the fact that boys are more decorative

to their attire. The "seryiceable school

the -Four Hundred. He is fed On plain,

Two sober gowns I've seen which
seem to have caught the Lenten spirit,
but are good all the year round, If one
fancies sad colors and subdued effects.
One is a composition Of dark gray with
wide black satin ribbon sash. At the
skirt bottom is a wide, smooth founce,
slashed up at intervals and bordered
with narrow black embroidery. Wider
embroidery is at the waist and neck,
the sleeves and collar are Of the usual
sort. The other Lenten austerity is in
the wardrobe Of the same pretty wild

cause very smart and English; but
more austere in that it is horribly ugly,
with it's long black lace at neck and
sleeves and skirt and it's ~bedeckment

gown one wears when it is necessary

What 1t Costs to Keep Cow and Pro-
duce Milk

A New England farmer with a milk dairy
and years of experience on which to base
an opinion, asserts that the care and at
tention rendered to herd is worth five
cents per day per COW. In addition to
this, he estimates a depreciation in value
OF individual cows, averaging the young
and old ones together, at one cent each
per COW. To this he lacks on one-half
cent per day per COW to cover interest and
taxes. making the amount for the items
named six and one-half cent per day per
COW.
This man has 20 cows in his herd and
made an experiment last winter as to
where he was at financially. The trial
covered period of IA days, and proved
that he was supporting his herd at an
expense of more than a dollar per day
over the returns that the milk yield sup
piled.
incidentally it may be stated that the
COWS are credited with two and one-half
cents per day for manure and this amount
is deducted from the six and one-half
previously named, leaving four cents as
the imperatively necessary sum that a
COW must earn over the cost of her ration
to be main tanned without loss to her own
err
In the trial this man made with his
herd the cost of the dairy ration was a
fraction in excess of 2S cents per cow
while the value of the average milk yield
is put at tr1e over q cents per COW
per day. The loss is about one cent per
day for each COW, which, added to the
four cents reserved for care and atten-
ton. increases it to a small fraction over
five cents.
OF course this man means about his
lack of success, but if he possessed a
knowledge of compromising foods so as
to feed intelligently he would have re-
versed the situation. The cost of his
daily ration exceeded by liberal margin
sum sufficient to have justified a profit
If a properly balanced one had been sup
piled. The one furnished the herd was
best calculated for butter making and
perhaps the cows were also of that type
instead of the milk machines which was
the purpose they were kept for, as there
is no hint of breed.

success in dairying, men fearlessly engage
something will turn up TO save them from
loss. This sort of ignorance is most la
mef1t able because it is so widespread
Dairy education is but trife more diff
ficult of attainment than the sort afforded
by the primary school. The ignorance it
has to contend with is but slightly less
marked than a child exhibits when it first
applies it's mind to the intricacies of the
alphabet. Its nature can be Surmised
when a herd, whose average daily earn
ing for each individual is q cents, is
source of loss to it's owner who claims to
possess years of (allegedO dairy experience.

:. AGRICULTURAL
Educn.ion for Farmers.

