DICTATES OF FASHION

Charming poke bonnets are fash
Toned of crepe or chiffon.
Evening gowns generally have no
sleeves, or very tiny ones.
Jackets to correspond nicely with
the full skirts should be short.
Small fat bows OF braid-like ribbon
are seen on smart little hats.
Bell sleeves and bishop sleeves are
style innovations for waist fashions as
well as for gowns.
Short skirts for day dresses and
trained gowns for evening wear are
the last style specifications received.
Old-fashioned checked silks in snuff
colored browns, green's, blues and yell
lows and blacks are novelties in duh
toned effects.
Even though the high waist line will
be fashionable, the normal line will be
the controlling position for belt lines
this season.
The high collared waist with q
shirred yoke and collar or organdie
and bodice of null or lawn is another
vogue of much interest.

TEETH PROJECTIONS
r.. CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Mary Animals Fail to Make Good
Gains Owing to Bad ConGi-
ton of Grinders.

The horse most commonly grown
upon the farm and the one which is
so often neglected, when it comes to
preparing him for market, is the draft
horse.
Pounds of flesh are an important
factor in determining his market value.
This being the case, it is very neces.
sary to have him make heavy gains.
One of the first points to be considered
in fattening horse is to attend to his
teeth. Many horses fail to make good
gains, due to the fact that their teeth
are not in proper condition.
The preparation of the teeth is
known as the floating of the teeth.
1t is best to get a veterinarian to do
this, as he has the proper instruments,
and where there are many to do, it
can be done more rapidly. Floatins
the teeth is a point which a great
many people overlook, and is in many
instances the cause Of horse being
out of condition.
When horse has number of sharp
projections on his teeth, the gums be-
come sore ard raw, so that he does not
masticate his food properly; conse-
quently indigestion often results and
the horse runs down in his condition.
In examining lot of horses recent.
ly, it was found that large number
of them had sharp projections ON the
under edge of the grinders. Their
mouths were in such a condition tina.
a person would wonder how they could
eat at all.
But after their teeth had been float
ed down, quite marked change was
noticed.

New Neckwear Designs.

time at home. Homemade neckwear
can be quite as dainty as that seen in
the shops, and can be produced at
much less cost.
Very fine, sheer wolfe is a new ma
terial used for neckwear. 1t is in
tended to supersede organdie, and be-
lieve it will quickly fiud favor-if for
no reason other than that it is very
easily Numbered. Since neckwear, to
be attractive, must be ever fresh, any
thing which will tend to lessen the
laundry work is sure to be appreciated.
Net is close second to wolfe. This,
too, is not difficult to keep clean, and
1t wears like iron.
Net is lightly embroidered this year.
For example, little vine in the front
of the chemisette divides and runs on
either side of the collar. This is
worked with medium fine embroidery
cotton in solid satin and outline stitch.
The work is easy to do if the design be
backed with tissue paper. The paper
can be pulled away when the embroid.
cry is finished.
The fluffy side frill is in vogue again.
A jabot thus adorned will do much to
redeem a somber-looking dress or an
out-of-date waist. There should be
number of these fluffy frills lying about
at home, as it was SO popular a model
not long ago. Those who must make
them will need, for one jabot, half
yard of pretty insertion and from
three-Guarters to one yard of edging
for the frill-according to the width
of the frill.
English eyelet embroidery is favored
above all else for the strip, though
some frills of fine wolfe are edged with
q narrow filet lace and attached to
strip of the lace-but wider Some
models show the frill on both sides of
the strip. In this case the jabot ends
just below the bust and the frill is car
ried all around.
Tiny pearl buttons are used for trim
ming neckwear, in place of the little
linen buttons of last year. They have
no visible means of attachment, but
are known as trimming buttons. The
ordinary pearl buttons with holes for
sewing are not the proper thing.
These are small details, but they
mark the up-to-date neckwear; and
one might as we'll get the correct
thing when purchasing.
All neckwear apparently closes in
front. The net chemisettes, however,
frequently close in the back, but show
a decoration which DISCUSSES this fact
For example, there may be embroidery
and buttons or frills of lace down the

