Pleasing to the Mother as Well
as a Delight to the Small
Wearer,

Even the little tots are dIsporting
themselves in the contrasting material
costumes that we're so much In vogue
in the eighties. The fashion has one
thing to recommend it, and that is its
economy where old clothes are to be
made over. Part of James and Of
Milly's frock would make q quite new
looking suit for Milly. Or a good skirt
could be made to serve duty for a tu-
mic of new material AS every mother
knows, children are hard on their
sleeves.
The tunic in the patterns may be
made with either long or short sleeves
and with arplain hem or a scalIoped

woman two patterns for the price of

The material used here is a striped
and plain gingham, and the blouse is
stitched to the waistband and worn
with an outside belt. For dress wear
there should be a dainty white lingerie
collar.
Now that grown-ups wear plated
and gathered dresses the small ladies'
want to do the same-or their mothers
want them to. which amounts to the
same thing. Perhaps the, prettiest

tion we must leave with breed enthu-
siasts, says writer in an exchange.
Considerable proof can be adduced
by both sides, but in the final analysis
the question resolves itself into a
choice of individuals within the breed
and their development, due considera-
tion being given to the buyers per.
sonal preferences and opportunities
of purchase of good individuals.
We would hesitate to dispose of a
good producing herd of one breed and
replace it with another without giving
the matter most careful thought. The
disposition of the milk, the prices the
surplus animals will bring, and the
cost of making the change should be
fully considered.

PRETTY ON THE NIGHTGoWN
Hand Embroidery ls to Be Recon-

Hand embroidery is a very salts

women who haven't the time nor the

FEEDING CALVES SOUR MILK
Experiment Of Department Of AgrlcuI-
ture Shows Scours Are Due to
UneIeanly Conditions.

By recent experiment the depart
ment Of agriculture seems to show
that scours are not due to sour milk
but to uncleanly conditions. II the
milk is not allowed to stand for any
great length of time and not allowed
to become unclean it is as nourishing
to the young calf as sweet skim milk
and as rapid gains we're made in one
case as in the other.
1t was further shown that sudden
changes from sweet to sour and from
sour to sweet made no apparent
change in the calf, although the calf
was only few days old. 1t was
found by experiment, however, that
sour milk does not prove so favorable
in winter as in summer.

RECORD KEEPING PAYS WELL
Everything Must Be Determined in
Light Of Scales, 5abcock Test and

Before the results of modern herd
records were known, dairy cattle
were admitted to the herd books, and
bought and sold, chiefly on their out
ward appearances. There was no
standard by which to determine the
relation of form to production. A
nice-looking COW was the one which
brought the most money. What con-
