The Outdoor Woman.

When that husky brute, man, goes into the big woods for the good time of the year no longer does he leave d bundle of frills and laces at home or the shore, with nothing to assuage her grief at parting with her lord but a stack of the latest fiction, a fond kiss and perhaps, a hypocritical Wish you could go with me-" No, indeed! Now she goes with him, and he is finding out that he is very glad she does.
 Whether either he or she is glad, however, depends, in a measure--in fact, rather largely-upon her clothing. She must be warm in cold weather, not too warm in hot weather, not be bedraggle to helplessness when it rains, nor snagged every few minutes in rough going by stepping on her skirt or getting caught on a stub. If she is to be real companion to man she must not hold him back by add ing to her natural handicap, lack of strength, the unnecessary and exasper ating unsuitable costume.-Outing.

Delightful.

A certain young person had attained her twenty-ifth year so many times that her ingenuity was about to crack under the strain of getting away with it. In other words, she would soon be an old maid if something wasn't done.
 But what?

 The seventh daughter of a seventh daughter was not lacking to herself. Precisely she replied Drowning is described by all who have given it seri- ous trial as delightful sensation. pro- vided you don't struggle against it.'
 Whereupon the young person saw a great light and went home and lived happily ever after-NeW York Post.

Agricultural College Entertains.

The Connecticut Editorial associ-
 ation with others were guests of the loffioials of the Connecticut agricultural lcolIege at Storrs Monday. There were twenty seven papers represented.
 From the Willimantic station the
 sixty-five guests were taken by auto
 mobile over an eight.mile ride to the
 beautifully located institution. A
 tour of inspection immediately began
 which would be a revelation to one
 not familiar with the aim and purpose of such a school. The average attend anoe of pupils exceed two hundred, but
 at present the college work has been discontinued due to the tremendous
 call for men to help carry out the
 preparedness program of the state.
 About twenty five of the men have
 gone into military training, praotio ally all of them going into the officers
 training corps. About twenty picked men were taken by the extension de-
 partment and are at work as garden supervisors. The United States forestry service is at present using fourteen
 men in its campaign to fight the
 white pine blister rust The remainder of the men are at work on some
 productive job Practically all are in some form of agriculture. The girls
 have all been given work in canning and are in a position to act as demonstrators in their home con- munities. One girl is at present acting as garden supervisor The college formally closed May 12. It will re-
 open October 16th and will continue until May 10, 1918. Vacations will be reduced to a minimum and an effort will be made to give the full course, although the time will be shortened. Schools in canning will be held dur ing the summer. The activities of the college are three fold; instruction to the men and women students to fit them for leaders; experimental work to find best methods in agriculture and the extension work of carrying l this information to the various com munities of the state. The live stock 1 proved particularly interesting, and the gradual grading up to the high degree of excellence for which the in. stitution is striving was explained. The eleven registered Percheron horses, colts and the ree-year-old Dragon, Jr., rated third among the stallions of the country, were much I admired.

PLANT CORN IS
 EXPERTS ADVICE

Professor Slate Shows How Connect
 cut Gan Increase Food Crops by Vast
 Amount if Each Farmer Will Plant One Additional Acre.
 GA statement to the farmers of Gen. necticut by w. L. Slate, Jr., professor of agronony, Connecticut Agricultural college. Issued through the Connecti- cut Committee of Food Supply.
 Corn is the most sensible, econom- ical and patriotic crop we can grow ill Connecticut this year-sensible because it fits our farm system, grows on most soils, requires little machinery and is practically a sure crop; economical be- cause the seed cost is small, it re spends well to farm manures, there is no spraying expense and the food pro- duced is greater than any other crop we can grow; patriotic because it will go farther toward helping feed the world than any other crop we can grow.
 Corn, like other feeds, is so high that we can't afford to buy it. What will we do for grain next fall? Feed home grown corn ground with the cob. It makes excellent feed.
 -, What will we do if four goes to $2O barrel? Eat more cornmeal. Our forefathers won the Revolution on it.
 It will cost from $125 to $15O to grow an acre of potatoes properly this year. For the same outlay two or three acres of corn can be raised and at least twice as much food produced.
 It is now too late in the season to change or enlarge our plans greatly, but it is not too late to plant an extra acre of corn. Do you realize that one acre of corn on every farm in Connec- ticut means 100000 bushels of shelled corn added to our supply?
 , We must win the war by fighting and by farming. Corn is the crop We can grow best. Plant another acre.

Words. Which Have strayed.

Hardly any words ill the English ian. guage have strayed farther from their original meaning than the terms of for estry. Thus forest was originally a great tract of country, which might in- clude woods, cultivated lands, pastures and even towns and villages, all the hunting rights over which were reserv- ed to the monarch. A chase differed from a forest mainly in the fact that the hunting rights were vested in a subject instead of a king. A park was a fenced preserve, either in or out of forest, while a warren was a piece of waste ground over which the right to hunt the hare, the rabbit and the fox, the pheasant, the partridge and the Woodcock had been granted by the king.
 In the same way the term afforesta- tion had nothing to do with the plant ing of trees. It meant the subjection of any tract of country to the forest laws-in other words, it was the set ting aside of this tract as forest. A forest might and commonly did include vast estates of landowners and large towns whose rights remained untouch- ed except as to game.-LondOn MaiL
