The College Girls way.

The destruction of Calculus, as every
college man knows, is an important event
in his sophomore year. At Vassar, how
ever, the Objectionable classic is neither
burned nor buried by the young woman
students. After the January examinations
of the sopholnores, which finishes trigo-
nometry, it is optional whether mathe-
matics be further pursued, the teachers
urging, while the girls usually object A
Jubilee always follows the ''trig" finish,
which is often play bearing humorously
on the mooted question. This year it took
the form Of a mock trial in which Mr..
Victor Chormall, '94, was sued by Miss
Ella MeutsoT Trigenometre for breach of
promise. The judge and jury were clever
makeups and impersonators Of the teach
ers, and the lawyers were bristling with
college hits and gibes at the poor fresh
men. 1t is needless to add the fair claim
ant got no verdict.-New York Times

onnoslng a Sic for a House.

There are no definite rules that viii al
ways apply to the selection Of site for a
house. Usually it should not be placed eX-
actly in the middle Of place or close to
the 'front.' and it should associate itself in
some way with some considerable planta-
tion of trees that may already exist.
I am speaking of considerations that
must be met in systematic way, and
more or less in accordance with the best
practice of the art of landscape gardening.
But avoid being too OconventiOnally artistic.
Use common sense, and first Of all make
YOUR grounds comfortable and convenient;
then do what you can for the aesthetic.
The latter may, in your opinion, be of the
most Importance, but the former, be sure,
will sooner or later revenge itself on you
for any undue neglect.
I am speaking now Of all country places,
meaning thereby a lot that may be only %
feet by 100 feet, or may be five or six acres.
In any case you are devising picture
when you undertake to lay out your
grounds, even in the most simple fashion;
and any arrangement that will develop
and present with the best effect the most
artistically valuable features should be
invariably chosen, though at first it may
seem odd, and not in accordance with your
conventional ideas of landscape gardening
art. Any evident attempt at mere oddity
is of course bad and destructive of the
harmony of the general arrangement, but
there may be an unusualness of treatment
| that seems odd, though in reality effective
and harmonious, simply because it is un-
cOnventional-Scrib

Doings at the Experiment stations.

DOnmES
A trial of silage made from apple
pomace as food for pigs resulted IN
satisfactorily Mt the Illinois station. The
pomace kept well and chemical analysis
Of it showed an apparently good com
position for feeding purposes, but the
pigs ate very little Of it.
At the Georgia station nitrogen was
found to be the most effective element
in fertilizers on oats; cotton seed meal
was the only substance that paid a good
profit The Fultz made the largest
Yield of any wheat grown, though the
Walker, which is a week earlier, is con-
sidered the most trustworthy, one year
with another.
At the Illinois station two trials were
made, in each of which two pigs were
fed soaked corn and two others dry
corn, with no other feed. The pigs fed
soaked corn ate more and gained more
than those fed dry corn. In one trial
they gained more and in one less in pro-
portion to food eaten than those fed dry
corn. The differences were not great in
either case
The first of series Of experiments
with rye grown for green forage in the
winter has been reported from the
Florida station. The rye was planted
broadcast and in drills on three plots on
poor, sandy soil, fertilized with manure
and commercial fertilizers. On one plot
the crop was cut for fodder and on
another seven cattle and two colts were
,ast,,rad considerable amount of
green forage was easily and cheaply
produced during the winter and early
spring.

drv farm and household conveniences.
In the accompanying illustration is
shown a wheel dibber, which Farm and
Fireside tells can be made easily and
cheaply. Here are the directions:
Get a piece Of maple, oak or other
hard wood log, say fifteen inches In diam
eter by a foot long. Have it turned
nicely and hole bored through for
bolt to serve as an axle. Handles are to
be attached in the way shown in the IL
lustration. It is then a roller, and may
be used for that purpose in the garden.
following after the seed sower or in any
place where the use of a small roller is
desirable. Inch holes are bored in a
circle around the roller, midway be-
tween the two ends, four inches apart.
and short wooden pegs or pins are in
serted to act as dibbers. The weight Of
the roller presses each peg clear down
into the soil and thus holes just right for
the young onion plants are made as fast
as a person can walk. For lettuce, eel
cry, cabbage or other plants some Of
these pegs or pins may be left out or re-
moved, and holes may thus be opened
eight or twelve inches apart. Of course
the size of the roller should be such that
the circumference is exactly three or
four feet, otherwise the pegs must be
inserted nearer together or farther apart,
so that their number will be diyisible by
twelve.

MANAoEMENT oF TuRkEYs.

rssze-.l rem ents slf These Fowls Which Often
Prove Troubiesome and Unprohtable-
Turkeys require a large range, and ex-
cept on large farms, or at least sufficient
" so that they can be kept from tres
passing on the premises Of neighbors'
raising turkeys is likely to he trouble
some in many ways besides being IN
profitable. A naturally dry and rather
sandy soil is the best for turkeys, as it
is for raising other fowls, for nothing
occasions more loss in young chicks Of
all kinds than wading around in mud
and wet grass. There is one thing that
can be said in favor of raising turkeys
that cannot be said Of chickens, which
is that they can be more easily driven
where one wants them to go, so that a
child can watch turkey hen when sile
is let ont with her brood, and can keep
them from strayiHg too far and drive
them home under shelter when storm
is coming up.
Turkeys are very partial to choosing
their own nests in the open field, and
where one succeeds in setting on her
stolen nest she should be brought in and
cooped for some weeks as soon as the
chicks are hatchel, leaving the chicks
to run out It is. however, better to in
duce her to set somewhere under shelter
when it can be doae By putting the
hen turkeys few days before they be
gin to lay in Il large inclosure where
they can make nests a little hidden from
observation they can afterward be allow
ed to run out, and will return and hatch
where their broods can have better pro
lection than in the open field. Turkeys
do not like to be disturbed when on their
nests nor watched while going to them.
The young ones are very tender, and for
a few weeks after Matching require even
more care in keeping them out Of the
wet than chickens do. When from SIX
to eight weeks old they become quite
hardy and can have full liberty, but up
to that time the mother turkey should be
confined in a large coop, and when left
to run ont for a short time, should be
carefully watched to prevent her wan
dering off with her brood into the tail
grass. Turkeys can be Matched and
raised by hens, but turkey under
stands the way of the young ones and
makes u better mother for them.

The feats performed by animals in find
ing their way hsane over territory that
they could not by any possibility have
traversed are sometimes almost incredible.
About three months ago and Of mine
received as a present aRsiehble pointer
dog. The man who raised the dog lives IN
southwest Missouri, about 200 miles from
this city, and the dog came BY train IN the
baggage car and was brought to his house
near the center Of the city in a covered ex-
press wagon. The animal was then chained
up ia the cellar till it was supposed be had
become accustomed to his surroundings.
The dog never seemed satisfied, moped
about the house for two or three weeks
and then disappeared. 1t was supposed
that he had been stolen, and after search
had been made and reward offered, with
out result, the hunt for the dog was given
up as hopeless
About month after the dog was missed
my friend received a letter from the man
who gave him the dog saying that Cato
had come back home, dirty, half starved
worn. ont, and with every indication OF hav-
inR made a long and severe journey Of
course ne was allowed to remain. a dog
that could find his way home from dis
tance OF 200 miles was worth keeping, but
how the thing could be done is marvellous
