DANISH GIRLS.

From what ono hears of the Danish
girl, she has oil the privileges open to
one of ourselves. If she wishes to
study at the University, she finds her
self free to take up any branch she may
choose, and medical, mathematical and
scientific honors fall to her share quite
as frequently as to her brothers. As
among us, too, teaching seems to be
the most universal employment for
women who wish to earn their own
living. Yet there are SO many teach
ers md so may daughters of rich
families VINO teach simply as pas
time, with no remuneration, that the
pay is very small and not at all in
proportion to the services they give.
They are well up in the Enalish litera-
ture of the day, distinguish themselves
as artists, authors and musicians,
found schools and asylums for various
charities, and manage them as success
fully as the women in other countries.
Designing and painting pottery,
wood-carYing and burnt woodwork are
among other accomplishments, and
many women have taken up photo
graphy and started out as profession
ais. But, in spite of all their profes-
sional work, DANISH women do not
degenerate in the art Of housekeeping
and good cooking.
Within the past few years they have
becomeinterosted in the outdoor games
so popular in England, and tennis,
golf, cricket and football arc fast
gaining ground. The craze for bicv-
cling seized them some time ago, and
they nre already expert riders, for the
level country iavors this sport. Some

BRAINS REQUIRED IN STOCK nA1stye

BRAINS REQUIRED IN STOCK RAISING.
This season has been one which has
offered little encouragement to beef
producers. Grain has Eeen very CHEAP
and grazing has been abundant. The
cheapness of feed has encouraged
holding the stock for great advantages
In weight. The average stockman
clings to the old theory that benst
for meat should be ripe. The taste of
the people who buy meat, however,
has been changing for years, with the
result that there Is an almost exclusive
demand for the steaks and roasts that
have been grown on tho theory of
early maturity. On the average farm
there is every reason for fatteninp the
cali to n finish by the time it is EIGHT.
cen months to twenty-five months of
age. Usually every pound that is
gained after the calf is twenty months
old costs the feeder fully as much a.,
and often more than, he is able to
realize in selling 1t. Cattle growers
and feeders are living in an age OF
progress, and it is as important that
they use diligcnt thought and studv
as IS the same course desirable in any
other business. A dividend caunot be
