WET OR DRY FEEDING.
One Farmer Who Believes in tho Lat
ter Method and Why.

There are still some farmers that
feedbran, middlings or any other
ground feed wet. Some give as rea-
son for this that COWS eat it sooner.
That's true, and just what should be
avoided. The animals bolt it down
without chewing and mixing it with
saliva properly. Eaten in this way the
full value is not got out Of ground
feed.
A farmer who cooked the grain for
his cows once told me that certain
quantity of it would increase about
one-third in bulk by the addition OF
water and the cooking. 1t required no
arguing to convince me of this. He
did, however, not convince me that
the feeding value was also increased.
Made more palatable? Perhaps So.
But I am not sure of this, for we have
a striking example in human kind.
Some persons want everything edible
seasoned with half dozen different
kinds of spices, while others prefer to
eat grain, nuts, etc, raw. May it not
be, asks the writer in Farmers Re-
view, that when cows have not become
used to wet feed yet, they prefer it
dry? This is, perhaps, not easy to
ascertain, for though man may be a
hog at times, he can not become a
cow temporarily.
Another thing, if the ground feed
is fed as a slop in the managers, it is
very difficult to keep them perfectly
sweet and clean. Some feed in pals,
but that is a lot of work.
Some think that less is wasted when
feeding wet, for ground feed is blown
away easier. There isn't much in this
for some COWS will spatter wet feed,
too. 1t may be all right to feed wet to
old animals that have poor molars.
Ordinarily it does not pay to keep
COWS until they can not chew any
more.

State Will Not Stand Loss.

According to an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Gilbert, the state is
not a coinSurer with fire insurance
companies carrying risks on state
property. The ruling was made in re-
Spouse to an inquiry from the state in
surance commissioner who was asked
by r. E. Hall, adjuster of the Cont
mental Fire Insurance company of New
York, if the state would stand part of
the recent loss by fire on the Indus
trial School for Girls in Milwaukee.
Under a law passed four years ago,
the state is gradually assuming its
own insurance, and in a few years
more will not be carrying any in in
surance companies. AS the policies
expire they are not renewed, but an
extra allowance is put in the state in
surance fund to offset the increased
risks assumed. Three insurance COM
panies are still carrying $4,000 on the
Industrial School for Girls, and they
wanted the state to stand a pro rata
share of the recent loss Mr. Hill said
that if the state didn't stand a pro
rata share. his company would can
eel all of its existing policies on state
property.

Poke-Bonnets to Come.

There is more than rumor in mo-
distic circles in Paris that the old
fashioned poke bonnet of huge dimen-
sions is about to reappear, and will
be looked upon with favor this winter.
Whether or not the side ringlets of
old renown will be revived again to
meet the requirements of this par
ticular style of headgear remains to
be seen; but there is no denying the
fact that, provided it is fairly rein
stated once more, the whole style of
dress will have to be altered to bring
it into focus with early Victorian
ideas AS far as can be judged al
ready, the 1907 poke bonnet will be
carried out in fine silky beaver or in
drawn taffetas or satin, the latter pro-
viding at present the most popular
material for headgear in general. Like
all the newest forms of millinery the
brims will be lined with a different
color or with glistening white.

DESIGNS In SKIRTS
Draped Effects Are Taking the Place
of Flounces in Fashionably
Modelled Costumes.

Some say that the draped skirts are
intended to counterfeit the influence
of flounced effects, which some de-
signers feel have enjoyed fashionable
favor long enough. 1t cannot be de-
MED that they are adapted to greater
variety of becoming arrangements
than flounces, which at their scantiest
are looked upon with distrust by Wom-
en- no longer slender, though grace
fully dignified.
Some of the smartest draped effects
are raised at the front, appearing as if
the panel has simply been terminated
at the knees and left unstitched to fall
over a deep hem or fold OF a decora-
tive fabric or bit of lace. Again, the
drapery appears at the side and still
again one sees it falling to point at
the front perilously close to it's re-
sembIance to the old-faShioned over
skirt.
Those who are perforce compelled
to consider the practicability OF
mode before anything else will find
the stitched draperies both smart and
effective. They form self-trimmings,
or may be of velvet, MORE or even
simply simulated drapery achieved
with braid in slightly darker shade
than the material of the gown. Skirts
of cloth falling over petticoats of tat
feta finished with deep folds of MORE
or panne are used to embody some
very clever ideas by the leading dress
makers of Paris, and if the coat is of
dark color, the facing of the mounting
corresponds with the shade of the
coat
Dame Fashion gives Princess Marie
Bonaparte occasion for many fiatter-
ing compliments in color which has

binations except the very palest or
very darkest.

