TRIAL OF HOPPER FEEDING
Test at West Virginia Station Shows
Egg Production at Lower Cost
Than Other System.

In bulletin 1870 of the West Virginia
station report is given of trial Of
the hopper-feeding system for poul-
try, which was installed in order to
save labor. In years test, with five
pens of white Leghorns, the cost of
food varied from GO cents to $1.04 per
fowl per year, and averaged 80 cents
per fowl for the 100 fowls in the ex-
pertinent.
The egg production varied from
S1.4 eggs per hen, when fed principally
upon corn, to 24.7 in the pen which
received whole grain once per day,
scattered in litter, and dry mash and
beef scrap without limit in hopper.
The food cost of the eggs during year
varied from 8.5 cents to 11.9 cents per
dozen. Two pens, hopper fed, pro-
duced eggs having a lower food cost
than the pen which received moist
ened mash, and in this test there was
apparently no benefit from the extra
labor involved in moistening the mash.

DECREASE IN BEER DRINKING

Less of Malt Liquid Consumed In
This Country.

The statement has been made b.
the Liquor Dealers association that
there has been an increase in the con.
sumption of whisky in the United
States. The internal revenue report
does sustain this claim. There has
been an increase in the manufacture
of distilled spirits, but a much larger
proportion than ever before of dis
titled spirits is going into different
lines Of manufacture, and into trade
other than for use as a beverage.
Concerning malt liquors, the pre-

internal revenue commission shows q
decrease of over 100000 barrels OF
beer consumed in this country during

Taupe Velvet.

wrap Vivid In color are the new
wraps of velvet and brocade and very
vOluminous in drapery. Oriental de-
signs have been followed by the cou-
turiers in the matter of drapery, and
while the shoulders and sleeves of the
draped velvet, brocade or fur wraps
are loose and baggy in effect the
swathed silhouette is emphasized by
the cut of the lower portion of the gar
ment.
One wrap particularly noticeable
was of all-white ermine, with draped
effect at the hips. Around the bottom
of the coat appeared thick fringe of
ermine tails. There was deep,
square collar of the ermine, trimmed
with a fringe of the black tails. The
loose, baggy sleeves were trimmed at
the lower edge with fringe of the
tails.
Another wrap was of moleskin
draped around the shoulders in cape
effect There was a shaped piece, ex-
tending from the shoulder line almost
to the waist, of gold lace and Orien-
tai embroidery finished by large gold
tassel. A huge muff of the moleskin
accompanied the cloak.
Another handsome afternoon cos
tune was of black velvet trimmed
with skunk. The coat was one of the
new three-quarter length models with
loose, baggy sleeves set in, much on
the line of the evening wraps. There
was a large collar of skunk and mar,
row bands of the same fur edged the
coat Between the bands of the fur
were applied braid motifs. A wide
band of braid was appliqued on the
bottom of the skirt, In front APP
peared two rows of buttons and braid
loops.

taupe silk brocade and broadcloth
combined. The jacket was of sill
