A p1sGRAcFFUL SCENE.

It appears to us that the advocates of strenuous life, the believers in athletics for all, will draw the line at such exhi- agraph from a recent issue of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
 Eighty girls-young ladies. if you please of Washburn College. Kansas, induIged in cane rush Thursday night. The freshmen and sophomore classes were pitt ted against each other; tables and chairs were broken, clothes torn, eyes blackened and rough-and-tumble fight left the combatants bruised and breathless.
 Can any true friend of womankind read of that affair without blushlng for the girls who engaged in such disgracefui exhibition? Physical culture for girls and women has become quite popular of late, and we have little doubt that with proper limitations 1t is an excellent prep aration for the duties and burdens of life: but certainly the most ardent advocate of female strenuosity will be glad to have 1t limited so that such extremes as those at Washburn College will be impossible.
 To Southern man, at least, such exhi- bitions of savagery are distasteful We are accustomed to look to our women for gentleness, good manners and all the soft and elevating graces of perfect woman hood. We like them to be perfect physi- cally, as well as mentally and morally, but We object to sprouting Amazons, fe- male prize-fghters and girlish champions of brutal sports. Scenes like those at "a sbh hi1r ha womanliness, but we do not think they would command a premium in this sec ton.
 On this subject The Portland Oregonian has this most sensible dellverance:
 Between the dawdling semi-invalid the hoydenish young miss who plays champion basketball or is welded to tennis, there is ample room for the de- velopment of a fine, healthful, womanly one extreme to the other. Let us hope that the extreme in physical culture for young women was reached last year. when teams" composed of panting competed strenuously for the basketball championship, of the various college clubs throughout the country.
 The voice raised against the evils of basketball Is discriminating. That Is to say, it counsels moderator in this exer- else, not it's abrogation; it warns against the roughness and taste for notoriety that are more than likely to be developed by unwomanly club contests for champion ship, but does not decry the game of bas- ket-ball as applied to the physical train ing of girls. It merely insists that the exercise be properly directed as a means of physical development-an enjoyable means to wise end. and that it be guarded from the evils that inevitably fol- low in the train of over-exertion and rudeness under the name of physical training.

 If your hair is brittle and thinning, you have dandruff. The mere securing of the scalp of the loose scales, won't cure dan drum; because dandruf is nothing but scales of scalp being thrown up by pestiferous little germ in burrowing it's way to the root of the hair where 1t sapa the vitality causing falling hair and in time, badness. Now you can't stop dan druff nor falling hair. nor prevent bald ness unless you destroy that germ; and the only preparation that can do it is the new scientific discovery, Newbro's Herpi- eide In fact, no other hair preparation claims to kill the dandruff germ-all of them will clean the scalp; soap and water will do that, but only Newbro's Herpi- eide gets at the root of the trouble and kills the dandruff germ.

GOOD TONES FOR ROGS.
The Kind of Mixture That Should De
Accessible to Them All the
Year Around.

1t is necessary to keep constantly &C
cessible to all hogs, both pigs and old
hogs, some material that supplies lime
and salt to aid in rebuilding. as all
appetizer, and to remove intestinal par
asites. This mixture should be kept
in strong box protected from rain,
and quantity and frequency with which
pigs will visit and eat of the mixture
will often be surprising. The follow
ing is the mixture that we use:
Charcoal, one and one-half bushels.
Common salt, four pounds.
Hard wood ashes, ten pounds.
Stacked lime, four pounds.
Another thing which is good for the
pig is a variety of feeds. Pigs do bet
ter on variety than on any single
feed. This fact is scarcely ever dis
puted by the farmer, but is often
enough ignored to give it some empha-
sis. Just how much better the pig will
do If fed variety, we will let the pig
himself testify; for whatever other
mean thing pig will do he will not
tell lie about his feed.
Fresh water, shade in summer, grain
food when on grass, and dry bed free
from dust, shelter in winter, and above
all, when confined, have the area suffi-
GENTLY large so that it will not become
foul with droppings and mud bugs.
These are essential for successful hog
raising. Bulletin.

BABY BEEF PRODUCTION.
Gain Largely Depends ON Age of the
Animal and the Way in Which
1t Is Fed.

Feeders of baby beef, who keep their
animals up to their work, are known
to make gain of over two pounds
daily for IL months. This gain depends
upon the age of the animal and the
manner in which it is fed. A matter
that should not be overlooked by the
farmer is the appropriate food for each
animal; he should aim to increase the
weight by making the animal as fat as
possible, as fat is more easily produced
on an animal than either lean meat or
bone. 1t has been shown that to in
crease the excess of either fat or lean
on an animal depends upon the age.
The natural inclination of a yearling
animal is growth, and the system de-
mands materials containing but a
small portion of fat producing quail
ties, but as growth adds to weight, the
more rapid the growth the greater the
increase in weight, which, of course.
accounts for the quick gains made by
young animals as compared with those
approaching maturity, and which fact
gives rise to the claim that baby beef
is the cheaper form of the two. To
know the breeds and how to use them;
to be aware of the fact that some
breeds assimilate more food and give
off less waste than others, and to learn
how to convert food into salable
product quickly and economically is
what each one must study out for him
self. Have pair of scales, weigh fire.
quently and note the ratio of increase
in weight. BY so doing one can cover
the causes of failure and correct mis-
takes. The time is coming when the
farmer will not be satisfied with less
than pound day from birth for his
farrows and wethers up to one year old.
In approaching maturity gains are not
so great, but previous to that animals
for the block should be pushed. FL
nally, breeds that gain weight in the
high-priced portions of the carcass
must be given preference, and feeders
must know that they are breeding for
definite results. Baby beef must have
the fat in the right place.-Agricultural

Boxing Hogs for SHINING.

