Education In France.

Tn France there are now slXty-elght
lyceums and colleges for girls, where
as, previous to 1880, with the eXcep-
tion of private schools, there were no
institutions for higher education for
girls. OF the sixty-eight mentioned
forty-eight are lyceums supported by
municipalities and twenty-eight mu-
nicipal colleges. The lyceum for girls
in Tunis is included. The teachers for
this institution. are trained in the high
er normal schools at Sevres.
During last y,ar there were in the
lyceums Si3t and in the colleges 1868
pupils. In many provinces boarders
are taken, and all the lyceums take
day boarders. Those who board out
of the school are under supervision.
Some live with their parents, others
AT the houses of teachers, or In board
ing houses recommended by the instl-
tutions or under their supervision. But
many more girls received their higher
education in converts than in the
schools mentioned, the former being
regarded as much more CONNIE il faut.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Adap, thu Crop to the Soil.

Alva Ager writes TO the National
Stockman that last year he regretted
not having plowcd up one acre of
wheat and planted II TO potatoes. The
soil was too rich for the wheat, which
lodged before heads filed, and de.
stroyed the clover seeded with II. His
reason for not doing so was that he did
not want to cut off one ncre for DIFF
fcrent crop from the rest of the feld.
Result. no returns for the labor done
or seed sown. Last fall he sowed IT to
rye, and last spring planted II to pota'

Good Butter.

1t seems hard for some farmers TO
realize the fact that in the making of
n first-class article of butter the be-
ginning Is in the stable. Accumula.
tions of filth in the stables, moldiness
in the food or filth of any kind will
make II impossible to make the best
quality of butter, no matter what the
treatment of the milk and cream may
be afterward.
No particular plan of butter making
will be found best for all. Difference
in conditions will often make con-
siderable difference in the plan of
management that it will be best to
follow.
Economy should always be consid
cred. If choice butter can be pro.
duced more easily or at less cost in
one way than in another it is certain
ly good economy to try that method.
Profit is the principal object sought
and the profit is the one to be followed.
Using poor quality of salt will
often cause trouble with the butter,
and particularly so If 1t is coarse
grained, that II cannot be well or
rather thoroughly incorporated with
the butter.-Northwest Pacific Farm.

Tree Growing in Kansas.

Fifty years hence Kansas and the
States planting trees to-day will be
supplying California and the coast
States with timber. One need not DO
particularly gifted with foresight to
predict such an event. 1t is an indls-
putable and lamentable fact that at
the present rate of forest denudation
ON the Pacific Coast II will be but a
short time before all the timber on
that section of the coast has gone.
The Government will realize when 1t
is too late the great loss this despoll-
ing of our forests means. Kansas has
formed an organization for the prcser-
