for their gloves, can be easily thrust
up to the elbow; while owing TO the

of the muff Is not required, it brushes
or wrinkles up on the arm to the de-
sired dimensions. Tails are placed on
muffs as trimming when the same
decoration is used on the collar that

Leaving out OF account fruit-growing
sections like the Santa Clara valley in
California, the foundation of the dry
farm should be mixed husbandry in
which stock raising is the leading fea'
ture. Many of the drought-resistant
crops are for forage. The experience
of the Sacramento valley has dem
onstrated that grain can not be grown
continuously. There must be some pro-
vision for restoring fertility TO the soil.
Furthermore, many of these farms will
always be remote from markets. and
live stock can be shipped to better ad-
vantage than grain OF hay. Poultry Is
one of the most profitable products of
the western farm, and chickens and
turkeys will pay as well in dry years
as in wet ones.
The dry farm should have. a larger
creage than either the irrigated or
humid farm. There should be land
enough to provide summer pasturage
for stock, and, as II takes from ten TO

The battle of the dressmakers over
the rival merits of the empire, the
Directoire, or the princess styles has
resulted, as such battles often do, in
each army withdrawing within its
borders, where 1t reigns supreme and
follows it's own bent. The princess
robe has still many followers, but it
cannot be denied that, even on an
impecable figure and cut by a master
hand, the princess robe has a hard,
stiff effect that is d~ispleasing to an
aesthetic eye. Far more graceful are
the long, sweeping lines of the modi-
fed empire or directoire styles which,
while defining the beauty of the fig
ure, yet leave something to the inn
agination, which is the secret Of sue
cess in every art.
A description of m of these
gowns seen displayed in one of the
principal stores is worthy of a place
here. The material of the dress was
of very fine drape souple, or satin
cloth, in the lovely mauve shade
known as elephant grey, which is
so much to the fore this season for
those who appreciate quiet tones The
skirt was quite plain excent for a
band of cloth above the lem, which
was cut into mitred tabs, piped with
elephant grey velvst, each tab being
adorned with a fiat button of the
same velvet. In front the normal
place of the waist was marked by the
pointed waist-band of velvet, much
braided with a fine old-fashioned mar
row silk braid in the same color; but
the waist-band narrowed at each side
and rose high at the back, where the
fulness of the skirt flowed out II

reserve food supply and seeks to pro-
vide it by growing Kafir corn, sor-
ghum, rye, hay and other drought-re-
sistant forage crops. The eastern
farmer finds these broad, rolling
plains, with their fertile soil and free

1t is believed that there are few To-
c~alities in the arid region where
enough water can not be had for the
irrigation Of one to ten acres on each
section. IL is remarkable how much
can be done with a little water where
rightly used.

farm will make 1t possible to grow a

TOOK TOO LONG A CHANCE.
English Banker Ruined by Bet on
Forty Days of Rain.

There were a few frenzied ~financiers
in England at the beginning of the
eighteenth century, if the banker Bull
hot, of whom the following story is
told, can be taken as an example. The
feast of Saint Swithin, July Is, 1925,
was a particularly wet and stormy
day.
Trusting implicitly in the old super
%stition, which says that if it rains on
Saint Swithin's day it will rain for
forty days thereafter, Bulliot opened a
pool for everyone who was willing to
bet against him. The affair attained
so much notoriety that the wager was
reduced in writing.
IF dating from Saint Swithin's
day." reads the memorandum, sit
rains more or little during forty days
successfully. Bulliot will be consid-
cred to have gained; but If 1t ceases
to rain for only one day during that
time, Bulliot has lost"
For two weeks 1t continued 20
shower every day, and SC confident
did the banker become that he &C.
cepted as stakes not only money but
gold-headed canes, jewels. snuff boxes
and even clothes. When his cash gave
out he offered notes and bills of ex'
change. Another week passed, and
Bulliot's star was still in the ascend
ant.
But when the twenty-second day
sank into the west bright and cloud
less, the unfortunate banker was

reservoir which is being built will not
be used unless necessity arises to
save the crop, but it will always be on
hand for that purpose. Supplemental
irrigation is the insurance of the dry
farm, whether, the water is confined
to intensive cultivation of a small
tract or used in emergencies on larger
areas. Used in either way. its value
Is so great that farmers need only an
understanding of methods to secure its
general adoption.
The office of experiment stations Is
now studying two phases of this ques-
'tion: % Cost and methods of pro-
viding a water supply. and t2) the
tools and methods for the distribution
of the water and the cultivation of the
soil to secure it's economical use. Bull

these lines will be published from time