Previous to shipping. place the hog in
a pen or lot by himself to accustom him
to being alone. Feed him lightly, which
puts him in better condition for the trip.
Measure the animal and cut your ma
terial accordingly Permit him to step
forward and back again and be able to
lie down with comfort. Let the box be
high enough to prevent the pigs back
from touching the top. Light wood that
will not easily split is the kind that is
used for boxes. See that he is well
watered and fed (not slopped) and have
sufficient food for the journey.-Up-to-

:. sbouId Sheen Eat Said,

Experiments have recently been made
in France for the purpose of ascertain
ing the nutritive value of salt for sheep.
Three groups of sheep were otherwise
fed with the same feed, but the first lot
received no salt, each of the second lot
half an ounce of salt daily, and each of
the third lot three-fourths of an ounce
daily (the ounce being reckoned at about
2S1a grams). The result was that the
sheep of the second group each gained in
weight Az pounds more than those
which received no salt, and about ~
pounds more than those which received
over half an ounce. Moreover, the sheep
which received salt produced 1as pounds
more wool than those which received
no salt. The report does not state how
long the experiments were continued.

A Happy
NewYear's Day
BERTHA E. COOLER

-"Now, Elsie Lawrence" the girl Sc
verely addressed the woful reflection in
the great glass door of the station, Il
hope you're not going to cry. Remem-
her, you're much too old for such child
ishness. 1t does seem bad that father
must 60 home, and on New Years
day of all days, but you must be brave,
as he said, and have just as happy a
New Years day as you can"
It did seem hard to be left all alone
They had come to this wonderful city,
Elsie Lawrence and her father, and ar
engagements had been made for placing
the girl in seminary.
When Elsie Lawrence walked
through the beautiful marble-tiled sta
ton and stood looking out at the white
world that lay before her it seemed
that the tears must come, for she was,
oh, so lonely.
Outside it was just as crisp and as
clear and as sunshiny as New Years
day should be. The snow sparked with
a million diamond lights, and sifted
onto the roofs and the trees a tender
white covering that made the city seem
a fairy-land. Elsie dreaded to face that
sitting cold. 1t was so pleasant and
warm inside. But, surely, one could not
spend New Years day in the waiting
room of the station. AS she went down
the broad avenue toward Miss Morgan's
seminary Elsie quite forgot the 'cold
and the loneliness in the interest of
watching the people who were hurry
ing this way and that. 1t made her a
little sad, too, when she thought that
everyone in all the great city was hav-
ing happy time except herself. Every
one, it seemed, had some place to go;
sleighloads of young people were pass
ing, and often they cried out Happy
New Year." to someone on the street.
Elsie thought of the girls at home, in
Fairhaven, and she wondered what they
would say if they could see her, standing
on the corner of two broad streets,
wishing so earnestly that she knew
someone on whom she might make a
New Years call. With clatter and a
rush and much sliding of wheels over

Keep the stalls clean and neatly bed
ded.
Now is a good time to whitewash the
stables.
Never tie horse when hot and
sweaty in draft.
Shredded corn fodder is excellent
feed for horses that are idle or doing
light work, but it must be dry and free

heavy work become used to heavy
strain, but are not accustomed to quick
motion Remember this when tempted
to drive fast.
Close up the cracks, as drafts cause
stiffness of muscles and much grain is

Some Agricultural Facts.

People who are not in the habit of fol-
lowing trade, and comparing figures,
will be surprised to learn that the ex-
port of apples from this country to Eu-
rope has, within five years, increased
from $4,000 to more than 100000 bar
rels. The claim recently made by an ex-
pert of the agricultural department that
the hen and not the eagle, is the great
American bird, is backed up by the fact
that the eggs produced in this country
in a~single year have a market value Of
5000, 100000.

California street! Elsie's eyes bright
ened. Impulsively she ran forward
and was soon whirling along in the car.
She was no longer sad; no longer lonely,
for she was going to make New Years
call on the Washingtons-George, Mar
tina, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson,
-Arathusa and Amaryllis. She had
been to see them once before. On the
day of her arrival Miss Morgan had ia
ken her to the miserable little shanty,
and now she was going to see if she
might not bring little sunshine to the
six little orphans, whose mother had
died but the month before. -
She picked her way carefully among
the ash heaps and tomato cans that lit
tered Moxey's alley till she stood on the
little doorstep and pushed open the
rickety door. And what sight met her
eyes! The six little Washingtons sat
huddled about a stove in which few
Goals cleaned family. Martha the eld-
est, girl about Elsie's age, crouched
on stool, and in her arms she held
Baby Amaryllis, so swathed in ragged
quilt that she looked like little pap

Martha's knee, and was whimpering
with the cold. Andrew Jackson and his
twin, Arathusa, were huddled together,
while George Washington, the man Of
the family now, was searching the dim
corners of the bare room, hoping against
hope that some bit of coal might be
there. ....-...s f. NJ
