The Education Of WOmen.

In an article in the May Delin-
eafo,, Miss Clara E. Laughlin de-
fines the ideal education of women,
as: First, to realize herself as a
woman; second to learn what there
is for her to do; and third, to study
how to do it. This is an evident
dissension from the principles OF
the higher education" The mis-
take of some of our modern educa-
tors that woman needs a given
number of requirements, given
amount of languages, science, lit
erature, etc, she deplores, and
rightly, for unless these conduce
to make one a more worthy woman,
more useful member of society,
they are as naught. A little more
of the wisdom of our grandmothers
and less of metaphysics and eco
nomics in the feminine education
al system will work for its better
ment.

About the liOg Business.

Farmers can seek no more profit
able business than that OF raising
hogs, at the present time. Remem-
Der that hogs are paying big profits
on care and feed, at present, and
have a clear sky ahead. Pigs
should have clean quarters, fresh
water to drink, and should be fed
so they will nicely assimilate their
food instead of giving them less
than they need or little more
than they can cram down. Sows
that are confined to small pens and
fed trash will rarely bring strong,
healthy pigs. They need plenty
of green food and exercise. One
of the discouraging things about
the hogs is the tendency to have
untldy quarters. This may not be
a great thing to the man that is
engaged in taking care of them
and sees only the money in them,
but it is a great thing to the far
mer's family. There seems no
good reason why they should not
be kept in better condition. The
farmer can make his yards tidy by
having the lots drained and by
seeing that the whole area is not
covered with dirty corn cobs and
other rubbish. One of the great
sources of untidiness comes from
feeding hogs on the ground, es-
pecially on wet ground. An east
ern exchange says that before an
other year light hogs will be on
the top of the heap again, and
that bacon hogs will be heard a
good deal of. Farmers should stick
to the American type and not get
TO breeding for bacon, or they VIII

get a grade of roughs which will
sell accordingly. A very fine thing
to keep hogs in good condition is
the following: Burn the corncobs
to charcoal in a pit and feed them
to the pigs. Break the charred
cobs into small pieces and add
wood ashes and common salt and
you have one of the best regula-
tors for your hogs which can be
invented. To eight bushels of the
charcoal add one and a half bush
els of wood ashes and eight pounds
of salt. Mix we'll and sprinkle
with a pound of copperas dissolved
in a pail of hot water. Place in a
box where the pigs can get free
access to it, and you will be sur
prised at the appetite they seem to
have for it. 1t will do them good,
too.

Topographic Survey Of the Region Along the
Colorado River.

What is to be known as the
Needles quadrangle is now under
survey by the United States Geo
logical Survey, and topographic
maps of the region will soon be
prepared. This area lies in eastern
San Bernardino County, California,
and southwestern Mohave County,
Arizona, and touches the Nevada
State line on the north. The Col
orado River cuts through the dis
triCt from northwest to southeast,
dividing it into two nearly equal
parts. At the eastern end of the
basin included in the quadrangle
the greatest depression is the Sac
ramento Wash, the course of which
is due west and is followed by the
line of the Santa Fe Railroad.
The region is bare and forbid
ding, but the soil is said to respond
with wonderful fertility to irriga-
ton. A few small scattered pros
pect holes" are to be found in the
foothills, but the Santa Fe Railroad
is the only permanent improve
ment of any kind.
The mountains, the foothills, and
the sides of the basin have been
mapped on a scale suitable for
showing their mineral features, but
the river bottom has been mapped
on a larger scale, in connection
with the reclamation surveys.
Work of similar character is
also being undertaken along the
Colorado River in the vicinity of
Yuma, Arizona.

The One-Mile Sheep Law.
Following is the new sheep law

roiioWlng is the new sheep law
passed by the late Legislature:
Section I. 1t is not lawful for
any person owning or having
charge of sheep, to herd the same,
or permit them to be herded, on
the land or possessory claims of
other persons, or to herd the same
or permit them to Craze within
one mile of the bona fde home or
bona hde ranch house; provided,
that nothing in this Act shall be
so construed as to prevent sheep
being driven along any public
highway, or as near thereto as may
be necessary therefore; provided,
further, that the word highway
as used herein shall be so construed
as to permit the driving of sheep
herded closely together, steadily,
quickly and continuously by the
most direct passable route from
one range to another, but in no
case shall this last provision be
construed so as to conflict with the
former provisions of this section;
provided, that nothing in this Act
shall prevent the owner from herd
ing or grazing on his own land.
Section 2. The owner or the
agent of such owner of sheep vio-
lating the provisions of the last
section is liable to the parties in
jured for all damages sustained;
and, if the trespass be repeated, is
liable to the party injured for the
second and every subsequent Of
fense in double the amount of dam
ages sustained But no person will
be liable for damages under this
Act for grazing sheep on the pub
lie domain, within one mile of his
own land.
Section 3. When the owner or
the agent of such owner of sheep
found trespassing upon the land
or possessory claims of another, or
within one mile of the bona fde
home or the bona fide ranch house,
is unknown to the party injured
by such trespass, all sheep so tres
passing shall be treated as estrays.

Successes of G. L. Wood,

G. L. Wood, president of the Farmers
bank Of Milbank S. D., has for many
years been recognized as one of the lead
ing representative business men of the
west. His personality has been strongly
impressed upon the industrial and COM
mercial affairs Of the northeastern part of
South Dakota. and he is known in all that
vast region as man Of fine Judgment,
conservative yet shrewd and enterprising.
He is a large land. owner and one of the
heaviest taxpayers in that section.
MIR. Wood has been in South Dakota
since 1878. He was one of the first of the
pioneers and long since ceased to be a
"tenderfoot." He organized the Farmers
bank In 1891 and has made it one Of the
strongest financial institutions in his
state. He is a native of Vermont and
came west because he knew it to be the
land Of opportunity and that the advice
of Horace Greeley, so often quoted. was
founded on good sense and human ex-
