Equine Holds Interest in Valuable
New York Real Estate Where
He Can Craze at Will and
Live Life of Ease.

New York-"My horse Dick I give
and bequeath to my sisters, Agnes
and Elizabeth Savage 1t is my wish
that they care for the horse as long
as he lives"
AS the result of the above provision
contained in the will of George Saw
age, a plumber of Jersey City, who
died on Sept. II, 1889. Dick. a horse
80 years old, is living a life of ease
and luxury. He is a property owner
and holds half interest in real estate.
Dick came into the possession of
his master as a colt back in the '70s
and for years he made daily tours of
Jersey City in the shafts of a plumb
ers wagon. Mr.. Savage was deeply
attached to the animal, which devel-
oped unusual intelligence at an early
age. He bought five lots at Baldwin
avenue and Clifton place as Dicks ex-
elusive pasturage. AS the years rolled
by he disposed of three of the lots,
but he reserved two for the horses

be advisable to make the chute little
deeper than six inches, in order to
bring the flight of outgoing young
bees down nearer to the entrance
shown at F, thereby causing them to
mix up with the field force going in
there; but in no case should the exit

tact it might induce some of the bees

though the perforated zinc acts as
great check on such an attempt.
In using this device there are three
different systems of manipulating, any
one of which can be used with good
results. The one l use mostly in my
own apiaries is, think, the best and
easiest for extracting colonies; but

WATER THE MILK.
But See That the Water Goes Through
the Cow.

The dairy COW requires plenty OF
water. The dairy machine is run by
water power; all the food consumed
must be in solution before it can
nourish the animal economy, and the
milk itself is 81 per cent. water. I'm
der ideal arrangements pure water is
accessible to the COW at all times.
She drinks little and often, in the ag-
gregate, however, many gallons daily.
The cows on succulent feed do not
drink so much as those on dry ra-
lions, but likely actually consume
more water when one considers the
water content of the feed. This may
explain somewhat the good results OBJ
tanned by feeding roots. The succu-
lent nature of the grass appeals TO the
cows appetite and acts as a natural
stimulant upon all the digestive and
secretory apparatus In winter time
we may feed roots, beet pulp, apple
pomace or vegetables to supply sue
culence Silage, as generally made,
is not juicy enough to balance against
tne rest OF the usual ration.

only 10 Per cent. OF nose from Cni-
eago University Have Found Mates.
Chicago.-Statistics recently issued
by Secretary Arthur E..Bestor Of the
Alumni association of the University
of Chicago show that of the 1000 wo-
men graduates of the university since
its establishment in 1898 only III.
or about 10 per cent, have married.
1t is conceded that the PA girls grad
uated in the classes of the last two
years should have more time, but the
same consideration cannot be given to
those who were graduated before. and
the officials have no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION TO give for their lack of in
terest in matrimony.
This failure of the goods to wed is
not confined to any one class In fact,
of the nine women who graduated in
1894, the year following the worlds
fair. when all the world was attracted
TO Chicago, not one has married.
The officers of the university deny
that there is anything in the sugges-
ton that the restrictions at the uni
versity against college counting and
engagements between students has
anything to do with this showing. nor
10 they believe that the average age
Of the women graduates has had any
effect. although the statistics show
that the average age of the women
who have graduated has been very
close to rs, while the men have been
younger.
The students figure out that the fac
ulty regulations have done more than
anything else TO turn the girls heads
to other matters than matrimony.
