As for materials, every cloth would
seem to be fashion. Silks, satins, vel
vets. corduroys. mulls. mohairs. linens
and an almost countless variety of cotton
goods. plain and mercerized, all are press
ed into service.
Perhaps the newest of these viii be
/ found in the English svestings. These
are the goods which English tailors use
for making mems fancy vests. an article
Of fashion which has hitherto been far
more popular and general on the other
side of the herring pond than it has been
here among men who aim to be correct
dressers. Last spring we had fore
taste of what the future held in store in
the matter of these yestings, but all that
| we got Of them only created an appetite
/ for more, and the demand went out for
/ newer eolorings, newer patterns and vary
ing weights of weave and texture. Many
I Of the new yestings show background
woven in the Marselles patterns on
4 which figure square, an oblong or a
diamond, as the case may be, is woven
in contrasting color. Some attractive
patterns have block woven in a cross
stitch; others present basket pattern,
and one large importing-house is showing
a silky-looking fabric with Dresden china
designs of tiny flowers strewn at random
all over the cloth, no set patterns seem
ing TO be followed.
Mohairs, Of course, are prime favor
ties, Since they are silky and pliable, and
/ what is better still, wear to the last
the pastel tones, and when made up with
appliqued silk bands and fancy hand
stitches the effect is fully as good as
when made of expensive silks at four
times the cost, while the result is certain
1 ly four times as durable.
In the silk shirtwaists besides the reg
ulation tailored article there are to be
seen many fancy effects. The early Vic
torian styles with their long shoulder
seam, little cape and fchu effects, and
! pointed belt, all lend themselves well TO
the soft silks which are in vogue.
The damasse linens which were an ex-
treme novelty in the spring have reap
peafed with new beauty of design and
lustre. These are preferably made up ip
the severe tailored style, side plaits usual
" springing from tie shoulder seam

Pritchards successor. Each Democratic member
has been required to vote for some man in his
judicial district, so that in all, we suppose, about
200 North Carolinians are to-day walking after
the manner described in the Charlotte Observers
masterpiece:
"I seen Pa coming, stepping high,
Which was of his walk the way"
And all because each of the 200 has been form
ally voted for in the Legislatures b~alloting for
the high office of United States Senator.
The deadlock, however, will probably be broken
tonight. Hoke and Carr withdrew sometime ago,
and Capt. Alexander's little band finally deserted
him last Thursday. Much more significant is the
breaking up of Craig's forces, Craig's loss being
Watson's gain so far. The real fight all along
has been between Overman and Watson and on
Thursday night for the first time Watson's vote
exceeded that of Overman. Friday night Wat
son made another slight gain, and Col. Carr again
received a few votes, the final ballot being as fol-
lows:
Watson ....... "a

The caucus then adjourned till this (Tuesday)
night when a decision will probably be reached.

Improbable nomination for Governor in 1906

"FEEDING FARM ANIMALS"

Commenting two weeks ago on the new book,
Feeding Farm Animals" by DR.. Charles VIM.
Burkett, of our N. c.. A. & M. College, we pro-
nounced it "the clearest and most concise dis
cussion of the matter that we have seem" A
more thorough examination of the work only con
firms this opinion.
at is" as is said in the preface, "to bring be-
fore the feeder and the student the simple scien-
tifc truths of nutrition and their practical ap-
~plication to feeding farm animals that this little
book appears. X X The author has ATTEMPTED
to present the truths of science in simple Ian
guage, and to use only such technical terms as
are absolutely necessary"
In these aims DR.. Burkett has been notably
successful. And the subject is an important one.
Millions of dollars are wasted every year by
irrational and unscientifc stock feeding-mil-
lions, actually, that might be saved by the appli-
cation OF the simple truths set forth in this lit
tie book.
DIR. Burkett has written especially for agricul-
tural students, but the work is one that any in
telllgent farmer or bright farmer boy can mas
ter at home these winter nights. The central
idea of the work, of course, is to teach the far
mer the composition Of different feeds and the
needs of different kinds of tock-the compound
ing of feeding rations so as to suit the needs of
the animals and avoid waste. This is the aim,
and DIR. Burkett, with his usual direct, clear cut
manner, never loses sight Of it in all the 1875
pages. Every sentence counts; it is put there
to enable the farmer to see the truth more clear
ly or apply it more intelligent1y.
This being our unbiased opinion of the book.
1t IS unnecessary to say that we recommendi it un-
hes1tatingly. 1t is not a large book, but it is to
It's credit that it is brief, straightforward, giving
the facts with no words wasted. The standard
retail price is s 1-you can't get it from DR.. Bur
kett for less-but he has kindly made a special
rate to The Progressive Farmer by which we are
enabled to offer a copy Of the book, postpaid. and
a years subscription to The Progressive Farmer,
sent to any address for only $1.5O-so long as the
supply lasts. Only a small edition has been is
sued, and it is not unlikely that the present sup
ply will be exhausted within a few weeks. Remem-
Der: book alone is 81; a years subscription alone
is 81 We send both for $3.50. Order to-day.

this table that the Indians were not
