How to Make sleeves.

The scare about sleeves has settled
into pretty general conviction that the
woman who wants long sleeves can
have them and be secure in the
thought that she is ahead of the fash
ion, and that the woman who wants
the short sleeve is welcome to it and
may wear it with sure comfort that
host of persons counted among the
best In the land are with her. Long
sleeves, wrinkled their entire length
and coming over the back of the hand
are here, as 1t was predicted away
back last summer that they would be
this fall. They are, as rule, of gauze
or lace and match the yoke of the
gown, while an upper sleeve more oil
less brief is of material like the bod
Ice or it's trimming There are no end
of double-sleeve shapes, The ways OF
such sleeves are so many as to defy
EXPERIMENTATION, some of the upper
sleeves being mere caps or bands.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENcE7
The Good Cow and the Poor Cow Eat
Practically Same Quantity OF Fooo'

Two COWS stand side by side in the
stable. To both cows the same ration
is fed, yet one will extract from thal
food as much again butterfat as
the other. The butter product OF the
food is 100 per cent greater with one
COW than the other. This fact is seen
in too great frequency in all herds oil
COWS. What is that inner quality
whereby one COW can produce SO
much more than the other from the
same food? asks Hoard's Dairyman
1t is hard to find the right name toi
it, but it may be called dairy qual
ity." Now, certain breeds OF eattle
are distinguished for this quality
They have the power to accomplish
this work in greater proportion ano
perfection by reason of having beer
bred to that purpose from long lines
of ancestors of like quality. one
would think that there would not be
a dairy farmer in the land who would
not be keenly alive to the necessity
and economy of using such cattle FOR
dairy PURPOSES. AS SUM "OuiU ~
think he would cut hay with reaper
and call it the best way.
But the so-called general purpose
notion has destroyed in not few
men the power to look into this ques-
ton in an economical way, says the
Farmers Voice. They seem to be I'M
able to take the same advantage in
their choice of cow machinery that
they do in choosing their mechanical
machinery. They cannot be fooled
into taking a pillow for cultivator,
yet thousands of farmers will spend
their lives in trying to make COWS OF
beef breeding do dairy work. If they
were close students of cause and
effect" they would not be beguiled this
way.
Why should not the farmer be a
close student of cause and effect?
