THE MODEL o. lRY AT BUFFALO.


1t may be of interest to the stockmer
generally, that the silage used in the
model dairy was put up last September
and has been hauled to the stable, dis,
tance of seventeen miles by wagon dur,
ing May, June, July and the first part OF
August. The last of this was used,
however, short time since, and Mr.,
Van Alstyne informs me that the last
load was in perfect condition after being
kept this length of time and carted such
distance through the hot sun. The
cows are now being fed with green mil
let that is brought in fresh by the farm
ers each day. A Salem, Ohio, silaSe
cutter is now being put in place for the
purpose of cutting green corn. Another
large cutter with a blower attachment
will later ON cut and run feed directly
into the silo, thereby giving an interest
ing exhibit of the manner in which this
important adjunct to modern farm work
is conducted.
What is called a Green Mountain silo
of fifty tons is being erected. The
building and filling of this silo will be a
part of the Model Stable exhibit, and a
very important part it is. 1t will be
| more than an exhibit, however, as III
will provide green feed for the cows
right up to the end of the Pan-American
season.
The herd of Holsteins that the Hol-
sten-Friesian Association sent to the
Exposition last week are being pastured
on nearby farm to get them in proper
condition to enter the fall show begin
ming Aug. 26th and lasting to Sept. 9th,
This herd comprises some of the finest
Holstein cows in the country.
The cattle shows commencing Sept.
9th, will be the most important in the
dairy line ever gotten together as they
include the premium cattle from the
state fair at Syracuse and the Industrial
Exhibition at Toronto. There are over
800 entries in this department making
it not only the finest but the largest col
lection that could be selected.-Maine

now distant glimpse Of low, black

making, made him forget all else. The
distance was lessening between them.
He could see the long pigtail Of the fu-
gitive standing out from his bent head,
when suddenly his horse plunged for
ward and downward. In On awful in
slant Of suspense and twilight. such as
he might have seen In dream, he felt
himself pitched headlong into suffocat-
ing depths, followed by shock, the
crushing weight and steaming flank OF
his horse across his shoulder, utter
darkness and merciful unconscious
ness.
How long he lay there thus he never
knew. With his returning conscious
ness came this strange twilight again
the twilight of dream. He was sit
ting in the new church at Canada City
as he had sat the first Sunday Of his ar
rival there, gazing Mt the pretty face Of
Cissy Trlxit In the pew opposite him
and wondering who she was. Again
he saw the startled, awakened light
that came into her adorable eyes, the
faint blush that suffused her cheek as
she met his inquiring gaze and the con-
scious, half conceited, half girlish toss
Of her little head as she turned her eyes
away, and then file Of brown China
men, muttering some harsh, uncouth
gibbersh, interposed between them.
This was followed by what seemed to
be the crashing in Of the church roof,
q sitting heat succeeded by a long,
deadly chill. But he knew that this
last was all q dream, and he tried to
struggle to his feet to see Cissy's face

borrowing Down."

Everybody has noticed that In e1'
treme old age people grow rapidly
shorter, so that a person formerly OF
average height "grows down" into
quite q diminutive man or woman. A
German contemporary points out that
this decrease Of height begins as early
as the age Of 35 years. At 30. we are
told, the human body has reached Its
full height, which Is retained for rev
years, after which the growing DOWN
process begins. At first and for many
years the process is SO slow as to be
almost imperceptible. but at the age OF
about 90 It begins to be noticeable. and
after 70, even though veteran does
not stoop at all, the fact that be Is
growing down" becomes apparent to
one and all.

Perhaps what have said may do some

attractive dress, with point lace
veil and founce, is made Of heavy
mat white peau de sole, with
embroidery Of silver on the froLt
breadth. The f1ounce of lace Is light
Iy sewed on, and across the waist from
left to right there Is a jabot Of the
lace. This Is held by a bunch of
orange blossoms and another Is
placed at the neck. The sleeves are
made Of a piece Of lace Of the same
kind. The veil is to be worn open and
fastened with a crown Of tulle and
orange blossoms. A pretty design for
wedding dress is of crisp taffeta,
the waist Of the old style, where the
sole finish is piping cord at the bot
tom Of the waist. Around the bertha
is a double row of orange buds, with
q small corsage bouquet at the left
side. The veil to wear with this cos
tune is Of tulIe and reaches the bot
tom Of the demitrain. A wreath of
orange blossoms is to be worn at the
top Of the head. 1t will take many
years of argument before brides will
forego the orange blossom. Bless all

Especial CoTespcndence.l
New YORK. Dec. 1.-THE richest
girl in the world is going to be mar
ried in the early part of the year. and
SO are many other girls not quite so
rich, and ii is fair to expect that they
will all be equally happy-or wretched,
as the case may be-after the first
glamour is past. But the making Of
Gear little plans about the wedding
outfit Is just as absorbing for one as 1t
is for the other. The wedding dress is
just as full Of meaning for one as 1t
is for the other, and so let us see
wherein one bride Is happier than
another. If there is any difference, It
is because one can have a point lace
veil and the other must put up with
a simple tulle one. Miss Alta Rookie
Teller can have q veil made out of
some old papal piece Of precious point
which has cost no one knows how
many years Of toll at the bottom of
cellar-for this kind Of lace cannot
be made anywhere except in a damp
cellar, for fear that the threads would
become dry and brittle. And no one
could say how many cases Of con-
sumption and blindness were wrought
into the point lace veil, but one costs
almost enough to build a hospital for
the blind or to establish a sanitarium
for cOnSumptives. AID 1t is funny,
but point veil is not half SO pretty
or becoming as the lighter and less
costly one.
Miss Rockefeller is said to be noble
and simple hearted girl and worthy Of
all the good gifts that Providence has
in store for a good woman, and chief
est Of these is a good husband. And it
is to her credit that she has chosen a
man from her own country and not one
of those miserable limitations Of men
who come over here and bargain for
rich girls and then-well. Of what use
to talk Of the subject when one only
grows angry about it all and cannot do
any good? Only | may say this, and it
is true: There Is in France a syndicate
Of money lenders, and they are not of
the low class that one might think, for
among them are some Of the most hon
Orable names known in that country,
and some are women. These persons
know to almost a fraction the fortunes
of all the manageable women and
girls in this country. and some of them
would be greatly surprised to learn
that their whole life's history ts kept
on file, and every movement they make
is recorded. If one of them starts for
France, she Is chosen for such or such
nObleman, and when sbs arrives lines
arc thrown out Of which she Is entirely
unsuspicious, and by every art known
to the syndicate she Is drawn on until
she falls the g%ctim of thsss people
