Simple Couture
Is the Best

It Is the fashion in Paris to dress
the hair exceedingly simple. The new
est method, however, reminds one of
a bath coiffure"-the hair, slightly
waved, being drawn back closely from
the face and twisted into a careless
knot at the nape of the neck.
The couture is eminently becoming
to a pretty girl with a well-shaped
head. 1t demands that the hair shall
be very silky and possessed of an ap-
parently natural ripple.
The chignon is here again. Not
stiff bun but soft soil, held in place
by tortoise shell pins, which lies
against the back of the neck, and there
is no parting visible in front.
The Parisiennes are also adopting
in the evening a style of headdress
which calls for the presence of highly
ornamental combs. These are com
bined with a simple, but highly effec-
tive couture.
The hair, always slightly waved, is
drawn back over light frizette and
arranged in series of small coils and
curls at the back of the head, not low
down, but, on the other hand, not high
up. The coils and curls cover the mid
die of the head at the back and the
comb juts out at one side.

FEED DRY COWS AND HEIFERS
Building Up Frames and Giving Con.
stitutionai Vigor to Calves Is
True Foundation.

The feeding of the dry COWS and
heifers that must build up the frames
and give constitutional vigor to the
young calves, is the true foundation Of
improved dairy cows. Yet the aver.
age dairyman feeds his pregnant cows
and heifers the refuse of his farm. The
best hay, wheat bran and linseed oil
meal is fed to COWS that are giving
milk. The very elements that are
needed by the COW at this period are
withheld.
Carbonaceous foods, which give hea

The bran bait will be eaten greedily
while damp, but hardly at all when

Cutworms may also be killed by the

herd the aphis as sort of domestic
animal for the "honeydew" it secretes.
The eggs of the aphis are kept over

tion is the best means of fighting the
aphis, as it does not feed on small
grain or legumes. However, if an in

Two Wells Needed.

Two wells are needed for protection
from strenuous winter breezes. One
veil is a face veil of fine hexagon
mesh, the other is draped veil which
floats over the hat. New wells of the
latter sort are called plateau wells.
They are Of open filadora mesh with a
deep, effective border at either end.
The veil is thrown across a small hat
so that the bordered ends fall at the
sides, just below the shoulders, and
the fine face veil is draped closely
over the hat and face in usual fash
ion.

QUESTION FOR LAMB FEEDER
Must Find Most Economical Concen.
trate to Be Used in Fattening
His Young Animals.

(By J. B. M'NULTY, Colorado Agricultur-
al College. Fort Collins, Colo.)
The question which the man who
would be a successful lamb breeder
must solve is that of the most econom.
ica1 concentrate to ,e used in fatten-
ing his lambs The fact that most
feeders are using alfalfa for rough
age simplifies tn problem consider
ably. Alfalfa supplies the protein, and
when fed with a fattening concentrate,
such as corn or barley, reduces to the
minimum the amount of feed required
for a pound gain. Experiments prove
that corn is just trifle better, pound
for pound, than barley, when both are
fed in connection with one of the
leguminous hays, such as clover or al.
falfa
There is little data on the economy
of feeding corn alone with upland or
timothy hay or with corn stover. This
is due to the fact that such a ration
would not contain enough protein.
Doubtless barley would somewhat ex.
eel corn, pound for pound, when fed
with roughages lacking protein. Whole
barley may be fed very successfully to
fattening sheep.
The fact that cottonseed meal can
be purchased for a price comparing
favorably with that of corn has sug-
gested the feeding of this concentrate
with alfalfa hay for fattening lambs.
In this combination however, we have
two feeds high in protein and conse-
quent1y an unbalanced ration. Oil
meal or cottonseed meal can be fed
quite extensively with timothy hay and
roots, in which combination either will
give very good results.

would perhaps be one-third cottonseed

or cracked. This combination should
give good results and at the same time
be much less conducive to digestive
disorders than a ration Of cottonseed
meal and alfalfa.

assistant secretary OF Agriculture.
A description Of some of the COM
monest pests that corn-belt farmers
have to combat is given in section
Of a new bulletin Of the United States
department Of agriculture, written by
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary, in
order to suggest to the farmer ways of
turning to financial profit scientific
advice. In addition to describing the
pest the bulletin tells of the most ef-
fective ways in which the damage that
they cause may be guarded against.
On this subject the bulletin says in
part:
The chinch bug is black, with white
wings. It winters in dead grass, piles
of dead leaves and the like. Burning
such rubbish during fall or early win

other places where the plow does not

popular materials for spring. Crepe de

ia in both plain and fancy effects are
also seen. Among darker waists are
brilliant colors such as flame, blue,
green, Joffre blue and rose. Smart
waists in colored linen and sheer cot
ton materials are trimmed, as a rule,
with touches of white.

For some time the city health au-

dressed to the owner of the property
saying that the tribe must move, or
suitable stables for the horses and
other sanitation measures must be
taken. The owner said that the prop
erty has been sublet to Mrs. Ida Sta

to have the gypsies comply with the

that they had remained long enough,

that he was an honest married man,

the unfortunate woman gave up the

such incidents. We see a man or wo-

We know that we do not hesitate TO
tell where we saw such man or wo-

harm.
The Virginian does not mention
this story as a suggestion for those
who wish to escape blame on the ex-
cuse Of dual personality. It might
make fine apology when it is hard
to explain to the home folks why one
was reported to have been seen where
he should not have been seen. How
ever, the fellow who must explain his
movements generally finds plenty of
excuses, often even better than that
illustrated in the ST Louis case.

Hear From Citizens on Pro-

A special meeting OF the Council
Committee on Ordinances will be held
tonight at s o'clock TO consider the
proposed ordinance providing for CEN
sorship OF moving pictures.
A draft of such an ordinance was
presented in the Board of Alderme en-
meeting in April, referred to this COM
mittee. and partially discussed at the
last regular session of that body
In order to hear from the Mayor
and the Chief of Police on the oues-
ton the committee fixed tonight for
a general discussion, at which time
anyone wishing to express views on
the subject will be given such priyi-
lege.
Many of the social service societies
favor such an ordinance. The paper
submitted to the committee provides
that the board OF censors shall en-
brace the superintendent OF schools.
Judge of Juvenile Court and a woman
to be named by the Young Women s
Christian Association. The chairman
superintendent of schoots1 is to re-
eeive a salary of $500 a year. and he
may secure the services of clerk at
$3.50 a year.
The Judge of the Juvenile Court
and the woman named by the Y. w.
G. A. shall form the court of appeal.
At the last meeting of the commit
tee Superintendent Chandler, of the
public schools, stated that he hoped
the ordinance as originally drawn
would not be adopted, as he preferred
to devote his full time TO the work
laid out for him in connection with
the schools.
