[E time when a girl who went to college
was eccentric is SO long past that the
question, What sort of woman does the
college try to produce" may be answered
by commonsense. The college means to
give women who love scholarship such
training as they might have if they were
men, and to lay the foundation of pro-
fessiona1 study for women who are to en-
ter the learned professions. In by far
the greater number of cases, however, the

The hogs on hundreds of farms in
Kansas have become infected with
cholera in the past few months. This
is the statement of Walter E. King.
bacteriologist of the Agricultural ex-
pertinent station Manhattan, who saws
that the increased prevalence of the
disease during the present season
may be attributed to the excessive
rainfall during the past spring and
summer. Under such conditions the
hog cholera virus has been washed
from infected pens and farms into
rivers and small streams, these tribu-
tar1eS having emptied into larger
streams and flooded districts, thus
sweeping the infection over large
areas Other means of dissemination
such as dogs, birds and the boots of
stock buyers have doubtless contrib
uted their share toward the wide dis
tribution of the disease A press bull
letin has been issued giving precau-
lions against the disease. 1t says that
the cholera vaccine recently perfected
by the Bureau of Animal Industry at
Washington is efficient, but it is too
expensive for general use Prof King

A Mastodon Tusk in Kansas.

A find that is exciting much inter
est locally and that will probably be
of interest to scientists throughout
the country was that of Fred Dutton
of Concordia- While on his way from
Scandal to Concordia in a canoe with
his wife, his attention was attracted
to what appeared to be a large white
bone which protruded from a bed of
clay in the north bank of the Repub-
Hcan river, about 80 feet below the
top of the bank. On Investigation
MI Dutton found it to be huge tusk
of ivory, nearly eight feet long, but
SO rotten from long burial that it
crumbled into many pieces when
taken out The tusk was six or seven
inches in diameter. Pieces of it
were brought to town and are on ex-
hibition. Above the bed of clay from
which the tusk was taken the soil
shows that it was once a creek bed
that has been. filed with silt and
sand The tusk was found a few
miles above Concordia and Mr. button
