STYLES IN PETTICOATS
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THEY
NEED NOT MATCH FROcK.
Any Color That Is Not Positively
Ugly May Be Used, as Once Fancy
Dictates-The Upper Skirt
Is to Return. D..

The demand for petticoats makes
the mill men smile. At the present
moment they are probably more ex-
aggerated than they will remain. The
reason is that the French houses
made a feature of them and sold
them at high prices for the last two
months, and they have been copied
In expensive fabrics.
SO far there has not been sweeping
reduction, and we are yet buying mar
row petticoats, including the Sinking
ones OF jersey cloth, which cling to
the legs like stockings. In some fash
ion, each of the new ones has a dis
tention of the hips that holds out the
skirt placed over 1t. Brilliant colors
are used and there is no attempt made
to match the gown; even bright con-
trasts are permitted.
1t Is quite natural that this should
be so, when many of the new gowns
have deep facings OF brightly colored
ribbons that are intended to show as
the wearer walks-for instance,
gown of gray tafreta which has a
slight embroidery of cut steel and self
colored silk, its wide hem lined with
a broad ribbon Of turquoise blue with
q white edge. 1t seems as though the
dressmakers were not able TO leave
the hens OF the skirts alone, for many
colors are introduced in various ways
on the inner or outer surface. While
this is the fashion. no one need spend
undue effort in getting a petticoat to
match a frock. Any color will do,
provided It is not an ugly one.
Although black-and-white striped
silk appears IN the directoire hats,
parGsols, shopping bags and elk spats,
It does not appear in its old abiding
place, the petticoat.
Among the popular colors are pur.
pie, petunia. cherry red, apple green
and copper brown.
There is no longer any doubt about
the return OF the upper skirt which
goes by various names, but to the
old-timer is better known as the over
skirt than tunic. It was included IN
the revival of both the Louis Philippe
and the Louis KY styles. and has now
caught hold OF the popular fancy as
an excellent way to either make over
a gown, or produce q new color
scheme.
Sometimes It appears as a glorifed
pannier, or even q glorified hustle,
which is placed at the sides as well
as the back. Again It follows out
the idea Of the Brittany apron, from
which many of the shapes are directly
borrowed.
There is a strong effort being made
in France to bring back aprons on
afternoon and evening frocks. but 30
far the suggestion has not met with
much success. What the future holds,
no daughter of a prophet would at
tempt 10 say.
The couture shown in the sketch is
one that has been universally adj
mired.

Mr.. Lau has IA Red Polled COWS Of
high grade which produce from 1900
TO 5000 pounds of butter annually,
which he sells on contract delivered at
So cents the year round. In 1914 the
production was 1850 pounds. Each
COW returned him $73.65 last season as
follows: 10 pounds butter, $780, A.
600 pounds skim milk at 10 cents per
hundred, Sc; calf, So, and Is pints Of
cream used in household, 1896. They
are fed silage and alfalfa as the basis,
with a small quantity of corn grist con-
sisting of corn and cob ground to-
gether. These cows constitute the
largest factor in his total income every
year. He regards silage and alfalfa
as the very best feed.
He owns one OF the oldest silos In
Scott county, having had 1t for 81
years. 1t holds 85 tons, has dimen-
sions of IA by % feet and requires from
Z to acres to Ill. 1t is constructed
OF wood slaves and is built inside the
barn and has proved practically per-
manent there. The cost was $3.50.
Mr.. Lau estimates the annual cost of
filing at $50. He always adds water
to his ensilage in filing and finds that
he can get a good grade of feed by
putting it in when Just beginning to

thoroughly sprinkled with water and
tamped down three different times.
He had never had any trouble from
feeding and values ensilage highly for
both cattle and sheep. In his opinion
every farmer should have a silo.

He keeps, in addition to his cows,

Seven horses are kept to do the
work on Mr.. Lau's farm. They are
fed alfalfa as roughage almost exclu-
sively. They are also given some silage
and oats and corn. Care is taken that
the alfalfa and ensilage be bright and
wholesome. No colts are produced.

Dy G. H AFFORD, state Demonstration

O3y G. II. AFFORD, State Demonstration
Agent. Maryland)
C. w. Lau, who lives on the
Magnolia Crest farm, six miles from
tho city of Davenport, in Scott county,
Iowa. is a man OF such a diversity or
interests and carries on so many inter
esting and valuable experiments that
we can learn much by a study of his
methods. Mr.. Lau owns 100 acres Of
land. OF this 100 is tillable, while 40
Is left in permanent pasture and car
ries about one head of cattle per acre.
This ground is low and has very
troublesome ditch running its entire
length, making it difficult to maintain
fences and impracticable to cultivate.
He believes that he can double the
carrying capacity OF this pasture by
disking in the ground occasionally and
sowing in a mixture of grasses. He
will try a mixture of timothy, blue
grass, white clover and sweet clover
seeded in a two-year-old alfalfa field to
produce a pasture of this sort next sea-
son. Mr.. Lau believes in rotating pas
lures wherever this is possible.
First Success With Alfalfa.
Mr.. Lau maintains a rotation Of two
years OF corn, one year of barley in
which alfalfa is sown, followed by two
years of alfalfa. He can rightly claim
the distinction of having first gained
an unqualified success in the growing
of alfalfa in Scott county. He now
has on the place some 30 acres de-
voted to this crop. So firm is his faith
in the alfalfa plant that he has dis
carded red clover entirely and expects
to follow a rotation in which alfalfa
has a prominent part. He also has
placed his seal of condemnation on
timothy.
Charles Lau says that one years
seeding is five years wedding. To pre-
vent this he clips his stubbles with the
mower before the weed seed ripens.
This is better than blowing early and
exposing the land to parching suns
and teaching rains.
From 40 to 60 acres of corn are
grown and the average production is
about So bushels per acre. The seed
is gathered early and the ears placed
in ricks in the open doorway of his
barn loft. In this way it is located in
