DAIRY cows DURING WINTER
Winter MIX VIII Bring Farmer About
one.ThIrd More Per Quart Than
During Summer Season.

The production Of milk is now quite
a different proposition from what II
was in summer. Winter milk will gen.
orally bring the farmer about one
third more per quart than in summer.
To Offset this, It costs a lot more to
produce 1t. Winter milk can be pro-
duced at profit where the producer
is as far away as 200 miles from mar
ket. but to do 1t the producer cannot
go at It in haphazard, slipshod way.
He must thoroughly inform himself
as to the actual cost of milk. He must
keep a correct account Of each item
expended. There must be charged
against the COW the amount Of hay,
silage. roots and feed she consumes. at
the fair market value. Each COW
should be credited with the amount OF
milk she produces. at market prices,
and then feed and care for the cows,
so as to have the balance on the right
side Of the ledger.

MERE FABLES, SAYS EXPERT
Museum Director DecrIes Stories o.
Large Sums Being Paid for specI-
mems Of Natural History.

F. A. Lucas, director of the Mu-
scum of Natural History. New York,
in disputing a recent statement "that
some of the butterfly farmers of Eu-
rope have reared specimens selling
for $5,000," asks for the names Of
the men who ever spent that amount
for a butterfly.
'During my forty years experi-
ence in both buying and selling his
tory material" says he, 81 have never
even heard of a butterfly having
sold for such an enormous price, nor,
in fact, anything like that sum, and
the statement is likely to arouse in
some of your readers expectations
destined never to be realized.
"Many years ago, when at the
United States National museum, the
correspondence clerk was kept busy
contradicting the statement that a
certain butterfly had recently been
purchased for the sum of $4,000.
Quite recently statement, equally
false, went the rounds of the papers,
stating that Sir Walter Rothschild
had paid $1,000 for a flea.
GAS a matter of fact, there is
hardly natural history specimen of
any kind, save precious stones, that
cannot be purchased for $4,000, and
usually for a great deal less"

EASY TO ovERDo ONES WORK
Housewives Might Well Take Advice
From One Who Has Thoroughly
Studied the Subject.

'No matter how busy, a woman
should take time to rest five minutes
several times a day." said Miss Mary
F. Rausch, assistant professor of
home economies at the University of
Washington, in an address before the
American Bankers association at
Seattle. "There are some housekeep-
ers who make life burden for every
one in the family. These are the
women who are too clean about
housekeeping and who want TO polish
every nail in the attic door so as to
show that they are good housekeep-
ers and have everything bright and
shiny.
'No woman should become slave
in her home. She must learn to let
things go and not be ashamed of a
little clean dust on the tables or Oh
the piano.
"Many housekeepers think that
housekeeping is drudgery, but that
is because they do not know how to
do it in the easiest way so as to make
it a real pleasure. 1t is far easier to
do work well if one knows how"

England Wants Free Fruit

London, Feb. 28.-A plea for the free Importation of fruit has been sent to the cabinet in a resolution by the executive committee of the Vegeta- rian Federal Union. It is based on the ground of health, and says:
 ''Any restriction of the present ina- portation of fresh and dried fruit is t be strongly deprecated as tending tc. cause the lack of essential neces- sarics of healthy life; as food, the very nectar and ambrosia of the peo- pie; as physic, better than all the pills and potions of the pharmocopoeia: and in either case of supreme value for the we'll being of the community at large"
 The resolution deprecates any at tempt to shut down on the free entry of fruits as false economy. It says that such an attempt will be resented by the common sense of the country. particularly by the poor, whose chil- dren's interests are directly concern ed

FIFTY YEARS WORK FOR GIRLS

The 50 years work of the Young women's Christian Association has just been recognized by anniversary doings. Social work for girls has not been as expensive as that for men and boys. The latter, to suc- ceed on any large scale. takes very large sums of money. It has to compete with hundred dazzling re- sorts and amusements. There must be gyms, swimming pools, usually billiards. pool and other games, The location must be strategic and ex- pensive.
 Boys and young men are lords of creation. They feel that they are comforting a favor when they use quarters provided for them by phflan- thropy, which must compare with any social club to suit their high mighti- nesses.
 Girls and young women do not de- mand so much. The majority of Young Women's Christian Associa- tions and girls clubs have succeeded without large expense for athletic equipment.
 Modern industrial life brings many a lonely girl into towns and cities. Drawn by some opportunity of self support, her only relation to the community is through her office ties. These may convey no suitable social 1nVICaL1OnS. CA6 A0SOS d pAeASS W AAOAS she can engage in recreatfng diver sions, join classes for mental and pro fessional Improvement, and make friends.
 Every community ought tc have a Young Woman's Christian Associa- ton, a Girls Club, or some work to meet these needs. In. small places the same idea can be carried out as a department of church work The Young Women's Christian Associa- tion started in a time when women were supposed to remain at home cooking and baking, and not seek either work or diversion away from home. In spite of many prejudices, it has built up a splendid organiza- tion It has made home for many a lonely tenant of boarding houses and hall bed rooms.

