THE TRAILING SKIRT.
Condemned by Medical Authorities
Who Declare 1t to BE IA Vert-
table MicrObe Collector.

The physicians of Europe have band
ed together against the trailing skirts.
During the scientific congress held at
Rome the delegates from the various
countries of Eurape have come to the
conclusion that long skirts are emf
nently dangerous to health.
DIR. Philip Casagrandi demonstrated
in most original and impressive fash
ion the inconveniences and the sanitary
Oeriis of this garment. He sent into
the streets number of ladies carry
ing trailing skirts, with instructions
to walk about for an hour.
When the ladies returned the danger.
Gus vestments were submitted to mi
croscopic eNaminati and on each OF
the skirts DR.. Casagrandi discovered
whole colonies of microbes and bacilli.
The physicians determined that the
germs of influenza, consumption and
typhoid fever are the beast of the evils
which careless mothers, after an hours
promenade, bring home to the cradles
of their children.
In view of these alarming revela-
tions made by DR.. Casagrandi the hy-
gienists present at the congress prompt
ly condemned the wearing of long
skirts.

THE FIRST PRINCIPLES.
Unless They Are Carefully Observed
BeekeepinE Cannot BE Made
Real Success.

There are a few first principles that
should be remembered by every bee
keeper. Here are some of them:
1. Bees when frightened by smoke
will Immediately gorge themselves
with honey and lose all inclination to
sting.
2. The most vicious colony of hybrids
may be controlled by using little to-
bacco in the smoke.
3. The prosperity of a colony depends
upon the fertility of the queen. If weak
colonies have not become populous in
one season, kill the queen and give them
another.
4. Toads, skunks and mice are great
enemies to bees; see that they do not
have access to the apiary.
s. Increasing or dividing should be
done as early as possible, but not until
stores are coming in abundantly.
6. Drones are just as essential as any
other bee, but too many are a nuisance.
This may be controlled by cutting out
drone combs and substituting worker
comb or foundation.
Z. Drones may be prohibited in objec
tionable colonies by dividing early il
the spring.
8. Keep all colonies strong.-Robert
Davis, in Farmers Advocate.

WEAVING THE PIGS.
Expert Experience ON a Subject
which Is of Utmost Interest
to Every Farmer.

am aware that there is great diff
ference of opinion in regard to age
that young pigs should be allowed to
remain with their dam. l have no
fixed rule, as l am guided largely by
the way in which the young pigs are
thriving. 1 have frequently noticed
that the milk from the dam does not
agree with the young pigs, causing
excessive diarrhoea, and in this case
we wean the pigs at six weeks, but as
a general rule have found better re-
suits by allowing the pigs to remain
with the dam until eight weeks old.
A great many young pigs are injured
by feeding the sow too literally upon
strong rich food, and not having
much exercise in the open air. l would
strongly recommend moderate exer-
else, with plenty of fresh air, which
is quite as essential as pure food.
After the young pigs are 10 days old
the sow should be literally fed upon
bran and Underground oats, with the
addition of small quantity of ground
peas or corn, but great care should
be taken that the sow should not re-
ceive much gram for about 10 days
after narrowing. Many young pigs
are so seriously injured during this
period that they never recover.-J. E.

telligent womanhood. Every advantage of
equipment in the class rooms, laboratories
and study rooms, every care in the matter OF
food and clothing, and exceptional excel

lures are found at st. Mary's, in the perfec'
tion of development only to be obtained by

tional Christian work, in spot favored by

How to Fight Red Mites.

The red mites are difficult to destroy,
but it can be done. If they are in the
nests of the sitting hens the nests must
be burned, and probably the new nests
will have to share the same fate, as a
few nits and lice may remain on the
hens Sitting hens are quickly killed
when left to the mercy of these mites.
The roosts should be SO constructed
that the lice will take refuge in grooves
on the under side, after which the
roosts may be temporarily removed,
the grooves saturated with oil and the
insects destroyed by fire. This will
have to be repeated for some time to
make the work complete.-Farmers

The brush should be washed every
