Pink for evening dress is lovely this
year. Recently there was worn at

Of pale pink and pale yellow, the ma
terial shot silk. The trimming consist
cd of little touches of pale pink velvet.
Tie chemisette was sheer lace over
pink chiffon, and close about the neck
lay two strands of pale coral beads.
Another gown we think worthy of de-
scription was one that could be copied
with old material about the house, or
rather the lining might be. The out
side was black chiffon, which of course
would have to be new and fresh; the
foundation was black satin. A band
Of silver braid bordered the skirt, the
gi1dle was of silver, and there was
silver-embroidered chiffon scarf draped
as a fichu. Such a dress as this would
be stunning for the girl with shining
raven tresses.

At ball and rout nowadays one is in
doubt whether the ladies have on reg
ulstion evening gowns or whether they
are appearing in tea-gowns supposed to
be for home wear only; so much like
the old-fashioned negligee appear the
empire dresses of the present. These
dresses, however, are really made by
artists, are not simple house gowns.
The fronts of the skirts are gored to
give them style, and after one has
looked twice one decides they are very
graceful and proper gowns for the pub
lie eye. Soft velveteens make up beau
tifUlly for these, and can be obtained
in delectable shades. Without doubt
the empire modes will greatly affect
spring styles
And speaking of the future reminds
us that it is going to take more and
more goods to make the fashionable
gown. Bodices are close-fitting, sleeves
are smaller, but oh, the skirts! the way
they demand material.
Our illustration may seem rather
elaborate, but the models need not be
copied exactly, we simply desire to
show the prevailing styles in evening
dress. Note the wide, but not sloping
shoulders of the empire gown, and the
length and voluminousness of the skirt.
The draped bodice of the second model
is of latest mode, and also that of the
remaining figure.

The short skirt is vanishing, save

what her station in life, what her re-

Turning the Tables.

Many years ago. before the produc-
ton of grain was equal to the demand,
wages of farm hands were high, but
as production increased the prices low
cred faster than the rate Of wages. A
farmer employed an Industrious Irish
man for five years, at the rate of
$50 a month ''and found''-board,
lodging, washing and mending At
the end of the term. he said to his
man: Il can't afford to pay you the
wages l have been paying. You have
saved money and have saved nothing.
At this rate you will soon own my
farm" Then I'll hire you > WORK

"and no horns means quiet. docile
cattle and placidity in mixers is as
important as acidity is bad in milk. :"
"That stall-less stable seems to be
going back to first principles" said
the younger Wise, who wasn't a

you have said that it has progressed
little from the old-fashioned cow shed
where the job of milking was one to

That's right sonny. You keep that
up and nobody will sell you any gold
bricks; but you'll miss good thing
once in awhile unless you temper it
with common sense. Now the fact
that a big man like Mr.. Hall and a
great institution like the Illinois Col

cold weather. We can try this plan
and build temporary milking room
at one end, and after a trial if it does
not suit our ways Of doing business, it
is easy to go on and finish with stalls,
cutters, feeding racks, etc. In the
meantime let us give it fair show.
We have lots of good bedding ma.
terial. That is one of the requisites.
You must scatter straw plentifully
over the whole floor every day. When
convenient we will haul the accumula-
ted manure to the fields. Prof. Hall
says to sprinkle ground rock phos-
phate with the bedding daily is good
way to apply this fertilizer to the
land. as the decaying humus sets free
the phosphorus and makes some of it
available the next season. We must
put in a water stank, so that cows
can have fresh warm water all winter
and ample exercise without going out
doors at all, except in bright warmish
DAYS. We shall build feed rack
through the center for roughage and
to divide the space into two parts,
one for the waiting COWS and one for
those that have been MIXED. A gate
connects or divides these apartments
at will. Just think of the labor saved
in milking 80 cows. We will build
six milking stalls, so that while three
cows are eating the exact ratiors
given, we can be milking the other
three. Now here is a rough sketch
showing how we must go about it. .
The enthusiasm Of the old farmer who
became a dairyman to save his farm
from running down in fertility was
contagious. and soon all the family
had adopted the stall-less stable on
probation, says the Farmers Voice.
They drew exact plans and figured out
with the girls help how much lum-
Der would be needed of each size, and
so interested were they in the new en-
terprise that they sat up to very I'M
dairymanlike hours.

THE STALL-LEss STABLE.
Farmer Wise and How He Decided
to Build Cow Stable Without
Stalls or Fastenings.

All through the pleasant fall wealth
er Mr. Wise and his two sons MIXED
their ten cows apiece, sometimes out
in the lot, but on rainy days in the
old barn, where the cows were led in
and turned loose singly They did not
wait for winter to force upon them the
need for better protection, but began
making plans for new dairy barn
even before the 20 head of grades and
the three thoroughbreds were added
to their former herd of seven, who
were mainly of that breed known as
'just cow
They had talked COW stable until
they had well-nigh exhausted the SUBJ
ject. Every variety of cow stall and
cumbersome and expensive. The rigid
stanchion was discarded, as it pre-.
vented freedom of movement. None
was entirely satisfactory.
One evening early in October the
old man looked up from his paper and
said: "See here, boys, l think I've
struck just the thing. Here is a de-
scription of stall-less stable, where
the COWS move about at liberty. No
ties, no stalls, no cement floors, no
daily cleaning out of cutters, no waste
of liquid manure, no labor required in
fastening or christening; and last
and best, no dirty cows"
Il think you left out one no." re-
marked the elder boy. "Such plan
as that means mo horns"
"Of course" replied the father.

ATHENA, MARCH. Q, 1906

The Press has accused Wood of be-
ing all sorts of mean things--all of
which he justly deserves and more
but it has never questioned his stand
ing politically. He may be the incar-
nate emblem of ingratitude; the per-
sopifcation of pure cussedness; the
ignominious tail end of many a
shaft, dipped and STEPPED in the stag
nant pool of vile satire, smudged with
a soiled velvet touch of vindictive
repartee; grotesque physical hulk of
colossal egotism-all this, but demo-
crat always. And yet the Portland
Journal classes Wood and his paper
republican. The Journal says:
THE Weston Leader, a republican
newspaper, rises to ask what's the use
of all this fuss about signing state
ment No. | when no one but re-
publican can be elected to the United
States senate anyhow? In return it
may be asked what's the use of all
this republican fuss over it then?
The fears, the qualms of conscience,
the dreadful thought that the federal
constitution may be violated, sets the
republican organs ghost dancing.
They Immediately place themselves in
the indefensible position that the
legislature is an autocratic body alto
gether beyond the reach of the popu
lar will

consideration that the privilege re-
mains with them to support it or not !;

tions are as woefuly misunderstood as
