Caring For the Colt In Winter.

sH W. bS WI 81 vVbIIk0Es
The important question of how to
care for the growing colt through the
winter confronts the farmer. Many
colts will be taken from pasture with
a goodly store Of fat only to be turned
out to a straw pile for feed and shell
ter and will come out next spring light
er in weight than they are now. On
the other hand, not a few colts may
be ruined by heavy feeding in stalls.
where they cannot take exercise.
The ideal shelter for colts is a tight
ly built shed, open to the south, where
the animals may go in and out at their
own pleasure and where they may
have the u Of a good big field for ex-
ercise. Idle farm horses can best be
sheltered in the same way. A dry bed
and protection from cold winds and
rain are all that is needed.
Two parts of oats preferably crush
ed) and M part of bran make a very
suitable feed for growing colts. In
cold weather a little corn may be add
ed, not to exceed 25 per cent of the
ration. If clover or alfalfa is used as
half Of the roughage ration no oilmeal
will be needed, but if the roughage
consists of wild hay or corn stover
about 8 per cent Of oilmeal should be
added to the grain ration. Where oats
are high in price and barley is plenti-
full q ration Of crushed barley, GO per
cent; bran, 80 per cent, and oilmeal, 10
per cent. should give good results.

FOOTGEAR.

The ultra smart sports shoes exhibit
the instep and toe strap effects. The
newest thing in oxfords for use at the
southern spring resorts is low Of heel.
rounded Of toe, in white suede, toe
strapped and rather heavily trimmed
with the finest Of black patent kid.
This model is repeated in white and
tan, in all white and in all tan. Many
OF the high topped laced shoes in white
suede or glace kid show both the In
step and the toe strap simulations.
The reason, for their vogue is not far
to seek. They shorten the apparent
length of the feet. Another vogue in
boots is the high topped, front laced
model in African brown suede.

SUMPTU0US DINNER GOWN.

Lines and material combine to give
this graceful effect, a dinner gown Of
pale blue and silver brocade, with a
black and rose velvet rose flaming in
the corsage. The train is a modified
spiral in grateful contrast to the fish
tail, square or hall runner varieties Of
all winter fashions. Please observe
how skillfully pale blue tulle has been
used to construct the shoulder cap,
which just hints Of the epaulets that
the fad for military styles carries over
even into dress creations. The couture
for this frock takes a bandeau of
pearls.

DIRECT FROM PARIS.

This Partisan novelty has long been
popular with continental women-a
transparent, waterproof silk coat.
This garment is incompatible for the
business woman who travels, as it can
be folded. and packed in a small COM
pass. 1t is exceptionally light Of
weight, and its transparency gives full
value to color underneath. Coming in
all the modish shades-sage green,
deep tan, navy blue, golden brown and
a fetching yellow, like a sou'wester's
oilskin-it can also be used for a smart
motor coat. Belted, high colored, well
buttoned, this coat speaks for itself.

WINTER CARE OF CELLARS.
Uniform Temperature and Good Ven.

temperature n Good Ven-
tilation Are Positive Requirements.
A uniform temperature Of As de-
grees, perfect ventilation and good or
der are the three essentials for sue
cess with the cellar in winter. Uni
form temperature and ventilation, of
sourse, are positive requirements. for
without either the real value of the
cellar will be lost. Cellars are used
primarily for storage purposes. and
when the temperature rises above so
degrees the root crops and fruit will
shrivel and even start growth. Since
potatoes are stored in the cellar and
losses Of potatoes are due to moisture
and high temperature, it is necessary
to maintain a temperature Of 40 de-
grees or under.
The storage part Of the cellar should
be separated from the section contain
ing the heating plant, so that little if
any heat will pass through. This re-
quires a strong. substantial wall, and
the tighter it is built the better will be
the insulation. Then there should be
a ventilator which will admit air from
the outside and which can he opened
or closed ut the will Of the owner. AS
every cellar should have IL good stand
ard Thermometer. the temperature can
be watched and regulated. If the
opening Is Oh an unprotected place it
can he covered with several thick
nesses Of buriap. This will prevent
direct drafts Of wind blowing into the
cellar and prevent tluctuating tempera-
lures. The farm home derives much
good from a first rate cellar.

COMMISSION PROBES
GASOLINE RATES

Washington. March 80 Special in
vestigators of the Federal Trade
Commission are combing the coun-
try for data concerning the high cost
of gasoline, Refiners. jobbers, re-
tailers and garage men are being
consulted, and great mass of data
was secured only by the most diff
cult inspection of records.
The result of the Investigation
will be made public in six or seven
weeks, according to Commissioner
Harris who is conducting the invcs-
tigation. Accurate information rs to
the cause of the rise in gasoline
prices will be given the public and
Coneress.
Complaints have come from many
sections of the country concerning
gasoline prices, and the Federal
Trade Commission, which was or
ganized for just such purposes, be-
gan a general probe into the causes.
Whether the laws of demand and
supply have caused the rise in rates,
or whether the oil magnates are out
to milk the public" as charged by
many of the complaints, it is one of
the commission duties to decide.
