectant and
deodorizer.
Where hogs cannot be allowed to run
at large, as is the case on many farms,
+. ID. Curtis, an excellent authority,
favors the planting of artichokes and
sweet corn, or the sowing of oats, rye
alfalfa, the object to secure more green
food than is given in the common way
OF raising hogs,
Horses troubled with heaves should be
fed little dry food. Glover hay is es-
pecially Objectionable, not only from the
dust with which it is filled from imper-
feet curing, but also because horses like
this hay so much that they gorge them
selves with it. Cut straw, well mols-
tened and sprinkled with meal, will
make a feed that will restore horse not
too far gone with heaves to activity and
usefulness.
A line of any kind of trees along a
fence Will injure the crop for some dis
lance inland. Some trees are worse than
others, the hickory and butternut being
such gross feeders that they are said to
poison the land which they cover. In
most cases their bad effects are seen
much further than the dropping OF their
leaves can reach, and especially with po-
tatoes or other root crops, which need all
the moisture the soil can furnish.
A few fresh bones finely crushed are
excellent to make hens lay Partially
burning them will enable any one to
pound them in small pieces with little

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Handling Milk.

Col. T. d. Curtis read a paper before
the Mississippi Valley Dairy and Cream
cry Association at st. Louis, in which
occurs the following passages
"Good mixers and the proper hand
ling of milk are essential. 1t is quite a
knack to milk a COW properly. The op.
Grafton should be performed regularly
and in an orderly manner, without noise,
and without excitement. Grasp the teat
so as to have, as it were, a handful of
milk in it, closing the forefnger and
thumb above, so as to prevent the milk
from moving upward into the cavity.
Then close the hand gently but firmly,
the upper fingers closing each little
ahead of the one next below, the whole
operation being performed, as it were,
simultaneously. Do not dig the nails or
ends of the fingers into the skin, so as to
hurt the COW, but continue to open and
shut the hand as indicated, with a slight
downward pull and each time slipping
the hand up so as to grasp little of the
udder and crowd the milk down into
the teat, as the thumb and finger close pre-
paratory to the final grip. The operation
is much easier to perform by one who
knows how than it is to describe, but
one quite easy to learn by one who wants
to learn it.
"The operation should be performed
in clearly manner, in a Clearly place,
keeping all dirt out of the pail, and all
bad odors out of the air by the removal
of the droppings, and the free use of
deodorizers.
eff set for butter, the milk should be
put to rest as soon as possible, as agita-
ton hinders the separation of the cream
from the milk. 1t should be set as
warm as possible from the COW, as the
more the temperature is lowered before
setting, the more imperfect will be the
separation of the cream from the milk.
If the milk is carried to factory, or
the lowering of the temperature to any
great extent is unavoidable, some ap-
paratus for raising the temperature to
100 should be provided. This will OBJ
viate the loss by lowering of tempera-
ture. The reason for this is, that cream
rises best with falling temperature, and
the farther the temperature has to fall,
the better the separation. But in no
case would / allow the temperature to
go below 40 9, for another law here sets
in which makes farther fall
OF temperature detrimental to
the raising of cream-that is, the law
of expansion, which affects the watery
portion that has been contracting down
to about forty degrees. Lower tempera-
ture. | think, Injuries the keeping quality
of the product; but this is disputed by
some.
cit is essential that milk should be set
in clean atmosphere, especially with

difficulty. They contain lime in much
better condition Tor making the shells Of
eggs than it can be got in oyster shells,
which are frequently recommended. AS
proof of the want which bones supply,
laying hens will eat them far more
greedily than fowls which do not lay.
Smearing the shells with linseed oil is
reported to be a good way to preserve
eggs. Rub the oil over the egg with the
tip of the finger aud suffer it to become
dry on the she'll Eggs rubbed over
with flaxseed oil in three months lost
four per cent, and in six months four
and half per cent. of their weight, and
when opened were found to be fresh,
with the smell of fresh eggs. Eggs not
so treated lost eleven per cent. of their
weight in three months, and in six months
thirteen per cent.
There is no such disease as hollow
horn. When cattle are sick their horns
are apt to be cold, but we must look else
where than to the horn for the disease
Indigestion is quite apt TO be the cause
and this is often accompanied with loss
of appetite indicated by a refusal to
chew the cud. 1t is popular mistake
to suppose that the cud has been lost
and must be replaced. We might as
we'll talk of putting an appetite into a
dyspeptic man. Exercise and careful
feeding will bring cattle around all right,
sMd men also, for that matter.
The lime process OF keeping eggs is
to take one pint of salt and one quart of
fresh lime, and Stake with hot water.
When slaked, add sufficient water to
make four gallons. When we'll settled
pour off the liquid gently into stone
Jar. Then with dish place the eggs
in, tipping the dish after it fills with
the liquid, so they will roll out without
cracking the shell, for if the shell is
cracked the egg will spoil. Put the
eggs in whenever you have them fresh.
Keep them covered in a cool place and
they will keep fresh for one year.
The plan of keeping cows continuous
ly in milk without allowing them to have
a calf is practicable, but not to be gen
orally commended There is not only a
decrease in yield in cows so kept, but
the milk is less digestible. 1t is nearly
or quite as much labor to milk farrow
COW as one giving fresh flow of milk
The COW, if well fed, may be MIXED
until six or eight weeks of the time for
calving, or even up to it if necessary,
but it is better to allow several weeks
for the COW to get into condition for
producing a large flow of milk when she
calves.
