MARKETING BUTTER.
Reputation Counts for Much In Sale
Of This Product.

Reputation Counts for Much In Sale
Of This Product.
Reputation counts for much in the
sale of butter. It does not take long
to make a reputation. II the butter
maker has learned how to make a uni
formly good product, he should seek
q direct market, catering to customers
who will appreciate the quality. It is
. mistake for the beginner to contract
his product for a term Of years at a
low price, because his first output
goes slow. Sell the first on the open
market for what it will bring. When
the quality is secured, put your own
brand or trademark on It and as far
and as fast as possible deal direct
with the consumer, and expect the
market price when you have mastered
the art of making a uniformly high
class article.

Serge Dresses,

0SE90 0ToS8o8s
Serge dresses in practical designs are
now staple merchandise. says the Dry
Goods Economist.
Navy blue is far in the lead, with
black a close second. Dark brown
models have been included in the or
ders, and there are strong indications
Of this color coming to the front as the
season advances.
In some Of the smartest models pin
stripes and small checks are used with
plain materials. These combination
models show the waist in solid color
with a plated skirt developed in shep-
herd check. usually showing dark COL
ors.
For instance. a dress with q brown
/ waist will have a brown and black
checked skirt. or the black waist will
have the black and blue, black and
green or black and white check.
Models buttoned down the center or
side front. with Robespierre collar.
fancy jabot. long sleeves and bright
colored girdle. belt or sash are the big
eest sellers.

the BELT IS NOW
VERY IMPORTANT
It Forms a Conspicuous fea-
ture Of the OireCtolre Costume.

The belt is an accessory that for the
past few seasons has received but lit
tie attention. Today the important
place it occupies cannot be %overesti-
mated. 1t has even invaded the realm
Ut tailor mades.
The d%irectoire coat is supplemented
with a R~obespierre sash that is fasten-
ed on the left side. Then there Is the
cheyenne belt. This is quite narrow
and, If ribbon. the lower edge is finished
with barrel fringe and is fastened with
silken cords. AS a general rule, below
the belt is seen a narrow frill Of the
same material as the blouse or corsage.
The Swiss belt, that is particularly
becoming, Is making a bid for favor.
the newest idea being to have it made
Of a Powered silk. the design picked
out with stimuli gems.
Patent leather belts r to be en-
countered everywhere. The one and
half inch widths are the most popular.
They are so useful in introducing the
contrasting color note.
For instance, a navy blue skirt, &C.
companied by a blue and white strip
ed shirt, is seen to great advantage
with a cerise patent leather belt and q
bow Of the same shade.

Wide GirdIes.

Wide GirdIes,
Wide girdles are clever expedients
by which any bulk around the waist
is eliminated. and therefore the pan
nier draperies or the fullness of f1chus
need hold no terrors for slender women.
Wide girdles are folded over shapes
that show pointed underlines. They
are slightly round and in some unique
models are cut up in squares around
the waist line.
They are extremely high and resem-
BILE the paintings that were made Of
Mines. Pompadour, Du Barry and 9th
er court beauties.
Velvet, satin and silk are used for
girdles. and they are fastened under
girdles of quilting or shirring, under
ornaments of silk flowers or under
rows Of colored buttons. They are
a delightful relief and offer opportunity
for a contrast in color on a dressy
gown.

WINTER WHEAT PROTECTION
Thin Covering Of Straw Found to Be a
Success.

In the favored portions Of Montana
fall wheat ordinarily yields twenty
i've to forty bushels per acre. There
are at hand many ewell authenticated
reports of yields ranging from forty to
seventy-f1ve bushels.
Winter protection, by using straw
to cover the wheat lightly after the
ground is frozen, has been success
fully practiced. One farmer reports a
yield OF twenty-eight bushels of fall
wheat OF twenty acres covered with
about two tons of straw per acre,
where the uncovered portion of the
field was a failure through winter
killing. Better use the straw stacks
for covering the wheat fields than
burn them.
