THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH.
This Year II Admits Women to the Glasses
In the Faculty OF Arts.

In the Faculty OF Arts.
Unusual interest attached to the opening OF
the winter session at the University Of Edin-
burgh from the fact that 1t inaugurated q new
system BY which women are admitted to the
classes in the Faculty OF Arts on the same
terms and in the same class rooms with men.
In the University OF Glasgow women are
taught separately from men at st. Marca.et's
university; but Edinburgh has adopted the
holder line. with result that is SO far salts

1t has long been known that the most
perishablc kinds of food can be preserved

of the gathering was to test the palatabil-

years. The turkey was prepared US a

but its meat was utterly tastcless and
void of all the flavor and juices proper
to a well roasted turkey. The fat and
juices had entirely disappeared, leaving
only bone and muscular fiber. The pre-.
vailing impression rs to tho inferiority
of frozen food products was fully borne
out by this interesting experiment. 1t
is known that freezing impairs the fla.

while 1t arrests decomposition it does moi

sUBsoILINc.

In the June report of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture plan for testing
the merits of subsoiling was given, which
was subsequently recommended on this
page as worthy the attention of farmers,
who may in this way determine without
subsoiling a whole field whether it will
be sufficiently profitable to justify tho
additional expense. Briefly stated, the
plan consists in subsoiling narrow strips,
say about two rods in widths, through a
field aud planting tho crop across tho
strips SUBSIDIZED. Then note tho differ
ence in yield caused by the subsoiling.
According to moro recent report tho
theory and practice of subsoiling has
been thoroughly aud practically tcstud ut
Medicine Lodge, Kansas, during tho past
summer by tho United States Govern
mcnt on grounds leased at that place for
experiment purposes. About forty acres
were plowcd aud SUBSIDIZED to depth
of eighteen inches and planted to cane.
Another piece of ground was plowed
the ordinary depth, but not SUBSIDIZED,
and also planted to cane Of the Same
variety. Both fields received the Same
care and cultivation. The grounds which
were SUBSIDIZED yielded about eighteen
tons of cane to tho acre; whilo on the
other ground, simply plowcd, the best
yield was only about ten tons.
Mr.. Mohler, tho Secretary of tho State
Board, recommends that farmers who in
tend to sow alfalfa should 10y all means
subsoil. If the soil is upland it is all
the moro important. This plant sinks
its roots down from five to ten more feet
into the subsoil, provided tho hard and
dry condition of the subsoil allows. 1t
is this deep roofing which enables alfalfa
to endure the severest drough, hot winds
or any other calamitous thing that comes
along. Whom good stand Of this plant
is secured, it will Inst for generation or
more, yielding valuable crops each year.

TIE CHEAPEST FEEDING MATERIALS.

Linseed cake is the staple food with
many farmers. 1t is not improbable that
this article will advance beyond rca
sonablc price, and the farmer should cast
about to see if there is not some food
which can be bought so as to pay him
better. A good linseed cake is the best
food for general purposes, because it
contains fair proportion of the differ
ent forms of feeding matter that ami
mails require; and ore of its great fea-
lures is the oil, substance not strongly
represented in grain and pulse 1t is only
because the feeding constituents are we'll
balanced that it is preferred to other
foods, and if other foods are mixed SO rs
to possess the same properties equally
good results are obtained. The oil is
the chief difficulty, but that may be
easily arranged by buying the linsccd in-
stead of linsced cake, for then the whole
of the oil is obtained. Linsecd contains
about four times us much oil as linseed
cake, so if in making mixture we bear
this point in mind, the most difficult
portion of the problem will be solved.
OF course, the linsccd oil must be
crushed or soaked. To supply the al
buminoid matter which is found in the
cake we have to turn to the pulse crops,
beans. peas, lentils, maize and barley

Examples of Extreme Longevity

Recent articles on "Old People of the
Present Century" lead me to believe that
a chapter en- the old people of the past
century and preceding centuries would
interest readers and lead old people to
hope to live still longer, says writer in
the Philadelphia Press.
Thomas Parr, commonly called "Old"
Parr, was aged one hundred and fifty
two years and some months when he was
presented to King Charles II. in the year
1885. The old man was born in 14S3
aud died (sixteen years after he WAS pre-
sented to the king) at London, Novem-
vember "a, 1851. aged 16S.
About the same time the Countess of
Arundel presented to the queen mid
wife, 1913 years old.
John james died in July, 17o5, in tho
county of Northampton, England, aged
1913.
Francis secardi Hougi, surnamcd
"Huppazoli," died January 81, 1902,
aged 114 years ten months end twelve
days, ut Smyrna, where he was consul
for the Venetians. He was born March
ID, 1857, ut Casal, in the Montscrrat,
where Sixtus V. held the see of Rome.
He wore the cassock in the time of Paul
V. and Urban VII, which he quilted to
marry ut Scio, in the Archipelago, the
daughter of certain nobloinan sur
named Capra. He left behind him forty
nine children by five wives. At one
hundred his white hair appeared black,
his beard and eyebrows were changed to
the same hue ut one hundred and twelve,
and, having lost all of his tceth at 10,
he cas two large ones in his upper jaw
one year before he died.
Matthew Littard, called La Romeo, or
the Brier, died November 10, 1702, at
the village of Vendevilles, in Lorraine,
at lis years of age; he served in the
wars in Italy in the reign of Henry w.
of France.

Rubber Foot Fever.

II man has corn, says the Zndia
Rubber IVorld, it can be removed, but if
he is. suffering from rubber foot fever,
no chiropodist can help him. and the
only thing to prescribe. is liberal bathing
of the feet and removal of the cause.
Rubbcrs should only be worn to keep
wet out, and they should be removed
the moment the wearer gets indoors.
Failure to note this gives man wet feet
in far worse sense than if he had waded
through mud ankle deep. 1t was the
trouble resulting from forcing the pcrs-
piration to soak the stockings and keep
tho feet perpetually damp that drove
rubber soled boots out of the market.
Even loose rubbers are source OF
danger and the cause of many more seri.
Gus colds than they avert.

sTERILIzKp MILK.

Considerable interest is taken in
'sterilized" milk, which means milk
with the germ of bacterial life taken out
of it. This isdone by heating tho milk
to 160 degrees f. 1t is claimed that this
will cause the milk to keep sweet ut
least twenty four hours longer than it
otherwise would. This is ono method
OF preserving milk that apparently has
no harm in it. The English go further,
