Fringes are, it is said, TO be more
popular than ever in the autumn. A
narrow raveled fringe of silk used
with q piping of the same silk is a new
fancy, and a cut fringe of cloth trims
some of the new cloth gowns and man
ties.
Cool shirts for men come in the pure
linen and in a dark linen color. These
negligee shirts are simply made, the
front plat edged on either side with
= narrow piping of white, and the shirt
IS stitched with white.
Some new stockings of filmiest silk

or hand embroidered in lieu of the

Studies in milk production are de
tailed by Professors w. l.. Carlyle
and w. f. VOL of the university agri
cultural experiment staten n bulletin
1O2. The bulletin is based on the
records of the cows in the university
dairy herd founded in the iall vi 1898
In selecting the various animals in the
herd the object sought was to secure
grade COWS that would fairly represent
the different breeds of cattle kept for
the production of milk in Wisconsin.
The primary plan was to obtain five
COWS of each of the following breeds
Jersey, Guernsey, Holsteln and Short
horn. The animals were selected from
farmers herds Il various parts OF the
state and were bought at prices rang
ing from S25 to $40 head. Individual
excellence as producers was the first
consideration in the selection of the
animals, breed characteristics being
considered Of secondary Importance.
Since the foundation of the herd
several pure-brei animals, represent
ing the various breeds, have been added
from time to time. During the past
four years complete yearly records
have been kept of thirty-eight COWS in
all, made up of the following numbers
of grade and pure. bred animals, viz. ::
II Jerseys, four of which were pure
bred, grade Guernseys, 5 Holsteins.
all of which were pure-bred cows Tut
one, IL Shorthorns, eight grades aid
three pure-breds and / grade Red
POlled cow.
The Jerseys fairly represented their
breed and were in the main of what is
generally known as the extreme dairy
type. The Guernseys and Holsteins
wero of a stronger type of dairy cows
and may be considered good rep
resentatives of these breeds. The
Shorthorns were of medium size and
fairly represented the milking, or
dual-purpose, strain of the breed as It
is found in our state.
Accounts of the production, feed
and profits returned by the COWS in
the herd during the first two years
have been published in the 10Th and
18th annual reports OF the station
The present bulletin is in part a con
tinuation of. and partly includes these
records, so that the investigation here
reported presents the main data

and feed requirements of the COWS

counts previously published, yearly
records were made to conform as near

to consider. separately the performance

Care and Management.

The very satisfactory results OBJ
tanned in the production of the various
COWS are in a large measure due to the
interested and efficient work of the
men. The vast amount OF work in
cidental to the keeping of the barn
records was attended to by the herds
men.
1t was the practice to surround the
COWS with the conditions best suited
for an economical and large produc.
ton of milk and butter. During the
entire winter period the COWS were
confined in comfortable stalls in the
barn, excepting for a short time on
dry, warm days when they were al
lowed to exercise in a sheltered, roomy
yard. They were watered twice daily
in cement troughs in the barn and
were not allowed in the open air for
at least a couple of hours after water
ing. Then following daily schedule
