There is a wonderful diversity in
1--WE must have new things all the time
or women will not buy" says one of
those who sells frOcks nearly all the
days of the year. 1t is business that
makes the world move forward, and so
designers call upon the four quarters
of the globe for ideas and inspirations.
This fall there are Chinese and Rus
sian and American Indian ideas inter
preted in new suits and dresses, or dis
cernible in their trimmings. along with
clever inventions that are home grown
and very modern.
But with all this casting about for
new Inspirations there are almost no
freakish dresses. Everything must bow
TO the DEGREES of the mode and manage
to arrive at simplicity in effect no mat
ter how much elaborated in details of
trimming or finish. The result is the
prettiest and most wearable frocks
that can be imagined, with the straight
line models in great favor and the
smart Russian blouse winning its way
to the front.
But the straight line dress has no
monopoly, as may be gathered from
the clever model in a one-plece frock

flaring cuffs with overlap in white
satin.
Making n joke of deprivatiOns is one
phase of French fOrtitude in these
times of trial. The PariSienne makes
light of the scarcity of coal and says
she will rely upon furs and exercise
in the open air to keep herself warm
this winter. This prediction seems to
have influenced the mode, and furs
are everywhere. On suits and frocks
they appear in bands. sometimes con-
tinuous and more often in sections, on
the bottom of skirts and coats. Collars
and cuffs. Uncovered buttons, and
narrow fur bands and fringes of fur
find place on all outer garments.
Deep cuffs, both clOse-fitting and
flaring. and narrow collars that widen
into broad revers are among the new
est phases of fur trimmings. But with
the broadest collars and the most gen.
erous cuffs are coupled very narrow
landings in pockets and about the bot
tom of coats. Collars are as luxurious
and enveloping as those introduced last
winter. those on suits of the convert
ible variety that may be brought up

MILLET FOR STOCK.
As Roughage 1t Is Regarded as
Somewhat More Effective
Than Prairie Hay.
VALUABLE AS A Catch CROP
Plant Is Adapted to Wide Range Of
Soils and Climates-Not to Be Re-
garded as Profitable in Crop
Rotations.

From the United States Department of
Agricultural
FOXtail millet, which makes up mp
proximately nine-tenths of all the mil
let grown in the United States, is de-
clared by specialists i'm the United
States department of agriculture to he
valuable chiefly as catch crop. Most
farmers use 1t to overcome shortage
In their hay supply or to occupy field
which would otherwise be idle. For
such purposes millet is admirably
adapted because it natures quickly
and a stand is obtained with ease and
certainty.
Furthermore. the plant Is adapted to
a wide range of soils and climates. Al
though large yields are not obtained
under unfavorable circumstances, mil
dry climate than most other hay crops.
In semi-arid regions ii frequently es-
capes periods of drought because of
its short growing season. On the other
hand, ii IS quick TO show the effect of
dry weather because of its shallow
root system. Compared with Sudan
grass, its chief competitor. millet is de-
ficient both in quality and yield of hay
but the growing season of the Sudan
grass Is somewhat longer. and this
provides greater opportunity i'm the lat
ter for injury from drought.
Feeding Value of Hay.
In its feeding value the hay of fox
tail millet has been found to be ap-
proximately the same as timothy hay.
AS n roughage for growing stock, it is
usually regarded as somewhat more
effective than prairie hay but not the
equal of alfalfa or clover hay. 1t can
be fed without danger to cattle and
sheep, and sparingly and I'm connection
with other kinds Of hay to horses. A
continuous ration of millet hay. how
ever, has resulted i'm injury to horses.
This fact. says new publication of
the department of agriculture. Farm
crs' Bulletin 793. has been denied, but
II is scarcely open tn doubt.
Millet is not to be regarded as a
profitable constituent of regular crop
rotations. II has been considered ex-
haustive of soil fertility. possibly be
cause IT gathers its food and moisture
from the upper levels of the soil. Also.
very small quantity Of vegetable
matter is left after a crop of millet has
been harvested for hay. and therefore
there is little humus added to the soil
when the stubble is plowed under. Ex.
perience, in fact, has shown that II
is quite likely that crop following
millet will not do so well as one fol.
lowing small grain OF corn.
Used for Human Food.
In Asia. the original home of foxtail
millet. the plant is used to certain
extent as human food. Ii Is quite nm
likely, however. says the bulletin nj
