Laws Of 1897 increased salary 500 per
year. which is about offset by doing away
with expense OF examining board and the
collection of about $50 per year in exam
nation fees. Two organizations, the
School Officers Association and Teach
ers' Reading Circle, created and main
tanned during the last year has increased
the duties of this office. as well as etfic-

how this Office has been conducted. Ex-

On February II, 1898. the county went
from general fund warrant issue to the
current expense fund issue. Warrants
formerly drawn on the salary and gen
eral funds were now drawn against the
current expense fund. Under the change
all taxes levied prior to 1897 go to pay of
btedness against the county general
expense fund. The law of 1897 leaves the
taxes collected since that time to 60 to
current expense fund. and the unpaid
taxes previous TO that time as fast as col
lected go to lquidate old warrants.

quantity of water could be introduced.
In this field large space, where there
were fig trees, was inclosed by wire
netting. Then he procured from
nests the young egrets. In 1896, by
increase, his heronry contained about
400 egrets. The females lay eggs
twice year, in April and June; and
the young, leaving the nest after fif-
teen days, mate the same year.
These birds he feeds on minced

May and September, but it is not un-
til the bird is three years old that the

adult bird furnishes seven grams Of
these per year-that is, about los

The Girl In q New Role.

From time immemorial women have,
to greater or less extent, been en-
ployed in the fields, but never up to
this time, we believe, has any direct
effort been made to educate them in
the higher lines Of agriculture.
1t is very much to the credit of
Minnesota that she has established
schools with this sole purpose in view.
One of these has just been opened, in
which sixty pupils can be accommo-
dated, and in which they will enjoy
the highest privileges and academic
honors.
Women, as far as they have been
permitted, have developed splendid
capacity to prepare and survey land
and carry on fruit and other staple
culture and develop the soil in every
line suggested by science. They
make the best of gardeners, are good
architects and are in many instances

The Bustle q Reality.

We are to have the hustle again.
There is no doubt about it. All you
have to do to be sue is to go to the
dressmaker who best knows the styles
and she will tell you that the newest
costumes all have that idea in view.
The hustle in its present form is
bound to be popular, for it is far from
being the monstrosity of few year
ago. Neat and graceful, it is just large
enough to round up the hips and give
stylish set to the skirt and prevent
its sagging.
The modern idea is to use the bus
tie in the only sensible way-that is,
to suit the individual. Bustles are
being made in great variety, both long
and short, and some much fuller than
others. The style most in vogue is
moderately long, and has hip extern
sions which will suit The woman who
is tall and not too full of outlines. A
pad of some sort is essential in order
to be fashionable.-New York Herald.

The value of rape is becoming bet
ter known every year. An authority
states that one acre in rape, for hogs,
is equal to about forty-six bushels OF
grain. 1t is relished by sheep, and
poultrymen who have large focks are
becoming interested in it, as it is an
excellent source for providing green
food.
A well-known successful farmer,
who is very much interested in good
hogs, says: "My pigs consume the
skim milk from my Jersey herd. This,
with middlings and ground barley,
makes more muscle than corn does.
and there is none OF that heating 80

and which in order to make them sala-

than better bred animals will, and
which make such very unsatisfactory
return for what they eat as compared
with what the better class will realize.
Dehorning cattle is now practiced
extensively, but there is right time
for SO doing. The horns should never
be removed when flies and insects are
troublesome, and the instrument
should be scrupulously clean. Late
, in the fall is an excellent time for the
operation, and it is better to expert
ment with few instead of dehornine
the entire herd. Novices can have thu
operation performed by veterinary
surgeon, if preferred.

Woman's Hair.

It is now said that women's hair is
becoming more beautiful in color every
year, and is also growing thicker and
longer. This is said to be due to the
small light bonnets that women wear.
Certain it is that air and sunshine i'm
prove the color and texture of the hair.
Sun bleaches the hair, and Venetian
beauties always dried their ruddy locks
in the sun, thereby getting that tint
80 much admired called Venetian red.
OF course, sunshine will not bleach
dark hair, but it gives q deeper color
to all kinds of tresses and will brighten
dull-brown hair. .--.-,e---+-