Tn an address at the Ulster County, n.
Y, Farmers Institute by j. NJ. Ilasbroa:k
is the following: THE chief objest OF our
assembling together is the bringing 'nlo
personal acquaintance gentlemen who
would otherwise remain strangers. and by
a free interchange of opinions and expert
ences advance new ideas which will kindle
the flame of light and thought in every
mind. Yet, notwithstanding all this, when
we come here and eye looks INTO eye and
hand grasps hand and tongue speaks to
tongue, something of each Of us goes out
to the other and we part better and wiser
for having met The growth and Develop
ment of this country are to grea. extent
dependent upon the farmer AMI l most
heartily approve of the subject Of agri-
culture being more generally taught III our
institutions of learning. l am fully aware
that the touching upon the value of higher
education for the farmer is disputed
ground. Some of the most successful
farmers and business men lave openly de-
clared that it is more of an injury than a
benefit and it may be stat I'd with corsid-
cradle truth that the successful farmers
and business men of today 10 not include
many college graduates. 1t NAV be urged,
on the other hand, that a high school or
college course, when made up chiefly CT
mathematics and classics, tends 20 develop
these moral and intellectual qualities which
are of use in all callings of life. My en-
pefIelce IN TINS matter leauS me - De
leve that much may be done by a sys-
tematc school training of the youth 10 an
appreciation of his calling, whether 1t be
a farmer mechanic or any other Industry
in life. Train the boy to keep his eyes
open to business possibilities and in
spire him with healthy respect for the
farm in all its various branches; arouse
determination to not only become sue
cessful farmer, but a useful one as we'll;
to acquire a public spirit, well educated
and successful man of affairs. There is
another point l would like to impress upon
the rising generation. OF the young men,
sons of farmers who leave the home farm
to engage in some other business, it is
estimated that 90 per cent fail. Great suc
cesses are unfortunately the rule in mod
ern life. Economy, perseverance AMI So
briefly should accomplish a great deal,
but to this should be added the training
of the Youth in industry. None can
study the history of civilization without
becoming convinced that scant justice las
been done in our literature to advance TIE
fundamental industry of the farmer; but
on the contrary the youth of the present
day are seeking other business. The heroes
to whom they look up are great railroad

Wheat Feeding Results Stated In n
Nutshell.

F. y. Coburn secretary of the Kansas
State Board of Agriculture, summarized a
great mass of experience on this subject
as follows:
In Kansas, under the conditions as to
product and prices of wheat and corn exist
ing in the years 1880, wheat has become a
very unusual and very important factor in
the grain feeding of all classes of farm
stock. II is superior to corn, pound for

Mixed with corn, oats bran, it is much
superior to either alone. for work horses.
Fed to cows, it is exceptional milk pro-
ducer, and for that purpose corn is scarcely

food for all fowls, and as a promoter of the
maximum egg production, is unsurpassed
by any other grain.
For swine of all ages, it is healthful
and agreeable food, giving generous returns

degree by mixing judciously with BRAN

to balance the too carbonaceous nature of
the clear wheat
with corn and wheat approximatng the
same price per bushel, it is not unprofitabl
nor wicked to feed the wheat; yet, if it can
be ground, rolled, crushed or in some way
broken at total cost not exceeding 5 to

so as to represent a double rever, and on
each shoulder there was a rosettc The
back was plain and gathered. There was
narrow crushed puff around the wrists
as finish to the dropping gigot sleeves.
This extremely pretty dress would be quite
as pretty in any other color or material or
in pure white.
\ very taking frock for girl of II WAS
of hairline striped percalc blue and gray.
The skirt was slightly gored but was still
gathered around the belt, to which it was
sewod. In three rows around the skirt was
sewcd ccru lace of a peculiar pattern. 1t
was sewed around the upper points tight,
and the scallops were left free but the
lace was not gathered. The waist was
gathered at the belt vest fashion under a
figaro of the same material sewed with the
lace so as to leave scallops. The lace on
the sleeves and figaro was of the same
pattern, but narrower. The belt and collar
were draped. The sleeves were pulled,
with falls at the elbow, while the fore
part was quite plain. Nearly all girls Of
this ones age wear their hair in braids in
the back Topped up loosely and tied with
ribbon to match the color Of the gown.
The shoes for girls of that age for this
season nearly all have the vamps Of cloth,
either drab, brown or checked, in light
gray and black or black and white. Heels
are low for growing girls, but toes are
made narrow and pointed with patent
leather tips. a few girls wear their hair
in one long tail hanging down the back,
and some again have it cut short, but the
best authorities now say it is better to
braid the hair, keeping the scalp well
brushed, and let it grow and singc the ends
when 1t grows straggly, The hair bleeds
when cut, as is now shown under the mi
croscope, and that is why it loses strength
when cut too often.
