Floor Plan of Dairy Stable.

pass through; this carrier track eX-
tends the whole length of the COW,
stable and runs far enough into the
storage barn to load the litter carrier.
Do Not Depend on Pasturage.
The value of this arrangement may
be better understood by the study Of
one fact-that north of the forty-sec-
Ond parallel of latitude there is an
average of only six weeks of good pas
ture There are droughts sandwiched
in between late spring and early fall
frost, so that dairymen are obliged to
supply manger feed for ten or eleven
months. In fact, some of the best
dairymen don't depend on pasture, ex-
cept to have a run for the cows for ex-
ercise, fresh air and general health
OF course, they want cows to get some
picking, and this is necessary to in
duce the cows to travel about But
when it comes to actual feeding, the
stable is depended upon in summer as
well as winter. The storage of silage
and the growing of alfalfa have
brought about this change.
The old plan of growing soiling
crops is not carried on to any great ex-
tent; labor is too expensive. Silage
and alfalfa are better and cheaper. AT
the same time, good cows appreciate a
feed once day Of green stuff. 1t may
be clover, oats. succotash, alfalfa, or

up dark after the cows are MIXED
In the morning in summer. When the
blinds are shut the stable is so dark
that flies will not stay in it. Dairy
men have taken lessons from good
housekeepers in this respect. Flies
will crawl out Of very small crack
to get from darkness to light You
can't shut flies out of cow stable
that is, you can't shut them all out ;
but it is possible to shut up a stable
like this so dark that they will all
leave it between morning and evening
milking hours.
OF course the cows will carry flies
IN with them when they are stabbed in
the afternoon, and this cannot be
avoided very well. However, some

EXTRA WARM EVENING WRAPS.
Favored Garment Folds Around Figure.
and Has Double Thickness
Over Chest.

Certain economists buy semiform,
al frock that will serve for gay hours
between four and twelve p. m. with its
own coat, which relieves them, from
the purchase of an extra evening coat,
or keeps the one they possess for use
for special occasions. This is after all,
sn extravagant trick, the critics say,
for one warm long coat should serve.
The wrap of the hour is warm and
heavy. 1t is no longer of chiffon nor
does it show Itself in cape form. It
folds around the figure and has, a
double thickness over the chest. Furs
are heaped on it, and, often, there is q
return to the fashions of Charles II
in the loose undersleeve of fur that
comes out from the wide upper sleeve.
This idea, by the way, is carried out in
a few street clothes, and it catches the
fancy of those who abominate the
hiatus between the edge of a flaring
sleeve and the hand.
And such sleeves are warm. They
act like padded muff.

Dainty little pumpkin pies baked in
patty tins are great favorites with
the small people, and for the older
people they may be heaped with
whipped cream and sprinkled with fine

arl cut them into small balls with
potlto cutter. Put to cook in a rich
strap favored with lemon juice and
rinI, and cooked with the bright peel
ings of the apples for color. When
tender, cool and serve in sherbet
glasses with the juice poured over
them and spoonful of sweetened
whipped cream for garnish. This
dish, served with plain boiled rice,
is a very wholesome dessert for chill
dren.
Chestnut Soup.-Peel a quart OF
large chestnuts and boil in salted wa
ter; remove the brown peeling and
chop fine. Add teaspoonful each Of
salt and sugar, the rind of lemon
and a quart of water. Bring to boil
and cook slowly for an hour. Rub

full of flour and a tablespoonful of but

NO BAN ON STYLES
Infinite Variety and None Are
Built Alike.
Straight and Marrow Most Prominent,
With Only Sign of Any Breadth
at WaistIine.

The dresses are the great achieve
ments of season that is still young.
Among them there is an infinite vari-
ETY. and no one is built exactly like
the last one. For general lines they
use these that are straight and narrow,
the only sign of any breadth being seen
at that unexpected place, the waistline.
The line of the waist has also dropped
perceptibly and no more do we see on
the daytime frock that waiStline that
starts from point somewhere under
the arms. More likely is it to be seen
running around the hips or somewhat
above them-never an inch above the
normal placing.
The coat dress is new-and useful
in the extreme. 1t is tailored quite
formally, but it has probabilities for
the insertion of feminine diversions,
that add much to it's interest There
is one, for instance, made Of the popu-
lar blue serge, that is wrapped about
the form from shoulder to hem. The
only variety it shows is where one
side of the skirt laps over the other
when there suddenly appears a soft
satin lining Of vivid green tone.
Another one is made of dull green
velours, chemise Uncut and with wide
open kimono sleeves. At the waistline,
by way of belt, a narrow piece of
skunk fur Is seen, and, to repeat this
note of black, another bit of the fur is
used at the left side of the standing
collar, where it buttons tightly under
the ear.
Many of the collars on these dresses
are made high and thick in appear
ance. None of them fit the neck as in
seasons past. 4t
It is almost necessary now to use
| two materials in the shaping of mod
| lsh frock. The idea was started from
n thought of conservation and it sur
wives largely because of it's sheer
beauty. For afternoon and dinner
gowns, printed silks and chiffons arr
used in combination with plain silks
and chiffons. Then for more w0rka
/ day occasions combinations of WOO
and silk are more usual.
The straight fiat panel is one of thu
/ successes of the day and is seen il
every possible phase. Usually, though
1t must hang from shoulder to hem a
back, without any interruption as t.
wafstlfne. In the front, however, i
may be confined or not according t,
| whim or taste.

