Russia Becomes Temperate.

The prohibition of selling brandy
in the government monopoly shops
was introduced throughout the Rus.
sian empire from the beginning OF
the war, on the day Of mobilization,
and has how been in force for more
than eight months. One of the Rus
sian papers has made inquiries con.
corning the results Of this measure,
and has published some of the stats
teal data that were collected. The fol-
lowing list shows the consump-
ton of vodka in the city of Moscow
in 1914 compared with the preceding
year: July, 612,6S6 gallons in 1913
and 359,124 gallons in 1914; August,
667,926 gallons in 1913 and 23,373 gal
Ions in 1914; October, 7O7,6SS gallons

there with an organdie collar decorat-
ed with little fine embroidery. The
sleeves are elaborated with band
of taffeta above the elbow, fastened
down with silk-covered buttons. But
the touch of distinction which first
catches the eye is the belt and hang
ing end of silk, decorated with an
embroidered pattern Of the smallest
beads in many brilliant but har-
monizing colors. They are put on
with the intent of reminding one OF
the beadwork of the Indians, and are
astonishingly effective. One may
count upon thrill of patriotism as
part of the satisfaction in wearing
this gown, not simply because 1t Is
made of American fabrics, but be-
cause its decoration is an inspiration
born in our own land. And notice how
the idea is carried out in the long and
splendid single feather for which the
little hat is merely support.

BEST SIZE OF SILO TO BUILD
tacle With Diameter Over Twenty
Feet-Right Height.

In building silo one should plan
well the width of the silo. If the silo
is too wide for the number of stock to
be fed from it daily, there will not
be sufficient amount Of silage taken
from the silo per day, especially in
warm weather, to keep the silage from
spelling.
A depth Of to 21a inches of silage
should be taken from the silo per day
during the winter months, and a depth
Of three inches per day during the
warm summer months.
If the stock on farm is equivalent
to from ten to fifteen cows, the silo
should have a diameter of about ten
feet; II equivalent to fifteen to twenty.
five cows, a diameter Of about twelve
feet; IL equivalent to twenty-five to
thirty-fve COWS, a diameter Of about
fifteen feet; If equivalent to thirty five
to forty-five cows. diameter of six.
teen feet; If equivalent to forty-five to
sixty-five cows, a diameter of eighteen
feet; II equivalent to sixty-five to sew
enty-five cows, q diameter of eighteen
feet. For a herd OF. seventy-five COWS
or over the diameter can be from
eighteen to twenty feet.
1t Is not advisable to build silo
with the diameter over twenty feet. 1t
.is a general rule not to make the
height of the silo less than twice or
more than three times the diameter.

Here are three of the latest break
fast or boudoir caps, ore of them a
familiar and simple type, and two 9TH
ers less simple, but having the charm
OF novelty as well as beauty to recon-
mend them. None of these are too
difficult to make for women who I'M
derstand even little of needlework,
and the pretty cap of point d'esprit
net, pictured at the left Of the group,
might be successfully made by any
novice in sewing.
This cap is merely a circular piece
OF dotted net having a diameter OF
eighteen inches. The edge is turned
up In the tiniest OF hems-about one
sixteenth OF an inch wide-and over
this a narrow edging of val lace is
stitched down. Two inches in from
the edge OF the lace, on the under side
OF the net, narrow silk binding or
bias tape Is machine-stitched along
both edges to the net This forms
casing to hold an elastic band or
cord that is run through 1t, gathering
the net into cap. A rosette OF satin
ribbon Is mounted at each side. Or, II
small cluster of chiffon
roses or millinery flowers may be
used.
At the top of the group a cap is
shown made of shadow lace over chif-
ION, edged with a scant ruffie of mes
saline ribbon about an inch wide. The

cap is caught in the plain edges c"
the two-pointed pieces. Full rosetto:

ends, decorate this model at each side
and finish cap that Is unusually be-
coming.
The third cap shown is made OF q
wide shadow lace, edged about the
front with a narrow lace of the same
kind. The scalloped edge OF the wide
lace forms a cape falling to the
shoulders, and the narrower lace
makes a frill falling about the face
An elastic band adjusts this cap also
and messaline ribbon. caught at inter
walls about the face, is finished with
loops and hanging ends at the back.
Until you have experimental with
different models In these pretty bits
of feminine finery you will not know
how becoming some of them are.
Moreover, they are made OF American
laces, the filmiest and softest product
OF the looms that turn cotton fiber into
