COSTLY ARTICLE OF RAIMENT
Many Reasons Why Astraehan Capes
May Only Be In the Wardrobe
of the Wealthy.

In making a cloak or cape Of fine
quality the center Of the saddle only
is used and very large number OF
such strips, perfectly matched in curl
and degree of blackness, are stitched
together to make a complete garment.
The rest Of the skins, the legs, sides
and other inferior parts, are used for
less important purposes, such as lin
ings for gloves, shoes and other ar
ticles. In CHASING the various skins
the jet-black ones are considered the
best. The gray ones are also used
in their natural color, but the fawn-
colored skins are generally dyed black
and used in Persia, though now a large
number of dyed skins are also pre-.
pared for export Prices are so high
that even inferior skins fetch good
sums from the dealers.
Besides the first cost Of the skins
as they come from the lambs backs,
several other items go to increase the
cost to the wearer. There are, for
instance, the expenses of preparing
the pelts for transport and the mule
freight from Shiraz to Resht, some
60 to 70 days journey by caravan,
very heavy item. The continually in.
creasing taxes levied by the Persian
government for permission to export
the skins must not be forgotten in
calculation. Every now and then the
willy Persian government puts an en-
barge on skins, the ostensible reason
being the ever-increasing price OF
meat for food, but this is only an ex-
cuse the real object being to squeeze
as much money as possible out of the
dealers, for bribery plays very large
part in the astrachan trade.-Christian

Remembered Thrifty Teachings.


A woman who was left TO the task
of bringing up two small children be
gan early to train them to consider
necessities above all else. They
could always look back to a home
brimming with comfort, although the
furnishings were simple enough. They
had warm clothing in winter and thin
clothing in summer, and as they asso-
ciated with the children of wealth
they must have been thoroughly pre-
sentable. Habits are strong, but
sometimes they can be broken. The
son was the first to go out into the
big world and be easily learned new
ways of spending. The daughter pre-
served her sensible. thrifty ways to
the last and she is drilling them into
children of her own by teaching the
value of a bank book in addition to
what she learned in her own child
hood.

STILES BELIEVES

Says Country Can Grow Feed and
Has Pure Water Which are the
Two Essentials.

Butter Maker Has Found Proper
Spirit.

WANTS PEOPLE TO BOOST

Everett G. Stiles, new butter max
er at the Bemidji creamery, believes
that Bemidji is destined to be the
center of great dairy country. The
creamery will open for business April
1 and in the meantime Mr.. Stiles has
been out in the country interviewing
the farmers and getting a line on
the prospects for the coming season.
He is enthusiastic and believes that
it will soon be possible to operate the
creamery the year around.
In an interview this morning, Mr..
Stiles said that the farmers he has
interviewed are all of the opinion
that in dairying may be found the
future of this country. He says that
they all seem enthusiastic over the
fact that they have a country so nat
urally adapted to dairying.
"There is an abundance of pure
sweet water" he said, "and soil
second to none for producing clover,
alfalfa, timothy and corn fodder for
winter feed. These two are the main
factors in dairy country. AS soon
as the native timber is cut off and
the land freed from brush an abun-
dance of grass can be made to grow
among the stumps for summer pas
ture.
"The amount of feed that can be
raised on five or ten acres is surpris-
ing. If the ground is properly hand
led and s..'nted to corn fo,.. . ten
acres will winter several COWS. The
feed will be especially valuable if left
to stand until almost matured and
then put in a silo. Cows fed on en-
silage do not lessen in milk produce
ton during the winter months when
prices are highest and the farmer
has the least to do.
ut would be we'll for every farm
er with five or six COWS to look we'll
into the proposition of raising feed
enough to fill a small silo and then
up a small silo this summer and be
prepared for winter milking. There
is bound to be dairy future so why
hesitate about starting? The ex-
perimental stage of silo building is
passed. p.
eff the dairy and creamery bust
ness does not pay, why is it that there
are over 1000 creameries in this
state today paying millions of dol
lars to the farmers? The people who
do not boost for the local creamery
are short sighted for it is only
through such an institution that the
dairy business can be put on it's feet.
"Let each one determine to boost
the dairy industry. If we live in
town we are not out of reach Of the
butter ring and our boosting in time
will be effective a4.=-- .,,-~-.. = s. t-s K

When jury foreman tremblingly
