portance Of this fact is realized when
it is considered that now the thou
sands Of lambs that die in this coUn-
try every year are complete losses
Nearly 600 curly, Iustrous black
lambs bearing valuable furs had ar
rived on the Kansas fur farm from
April l. One hundred and fifty OF
these were from half-blood KarakuIe-
Lincoln rams on Lincoln and Cots
void ewes. The pelts of these lambs
were hardly distinguishable from
those of the purebred Karakule on
Lincolns and Cotswolds. This fact.
and the further fact that only five OF
the $50 were white and three spot
ted, are considered the most imp0T-
tant Of this years results. inasmuch
as it proves that a half-blOOd Kara
kule ram which can be bought for
$3.50 will bring lambs with pelts al
most as valuable as a purebred Kara
kule which sells for $1,000 to 81 200
Sheepmen, therefore, could get start
in fur production on a very small in

teristics the Karakule sheep has ex-

GREEDY HOGS ARE
MOST DESIRABLE
Breeders Might Well Devote
Themselves to Developing
Appetite Instead of Points.

The Oregon agricultural station has
found out by actual feeding tests that
the hog which eats most greedily is
the most profitable Thirty pigs were
divided into three lots, the heaviest
eaters in one lot, and the others grad
ed according to their capacity for con-
Stunning feed.
A hundred hogs like the heaviest
eaters, at the rate OF gain made and
present prices, would make a profit Of
s297.65, or almost exactly 50 a head
A hundred like the poorest feeders
would have made a profit Of $115.65, or
only q little more than a dollar a
heaG They were evenly graded as
to size and sex If there is this great
difference between the heavy eating
hogs and the light eaters-and most
hog growers win agree that the breed
ers might well devote themselves to
breeding appetite in hogs, instead OF
color or fancy points II the Ape
lite makes the profits, breed appetite.

The very long and moderately full
tulle veil was arranged in a cap for
the head, with a wreath of orange
blossoms set just back of the gathered
fulness at the front. The short face
veil is thrown back, falling free from
the head, but the remainder Of the
veil falls from the cap, into which it
is gathered across the back Of the
head
The bouquet of white orchids with
ley lilies was provided with the usual
pendants Of ribbon and sprays Of
flowers, the longest reaching to the
bottom Of the gown
The gown may be taken as a lovely
type of the regulation bridal dress
with a concession to the present mode
in the hanging of the skirt and the
open, uncovered throat The sleeves
were rather full and long. It is a
splendid achievement, and the rare
lace that adorns it ought to outlast
generations Of brides. 1t looks as II
it might have been chosen with the
idea Of treasuTing some memento OF
the gown, which adorned the bride,
upon the great day in her life.
This. and others Of the trousseau,
are worthy the study of women who
refuse to follow exaggerations in style.

exquisite taste and a keen sense OF

daughter. But a review of the gowns
made for her, and other members of
the bridal cOrtege, reveals an adapta-
ton Of the present modes to indiyid-
ual taste and refinement that is in
teresting to every one.
The most noteworthy feature about
all the gowns was simplicity. In a
season of conglomerations and elabor
atoms that often arrive at the stage
Of business and shapelessness the
gowns of Miss Wilson's trousseau
were simple in design and yet con-

Here is a picture Of the bride, pho

gown is of ivory white satin, made
with long train, and the lines OF the
skirt unbroken except by a fat appli-
cation of magnificent point lace The

TT is interesting to note that bathing
caps, designed along entirely new
lines, are taking the place Of simpler
caps Of rubberized cloth made all ex-
actly alike and without any reference
to becomingness. The new caps are
Of silk and many of them intended to
be worn over close-1tting rubber caps
which provide the real protection to
the hair.
A pretty and strikingly original
model is pictured here, made OF tat
feta silk, which is about as satisfac-
tory as any material to be had for
bathing caps and suits. Women un-
derstand now that getting down to
actual swimming and managing to
look well when emerging from the va
ter are two entirely compatible things.
But the cap and the suit worn are
matter that demands serious atten-

more. A town without at least one
swimming pool for women Is about as
much behind the times as a house
without bath tub. No woman should
miss the benefits and pleasures OF the
simplest and pleasantest of summer
sports; and one does not need to be-
long to the leisure class to enjoy the
water. It happens that water is a
commodity possessed by every COM
munity.
The cap illustrated is made OF a
piece OF silk folded over and stitched
in one seam. 1t is made to ut snugly
about the head and finished with a
narrow hem. Two tabs Of silk ara
tackled on at the sides by way Of max
ing the cap becoming.
There is 2 great variety in caps and
suits to choose from this year. The
fabrics are inexpensive, and any one
with the average knowledge of sewing
can make them.

WORK KANSAS MUssEL BEDS
Shells Are Being Gathered by Ma
chinery in Neosho River
Near McCune.

The NeCshO river has become i'm
portant in the pearl button industry.
The musseI shell beds near McCune
are being worked by power barges
which were launched recently. Last
year an Iowa manufacturing estab-
Iishment discovered the large beds
in the Neosho and hand operations
were conducted during the summer.
This year plans were made for oper-
aticns on large scale. Two barges,
each &c feet long and feet wide,
were built here
IN the river operations the barges
are coupled together. One is used
for the fishing" of the shells and
the other for storage and transpor-
tatiOn.
A gasoline engine in the operating
barge furnishes the power to run the
machinery a big mechanical rake
with many hands" reaches down to
the bottom Of the river and gathers
the shells and eIevates them to the
barge like a farm hayloader putting
hay on a wagon. Men pick out the
good shells and put them in the stor-
age barge, which holds four tons.
The Fishing" machine will work in
water up to fifteen feet in depth. A
big stern wheel is used to propel the
craft.
