The wreath Of buds and foliage
about the crown at the base Is all that
is needed to complete the hat.
A leghorn in Fig. shows the under
brim covered to within an inch and a
half of the edge with dotted net in
pale blue. A big puffed crown of the
net is draped over a wreath of hy-
drangeas, which grows wider at
the back. where it climbs to the top
Of the crown. Very little Of the upper
brim is visible and the crown Of this
hat is almost wholly concealed. On
the crown the net is draped over plain
chiffon trifle lighter in tone than
itself. This is another excellent de-
sign for hat which is to be remod-
eled from one that shows signs OF
wear. JULIA BoTToMLEY.

coTToNsEED MEAL FOR EWES Goo" on."r r"o wRE EFncE
Alabama Experiment Station Makes
Test and Secures Quite Favorable
Results From Its Use.

Particularly In the south many
farmers feed nothing but cottonseed
meal and .hulls to pregnant ewes,
while others avoid cottonseed and its
products, claiming that they cause
blindness, dizziness and sometimes
death. To test this point flock at
the Alabama experiment station was
divided into two lots, one of which
was fed upon soy beans alone and the
other upon cottonseed meal and hulls.
No uad results were found from either
feed. Both lots Of ewes came to the
lambing period in excellent health
and spirit, but those fed on cottonseed
meal seemed more alert and spirited
than the soy-bean lot. Noty ithstand-
ing these favorable results in feeding
cottonseed meal, some caution is nee
essary in feeding it. Recent inyesti-
cations b. Ol. Crawford of the depart
ment of agriculture indicate that cot
tonseed meal contains a salt Of pyro-
phosphoric acid which may cause seri-
GUS trouble. Probably some kinds Of
cottonseed contain this poisonous
matter in larger amounts than others,
which may account for the facts that
some feeders have had trouble and
some have not. Unless the seed fed
has been tested in some way, only
small quantities should be used at
first. During four years work at the
Alabama station no Ill results have
come from the use Of cottonseed meal
as feed for sheep, save possibly IN
one case in 1906. In the experiments
noted above the total gains per eve
for the entire period of 106 days were
1.8 pounds for the cottonseed lot and
1.s pounds for those fed on soy bean
hay. The animals averaged about 95
pounds in weight.

for Cleaning Up Weeds.

c. M. Evans, superintendent Of col
lege extension work at the A. and
M. college of Texas, has an inquiry
as to the chief uses Of the Angora
goat, and under what conditions
would he advise the growing OF
same? Mr.. Evans answers that the
chief uses are:
1. The production Of mohair.
2. The production Of mutton.
8. Clearing land of noxious weeds.
4. Clearing land of underbrush by
browsing.
The Angora goat originated in
Angora. Asia Minor, and is small
goat of especially fine silky hair.
The greater number Of the goats Of
the United States have been imported
from Asia Minor. Turkey and South
Africa A great many of the finest
goats in the world today may be
found in the United States. scattered
from Texas to Washington.
Suitable prices for mohair have not
generally prevailed. This is proba-
bly, explained by the fact that large
number Of the goats which we have
today are cross-bred goats gotten
by a top cross Of Angora on the old
short-haired Spanish goat This has
not only caused a shortage in the
length Of the fiber, but has caused
great deal Of kemp to be found
over the body Of the fleece. Kemp
is a coarse straight hair found scat
tered over the body, and Is objected
to by millers because Of its coarse

to a great extent by a market classih'

Goat mutton has been usually OBJ

out the south. Goats seem to have .
preference for weeds instead Of grass
and a few goats vii! readily clean
farm of weeds, thereby doubling
the grass yield per acre and at the
same time will actually make q
profit off the weeds.
Goats are especially fond Of under
