hand-PaInteA Gowns.

Hand-painted evening gowns, scarfs,
various toilet accessories and the new
methods OF painting on silk and velvet
which recently came into use are quite
popular. The paints, which are ap-
piled with a brush In the case of silk,
are specially prepared. so that, once
dry, they remain indelbie and will
stand both washing and ironing.
For velvet the mode OF application
is similar to that when one is icing a
cake, tiny paper bags OF paint being
squeezed between the fingers. A cou-
pie of lessons In this kind OF painting
are all that are necessary.

Too many dairy farmers believe
that feeding dairy cows will make the

are practicing an exclusive system OF

Dairy cows do not have the ability
to make something out of nothing
The highly developed special purpose
dairy cows. the most profitable pro
ducers, cannot be kept In a northern
latitude without a liberal supply oi
grain food. II we had pasture grass
at all times OF the year II would be DIFF
ferent; but dairying has so far made
more progress In colder climate
where 1t is necessary to house the herd
and feed them inside during the win
ter months.
A great change is gradually coming
over the dairy business. On the ma.
5ority of farms the dairy business has
In It's fullest and most profitable de
velopment, been built up largely upon
a basis OF cheap grains and CONNER
cial oy-products from the grain pro
ducing states.
In many dairying sections in the
eastern and middle states where milk
production Is the leading branch of
agriculture, the plow has been largely
laid aside, the farms converted into
the growing OF hay and ensilage. the
great gain garden of the west furnish
ing the main elements required to
make milk. Is this the most profita-
bic type OF dairy farming to develop
In other sections? Shall dairy farm
ers be content to utilize their expen-
sive land for the growing Of hay and
ensilage corn, increase the number OF
cows kept on their farms and depend
upon the grain growing states to fur
nish them with large portion Of their
cattle foods? This is a question that
must be worked out before a man can
adops any definite policy In the build.
Ing up OF his dairy business.
The constantly increasing demand
for these feed stufYs and grain feeds

to dairy farmers. Should this induce