Claims Rates Are Too High.

Mayor James German, of Kenosha,
has filed with the state railroad COM
mission a demand for the investiga-
ton of the rates now being charged by
the Kenosha Gas & Electric company,
declaring in his complaint that the
rates are unreasonably high and un-
just. and that the company which is
affiliated with companies in Racine is
discriminating against Kenosha in the
matter of rates. For the past two
years there have been complaints
against the charges of the Kenosha
company and for this reason the
mayor decided to act. The matter is
to be laid before the city council at an
early meeting and it is expected that
the complaint from the mayor will be
seconded by a complaint by the city
council.

Hanuinu Pictures.

Often one finds a beautiful picture
on the front of a magazine or in a
book and it is either framed or fas-
tened plainly to the wall of ones
room. When frame is not desired,
the loose sheet will soon curl and be
unattractive, and one seldom can
paste a whole sheet evenly upon Carl
board to make the picture present
able. The best way to do is to get a
very heavy piece of cardboard and cut
an inch strip the width of the picture.
Paste strip at the top of the picture
and one at the bottom. The top one
supports the hanger while the lower
one is sufficiently heavy to keep the
picture hanging very smoothly against
the wall.

Costly. But Beautiful.

The bag these days is just as nee.
essary to the completion of a woman's
costume as her veil. She carries a bag
when you expect her to, and when you
don't; she carries the one you might
expect and the one which you never
dreamed. Bead bags are joy to her,
and to see them explains the reason
why. Some are not only beaded, but
jeweled, and they show both Powered
and conventional designs. Black bead
bags worked up in colored flowers to
match the gown, mounted in silver gilt
and having a chain of gilt links are
among the smart novelties. Then
there are the leather bags in the new
balloon shape in such colors as purple,
vivid green, burgundy, violet and tan.

EIizabethan Rufus.

One of the most curious of the sea.
sons fantastic developments is the
adoption of deep rufus or ruches at the
necks of evening gowns. The ruff col
larette, just closing about the neck
and formed of row upon row of tulle,
closely plated, has been growing
deeper and fuller for months. Now,
four or five-inch ruching is fitted into
the decolletage of the evening gown.
These ruchings are the nearest ap-
proach to Elizabeth's famous rufus
that have been attempted in many
years. The style appears to me to
have but one excuse or real use, name
ly the hiding of some physical de-
fect.-Harper's Bazaar.

GOOD COWS GIVE GOOD MILK.
But Feed and Care-Exercise a Strona
Influence Also.

There is a wide difference in the
richness of the milk of different cows.
Many dairymen still cling to the idea
that feed has more to do with the
quality of the milk than anything else.
and it is pretty hard to make them be-
Eeve that COW will give as rich milk
when fed on timothy hay as she will
when fed on clover or alfalfa. Prof.
Dean says that fat is the most vari-
able portion of the milk. 1t may vary
from two to ten per cent with indi-
vidual cows. The milk of the whole
herd seldom varies more than ne.half
to one per cent. from day to day The
chief causes of the variation in the
percentages of fat in milk are breed,
individuality, frequency of milking.
nights or mornings milk, period of
lactation, care and comfort of the COW,
and to very slight extent, possibly
the feed of the cow. The more fire.
quently the COWS are MIXED, the high
er will be the percentage of fat in
their milk. AS the period of lactation
advances, the milk usually becomes
richer in fat and total solids. The bet
ter care the COWS receive, the more
comfortable they are made, the more
favorable are the conditions for secret
ing rich milk. Also, whether the COWS
are stripped or not will also make
difference in the richness of their
milk. Proper manipulation of the I'D
der will also increase the percentage
Of fat in milk. Feed, however, has
very little to do with the richness of
the milk. 1t must be concluded that
the cow governs the quality or rich
ness of the milk, hence instead of try
ing to feed fat into the milk the work
Of the dairyman should be in selecting
and breeding cows that will give rich
milk. This is a very important mat
ter, and frequently the margin be-
tween profit and loss may be traced
to this very lack of quality.

