noon gown Of panne velvet shows an
adaptation of modes to material that

The use of the new fur-cloths, light.

The bodice and sleeves of the model

sleeves are long and close fitting about

and extend In a rounded point over the
hands. A rufle Of the material,
doubled, finishes the edges Of the
bodice at the front and acros the
back. In many dresses Of mapped or

are used for finishing edges.
The upper part Of the skirt is set on

nature of the soil. The all-important
question. therefore. is, to so construct
and care for these roads that they
may be kept in a reasonably good con-
dition, and at the least outlay that
will effect this end.
1t goes without saying that when
constructing a country road 1t ought
to be put in condition that will read
lily take away the water that falls.
Without this no road car be kept IN
a proper state. It should be wide
enough to admit Of the easy passing
of two loads Of hay on racks, and 1t
should not be OF unnecessary width or
height in the center, When laying
out this road 1t is usually plowed to
the desired width. What that width
may be should vary somewhat. In
the Judgment OF the writer 1t does not
need to have a width of more than
40 feet. In most instances the road
bed is made all too wide. Oftentimes
It is made 60 to 10 feet. Where is
the necessity for a road being so
wide? When this wide, 1t is much
more liable to rut, since the water Is
much more liable to lodge in any de-
pressions that may occur as the result
Of traffic.
The road is rounded up nowadays
by the use of the road grader. The
saving of labor in this method Of road
building as compared with the scra-
per is very great. The roadbed should
be SO shaped that the highest point
should be along the line Of the CEN
ter, and the slope should be gradual,
till the sides Of the bitches may be
approached, when 1t may then be
much more abrupt. The bitches
should be deep enough to carry away
the water readily. 1t is not necessary
that they shall be any deeper.
When laying out a country road, at
tention' should be given to the
straightness of the lines made by the
plowman. II he makes burrows alb
solutely straight on outer sides OF
the roadbed 1t will remain straight
for all time. The roadbed will in It.
self have an attractiveness that ia
pleasing II for no other reason than
that It is absolutely straight. The
necessity for very deep bitches on the
sides is not apparent, and there is nc
necessity for having the crown Of the
road unduly high.
When the soil roadbed is thus made
the next important matter is to sc
manage It that It will give the great

BIG PROFITS MADE
IN GROUND GRAINS
GIuttonous Animals Swallow
Much of Their Feed With
out Masticating 1t.
(By M.

Where stock eat the grain in its
natural and unbroken state, 1t is very
seldom masticated Is thoroughly as II
should be. Most animals are naturally
gluttonous and In their haste to con-
sumo grain they swallow much of it
without crushing or grinding It.
This Yields a detrimental effect on
the stock that is two-fold. The grain
in this solid condition cannot impart
proper nourishment to the animals
and the digestive and assimilative or
gans will be overtaxed and impaired In
their efforts to convert this coarse feed
into substance that will build up the
tissues Of the body.
Aside from those two detriments vi
must consider that unground feed
causes a waste by passing, whole and
practically unchanged through the ami
NAL. or II the stock do eat an amount
large enough FROM which sufficient
n~ourishment can be extracted, 1t means
about twice as much as must be fed to
be converted into bone and muscular
tissue. =
The failure Of. the stock to masticate
unground grain will also cause a lack
Of digestive secretions or Juices SO es-
sential to this process; then, in order
to supply this deficiency, the animals
have a craving for water, and a large
quantity is thus consumed-much
more than is necessary-and yet this
enormous amount of water has not the
desired effect In promoting digestion
as do the natural juices that should
have been brought down by thorough
m~astication.
On the other hand. where the grain
Is ground before feeding, 1t is fine and
dry, adhering to the animals mouth
when 1t takes a bite, till 1t has to
chew before 1t can swallow. This
avoids the drawback above mentioned.
and by the grain being well crushed
it insures thorough digestion; later, It's
pulverized condition renders it imme-
diately available for the assimilative
organs to convert into nourishment-
bone and muscle-without o~vertaxing
any Of the organs Of these two sAs-
TENS, and at the same time It will rem
der less Of this ground feed necessary
to keep the animal In prime shape.
Other important features in favor OF
grinding grain for feeding purposes
are: II is easier to handle than the
whole grain; II fed in the proper re.
! ceptacles the stock will not waste as
much of It as Of the whole grain; tho
manure formed from It will be of finer
texture. more easily and quickly made
available for the rejuvenation OF soils:
in case the crushed grain is corr on
the ear, which is our staple feed In q
vast orn belt area. part OF the cob is
rendered digestible and a great econo-
my In feed Is thus brought about.
It can be measured more accurately
at feeding time than whole grain, es-
pecially the corn on the ear. and this
Is most important as II enables one
to be more regular as to the amount
Of feed given each ANIMAL which will
promote regularity in the digestive
and assimilative systems and promotes
a healthy, vigorous development Of all
the tissues. :

GOOD
GOOD ROADS IN RURAL AREAS
Important to Construct Earth Roads
That They May be Kept In q Res
sonably Good Condition.
fBy PROF. O SHAW

By PROF. THOMAS sHAW.)
In its bearing on rural life the good
roads question stands in the very
foreground. The question Of the high
er and more expensive grades of roads
will not be discussed further in this
paper than to say that the men who
are urging their construction in lead
ing centers are rendering their coun-
try a most important service. But
the building of these cannot become
general for a long time to come owing
to the expense OF building them. In
Britain all the roads are good where
soever they may be found, but 1t took
centuries to build them and they were