ORNATE HATS ARE FAVORED
1ayety of the Headaear Instead of
Size Is Given the First Con-
sideration.

All women do not go bareheaded in
he evening, as they have done for sew
sral seasons. Recently they have
adopted the French custom of wearing
ornate hats, large or small The gay
ETY. of the headgear is what counts, not
It's size. The fashion was brought
about undoubtedly by the renewed
habit of dining in restaurants and the
partial absence in these places of de-
collete frocks.
The milliners furthered the fashion.
They saw in it a brisk exchange of
goods for coin and they started the
women in small towns to carrying out
the idea even where restaurant dinners
are not a part of the social program.
There are large swirling hats of
black thread lace with wired bows of
the material across the back or front,
and a fiat ruff1e of it dropping from the
edge of the brim to shield the eyes like
u veil There are scarlet turbans of
*ulle with fountain sprays Of black

GOWNS AND HATS OF WHITE
These Promise to Be Prime Favorites
This Winter, Velvet to Figure
Prominently.

White is to have vogue this winter.
Long white coats are very smart in
deed. So much is white to be in evf-
dence this season that smart milIfners
are bringing out many hats of white
velvet, or at least showing some trim
ming of this sort introduced here and
there. After one has left youth far
behind white needs most skillful treat
ment to be worn becomingly. 1t is al
ways best to subdue it wherever pos
sible with some beading or overdrap-
ing of latticed effect.
Nothing could be prettier than the
new dinner gowns of white velvet.
They are unrelieved by any sort of or
nament. Now that welI-dressed wom-
en- do not wear jewelry Of any sort,
there is not even cleaning diamond
permitted to- be, worn with these dead
white frocks.. No sleeves, no, cersage
decorations and no sashes appear. One
can readily see that only the freshness
of youth and the most pronounced
beauty can successfully carry OFF a
white velvet froek.
Along with the vogue Of white is
that for a combination of black and
white, always much favored, but
again a fashion demanding Szillful
treatment to, be successful.

ajgrettes playing out from the sides.
There are crowns of brown or gray fur
with cartwheels of lace around them,
fitting far upon one side and down
the other, like a wheel going around
a curve at rapid speed.
These hats top one-piece frock that
is symbol of money, or they go with
a velvet, crepe or satin froek that has
an elaborate h0dice with an open neck
The fashion which was taken up by
0me designers of making black, seal,
Ind dull red velveteen frocks with
deep U-shaped neckline half filled in
with old lace and outlined by a collar
that is almost bertha of lace or en-
broidered cream batiste, has given
women a chance to wear such frocks
in the afternoon and then on into the
evening. A fur neckpiece or the col
lar of separate wrap hides the decol-
letage, and no one minds a very low
neckline indoors in the afternoon. In
truth, we have never seen such low
gowns in the daytime during this gen.

sections, SO it may be lifted up anG
rested against the front of the manger
while the stable is being swept with
a broom or cleaned with hose.
Any system of stable ventilation re-
quires temperature about so de-
grees F. to keep air in circulation. A
temperature above so may be main
tanned in a good stable in zero weather
by packing the cows close enough to-
gether. This Is, of course, likely to
lead to the old argument about the
amount of air space required for ami
mails, and this is subject that has
never been settled to the satisfaction
of dairymen. But good cowmen like
to have the air changed whether there
is much or little to change. These
men make their stable ceilings low
and are particular to have a good-sized
cow in each stall.
In building these stables in the
East dairymen are particular not to
leave any ledges to hold dust. They
use inside ceiling without beading
and they paint the celllng In Sucn
way as to fill the cracks so far as pos
sible, so the ceiling Is smooth and air
tight. For the same reason there are
no window stools. There are no un-
necessary projections anywhere on the
inside of the stable. The same idea is
followed in the stall partitions.
In this particular stable the only
support to the ceiling is from the par
tition uprights between the cows
which are cemented in the floor and
fastened to the ceiling by screws
through threaded plates. A loft over
the stable like this is notzused for any
purpose except as an air space. and
the air is changed by having win
dow in each gable. The silos are
placed between the stable and storage
barn, with room for a feed carrier to

NARROW SKIRT, TUNIc BLa aUsE
Substitute, for TaiIieur Promises to- BE
One Of Seasons Most Popular
Garments.

AS a compromise between the coat
suit and the slim frock which many
women choose for autumn street wear
there Is costume which may soon be
oyerridden by popularity. 1t consists
of a narrow skirt and a tunic blouse
that falls below the hips and is loose
ly girded with monastic cord. The
blouse has no visible fastening. It ap-
parently does not open. In truth some
of then do not open.
They slip over the head and adjust
themselves with the carelessnes OF a
PEASANTS smock. If they were tightly
banded ut the waistline with yards of
brilliant material they would be def
nitely Arabian and quite brilliant in
effect. They do not permit glrlle
to touch them.
They have a monks cord carelessly
twined below the waistline, knotted
and dropped in tasseIled ends at front
or side.
