The round neck of the bodice is out
lined by a band of lace appliqued down
upon a fitted lining. Above its edge
glimmers a delicate tracery of gold lace.
Sprays of the tiny ribbon roses are
appliqued down upon this band and
these show nearly all the pale colors
beautifully blended. A narrow satin
fold below this band heads a scantily
gathered lace ruffie whose edge IS
stitched down upon another satin fCfd.

the lower part of the bodice little

HE new styles are so different
from those of last winter that
women are breathing a sigh OF
thankfulness that skirts and
sleeves were then so ample material
is thus provided with which to make the
change necessary.
In heavy materials yoke and panel ef-
fects are arranged in the tops of last
years pleated skirts so that the pleated
effect is removed and a fitted upper por-
tion achieved
The plan of gathering and shirring the
tops of thin skirts is still in vogue, so
that skirts so treated last year will do
now with a trifiing change of trimmings.
The shirring. however. is prettier when
given the effect of gathers at the top OF
a skirt, and not done in an underneath
tuck.
Folds are quite prominent in autumn
trimmings, and come in all widths from
a mere piping to one as wide as a hem.

In bulletin recently issued by the
Nebraska experiment station Professor
L. L. Hacker, the dairy expert, deals
with test to determine the amount OF
contamination of milk that takes place
during milking and it's control The
four methods tested were as follows:
o. SpOnging the cows udder with wa
ter before milking; (2) using ) per
cent solution of carbolic acid; 81 rub
bling with vaseline, and a. simply
brushing with the hand
A bacterial test was made of TIL,
above methods, and the results OBJ
tanned brought forth the following con
illusions:
Some means Of preventing milk con-
tamination during milking should be
employed.
The work required to sponge an ami
mails flank and udder is but trife,
and great improvement can be made
on the milk and it's products.
The acid solution costs cents per
gallon, which is enough to treat ten
cows. The only objections to this
method are the disagreeable odor aud
the bother of mixing.
The vaseline costs about the same as
the carbolic acid and serves as a good
preventive for chapped or sore teats.
1t is also to be recommended for cows
with short teats which have to be milk
ed by the stripping method. This treat
ment will not answer when the cows
have dirty udders.
The water treatment is to be recon-
mended for general use above the other
three, as it is cheaper and does the
work practically as we'll. This method
can be used on any farm with little or
no inconvenience, and the results oD-
tanned would more than compensate
for the extra time required.
In the comparison of cement and
board floors, cement showed less than
half the contamination of board floors,
and they are also much easier to keep
clean.
Milking out of doors in clean yards
or pasture gives better results than in
clean barns even under the best of con.
ditions
The records obtained in this expert
ment, while giving the desired COM
PARSONS, show conditions very much
above the average, for in all cases the
cows would be considered clean and

Preventing Milk Fever.

Every cow coming in with her third
calf or over shall be literally fed on
usual keep, according to time of year.
In winter she shall be kept in box,
loose, when expected to calve She
shall have one or two pints Of best lin
seed oil day or so before calving and
again twelve hours after calving, bran
mash an hour or SO after calving, with
chaff and hay for two days. The cow
and calf shall lie loose, but the COW
shall not be MIXED for at least forty
eight hours after calving. In the case
of dead or weakly calf about a quart
may be MIXED four times in twenty
four hours.
And this is the whole secret. To
many it may seem unnatural, but a
heavy milking cow is an unnatural ami
NAL And is it natural to take from a
COW just calved what the calf would
not take until month old? The strain
on the system in replenishing the milk
supply is, l think. the sole cause of
milk fever, together with the neglected
state of the bowels-John Gilbert in

Animals on tho Sea,

A scientist has made many interest
ing observations on the behavior Of
wild animals aboard ship. Those
species whom one should naturally
think would not object to a sea voy-
age are the most restless. The polar
bear, he says, is the only one that
takes to the sea, and is quite Jolly
when aboard ship. All others violent
~ resent trip on water and yocifer-
ously give vent to their feeling until
seasickness brings silence The tiger
whines, his eyes water continually. and
he r1bs his stomach with his terrible
paws. Horses are very bad sailors and
often perish on sea voyage. Oxen
are heroic in their attempts not to give
way to sickness. Elephants do not
like the sea, but they are amenable to
medical treatment. A good remedy is
a bucketful of hot water containing
three and half pints of whisky and
seven ounces of Quinine.

Using the Milk Test.

The Babcock test should be used on
every farm where cows are kept. The
milk of eat 4 cow should be weighed

At least one composite sample of
milk should be taken and tested every
month Che cow is in milk. Skim milk
and buttermilk should be tested fire.
