evening costumes designed for the
sunny southland, wolfe is in the lead
in point of popularity. Of course
voile that is not accordian plated is
scarcely wolfe at all, but then it is all
accordion plated.
1t is not every one who can wear
an accordion plated gown. The I.oie
Fuller type of skirt, for instance, is
for those only who possess slight
and lithsome figure.
I know of gray wolfe frock that has

coat of coarse lace, tied high about

when foreigner was elected there
from who bore all the signs of ex-
tremely rough usage. but nevertheless
was laughing immoderately.
"What is the joke" the gentleman
asked.
"Why," said the other, "a man came
up to me in the bar just now. gave me
a fearful punch on the nose and said,
Take that. you blooming Norwegian "
and he fell to laughing again.
But" the gentleman said. there's
nothing very funny in that"
mo" the man answered but then
he hit me crack in the eyes and after
ward knocked out my teeth. saying,

the last two substances are extracted

of a small dipper holding about two
tablespoonfuls and placed in the jar
bearing the cows name or number. A
cartridge shell Of the proper size, with
a wire attached for a handle, makes q
very convenient dipper for this pur-
pose. To prevent the milk from souring
until the end of the week to each glass
jar should be added as much pulyer-
lied potassium bichromate as will lie
on one cent piece. Potassium bichrO-
mate, although rank poison, is one of
the best preservatiyes to use for this
purpose for the reason that it imparts
q lemon color to the milk thus making
1t easy of detection and Obviating the
possible mistake Of feeding it to calves
or pigs.
At the end OF the week the composite
samples in the jars are tested with the
Babcock milk test to determine the per
cent of butter fat. This gives the aver
age amount Of butter fat contained in
each cows milk for the week. The to-
tai weight Of the milk for the week
multiplied by the per cent Of butter fat
gives the total butter fat produced by
that COW for the week.
This test should be made every three
months or thirteen weeks. and in com
putting the yield Of the COW for the
three months the six weeks previous tC
and the six weeks following the test
should be taken.-W. j. Fraser, Illinois

The general opinion prevails that the
AngOra goat is an exceedingly hardy
animal and can take care of itself
without any difficulty under almost
any circumstances, says American Ag-
rlculturist \ prominent breeder in
| Texas calls attention to the fact that
this is true only in part. Goats are
able to find their living on rough, I'M
productive ground They are great
browsers and will live on brush and
comparatively scanty heritage. How
ever, the young goats are tender dur
ing the first two or three months and
must be given careful attention. TIL
breeder stated that he got the idea that
the goats could be turned into pasture
and allowed to shift for themselves.
He was then living in the Panhandle
region. He bought 800 females and
took them to Donley county and placed
them on what is usually considered an
ideal location. The land was rough
and rocky and supplied sufficient for
age. In sixteen months the herd Of
goats was reduced to 100 head. He
thinks that goats in common with most
other domestic animals must be given
careful attention, put into cOrrals at
night and turned out i'm the morning.
The kids when turned out with the
herd will cuddle down under Il bush
or shrub. and the mother goat will 20
on, leaving l'' kid to be destroyed by
wolves or from lack of nOuriSh-
ment
This mans view of the AngOra goat
question is in line with the experience
of many who haze attempted to raise
them There is no doubt that AngO
ras are here to stay and can be prof
itably raised in many places in the
country. They must. however. not be
neglected if they are to be profitable.
Like Any Other Business.

up almost anywhere, like wood, for
winter use. Squashcs and pumpkins
do well and keep long time. Then

tOber. 1t Is seldom, however, that
grass is really good until February,
but early sown rye is ready for use in

corn will furnish excellent forage. In

The above mentioned crops can be
grown almost anywhere out here, with
the exception that sorghum may not do
well right along the ocean. west Of

most any plant of the corn family
makes excellent green forage here dur