Two More COMPANIES Withdraw.

Two More Companies Withdraw.
Two more life insurance companies
definitely have announced their with
drawal from Wisconsin. They are the
Union Central of Cincinnati and the
Massachusetts Mutual Both announce
ments were expected, though it was
supposed that the officials of each COM
pany were trying hard to find way to
remain. From the statements made
from the home Offices it seems that
they have come to the conclusion that
the new insurance laws are unwork-
able The Aetna Life Insurance com
pany. according to dispatch, will re-
main and give the new laws a trial.
The fact that this is stock company
puts it on plane with the New York
Life, which will remain, rather than
with the mutual companies which are
withdrawing. J. G. Albright, the gen
eral manager of the Union Central,
who was in Cincinnati in consultation
with the officers of the company re-
garding the situation, returned and
brought with him a copy of the letter
which the company will send to policy
holders.

CHARMING APRONS OF MUSLIN
Flowers Done in CoIored Shadow Work
Are Favorite Decoration for
Dainty Garments.

The most charming and dainty
aprons are seen made Of sheer mus
Inns, dotted swiss, prettily lowered
dimities and lawns with all sorts of
quaint designs and attractive color
ings.
Then there are the dainty aprons of
silk in pink and blue and all the pastel
shades, as well as the more useful
ones of pongee and natural colored
heavy linens.
Quite the daintiest and least diff
ficult to make are the dotted swiss
aprons. They are made both square
and pointed, with and without bibs.
The distinctive feature of the apron
is in the treatment of the dots. The
imported swiss is used and row of
dots outlining the edge of the apron
are covered in with silks in blues OF
pinks or lavenders. Sometimes a dou
BILE row of the dots are worked. The
effect is extremely pretty, and the
time it takes to cover the dots
amounts to very little.
The favorite decoration for the mus
lin aprons is flowers done in the col
ored shadow work, or a combination
of the shadow and French embroidery.
When serving afternoon teas these
dainty little aprons are most useful
and they would make a charming and
very inexpensive gift for Christmas.
The more expensive and attractive
of these aprons are made with bibs or
shoulder straps, and these are edged
with valenciennes lace or fine en-
broidery. The shoulder straps give a
dressy touch to the aprons and make
them much more becoming to the av-
erage wearer.

Would stifle Reform Move.

The price of beer will be advanced
in certain sections of the state-sec-
tions where the big brewing concerns
have gone after business by under
selling local concerns-but not in Mad
ison. That, it is said, is the decision
reached at the secret meeting of state
brewers at the Park hotel. Although
those who attended the meeting are
guarding closely all that was dis
cussed. the opinion prevails even
among local saloonkeepers, that the
session was called primarily to for mu-
late some scheme.

Badgers on Committees.

Badgers on Committees.
The Wisconsin senators had only
fair luck in the matter Of committee
assignments in the national senate.
Not one Of the important places held
by Mr. Spooner was given to either
Senator La Toilette or Senator Steph-
enson. Mr. Spooner is succeeded as
chairman of the committee on rules
by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania,
while Senator Fulton, of Oregon, gets
the place on the judiciary committee
formerly held by the Wisconsin man.
The Spooner vacancy on the finance
commi$tee-probably the most impor-
tant senate committee-is given to
Senator Hopkins, of Illinois, and Sen
ator Carter, of Montana, is named as
Mr.. Spboner's successor on the COM
mittee on foreign relations. For the
purpose of giving chairmanshiDs to
the new Republican senators it was
necessary to create four new commit
tees known as select committees.
Senator Stephenson is given the chair
manship of one of these new commit
tees, NAMELY, expenditures in the de-
partment of agriculture. Mr.. Stephen
son was assigned also to the following
committees: Claims, enrolled bills,
five civilized tribes, Pacific railroads
and revolutionary claims. Senator La
Toilette has the same committees and
the same craftsmanship that he had
last year. BY retiring from the claims
committee he was enabled to get a
place on the committee on military af-
fairs, which is regarded as a desirable
assignment.