Beautiful Geraldine, the
 Ballplayer's Daughter

Geraldine Farrar, beautiful prima donna, queen of grand opera and the
 movies, is perhaps the most illustri- cJfs of all the offspring of profession- al baseball ,players-and it may be said here that diamond stars have sell dom been addicted to races suicide. Now that Miss Farrar has broken her oath never to wed, and has taken to spouse Lou TelIegen the actor-nan, it may not be considered ungal1ant to state that the queen of song will pass her thirty-fourth milestone to- cay. When she was born at Me1rose, near Boston, on Feb. 28, 1882, her father. Sydney Farrar, was a Melrose merchant whose chief recreations were singing in church on Sunday and playing amateur ball on Satur- Gay afternoons. Farrar pere was the possessor of a good voice, but he was even better as a ball player, and soon after. Geraldine was born he was of fered a National League Job with the Worcester club. In 1883 the Wor- cester franchise was transferred to Philadelphia, and MT. Farrar decid- ed to have a try at big league ball with the Quake City outfit. He made good from the start, and for seven seasons, from 1923 to 1889, he was regular infielder with the PhiIlies, which club was then owned by A. J. Reach and managed by Harry Wright. During the winter months. which he spent in 1elrose with his tinued to sing in the choir of Uni versaIist church, His fondness for music was shared by Mrs. Farrar, and perhaps this had much to do with the development of the musical genI- us of their lovely daughter.

Crepe GeOrgette and Taffeta.

Dark blue crepe Georgette in the shade known as mud blue is used for this costume. 8 yards 44-inch crepe and { yards 36-inch taffeta being required for the design. Since the waist is a model that can be used Independently, however, today's dressmaking lesson will be devoted to the arrangement of it's section on the material and the process of cutting.
 The sleeves. front and collar are of Georgette and are laid on an open width of material. Even though silk pieces are laid on the silk in the same way as shown on the cutting guide. Every section is placed on length wise thread of material.
 Now, folding the taffeta. place the back on the lengthwise fold ana Sas- band next to it. at the right. The vest is laid on a 1engthwise thread. If the revers are buttoned across the front the vest may be omitted, for often with such waists a guimpe is worn.
 When made in two shades of bIuo the dress is very attractive. Or, if one has a silk slip of white silk or satin to show under the sheer crepe. the effect is quite as charming as a two-toned effect.
 For the bright touch of color so often shown in the new spring costumes, tho tie may be of vivid green satin.
 The very long close sleeve has prac- tically passed. The long sleeve with full top and close deep cuff. whether with greatest width at top or at elbow, has had its vogue and is still worn, as Is the full long sleeve dropping over some form of narrow cuff or wrist band: but the sleeve of the future shows signs of being abbreviated and taking unto itself little undersleeves of muslin or chiffon or other sheer huff, when it is not frankly short CT Of elbow length.

WHEN RUMANIA WILL COME IN.

(Spring1eld Republican,
 Of special significance in the state ment made by the Russian Foreign Minister, Sazonow, is the hint that
 Russia is still hoping for the co-oper- atton of Runania, which when the
 hour strikes will know how to realize
 her national unity at the most of her
 own blood" But the impression has
 gained ground that the hour will not strike till RumaIlia thinks peace near
 at hand. Italy. as it's premier not long
 ago admitted, guessed wrong as to the
 length of the struggle ahead; Ruma- mia, with it's limited resources, cannot afford to guess wrong. In this war there is no en1isting for go days; a l nation, big or little, that takes part is comitted to see the thing through,
 and the end is still too remote and
 dubious to encourage states which
 would like to be in at the finish. but lack resources for a prolonged war.

There is a hill in England, Green fields and a school I know, Where the balls fly fast in summer, And the whispering elm trees grow,

 tide
 And the ghosts that died ip, vain.
