ard's statements
Indicate that she
belleTes In the training of girls
for the practical and domestic
sldo of life. She expresses be
lief that physical training at college
is the best preparation for mother
hood. She advocates athletics In wom
en's colleges. She belleTes that the
training of the human body Is of para
mount Importance to woman, and
she declares that It Is even more Im
portant for a woman than for a man.
Says Miss Hazard:
"The physical advantages Welles
ley offers are one of Its most telling
points. Some time ago we inaugu
rated the system of not taking any
girl who was afflicted with any organic
disease or serious functional disorder.
I do not think that we have carried
this tendency any too far. I believe
that a girl should look first of all to
her health. I am strong'y in favor of
having a stringent test made of a
girl's strength before she enters col
lege, much as the young men at Har
vard, ?n competing for a college team,
are obliged to pass the strength
tests.
"There is another phase of education
which the adjective 'physical may In
its broadest sense be said to designate.
I refer to the household economics. At
present there is no course given at
the college in this subject, but I am
oni of those who are strongly In fa
vor of Introducing one. This public
is beginning to realize that colleges
are the best places to fit girls to be
good wives, good mothers and home
makers. It is no longer considered the
place for the exceptional girl who
wishes to enter professional life. It
has become the training school for
the ordinary, everyday glrL
"In one way Wellesley may be said
to be one great laboratory of econom
ics. All the work of providing food for
for the l.SOO-odd girls and the numer
ous others is carried on by one wom
an, much as the commissary depart
ment of the army is conducted. This
provider calls meetings of the various
heads of houses and the food for the
whole college is then planned out for
some time In advance. It is the same
way with the laundry and other facil
ities. Wellesley college Is like a town
by itself, or rather. It is like one great
household, and nowhere Is there a bet
ter opportunity for learning how do
mestic affairs should be conducted. It
Is to the developments in household
economics and In physical training, to
um up, that I should say the growth
of Wellesley college during my admin
istration is to be attributed."

lived apart from ber husband for the
last ten years. He also cautions hl9
heir In the will against Mrs. Rose
Marie Knowleton, a daughter, who sid
ed with her mother In the controversy
leading up to the legal separation.
Colonel Dyrenforth was born In Chi
cago In 1844 and was graduated from
the University of Creslao, Germany, in
1861. From then until 1866 he was in
the United States army. He was major
of an Illinois regiment and was on the
staff of General Rosecrans, General
Copeland and General Dodge. As act
ing engineer he fortified the mouth of
the Missouri river In advance of
Price's raid In 1814. Under President
Grant he was principal patent examin
er, and he resigned from the patent
office on the accession of President
Cleveland. Mr. Dyrenforth has prac
tised as a corporation and patent law
yer since 18S5.
It was his army service that led him.
In his will, to choose an army career
for his bflr, and, In order thnt the
young man's mind be not turned aside,
he provided that the executor should
guard the boy from feminine Influence.
The will provides that the executors
are to let the boy know "quietly, grad
ually and Impressively, though to no
erratic extreme, the Indirect, artful
and parasitical nature of most of the
unfortunate sex, and to take rare that
he may not marry beneath him."
It was Colonel Dyrenforth who got
the Idea a few years ago that he could
produce rnln by discharging high ex
plosives In the air, and he experiment
ed extensively. His theory was based
on the raiistorms that always spoil a
Fourth of July of the unsafe and In
aane type. The colonel fired off a lot
of rockets and other things down In
Texas In 1891 to prove his theory and
his efforts were followed with a good

,lBIRD3 WILL PROTECT FRUIT
By Planting tarty Wild Varieties
ongetere May Coaxed Away
From Cultivated Tress.
(By W. U VIATEE)
Birds play vary important part tn
tha economy of nature and by their
destruction of Insects lend material
aid la keeping the balance true. Both
tha farmer and the orchardlat are
greatly Indebted to birds for the de
struction of Insects and weed seed.
Both for practical and esthetlo rea
sons, there Is a demand for Informa
tion as to the best method of In
creasing the bird population in re
stricted areas, particularly on the
farms and about homes. There Is a
demand also for tha provisioning ot
large preserves for both land and wa
ter game birds and the protection of
crops by cultivating seed and fruit
bearing plants more useful to birds
than to man.
Various other factors may be tu&de
to contribute to the success of efforts
to attract birds, such as a supply of
water for drinking and bathing, nest
ing boxes, protection from enemies,
and winter feeding; but the main pur
pose Is to call attention to the plants
which best serve to provide food for
birds and to draw their attention
away from cultivated crops.
Our native shrubs should be utilized
as far as possible, especially as many
of them are not exceeded In beauty or
Interest by foreign plants. Further
more, as a rule they are more attrac
tive to birds than exotics. It should
be borne tn mind also that smoothly
trimmed hedges and the stuff trees ot
a formal garden are not nearly so at
tractive to birds as untrained bushes
and tangled thickets. Shrubs of sterile
varieties or those closely pruned after
blooming are not sought by birds,
while those allowed to ripen fruit are
often crowded with feathered visitors.
The best shrubs and trees for at-
trading birds are those most resorted
to for food, and the extensive records iB considered so surely fatal that no
of bird food In the biological survey amount of spirits can avail, as the pol
make their selection an easy task. : ,on naa oniy 8 brief distance to travel
The berries of elders are eaten by
the largest number of species of birds,
namely, 67. Raspberries and black
berries are known to be eaten by 60
species, mulberries by 48, dogwood
fruits by 47, those of the nonpolson
ous sumachs by 44. the various wild
cherries by 39, and blueberries by 37.
A great many other varieties which
grow In localities where these are not
plentiful are also very attractive to
Nothing surpasses mulberries forl
alluring birds away from the early
orchard fruits. Early bearing varle -
ties should be planted in numbers
and some should be selected for the
lengiu ui ine irumng season. j
Where It Is desired to attract birds
and afford them a sanctuary at all
seasons, a large variety of plants must j
be used. For this purpose thickets of !
shrubs and other low growths are bet
ter than trees, since tangles of bushes
and vines afford a more secure retreat
from bird enemies and are the favorite
cover of many species.
GREAT CROPS FOR DAIRYMEN
Alfalfa and Corn Furnish Nutrients,

