Faehion Notes,

Soft polka-dotted foulards are very
good for general wear shirtwaists.
Many of the new broadcloths show
polka dot designs in graduated sizes.
The polka-dotted goods are in one
color, with darker dots on lighter
ground.
There is no doubt that the sea-
son Of 1909 will show polka dots in
quantities.
Nearly every material is invaded
by the polka dot design, usually in
the color Of the gowns.
The ribbed Ottoman silks will be
much pushed the coming season, as
all Of the Partisan houses are using
Ottoman ribbed silks.
Some broadcloths have wide ver-
tical stripes, and others barre stripes,
ranging from hair-line stripes al one
edge and four-inch stripes at the 9th.

Pongees will be popular for waists.
A pretty pongee waist, displayed
among some new models, was entirely
tucked all over the 'front.' with the
back perfectly plain.
A new crepe satin, new material
sold under several different names, is
being used for handsome costumes
for afternoon wear. II has a wool I'll
ing and q lustrous satin surface.
White pique waists and those OF
other heavy white materiass are
shown for fall wear, built on the new,
different lines; that is, with scant
tight-ftting sleeve and broad shoul-
der.

Utilizing Wastes.

Farmers past middle life can re-
member when wheat bran was not
considered a staple product, but rath-
er the waste part of the grain. And
that was when more Of the strictly
nutritious elements were left in the
bran than at present. But now, when
bran is almost literally only the "over-
coat of the whoat, it is so much in
demand as to make it factor in the
market price of wheat and an impor-
tant part of the dairyman's feed sup
ply.
The latest by-product to assume
Importance as feed element is mo-
lasses-the old despised and rejected
"blackstrap" or "nigger heel" of the
southern cane plantations. Molasses
feeds under various names are pro-
duced in immense quantities now,
and yet the supply scarcely keeps pace
with the demand, so popular have such
feeds become.
For some years the beet sugar fac
tories of Germany have been distrib-
uting thir residue to the dairies, in
tank wagons, and the dairymen pur-
chase it in small or large quantities,
as they demand, and mix it in with
their feed, or what is more common
with them, put it in the drinking
water of the cows.-Epitomist-

cuffs of silk, but all the suiting mate
rials and all those used for separate
Jackets are correct, so that the coat
can be used for linen, taffeta and the
like and made available for the late
demand of the summer as we'll as for
the heavier fabrics Of the future.
The coat is made with fronts, back
and side-backs. The fronts are fitted
by means of darts at the shoulders,
and the back is arranged to form
pleats at its edges, which are Tapped
over onto the side-backs. Pockets
are inserted and finished with laps,
and there is regulation collar with
lapels at the neck. The cuffs are pret-
tily shaped and allow effective use Of
banding or contrasting material.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size is four and a

a half yards forty-four or two yards
fifty-two inches wide, with one-half

Eight Gored Skirt.

The gored skirt that Is relieved of
severity by some arrangement OF
pleats at front and back Is among the
very latest to have appeared. This
one is charmingly graceful, yet quite
simple, and is adapted both to the
house and to street wear. The prin-
cesse style will be favorite one for
long time to come, and is much to
be commended wherever 1t is found
becoming, but there are figures to
which the one of regulation kind is
better suited and the skirt can be cut
off at the waist line and finished with
belt If desirable. In the illustration
serge is finished simply with a
stitched band of the material and
with handsome buttons on the front
panel. All fashionable materials that
are heavy enough to be made in so
simple style are appropriate, how
ever.
The skirt Is cut in eight cores. The
back gore is arranged to form a box
pleat and the front gore is laid in
pleats that give the box pleat effect
and conceal the seams -
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is twelve yards
twenty-four, ten and a half yards
thirty-two or five yards forty-four
inches wide when material has figure

Care For the Dry Cow.

