One president OF New England
Institution declares "the colleges
have no sympathy with the view that
IL is undignified to work: rather, they
believe that is beneath the dignity

head of another institution that ID
maintaining a high level in the edu-
cation of women believes that the
| higher education for women "is SUBJ
stituting for the weak and vain am
bitions of what Is called society am-
bitions worthy of spiritual and INTEL
lectual womanhood." And another
distinguished college president ex-
presses the view that "for the ideally
trained woman service to others is
an essential condition of her life and
growth. Contact with noble minds
| through study of books and personal
| asso citation will make her eager to
throw herself into the great struggle
| of humanity. Snobbishness, clannish-
ness and self-seeking have no place
where truth reigns." Not one of the

Must BE IA Good Mixer.

For a COW to be worth keeping in
a dairy herd she must produce
enough milk above the cost of her
feed to pay a good income on the in
vestment. She must do even more
than this. There are q great many
cows that are mere boarders, and
when the test is applied it is found
that so far as profit Is concerned they
are worthless, and profit is the only
object in view.
Why one COW will subsist on the
same feed as another and yet give
twice as much milk is mystery that
has not yet been solved. The COW is
machine to take in grain, hay, fod-
der, etc., and out of this to manufac-
ture milk. The feed is her raw ma
terial, and she is the best COW which
can take this feed and from II give
the greatest return. She. of course,
can give back only what is first sup
piled to her in a different form, but
IL is a characteristic OF some cows
to get out of the feed all the milk
available while with others half of
Ii Is wasted.
While some breeds are better milk
ers than others, yet It Is not alto
gether a matter of breed. Because
COW may be Jersey, a Guernsey or
Holstein, this does not signify that
she is a good mixer, but the individ-
ual COW must stand on her own mer-
its. 1t is true, however, that the best
mixers belong to these breeds.
Uusually the Holstein will give the
greatest amount OF milk, but for rich
ness the Jersey Is unexcelled.
The COW should also be of good dis
position and not be a kicker. II she
is wild and easily frightened there
Will be times when II wiz be impos-
slble TO get all the milk, and the
whole herd may at times be made
restless. She should also be an easy
mixer. In q herd the hard mllker is
anything but satisfactory. And above
all else she should not be breachy or
fence pusher. and she should pro-
duce a calf every year. She should
noe go dry. unless turned dry, and
she should have an even flow of milk.
Many cows produce a large guam
tity OF milk for a few weeks after
calvlng and after that the fow grows
gradually less until II ceases alto
gether.
Size or general appearance should
not be given much consideration.
Color is OF no Importance except as a
mark OF breed. What is desired 10
the dairy COW Is milk or butter. and
the COW that will give the greater
amount OF this at the least expense
Is the beat COW for the dairy.---H.. In

mon thing for farmers living near
towns to buy their garden vegetables

greater opportunities will be given
to purchase more of such as cannot
be grown. Even fruits, especially
the small fruits, are chiefly had in the
market.-Indiana Farmer.

cause Of Some Mysterious Fires.

A man who has accumulated a
great deal OF definite information
about many things remarked to Tip
recently that he believed many fires
of mysterious origin have been caused
by the carelessness of painters, pol
ishers or decorators. Referring to a
fire OF this description in a large
apartment house, he said; "call up
the Fire Marshall and ask II men in
any OF those trades were at work in
the building" The answer was:
Eyes, painters and decorators had
been working on the ninth foor."---

Feeding For Butter Making.


A good English dairy authority says
that to a small extent rich fatty foods
add to the butter fat content of the
milk, but only by supplying material
which the COW is ready to make
cream of, as cows naturally giving
poor milk will lay this fat on their
backs, and it is probably useless to
try to make a bad COW give richer
milk. II it we're not for this, il would
seem somewhat meaningless to de-
scribe certain foods as butter -pToduc-
ers or less suitable for butter making
than for milk-producing though tho
foods are all useful for the latter
purpose also. Peas and rye, for in
stance, are apt TO make the butter
hard, and 30 we find them classed as
third-rate butter foods IN Denmark,
though both of them are useful as
milk foods.
Butter making is so we'll under
stood in Denmark that t is interest
ing to see in what estimation differ
ent foods are held for this purpose.
Rape cake, oats, and wheat bran are
held in the highest estimation: cotton
cake, barley, and palm nut cake como
next, peas and rye ranking last. 1t
will be noticed that the best foods
are highly nitrogenous, excepting
rape cake, and not particularly rich
in fat, the second-class foods being
superior in this respect.
Richness of milk being, however,
dependent on the individual COW or
particular breed, the question may
we'll be asked whether 1t pays to use
these foods in any quantity for all
COWS alike in milk herd. Dhose that
give the richest milk should have

Appeal To The Farmers.

There is entirely too much in
the papers, the Western and Nor
thern, in particular about the re-
clamation of the swamp lands of
Louisiana. What Louisiana real
ly wants is the invasion of an army
of thrifty farmers from other Sec
tons to use the lands already here
and waiting to be titled. There
are thousands and thousands OF
acres of the best lands in the Uni
ted States right here in Central
Louisiana that do not need "re-
claiming" They need nothing
but the pillow and the harrow stuck
into them and with the proper
kind of treatments will bring
crops of every sort on hundred
fold. There is no better land in
the entire Union that can be found
right here--land than is capable of
bringing forth crops of the varied
kinds, and in the greatest abun-
dance. - Alexandria Town Talk.
