RESTING PERIOD FOR A cow
From Six to Eight Weeks Is consid-
cred About Right for Good Dairy
Animal, Says Hoard's.

1t Is considered better for cow and
her calf TO give the COW a rest be-
tween her periods Of lactation, says
Hoard's Dairyman. From six to eight
weeks is considered about right for q
good dairy COW. 1t is not wise, how
ever, to force persistent milker dry.
Care must be taken at this pc
riod or there is danger Of the udder
becoming caked and permanently in
jured.
With a COW that persists in giving
milk IL months In the year 1t is
we'll to decrease her ration and give
her nothing but dry feed when she is
nine and a half months along in her
period OF lactation-that is, If she
has been bred TO calve II months
from the beginning of her period OF
lactation. AS a rule, 1t is not difficult
to dry a COW off If proper attention
is given at this period.

LINEN SUIT Is ESTABLISHED
ITS Worth and Utility Recognised
VIII Be Less Plain Than That
Formerly Worn.

Now that the linen suit has demon
strated TO admiring femininity its alb.
solute essentialness. most women at
this time of year begin to take an nc.
tive interest in linen samples, listen
10 hints on fashionable colors and con-
suit modistes as to the latest styles
Judging from the early models al
ready shown, the linen suits for next
summer will be decidedly less plain
than formerly. Even the most sim.
PIE styles will have little touches TO
relieve the plainness. and the finer
linen tailored costumes will be very ell
egant indeed.
Most suits are cut with quite high
waist line. Often the coat Is rounded
In front or in cutaway style. Some
times IL fastens over at one side with
two or three fancy buttons. or perhaps
just one ornament.
Tannish brown linens will be fash.

IMPORTANCE OF TIE BARREL
Business Part Of Dairy Cow Should
BE Well Rounded and Long--Less
Should Curve Out.

The DARRELL Is the business part of the
COW, hence it should be we'll rounded
and long The ribs should be far
apart and we'll sprung The back
should be long and slightly arching.
The long tail is simply an indication
of a long spinal column. The legs
should be curved out in order TO give
ample room for the udder between.
This should be square, well set behind
and extending well forward. The teats
should neither be too long nor too
short, and set square on the four quar-
tiers. The texture of the udder should
be like that of soft glove, so that
when 1t is MIXED out, IL would col
lapse. The whole form should be
wedge-shaped. No one OF these points
taken alone is safe guide; taken
collectively they are safe to indicate
a good COW.

FASHION IN FOOTGEAR
SEASONS STYLES PRACTICALLY
DECIDED UPON.
High Boots, Presumably Of White
Leather. Are to Be Worn This
Sumr' cr-colonial Type Of
Shoe 10 Retained.

Just now everything Is unsettled as
to the question of dress, but fashion
In boots and shoes seem TO be decided
upon.
In shape. the comparatively short
vamp and the rounded toe will be pre-
ferred TO the long and exaggerated toe.
The heel will be smart medium rather
than the Louis or the Cuban, and fash
ion will at the same time favor the
former rather than the latter style.
At present II Is expected that the low
shoe will be worn in preference TO
all others. and this. of course. means
that fine silk and embroidered stock
ings will be in vogue.
The suggestion that high boots will
be worn in summer is made quite seri-
ously, but this can apply only 10 white.

that is likely TO be fashionable is call

new touches. Many women think that
this type is the incest of all shoes.

TRACED BACK TO ARrIIANS
Delivers In History Find Beginnings OF
the Church steepIe Reach Far
Into the Centuries.

There Is a theory which finds the
spire of the New England meeting
house in the mountain peaks OF Ara
bia.
Tracing back the process OF evoiu-
ton. we come first to London. where
the clean sweep of the Great Fire gave
Sir Christopher Wren his opportunity
to experiment In steeples; and then 10
Venice. where the campanile Is
shining example of a tower beside a
church but separate from IL; and then
to Alexandria, where the famous ilght-
house on the Isle Of Pharos confirm
uted to the religion Of Mahomet ootn
the form and the name OF the minaret:
and then TO the Tower OF Baoei al
Borsippa, and the zikkurats OF the
temples of Babylonia and Assyria.
A zikkurat is n huge quadranguiar
mass of brick, rising in diminishing
stories-as a child places n big block
on the floor and puts smaller one
on 1t. and on that n smaller still-and
assembled by a winding balustraded
stair 10 a shrine on top.
This. according to the theory. was
the ritual equivalent Of a mountain.
Into the fat lands between the
Tigris and Euphrates came the ances-
tors of the Babylonians and Assyrians
out OF the mountains Of Arabia. There
they had worshiped the storm-god.
who dwelt upon the heights among
the clouds. with whom they COM
muned. like Moses. by climbing up and
making their offerings and saying
their prayers upon the summit.
And because there were no noun
tains in their new country they erect
ed beside every temple little noun
tain in the yard. Thus the zikkurat
and then the minaret, and then IT,
campanile, and then the steeple OF
the parish church.-Atlantic