One of the very greatest crops for ;
the dairyman, and one which Is now !
being successfully grown on thousands
of farms In Illinois, Is alfalfa. Every
dairyman should have a patch of al

"leak of "Mountain Dew" Considered
an Indispensable Part of Man's
Equipment Not Always Pos
sible to Save Victim.
Recent experiments 1th a serum to
cure rattlesnake bites have called to
mind the old time remedy used by
those whose ways lie along the paths
of the mountain reptiles. Since the
first mountaineer was bitten by the
first man-hating rattler alcoholic
stimulant has been the anti-lute, and
the ouly one so far as the backwoods
man's knowledge was concerned.
In the North Carolina mountains,
where rattlers are as pleullful as long
logged natives, the man considers a
flask of "mountain dew" a necessary
companion at all times, even If he Is
not a habitual drinker. Look Into any
log hut and you will find (unless the
owner mistakes you for a revenue offi
cer) at loam one keg of the powerful
corn whiskey stilled by Borne moon
shiner back In the woods. It Is well
that the whitish beverage la uncom
monly strong, since only a small quan
tity has to be carried about for safe
guard against snake bites.
Wheu a rattler hits you, as the
mountaineer knows, you must drink
enough alcohol to become Intoxicated.
Aa soon as you fool "lit," the poison
has been counteracted; If you have
not enough liquor to affect you the
only thing to do Is to lie down and
say your prayers.
The amount of whisky needed to
offset the poison depends, according
to rural belief, upon the spot where

FLOORS FOR POULTRY HOUSE
Those Made of Lumber Are Deemed
the at Despite the Cost
Cement Type flood.
Dy 1. J. OOOPK )
With the constant Increase In w
price of lumber there Is a growing
tendency to use eometblng else than
boards In the construction of floors of
poultry bouses. There are many peo
ple who consider the board floor the
best. It must be agreed, however, that
there Is a point In the advancing cost
of lumber at which the kue of boards
will have to be dispensed with
Most people that construct poultry
houses are not so rich that they can
afford to puy out large sums of money
for any part of the structures.
The board floor la without doubt the
warmest kind of floor, and that Is why
the writer favors IL The Ideal way of
building such a floor Is to use matched
lumber for the top aud rouh boards
for the bottom with tarred paper be
tween. The thick, heavy tarred paper la the
kind that should be used. Much of the
tarred paper being used In house con
struction Is of very little value.
It simply answers to fulfil the prom
ise of the contractor to put tarred pa
per In the walls. The heavy paper
costs more, but It Is worth more than
It CORtS.
A floor that Is thoroughly well pm
together will bo quite warm, provided
that the space under It Is kept tight.
A floor of wood ahould stand a foot or
so above tho ground, so that rats can-
not got a chance to gnaw It
The trouble about the space nmler
the floor Is that It Is quite commonly
left open to tho weather, and the floor
above the space becomes very cold in
the winter ttiuo.
Some builders say that this space
should be left open to the air. so that
dry rot will not attack the wood, but
Is there any reason why the outsldea
ihould not nie tight and tho open
ings for aeration be made In the floor,
(hue letting tho air from tho poultry
house pass Into the space Instead of
the frigid air from out of doors?
Earth floors are becoming qutti" com
mon, but they are difficult to keep
clean. Sometimes they are too wet
and sometimes too dry. and If the lo
cation of tho poultry house la lo
they become damp, which Is very oetri-
mental to the health of poultry.
An earth floor, to be kept In good
shape, would have to be kept covereo.
with a litter of coal ashes. As a
matter of fact the ordinary farmer
seldom does this. Ideal conditions for
fowls are usually found only In the
Institution that Is devoted entirely to
the raising of poultry.
Ideal care cannot then be depended
on to give us results, and tho dirt floor
will thus usually be found In a very
untidy condition.
Sometimes tn wlntor It freoses hard
and Is a poor substitute for a wooden
floor.
The cement flixir Is coming to be
quite popular In some localities, but
has the disadvantage of being cold.
Also It will not entirely prevent the
entrance of moisture.
A cement floor, like an earth floor,
has to be kept covered with something
In the winter time. It Is, however, san
itary and ea.ir to clean when It has
become dirty.
Water can be used upon It without
any Injurious results. It will not be
como the harboring place for lice and
rodents do not try to gnaw through It.
