THE girl graduate may be accepted as
positive and demonstrated success.
Her coming to the front in the depart
ments of law, medicine and theology is
only a matter ola little time. Blue Bos-
ton is slightly nauseated over the idea
of her admission to the regular classes in
clinics, but the girls are plucky and
stand upon their rights and will not be
long denied all the means of acquiring
as thorough knowledge of anatomy as
their masculine rivals. The law depart
ment Of Yale seems to take kindly to its
young lady member. Her recent argu-
ment in moot court was most creditably
sustained, end her fellow students were
quite .unstinted in their praises of her
womanliness and her ability. The
needles do hate innovation, and the par
sons were always noted for a rigid
white chekered conservatism. 1t may
be, after all, that it will fall to the lot of
the legal limbs to welcome women with
true heartiness to place in the great
professions which she is destined to
grace at no distant day with her wit,
wisdom and womanliness. The pre-
eminent fitness Of admitting women 10
the medical schools, and thoroughly
training her for a profession so naturally
adapted to her constitutional makeup,
is apparent. Yet, with that strong per-
verseness, which may be called the
irony Of fate. there is not one of the
three, so called, learned professions in
which so strenuous resistance is made
to her advance as in the very one for
which nature has most admirably en-
dowed her.

GRASS FOR PIGS.
Combination and Variety In Feedln:

Eventually Necessary.
Pigs like grass, but they do not like
all kinds equally well, nor will they
thrive the same upon all They have a
preference for the cloycrS, and will

ins pasture for pigs, it is best to give
them a clover pasture. They will eat
the clover with greed, and thrive on it.
1t is highly heterogeneous and muscle
making. but it is not best TO expect the
pics to live exclusively on this kind OF
feed. They need u little food that Is
more carbonaccOus and fat-producing

call it. For this purpose, in connec-

necessary complement Of the clover
tn. fat and Starch-and it is clean,

corn or meal dry. The clover is so
succulcn: ;hat the pigs crave dry food

glass when feeding on dry hay. A
curious experience was that ut the
Kansas agricultural college farm In
turning lot of pigs to grass that had
Ill ,,s,aN afN -fal Ia.
The grass, except quarter of an acre
out OF an acre and half, was orchard.
with slight sprinkling Of clover
The quarter acre was alfalfa. The
latter was foot high, and the orchard
grass little shorter, but of thick and
rank growth, when the pigs were
turned in. They fed grcedily on the
alfalfa, and cropped the clover. but
summed the orchard grass, which was
allowed to 60 down and rot. They
were given no grain feed. What was
the result? They began TO shrink in
flesh, and in twcnty-siN days eight pigs
that weighed l,522 pounds when
turned TO grass had shrunk to 1870
pounds. Then corn was added to their
rations. but they had got such set
back that it took nearly two months to
get them back TO where they were
when first turned out. This is u case
of injudicious feeding, but very IN
structivc. No private individual could
afford TO make such an experiment,
but every one can profit by the lesson
taught. No Que food fed TO any ami
NAL can be expected to produce the
best results. Combination and variety
should be the rule. National Lire

FOR BEE.KEEpERS,
Twelve Proverbs Whose Truth Has neen
Corroborsted by Experience.

Twelve Proverbs Whose Truth Has nsen
Corroborsted by Experience.
I. The ways Of Bookkeeping are no,
all ways Of plcasantness. nor arc all
the paths thereof tho paths of peace
=. Man is to eat his bread in the
sweat of his face. and there is no eX.
ccption made in favor of tho bee-
keeper.
3. To work successfully man must
work wisely. To work wisely with
bees. one must know their nature and
habits; these can be learned only by
careful study and observation.
l. We live in progressive times and
the true bce-kceper must be progress
sive.
8. In Bookkeeping. m in other
things, the diligent are crowned with
success.
G. The obstacles in the way Of sue
cesSful bee culture are ignorance,
carelessncss. being too eager to in
crease the number of colonies aud
cold winters.
Z. A fair knowledge Of bees, faith
ful attention 10 the apiary. aud y
thorough and timely preparation for
the honcy-ilow, swarmlng and winter
ing. will make any man or woman a
successful bcc-kccpcr.
& A tyrannical Pharaoh demanded
of his workers the full tale of bricks,
but furnished them no straw. Do not
demand of your little workers the full
tale in pounds of honey. when there is
none in the fields, or when You reside
in n region poor in honcy-yieldmG
plants.
3, Carefully lay up your honey crop
where thieves especially robbcr bccS)
can not break in and steal. and your
empty c.mbs where moth worms will
not destroy them.
10. Profitable Bookkeeping greatly
depends upon gathering-up of the
fragments. that nothing be lost. Fag-
mcntS of time can be- used IN caring
for bees, fragments of lumber in max
ing hives and frames, fragments OF
combs for wax; and every drop OF
honey is useful; even though mixed
with dirt. it can be fed to needy colo
MES.
II. Some bcc-kcepcrs seek their
profits in raising bees or queens to cell,
but remember that the true aim OF
bookkeeping is to supply the market
with delicious honey.
l.. Live not for self. Make your
knowledge profitable to others seeking
to learn bcc.kccping, that the coming
generation of bcc-kcepcrs may excel
the present, increasing in numbers and
in knowledge, until every pound of
honey srcrctcd by the unuumbercd
flowers of our land is gathered Rec.
