THE WOMANIY GIRL.
Why She Enjoys the Genuine Respect o
Every Body.

Every Body.
In the hurry and artificial life of this
nineteenth century there is yet cause
for hope in the genuine respect shown
even by Doors to the wOmanly girl.
Whatever stands in the way of girl at
tanning to the highest goal, that of
Christian womanhood, becomes in COM
pariSon as mere chat. The girl who
gives up her love of home and sncers at
the cares of house in order to pursue
what she deems a higher education"
has sold her birthright for mess of
pottage. She has measured her acquire
ments by the wavering values of this
world. Only when woman is gentle
and wise enough to attain to high in
tellcctual powers, and use them, not as
coarse women do, for their own aggran-
dizement, but as a means to minister
help and hope to others. has she learned
the use of her power. Intellectual
training is like physical training
means by which woman may
receive more power for her
work, in her home or in any field out
side to which she is called: it is no
more. Without it she may be a weak
hand where she might have been
strong one, just as woman who is Grip
pied is unable to accomplish as much
good as one who is robust and strong.
Yet the woman who devotes herself to
intellectual pursuits merely for her own
glory is not less silly or cumbersome to
the earth than she who devoteS her en-
tire time to personal adornment from
motives of vanity. Both fail to attain
even the admiration of the world. The
woman who has attained to intellectual
heights and has not been gentle and
wise enough 10 use the tongues of
learning to speak word in season to
him who is a-weary''-her mission has
passed her by. She has lost the sweet
est pleasure of true woman, that of
ministering to and helping those who
else were helpless and hopeless. In
stead of living in the broad sunshine of
Christian life She is imprisoned in the
narrow cell of her own selfishness.-N

PERSIAN MENOACITY.

FODDER FOR HORSES.
An Undue Prejudice Against It-A Horse
mans Views.


mans Views.
There seems to be quite difference
of opinion among horsemen as to the
value of corn fodder as food for horses.
A leading farm paper recently cautioned
its readers against feeding horses on
corn-stalks, stating that they would
make the horses coats rough. Mr.. c.
w. Williams. the breeder and trainer OF
Axtell, says that his wonderful colt had
little besides corn-stalks for rough fod-
der during nearly two winters. He says
he considers corn-stalks the best rough
fodder he can get for colts. The writer
once worked for farmer who never cut
any hay. His cattle and horses never
had any fodder but cured corn-stalks.
The animals always looked we'll and the
horses did their full share of work.
The writer now has two horses that
have very little to do and are not heavily
fed.
One of them prefers corn-Stalks to hay,
while the other runs down if fed on
stalks without hay. 1t is an old horse
and can not handle the stalks as we'll as
a younger horse would. We find that
this prejudice against corn-stalks for
horses is quite common among class
of farmers. Except in the case of old
horses with poor teeth we do not think
the prejudice is just. In fact it seems
reasonable that u moderate supply of
well-cured stalks will prove beneficial
to horse in winter, and even with old
horses if the stalks could be cut and
moistened with hot water they would
prove valuable. A good deal of the OBJ
lection to stalks for horses may be traced
to the fact that the grain of he corn is
fed with the stalks. This makes an ill
balanced" ration. When stalks are fed
give oats and wheat-bran.
