A NEW FOOD VEGETABLE.

Good Points.

From time to time within the last few
years items have appeared in the pub
lie press about new species OF po-
tato, ON which experiments have beer
in progress. So much that is wonder
full and unexpected is done nowadays
in the way OF plant breeding and cross
fertilization, that ii is hard to startie
the public; statements regarding the
virtues and value of the new tuber have
therefore met with ready acceptance.
It would appear, however. from paper
contributed to Cosmos (Paris), by NJ
Jules Rudolph, that the new potato is
not yet quite ready for the market

Late Spring and Summer Styles
ASTER has come and gone,
but in our minds we yet pic
ture the gay gowns that were
sported on that pleasant day.
The holiday came late

and what appeared then was NO expert
ment. -
One of the most marked features was
that the whole costume was harmony,
hat, gown, gloves, parasol, all the same
shade. And this is welcome change
from the bizarre contrasts of recent
times. To be sure, the one color scheme
obtained last season, but it is now more
than ever in evidence.
Mauve is favorite shade of the pres
ent, and, when becoming, it is one to
be- selected for the dressy costume; for
plain street suit it strikes us as rather
the wrong shade. We confess distinct
liking for the shepherd plaids for walk
ing suits, they look so neat and trim,
and suggest practical fitness for rough
wear. Of course, there are cheap mod
els in the check: suits, ILL fitting, poorly
cut; but those that are well made are
extremely chic. We noticed one the
other day that was worn by a young
! matron out for a stroll with her chill
dren, two rosy, sensibly dressed young
sters. The pretty mother had on ashort
| dress and short Elton of black and white
Panama cloth, short enough SO that it
did not have to be held up in crossing
the street. It was very bouffant about
the ankles, and out from the full
ness peeped trim patent leather. low
shoes with gray spats. The hat was

white veil, the gloves were summary
gray. She looked as neat, as well
gowned as could be, much better dressed

FORCING FOOD FOR cAlv6.
Suggestion for Feeds Which MayR
Used % Substitute. Tor the
I Cows Milk

The Pennsylvania experiment sta
ton warns farmers to 90 slow on using
the various '.calf meals on the mar
ket, which purport to be milk substi-=
tutes for young calves. While they are
undoubtedly valuable as a supplement-
to a skim-milk ration, so far as the
writer is Informed they have not proven
success as complete milk substitutes.
Moreover, they are very expensive, the
price ranging from SIS to 500 per ton
American writer's, in discussing milk
mended hay tea. While this may do
very we'll for calves four or five weeks
old. as cited by Stewart in some obserya
tlons made by him, the writer is lot
aware that it has proven a successful
substitute for calves that were much
younger, while the difficulty Of prepar-
ing food Of this kind makes it imprac-
tlcable except under unusual circum-
stances.
In England calf-meals are fed by
nearly every stock-grower, and, as a
large part of the milk produced in the
Kingdom is sent to the city for imme-
date consumption, the calves are put
upon calf-meal ration at as early an
age as possible. Many calf-feeders buy
the commercial calf-meals, while some
of the Most progressive farmers feed
meals of their own mixing. AS the in
gradients employed in the manufacture
of these calf-meals are kept secret. as
far as possible, the composition of the
| most successful milk substitutes is not
generally known. In some cases a
| chemical analysis has shown them to be
composed largely of haxseed meal and
llnseed oil-cake meal, with a little
fenugreek or fennel seed added TO give
a characteristic odor.
In the work at the Pennsylvania sta
ton reported upon, the writer took for
his basis at the start formula. recon-
mended by one of the agricultural col
leges of England. This formula is as
follows:

The directions were: Take two and
One-half pounds of the meal as a days
allowance for each calf; scald with boil
ing water, afterwards adding more wa
ter, so as to make two gallons from the
weight of meal; add little sugar, and
salt before feeding. 1t should gradu-
ally take the place of new milk after

In shirts for afternoon dress for this

shades instead of being a breach of good
form, are, on the other hand, rather ex-

tial that the collar should be made on the
shirt, but the opening-preferably of the
coat style-should be in front only, and
the cuffs should be attached. Turned-back

called the regulation shape for formal

certainly be considered correct.
The fashion in neckties, at least so far
as shape and style is concerned, has
changed none whatever. The leading haber-
dashers are showing a variety of silks,
satins and crepes of beautiful texture and
design, in dark puppies, dark green, black
and white effects, deep browns, grays, etc,
but. among the vast assortment, no one
color or design seems to be particularly in
