Lace and Gren adine Gowns.

While lace dresses can not be called
fashionable there are always some
seen whose owners can or will not
part with them. They should have a
silk lining, but French sateen is also
used for the round waist, leg-of-mut-
ton sleeves and skirt four yards wide.
The lace is sewedin the same seams
with the lining. A godet or round
plait effect is not imperative in these
skirts-or In any for that matter,
though women think they must wear
them-but il dcsiredput the hair-cloth

In many farm districts the milk Is
sold to dairy factory where the
cream is removed from the fresh milk
by centrifugal separator. The cream
becomes creamery butter, but the
sweet SKINNED or separated milk is
sent back to the farms In the milk
wagons, being sold at a nominal price
per gallon for feeding to calves and
pigs. Oil cake or faxseed meal is
often added to the milk when fed to
calves, but Prof. &. T. Curtiss, of the
Iowa agricultural college, has recently
shown that it is much better to replace
the fiaxseed meal with ground oats, or
with corn meal containing one-tenth
of ground haxseed. Calves were sue
cessfully and profitably reared on sep
arated milk and the grains and hay
usually grown on the farm. During
the first three months the increase in
live weight was at the rate Of one
pound of gain for little less than two
pounds of dry matter in the feed, esti-
mated by evaporaL.ng all the water
from representative samples Dur
ing the eighth month, without milk,
these calves gained an average of one
pound for each four and three-fifths
pounds of dry matter in the grain, hay
and green forage fed to them. The
experiment indicates that good calves
can be grown on separated milk and
farm feeds during their first two or
three months of life, at food cost of
about two cents per pound of live
weight. The superior adaptability
and digestibility of separated milk for
young animals is also shown, as
well as the application of the law of
growth that as growing animals ad-
vance in age, an increasing quantity of
food is required for a given amount of
gain.-Ohio Farmer.

"Never before has the condition of
seamen been so deplorable as at the
present time, in spite of all that the

THE MANATEE.
