GIRLS STUDY FARMING.
They Have Full Use of Every Priv
ilege In the Minnesota College
of Agriculture.

Fifty girls have taken up the study Of
farming this year in the college of ag-
riculture at Minneapolis, says the New
York Sun. They have entered for the
full course, and will work in the same
classes with the men. Heretofore girls
have been allowed to study al the col
lege only six weeks in the year and
that during the summer months, after
the mems classes had dispersed for the
long vacation. This year they are to
have full use of all the college priv
ileges. They have now dormitory Of
their own, and new staff of instruct
ors for special subjects in the girls
department has been added to the fac
ulty. The agricultural course of study
covers a term of three years, and in
cludes every branch of the subject. In
stead of blacksmthing, carpentry and
military drill. which are required of
the men, the girls take laundering,
cooking, sewing, house management
and social and physical culture.

worm,pr MIX for churning.

Al this time OF year il is often diff
cult matter TO churn cream and extract
its Butter fat. Warming the milkto l40
degrees is an effective remedy for this.
1t will also enable the dairyman to get
a greater amount of cream from the
same milk than he otherwise would.
But the milk should not be allowed to
become much warmer than 140 degrees
or il will make the butter soft. As the
warmed milk is cooled pretty much all
the cream will rise at once. 1t should
be skinned before the top hardens into
a crust. as it speedily will When put

had valuable York Imperial apple

were hanging moderately full Of fruit.
The halves were drawn well together

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
omci"l Experiments Have Proved
That Ii Cannot Survive the Proc
ess of Drying Fruits.

The agricultural department has Just
completed a series of experiments
which prove the falsity of the claims
made by several European governments
upon which American fruits have been
excluded from their markets. The cx-
port Of American fruits is very extern
sive, says American Gardening, and
has suffered great loss through the un-
called-for restrictions imposed by va
rious DEGREES which have al one time
or another shut out our fruits from for
eign markets. The last experiment,
which was witnessed by an expert of
the German government, was con-
Quoted for the purpose of determining
whether the San Jose scale, found in
pears, apples and peaches in various
parts of the country, could survive the
process of drying fruits. That 1t does
not survive is abundantly proven. The
effort to shut our fruits out of Eu-
ropean markets began with Germany
in February last, when that govern
ment prohibited all plants, fruits, dried
fruits, parts of plants, and even the
boxes and packing in which they were
shipped, on account of the alleged pres
ence of the San Jose scale. Subse-
quently fruits were relieved from the
embargo subject 10 an inspection by
experts of the government at the port
of entry 1t was claimed by the Ger
man government that the scale got into
the native fruit trees and infected and
killed them. The scale, when it at
tacks trees, will not kill them, but no
case has ever been discovered OF scales
from fruit finding their way to the
trees. This German decree was fol-
lowed by similar ones on the part OF
Austria Hungary and Canada, but drid
fruits were not included. Other Euro
pean governments. Great Britain,
Sweden, Holland and France, took the
matter under advisement, but as yet
have taken no action. Switzerland,
however. late this summer adopted
substantially the original German de-
cree and shut out all of our dried fruits.
Exporters of this product Immediately
appealed to the state department, and
that department acted upon the sug-
gestions of the agricultural depart
ment. representations were made to
the Swiss government of character
deemed sufficient to cause revocation
of the decree, but no action having
been taken, the chief entomologist OF
the department conducted the expert
ments referred to. The experiments OF
the department of agriculture have
extended over period of several weeks
and have been most minute and careful
in the attainment of results. Large
lots OF peaches. pears and apples in
fected with the scale have been tested
by all known methods of commercial
drying, by sun drying, by evaporation,
by the use of sulphur and without,
with the result that each of these proc
esses destroys the life of the scale. In
the experiments made each scale was
carefully watched for several weeks,
and after the fruit had been dried each
and every scale on every piece in the
entire lot was examined. In no in
stance had the scale survived the proc
ess of driving.

STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, Sept. 13.-The recuperation
of the money market by means of severe
liquidation of the last two days was re-
fected i'm a much improved tone III the
stock market. Prices were little inelin-
ed to advance in the early dealings, in
spite of the buoyant tone of Americans
in the London market and the vigorous
strength showIf by a few specialties.
Early loans OH call Were made at Z to
7Ibc.. and a decline in prices set in soon
after the opening, which carried the level
generally below that of last might. The
rate for call loans then fell to 6 per
cent. and after stiffening again spasmo-
ideally eased off in the latter part of the
day to per cent.
About midday there came the am
no1lncement that the Treasury Depart
ment had decided to anticipate by about
ten days in October payments of inter
est ON Government bonds, which will
amount in the aggregate to over 9o,oo0,-
600. The shorts took alarm at the
steady advance which set in and rushed
to cover, bidding UP prices in the closing
dealings by wide advances to the top
level of the day. The closing was very
active and buoyant, and shows net gains
ranging from / to 9 points.