On farms where dairying is not
made speciality there is often dis
position to let COW shift for herself
after she is allowed to go dry, and
she is compelled 10 share luck with the
other animals in the lot and shed, no
consideration being shown her be-
yond the allotment of hay or fodder
and letting her help herself to water
when she can have access to it.
This is not the best for the COW nor
for her owner. After giving milk
Trough the season and being again
'ar along in CESSATION before she was
dried up, it is not to be supposed that
she has laid up any surplus fat, there
fore she needs warm shelter If she
IS to be comfortable and get the most
ont of the food she eats, for first Of
al 1t goes to keep up animal heat.
IL must be remembered, too, that
she is eating to support her unborn
calf as well as herself, and her ration
should therefore be generous.
Give her all she will eat of roughage
and supplement this with reasonable
amount of grain, for, remember, you
viii get it all back again when she
gets to milking, for any feed she gets
above the support of her own frame
and the growth of the calf will be
turned into esh and fat, which in turn
III be converted into milk when she
ileshens.
Aside from this consideration the
calves, if the dams are we'll fed, start
in life with the best show possible
and are not puny weaklings which
may or may not live and amount to
dairy COW.
Many a man who keeps cows and
complains that they do not pay has
himself to thank, for the poor half
starved things after they have dropped
puny, undersized calves do no good
till they get on grass, and the best OF
the season is half gone before they
have recurerated sufficiently to give
a good flow of milk.
Not long after the COW has begun
TO "pick up" the flies come, then
shorter pastures, then the milk de-
creases and soon she is dried up to
go through another winter of semi
starvation.
Take the best Jersey or Holstein and
she cannot make milk from nothing
and would soon develop into scrub
and give only a scrubs yield Of milk
if starved and neglected.
In addition to the feed and shelter
advised at the beginning of this arti-
Gle give the dry COW lot of exercise
in where she will not be disturbed
by more active and younger animals
for as she advances in pregnancy, she
becomes more uncertain in her move
ments.
Watch a COW heavy in calf and see
how deliberate she is in her move
ments, and yet she is sometimes
placed at the mercy of steers and
colts if she must share yard in COM
mon with them, and accidents fire.

Eelnn and Doinr.

Many of us are in that primary and
saddening stage of living when our
chief need is to be delivered from the
narrowness and emptiness of our
selves. Does not all idle gossip and
all idle interest in idle gossip point to
this? Our little brains are so emp
tied of interest and occupation that
we listen eagerly to the small and
petty squabbles Of hotel owner and
its manager or to a detailed account
of young woman's wardrobe. Now
thinking, and the reading or studying
which prepares the mind for think
ing, do much toward delivering us
from sordid interests. 1t presents us
with more data to deal with, and the
more material we have to work on,
the wider our outlook, the likelier we
are to come to a stage where our
thinking shall be productive.-Har-

The question is repeatedly asked,
which is the more profitable, the duck
or the hen?" in order to decide this
matter, an enterprising poultry man
made a test. The result is reported
as follows:
At week old the ducklings weighed
four ounces, while the chick only
reached two ounces At two weeks
old the duckling reached nine ounces,
and the chick got up to four ounces.
At three weeks, duckling one pound;
chick, six and quarter ounces. At
four weeks, duckling, one pound and
nine ounces; chick, ten ounces. At
five weeks, duckling, two pounds and
two ounces; chick, fourteen ounces.
At six weeks old, duckling, two pounds
and eleven ounces; chick, one pound
and two and half ounces. At seven
weeks old, duckling, three pounds and
five ounces; chick, one pound and sew
en- and a half ounces. At eight weeks
old, duckling, four pounds; chick,
one pound and twelve ounces. At
nine weeks old, duckling, four pounds
and eight ounces; chick, two pounds.
So it can be seen that in the same
time the weight Of the chick was dou,
bled by that of the duck. The prices
for dressed carcasses run very close
to each other; SO that the increased
price per pound makes the profits on
the duck greater, although it takes
about twice the amount Of food to
grow them.-Weekly Witness.

Green Food,

People do not know the value Of
wheat, rye, wheat screenings and oats.
They all feed them, but how? The ma
jority of the poultrymen feed those
grains dry 1t is all right for the lit
ter to make hens scratch, but those
grains can be fed to more value and
of more benefit and success, to the
men and fowls both. We poultrymen
all believe that fowls need green food
as well in winter as in summer. For
this | believe grain is the best for
green food; but how? This question
can be easily solved. Good grain as
named above, If soaked in wash tub
with very warm water for Is to "a
hours, and then the water taken off
and the grain left in moist condition
for five to seven days, will soon ger
inmate and begin to sprout. The guam
tity of grain you put to soak will swell
to four times its bulk; that means you
will have four times as much as If
fed dry, so it is saving for the poul-
tryman. After "a hours the water
should be taken of and the feed put
into a shallow box with holes in the
bottom. 1t should be kept moist and
turned twice day. so it will sprout
evenly. This sprout is the best green
food for all kinds Of fowls, especial
ly for chickens in close confinement.
1t will act as the best green food and
will brighten the comb and plumage
and start them to lay much earlier
than If fed without; and it will make
the eggs more fertile. The best time

Food for the Sow.

The food of the SOW at breeding
time should be of cooling nature,
should never be used, because it is
heat producing, The great trouble
is that the ignorance of the average
breeder has caused him to select COM
pact refined sows, which he has fed a
ration consisting almost if not entirely
of corn. Some breeders believe that
If SOW is bred early in heat she will
raise mostly SOW pigs, while if late in
the heat the opposite will be true, but
1t is not probable. The SOW at the
time should be in good condition,
