TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
BIanketina the Horse.

The usefulness of horse can be
prolonged and his efficiency increased
by proper blanketing and grooming
On arriving at the stable very warm
and sweating the horse should not be
blanketed, until he has ceased to
steam, nor should he be left in
draft. If blanketed at once little op-
portunity is given for him to dry off,
the blanket will become damp and
the hair remain so all night. In case
the blanket is not used until the AMI
NAL has ceased to steam and is some
what cooled, which he will be in
quarter Of an hour. the hair will be
dry and smooth the following morn
ing.
The use Of the outdoor blanket is as
important as the use of the stable
blanket. If the horse is allowed to
stand outdoors, either for a short or
for a long time. he should be well
bIanketed. If he is going to stop but
a short time the temptation not to
blanket the animal is strong. The
horse cools off rapidly and may chill,
so that it is best to blanket if only for
a moment.

THE OLD AND THE NEW
The Modern Girl Has Beauty and Love
Illness, but not More than Her Mother

Montgomery Advertiser: Miss Hazard
for eleven years president of Wellesley
College, declares that statistics taken In
her college show that the modern girl is
taller, healthier and more intellectual
than the "o1d fashioned" girl OF whom
we hear so much in these piping times
of rapid-fre divorce getting. Statistics
recently taken at Wellesley from class
of 2o2 girls show that 1872 are taller than
their mothers were, "a are shorter and
26 are of the same height. The average
height increase was two inches, says
Miss Hard, who declares that "the
reaching out after high ideals and the
broadening of woman's sympathy, the
charging of her whole intellectual life
is in addition also partly responsible for
this tendency" While it may be true
that Miss Hazards 2o2 girl students
average two inches taller than their
mothers, yet it is to be doubted that the
averge modern girl is healthier, taller
and even more intellectual than was her
mother. 1t is true that the American
girl of today has superior opportunities
to those her mother enjoyed. Her &C
compliShments are necessarily greater,
in some respects, indeed, it would speak
poorly for the qualities of the daughter
of today did she not show greater at
taln1nents than her mother. But that
this modern girl who is filling broad
er sphere" is healthier, taller and more
vigorous than her mother, is to be
doubted Our mothers did not play foot
ball nor did they take to other forms of
athletic to any great extent, but some
how their cheeks were always rosy, dis
playing that bloom which comes as the
reward of simple living and not as an
evidence that telephone call had been
answered at the drug store She retired
early, arose. early, ate what she pleased,
was sick little and lived her allotted
three score and ten, The bald assertion
that evolution has put two more
inches of solid height on the American
girl of today is absurd We venture, on
the contrary, that nd Miss Hard re-
moved the rats from the heads of the
girls she measured and trimmed the
heels of their slippers, they would not
have shown as good an verage as she
claims. Still, there is nothing wrong
with our modern girl She has beauty,
charm, grace and loneliness, but not
more than had her mother.
