The Best Week i'm Il Cows
LactatiOn.

1t is often of much importance
to know at what time in a cows
lactation she is liable to make her
best record, as the different live
stock associations favor animals
coming within a tested list.
In order to obtain a large num-
Der of records. the Nebraska EX-
pertinent Station co-operated
with the Minnesota Station and
together 259 complete yearly
records were available. Out of
this large list,which was made by
cows of various breeds and ages,
a table was compiled. 1t was
found that the second and third
weeks of a cows lactation in mos,
cases proved to be the best. The
records also showed that a co
reaches her highest butter p',-
duction at an earlier period IN
lactation than she does her great
est milk flow. A. l.. Hacker.

material under the arm, an advantage
not to be overlooked, for 1t insures
perfect smoothness and no creeping

in so many shirt waist lines. The
model is very simple to make and Will
be most satisfactory when made OF
any of the usual shirt waist materials.
One of the very smart skirt models
with shaped flounce upon the bottom
is a good one to wear with the shirt

Linens In Favor.

Who among the purchasers of the
beautiful embroidered Irish linens and
lawns shown in such variety this year
pauses to think of the peasant girls
in the remote districts of the Emerald
isle, whose handiwork they are?
These linens, which are even more the
vogue in England than here, come in
all pleasing shades-pinks, green's,
blues and Irvine color. The designs
wrought on them include sprays Ut
shamrock and floral patterns. Nina
ture trefoil, worked in the snatural
green on white, gives an extremely
dainty and cool effect. Queen Alexan-
dra and the princess of Wales are
much interested in Irelands linen in
dustry and the countess of Dudley has
also done much to increase it by popu-
larizing the product. 1t was point
of honor with many society women to
don gowns of embroidered linen Oh
the occasion of the royal visit to Irs-
land.
