BUTTER PRODUCED ON FARMS
Amount rs Continually Decreasing Ac-
cording to Investigation Made
in Wisconsin.

An investigation made in Wisconsin
shows that the amount of butter pro-
duced in the farm dairy is continually
decreasing and what is produced is
generally sold direct to the consumer.
The market butter is made in the 836
creameries of the state, 45 per cent Of
which are owned comparatively by the
farmers. An important feature is that
the cooperative creameries are the
most successful. They pay the farmer
more for his butter fat, pay the but
termaker higher wages, and sell the
product for n higher price.
1t costs 1.66 cents per pound of but
terfat to get the cream to the cream
cry and 2.33 cents to make a pound of
butter. The shipping charges vary
from OPS to 1.25 cents per pound, de-
pending upon the distance from the
market. The investigation brought out
the interesting fact that for every
pound of butter sold to the consumer
the farmer received twO-thirdS OF the
money and the retailer one-tenth.

BUSTLE EFFECT
IN FALL STYLES

merely a contribution to the fashion
for top coats. One can use a pOlon-
aiSe over any kind of skirt and blouse,
and if it is lined in the cOlorful and
interesting way that prevails among
tailOrs today, it presents itself as a
garment of rare merit.
The short jacket, however, as it
will be worn this autumn, is bit of
costumery that is taken by the back
of the neck and pulled out of the fam
lily album.
Whether or not the peculiar vaude-
vile trick of presenting a family
album in song and living pictures
which has spread over New York
through the success of one of the
musical revues of the season, was the
nobody can tell. 1t is q far-fetched
idea, no doubt, but don't you think it
is rather interesting that the stage
folk should get up a family album
scene that runs through vaudeville
fashions as dancing does, and that,
now, suddenly, that coat and skirt
should be launched into costumery?
One of these jackets which will un-
doubtedly prove a success because it
has been issued by a dominant house,
has a little hustle all IT'S own. 1t be-
| longs to O skirt that is quite narrow,
and It has a bit of an upward pull
from knees to waistline at the back
a pull so slight that it is not always
! noticeable.
The jacket fits the figure, curves in.
to the waiStline at the back and then
flares out into a series Of folds that
! give the hustle effect. 1t is buttoned
in a straight line down the front.
There is a band of velvet above the
hem of the coat. The buttons are
covered with the wine-colored velour
that makes the suit. The collar is
very high, soft in its folds, rolls over
backward to the neck line and is trim

Mind you, this style is not the only
powerful note in fashion that is
brought out for jackets. 1t is one Of
several other details, and a woman
will have the chance to accept what
she wishes.

SALT is OFTEN OVERLOOKED
All Animals That Consume Large
Quantities of Vegetable Matter
Require Some Salt.

An important item that is often over
looked in the management of dairy
cows is providing them with plenty of
salt. All animals that consume large
quantities of vegetable food require
salt. Unless cows receive plenty of
salt they will cease to thrive, and will
therefore decrease in milk flow. Some
dairymen mix the salt with the feed,
but the better plan is to keep it t.: )
convenient place where the cows may
have ready access to 1t when they so
desire.
