Coming Coiffures.

Coming Coiffures.
There's the medieval hairdressing.
1t is parted, brought down over the
ears and braided in two plaits. Each
one is then wound in a disk over each
ear. For evening jewels and metallic
ribbon are braided in with the hair.
Then comes the style in vogue in the
early Victorian period. The parted
hair is drawn down and placed at the
back of the head quite far out. A ban
deau holds the mass high up above the
nape of the neck.
Curls hanging at each side of the
head have returned to favor. This
style is suitable for the youthful type
of face.
The wide, soft undulation is firmly
installed in favor.
A Psyche knot shows the Grecian
tendency.
Above all, your own hair, without
the aid of "rats" or rolls, must be al
lowed to show what a soft natural
treatment will do for you.

Dairy Herd
Management.
BY n. r. Patterson, Montana
Agricultural College.

+
In nearly all dairy regions it is gen.
orally understood that the future herd
of the dairy farmer depends entirely
upon the ability of the farmer to raise
good calves. This is especially true
in this state because Of the climatic
conditions. It is generally under
stood that animals that were raised
and developed in some Of u Eastern
states will not do their best when
brought to Montana. However, 1t is
possible, of course, to pick up a good
COW once In q great while, but the
man who expects to build up a dairy
herd of superior merit must necessar-
lily raise his " stock. It is for this
reason that we wish to encourage the
raising of calves. Nowadays the
man who sells cream Or he who sells
butter cannot afford to feed whole milk
to his calves for any length Of time.
The calves should receive, however.
whole milk for about ten days. It IL
necessary that the new born should
be fed colostrum, Or the first milk
WNICu udIuA0 Ado pISPoAeu ! q oP0
cial way for the cali. Colostrum IL
very rich in protein, containing from
five to six times as much as normal
milk. 1t also contains twice az much
ash. It's sugar content is lower and
it's fat content Ia on the average about
normal, although sometimes it is con-
siderably higher. After about the
first ten days skim milk may be grad
ually substituted for whole milk. This
change should be made at the rate of
about a pint at each feed. AS we be.
gin to substitute the skim milk for
the whole milk we should begin to
feed flax seed meal. This feed should
be fed in the raw state or after it has
been cooked into a cruel with water
A COY that is to be the best milkel
must have a large capacity for rough
age and the sooner the calves stom
achs become extended from the use O
this %roughage the better. The cal
should be kept growing but 1t SHOULD
not be allowed to become fat. A cal
that is covered with large amounts 0
fat usually makes a poor dairy animal
The heifers should be bred so as t.
calve by the time they are from tw,
years to twenty-seven months of age
They ought not to be more than tw'

years five months old at first calving,
because if allowed to run too long be.
fore they are bred they are prone to
get into the habit of laying on flesh.
Then again if the animal is bred when
very young it brings out the dairy
qualities and also makes an excellent
mother. If a heifer calf is not fully
developed it is sometimes wise not to
breed her the second time until four
or five months after calving. This
will afford her an opportunity to go
dry about three months before c~alving
the second time and still she may be
MIXED nearly ten months. Nearly all
dairy authorities recognize the i'm.
p~ortance of milking the heifers for a
long period of time, that is, If we in.
tend to train our heifers for the dairy
we should make the milking period al
long as possible. The training that
she gets then will be retained.
We have been asked a large mum.
Der of times what is the best ration
to feed a dairy COW in order to get
the best results. It might be said that
there is no best ration" The dairy
man must determine this for himself,
as the individuality of the COW will
vary. The farmer will be guided
largely in his feeding operations by
| what is raised on the farm. The rule
| that should be observed 10 to raise
crops that he can produce most eco
nomically and If he has to purchase
foods the price of the different prod
ucts as compared with their protein
content will be his guide. A balanced
ration should be given to the COW,
that Is, the ration should contain a
certain amount Of protein. It has
been estimated as the results from q
series of experiments that a COW
weighing about 1000 pounds and al
actual work in the dairy should re-
ceive about two pounds Of protein pei
day. A larger amount of protein thar
this means waste, while a smaller
amount will not furnish the COW sui
hciently to maintain her body at thu
best working condition. Not only l:
the feeding necessary and valuable II
the management of the dairy herd but
we must provide shelter in winter TO-
all of our animals. They must b.
kept comfortable and should never b.
unduly excited. It is not a good plal
to allow our dairy cows to drink waite
at a temperature of 80 degrees F
during the winter months. AS a gen
eral rule the dairy cattle should re
ceive water but once a day during tn
winter and it Is urged at this TIM
that the water be heated to a temper
allure Of 1902 degrees Fahrenheit.

COAT SUITS FOR
SPRING WEAR.
Style Favors Hip Length and
Wide Turnover Collars.

According to latest fashion informa-
ton the newest thing in coat suits is
described thus: A narrow skirt with
practically no flare at the hem and
with the straight side seams stitched
in two laps. one Of which is cut out
and crossed over the other at the
depth of eight inches from the edge
of hem.
The coat reaches just a little below
the hips. has a wide turnover collar,
which reaches half way to arm, and
long, wide revers, which run well be-
low the bust. The fastening is at
the waist line and is decidedly double
breasted. There are three large satin
buttons and three knotted loops of
heavy silk cord.
The novelty in the cut Of this O is
the use of a peasant top, which in
cludes the shoulder and sleeve cut in
one. This top reaches to the bust in
front and to the shoulder blades in
the back. 1t is Joined to the lower
part Of the coat by a narrow strip OF
black satin, to which the two edges Of
CAVlu oAS 0tllSuCu. ANS "OIAON "
cutting resembles a bodice with a
yoke, yet the straight lines from
shoulder to hem r maintained and
the effect is good.
The sleeves in the jacket reach to a
trifle below the elbow, are straight and
rather small and finished with a wide
turnover cuff of heavy venetian lace.
This material is repeated at the neck
In a wide turnover collar. which is laid
over the larger n Of the coat fabric.
The suit Is of foulard, which the
French tailors are using a good deal
instead Of serge or linen. The model,
however, a be copied in any Of the
lightweight materials and will look as
well as it does in silk. One would
not wish venetian lace cuffs on a lin
en- or serge suit, yet they could be
substituted by satin or striped silk.
