As a means of promoting meat pro- duction in the south, the cattle feeding demonstrations carried on comparatively by the bureau of animal industry, United States department of agriculture, and the state agricultural colleges are prov ing an effective and pratical agency.
 These demonstrations are designed to give local farmers opportunity to see for themselves the results of improved feed ing methods and to make use of the ad- vice of beef cattle specialists. As a result of demonstrations, many who oth- erwise would hesitate to invest money in locally untried industry feel jus tified in buying cattle and using high priced feeds.
 For demonstration purposes the spe cialists try to induce the owner of a farm equipped with silos and scales to un- dertake the feeding of beef cattle. The specialists advise the farmer as to the kind of cattle to feed, the composition of rations, and the best methods of start ing the cattle on feed and finishing and handling them. From time to time the specialist visits each demonstration farm to check up and direct the work Weights and records are kept either by the specialist or by the county agent Interested farmers are invited to inspect the cattle at various times, and the dem onstration closes with large gathering of farmers to show results and discuss the methods At these meetings the men who have made mistakes, such as, per haps, starting the cattle with too heavy a ration of concentrates which caused them to SCOUT and go off feed, learn how to correct such mistakes and in most cases volunteer enthusiastically to feed another year with the object of making a better showing.
 The accompanying table shows records of feeding demonstrations held in Geor- gia, Alabama and Mississippi
 The data given in the table are taken directly from the records as kept and are not placed on directly comparative basis. The cost per 100 pounds of gain and the profits made in the different demonstrations are influenced by the varying prices paid for feed used and the difference in margins. Each lot of steers shows a good profit for feeding without credting them for the manure produced. The value of the manure is an important item in building up soil fer

In spite of the fact that pork is nourishing food and very well suited for persons who lead an active life, es- pecially during the colder months of the year. As general rule, pork is a dangerous food to serve in warm weather. for it is decidedly a heat producing food Its palatability should never induce one to eat 1t in large quantities.
 As it is c1assed with tie heat and energy producing foods, rather than the tissue builders, pork should be served with muscle-making foods, such as beans and peas, squash, cabbage and spinach.
 tempting ways in which pork can be prepared:
 Crown Roast of Pork-Tie a dozen pork chops so as to form a crown, with the ribs trimmed free of meal and cut the same length. Fill the cen- ter of the crown with some small onions. or with sausage meat mixed with one-third it's quantity of bread crumbs. Put the roast in a dripping pan with a cupful of hot water, and roast till thoroughly done, at least three hours, basting it frequently with the drippings.
 Ham with Tomato Sause-One slice of ham, one-half cupful of canned to- matoes, four tablespoonfuls of stock or milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one teaspoonful of onion juice.
 Rub the tomato through a sieve; put it in saucepan with the butter, stock, and onion juice. and stir 1t until very hot. Season with salt and pepper; put in the ham and brown 1t on both sides; it will be necessary to turn 1t frequently. Put the ham on a platter and pour the sauce over 1t.
 Ham Rechauffe-Melt tumbler of currant jelly and warm in it some thin slices of cold ham. Peel and core several apples and cut them into rounds half an inch thick. Oil the broiler and broil the apples until soft. Place them around the edge of the dish In which the ham Is served.
 Broiled Cdtlets-Trim outlets from the neck of lean pork. brush them with butter and sprinkle them with pep per, then broil them for 10 minutes, turning frequently. Brush them with butter and coat them with Drowned breadcrumbs. Broil them again for 10 to 20 minutes. according to theii thickness.

The feature now is the hand knitted sweaters being made and worn by many women. They are made of Shetland wool and of every color con ceivable. All of the light and bright shades are used, though many white, gray, brown and purples are seen. When the dark colors are used white or gray angora wool collars. cuffs and belt and pocket trimmings are made It Is the straight knitting stitch with two amber needles. In every direction you turn women with huge cretonne bags can be seen knitting. Wheu~ they are at first seen one imbued with the patriotic spirit imagines many are making sweaters for soldiers, and much is their surprise when it is drawn forth and bright colors are dis played. But they are very pretty, practical and inexpensive. To make one of them a box of Shetland wool is required, costing $2.40 and it makes practical coat and an under wrap for the cold weather This is espe- cially useful for one that must ride very often They are made in two styles, the slip-over and the coat front The stitch is the same, only half of the front is made at once, in- stead of the entire front The ere tonne bags. which are very sensible for such work. and, in fact, many people coming from out of town carry them for shopping bags, are made of one yard of 27-inch cretonne, finished at the top over dolly hoops, large enough to slip over the arm. They are spacious, and in the days when we are requested to carry small bum dies, extremely useful.
 KNITTING APRONS
 Knitting aprons are also used for this work. They are made from large figured handkerchicfs with one cut in half and feather stitched on to form two large pockets, into which the work can be slipped to keep 1t from falling or when it is not to be used. Pockets should be large enough to carry the needles Another handkerchief is used for the ruffle. which is merely cut down the fold to the center when the handkerchief is folded in four. This is also feather stitched across. Strings of ribbons hold 1t in place about the belt.
 Right now manufacturers are busy devising fibre materials to take the place of wool for fall suitings. Cot

ton Is so high in price that it is dangerous rival of silk and the new fibre silks are very heavy and warm, as well as practical, and very good suitings for fall are being displayed.
 Military capes are on display and advertised as vehicle wrap. It is not clumsy for this purpose and for street wear it can be of double value. They are made in blue, black, brown and gray. Some are lined and trimmed with brass and steel buttons, and oc- casionally touch of braiding. Mili- tary collars are used on most of them. Often the cape is attached to a full length coat which gives the wrap dou- ble warmth and will doubtless be one of the most popular coats for the fall and winter season.
 WHITE HATS
 Hats are of course, right now most 1y white, though the fabric tops are much in vogue. White satin is worn with suits or dresses and the navy blue and white is seen everywhere Foulard tops are also used with fac ings of crepe. Daisies combined with wheat are seen as trimming with straw and silk or cotton hats Two punches of wheat and three large daisies can be used to good advantage with the sailor.
 ITddy blouses have lost none of their popularity. Many people like them because of the freedom of the arms which cannot be had from any other style of dress. The piece dresses are usually tight at the waist line.
 Skirts of poplin and cotton gabar- dine are growing less in width. Many of the wide plaits are disappearing and the shaped skirt seven inches from the floor is taking it's place.
 We are told that Macrame lace is to be used for a dress decoration for the fall and this can be made by the average housewife. as they made much of it a few years ago.
 Simple dresses will also be worn, as they are now displaying them to buyers for their fall openings about the last of August Suits will not be worn as much as separate coats and dresses.
