1t always takes exceptions to prove

low. They extend little way over
the hand and are finished with mar
row binding of satin. A bit of white
gcorEette suggests an underbodice of
this lovely fabric where it shows
through the lace at the shoulders and
above the satin at the square neck.
II this gown started out with dec
lnrauon of Independence as TO Its out
lines, it makes amends by making the
most of the vogue for long silk tnsscls.
There is a very long girdle Of the satin
that is wrapped about the waist
crossed at the back and looped over
at the left side. The ends, finished
with long, handsome silk tassels, fall
to the bottom of the tunlc and little
below the bottom of the skirt.
This gown is becoming to almost any
type of figure. 1t IS digniiied and
quiet, but 1t is also brilliant. In the
picture big black satin poppy adds
its fine silllen sheen to the finish of
an exquisite frock. 1t is in black also,
but might be in some brilliant color if
occasion seemed to demand 1t.
The Ordway new era., 1918-09-06

Magnificence Is not characteristic
of any of the dressier gowns for after
noon and evening these days, but they
rejoice in simplicity and elegance.
These are the Indispensable things In
war time and the most satisfactory
in any time. Ingenuity in the manage
ment of simple trimming takes the
place of lavish work In elaborate EN-
broIderies. About all the chance left
for milady to be splendid in sumptu-
Gus clothes lies In the direction of
furs. Among these there are some su-
perb pieces. but they are bought for
n lifetime and so their case and that
of gowns are not parallel They are
allowable even when good taste for
bids other extravaganza,
An afternoon frock as presented In
the picture seems almost too simple
to need n description. 1t Is of blue
georgette over an Tunderslip of satin
and is made with n bodice and tunic
skirt. The tunic Is plated onto the
plain crepe bodice at the waistline,
which is II little higher than the nor
NAL wnlstlinc of the underslip.
Straight bands Of satin are applied to
the bodice. one of them mt each side
extends over the shoulder and down

surrounding stalks that grew under the
same conditions. (Such seed lnherits
high producing pOwer)
Stalks without suckers (Such seed
produces fewer suckers than seeds
from sucker-bearing stalks.)
Storm-proof stalks with ears at a
desirable height.
Seed corn should be selected as soon
as 1t natures because
Desirable stalks, especially early ma
turing stalks with hanging ears are
then most easily found.
Freezing weather Injuries the seed
before is becomes dry.
Warm, hot weather may cause ker-
nels to sprout before drying.
If the selection is delayed in the
South the ears may become infested
with weevils, rain moths and their
eggs.
1t is as easy, more satisfactory and
much more profitable than selecting
from cribs in the spring.

causes the formation of congestions
which resemble mosquito bites. Both
species of these flies propagate rapid
ly and require only from 10 to 16 days
In which to hatch their eggs and pro-
duce new hordes of pests which oper-
ate for COW discomfort.
Means of Eliminating Evil.
The stabling of cows during the
heat of the day in cool, darkened barns
Is recommended as one Of the best
means of eliminating the fly evil, pro-
vded adequate labor is available TO
keep the stables clean and sanitary.
As manure provides an ideal breeding
material for flies it Is imperative that
none of it be allowed to accumulate in
or around the stable. Spraying the
animals with some fly repellent, such
ms Kerosene emulsion, is an effective
remedy, but requires repeated appli-
cations. Repellents should be used
with great care, as no good one has
vet been devised which is not likely to
slightly taint the milk. 1t is best to
spray the cows Just before milking
each evening, using hand spray pump
or applying it with a brush or
sponge. There are some antifiy solu-
tions on the market which are more or
less effective. Most of them consist
of some coal-tar product combined
with either fish oil, oil of tar, or rosin.
Lime sprinkled about the barn on ma
nure is also useful in destroying files.
Cheap Fly Repellent.
To prepare kerosene emulsion-one
of the cheapest and best homemade
fly repellents-dissolveo one-half pound
of yellow soap in a gallon of soft wa
ter heated to the boiling point and with
this combine two gallons of kerosene
in n barrel where the solution can be
churned vigorously. Dilute this mix
ture with six gallons of water. This
amount of emulsion is sufficient for
spraying 100 cows and should be pre-
pared only as needed. When smaller
amounts are required they should be
prepared in the proportions given.
