GOWNS WILL BE GAY.
Color and Brightness VIII Rule I'm
the Costumes of the Conn
ing Season.

The world Of fashion is getting away
from the plain tones and the somber
blacks and whites into the realms of
color and brightness, reports the Brook
lyn Eagle. All embroideries are done
In the natural hues and the little dots
which were once in black and white are
now in bright blues and gaudy reds. 1t
is not that woman has grown loud in
her tastes, for many of her gowns are
made of black material, but only that she
is exhibiting her naturally artistic taste
in her own gowning.
The day of the haggy blouse front is
long since past, for, no matter how full
the bust may be, the waist must not sag
over the belt. On the contrary, the belt
is very neat article of dress, and holds
the waist snug and firm. The fullness is
all above the belt line, and the effect
must be that of full figure, rather than
baggy, slouchy one.
A feature to be brought prominently
forward for winter is the yoke collar,
which is collar so deep as to form
yoke. This is cut out of heavy material, so
as to keep it's stiffness and shape, and it
is made with points that fall over the
shoulders; not flappy points, but small,
neat ones that fit the shoulders well.
There are very pretty yoke collars,
which are cut with deep pieces at front
and back, and shoulder projections. The
front extends down in long piece, which
comes to the belt, making sort of plas-
iron front.
1t is very smart to trim the yoke col
lar with few large pearl buttons and to
stitch it around the edge, but there should
he no other trimming. Others are en-
broidered in white around the shoulders
and down the front, with deep cuffs to
match.

COMPOSITE STOCK FOOD.
Which Cam Be Preserved for
Any Length of Time.

In Germany, in connection with some
Of the slaughter houses, has been COM
pounded stock food, that, it is hoped,
will become both popular and useful.
1t is compounded of the chaff or
hulls of grain finely ground, the husks
of peanut kernels, molasses and steam
dried sterilized blood. A per cent Of
phosphates is also added to the prepara-
ton.
These ingredients are thoroughly
mixed and dried, and-a~certain portion
OF molasses (Which has been heated
to make it more liquid is added. After
this has been well mixed and dried,
another portion of molasses is added,
and after the final mixing and drying,
the preparation is ready for the market,
and is sold in bags of 165 pounds
weight at $275 per bag, retail. The
chaff is imported from America and
the molasses is the product of the Ger
man beet sugar factories. The dried
blood meal, it is claimed, contains 20 to
% per cent. of protein and fat, while oats
contain much less. The assurance is
given that this preparation can be pre-
served for any length of time, and that
1t will not deteriorate with age.
In feeding horses and beef cattle, it is
advised to begin with one-half pound
per day, increasing to FIVE or six pounds,
and decreasing the use Of other food &C.

any, from gnawing it. Bars are spaced
about four inches for last, six inches
for second, nine for third, eleven inches
for the upper one. Three-inch strips
are bolted on each side of the bars at
the ends with 5-16 bolts, two bolts in
each end of the upper end of the bar.
At the hinge end these bolts should
hold the hinge.
On one side of the bars a long tie
comes from the top of the gate at the
hinge end to the bottom of the other
end This is also bolted through the
bars On the other side two narrow
strips are placed so that the bolt goes
through the tie, bar and one of the
strips. The gate is hung with hook
and strap hinges. The upper hook goes
through the post with nut on it. The
lower one is driven into the post and
one of the strap bolts goes through
the Upper end of the long tie, SO pre-
venting the gate from sagging.

Permanent sheep Pasture.

The value of permanent pasture
for sheep has frequently been overes-
timated. While it is undoubtedly true
that a pasture of this kind will support
more sheep than temporary field of
grass, it is also true that sheep should
be utilized largely in cleaning up stub
BILE fields, eating rape sown in oats in
the spring, and running In cornfields
after the husking. BY this means fer
tility is much more evenly and profita-
bly, distributed than If the sheep were

Farmers Right to Game.

If a farmer feed potato plant, a hen
or COW on his own land the proceeds
from these things should belong to him.
No stranger has right to come on his
farm and dig the potatoes, milk the COW
or shoot the hen. Now, when farmer
feeds flock of quail or a partridge or a
rabbit on the same farm has he not, in
justice, an equal right to these animals?

The Germ Theory.

The discovery of the germ theory is per-

of medicine, the discovery of the stomach

Exhaustive experiments on guinea pigs
have made it clear that mankind cannot
be well without serums.
But such is the character of serums that
nobody will take them unless he is
frightened.

scares into more people than all other
theories put together.

manage to have any health to speak of,