The consumption of mutton per CAP
ita in the United States is increasing
every year, though the amount used is
much less in proportion to other meat
than in Europe. There are good rea-
sons for expecting a continuation of
good prices for mutton and lamb, :nd
the demand for wool also may be ex-
pected to increase more rapidly than
the production. These facts are
brought out in recent letter from a
scientist of the department of agricul-
ture to southern farmer who in
quired regarding the possibilities of
the sheep business.
The departments specialist called
attention to the fact that while farm
raised sheep have often not been prof
liable, this has usually been because
of lack of proper attention and man
agement. Variations in price of wool
and mutton have stood in the way of
such general interest in sheep as
would cause them to be regarded as
highly as they should be in the future.
Ranges all over the world are now
carrying about as many sheep as they
can support under strict range sys-
tenn, and an increase in the production
of sheep products must come mainly
from farms. Here, then, is the farm
er's opportunity to take advantage of
the increased consumption of these
products.
While mutton can be produced at
low cost and there is growing de-
mand for it, difficulty in selling may
be experienced in sections where the
amount of live stock produced has not
been sufficient to make it worth while
for regular buyers to operate. Slaugh-

One was fed shelled corn, shorts and
oil meal, and the other a mixture of
shelled corn and shorts.
Figuring corn at 60 cents a bushel,
shorts at $26 ton, tankage at $55,
and oil meal at $36, the tankage-fed
lots returned from five to nine cents
profit on a bushel of grain fed.
An interesting side light of the ex-
pertinent was trial of the self-feeder.
The three feeds, shelled corn, shorts
and tankage, were supplied in a dry
form and separately. The hogs Sc
lected the following ration: Shelled
corn, S6.5 per cent; shorts, So, and
tankage, 7.9. The settled hogs made

In the countries where economy In
farm management has been studied
long time the sheep is considered to
be necessary in utilizing vegetation on
such waste lands as ere not wet or
marshy. But the sheep can hold its
place on high-priced land as a meat
producer alone. Compared with
larger animals it has some important
advantages. First, the lambs mature
very rapidly, being marketable at four
months of age or later, according to
breeding and feeding. This is an
economy, because larger proportion
of the total feed goes into increase
of weight than in slower growing ami
mails. Second, the sheep consumes
greater variety Of plants than do other
animals. Many of such plants are
detrimental to pastures and would
otherwise require hard labor to hold
them in check. Third, grain waste in
harvesting can be entirely recovered
by sheep. These facts prompt some
farmers to claim that the summer food
of sheep costs nothing, because what
they consume would otherwise bring
no returns.

STRICTLY @WlHlLE YOU WAIT"
Chinese Needlewomen Mend Mascu-
line Garments While Seated in
Public Street.

In many towns of China one may
have his garments mended on the
street, and while he waits" Native
sewing women are to be seen on low
stools, perhaps ON the sidewalks,
mending articles of masculine attire
The accomplishments of these street
seamstresseS are somewhat limited
their efforts with the needle being for
the most part confined to running.
Other branches of needlework are
practically unknown to them. AS a
consequence their efforts are better
appreciated by native workmen than
by foreign travellers.
They are never short of patrons
among the former, for these are often
natives of other districts, and, hav-
ing come to the city to engage in
business, have no one to mend a rent
for them. Their wives being left at
home, they are glad TO avail them
selves of the services of the street
needlewomen. For this class Of GUS
toners the skill of the itinerant sew
ing woman answers practically every
purpose.
Generally speaking, these women are
wives OF boatmen and laborers who
live in the houseboats which line the
creeks of many Chinese cities and
towns, and their needles are great
help toward the solution of the prob
lem of maintenance in a crowded city
or town.

frocks than leghorn at its best. And
this summers hats in leghorn are at
their best. They are soft, with un-

with velvet, flowers and chiffon in a
charming way. Lewis manipulates fat
leghorn plaques into smart little tri-
corns that sit with especial jauntiness
above some of the new frocks.
