w TOMEN thought that clothes
N simplicity and wartime had
w marched over the horizon
hand in hand.
Ornateness was INDUCED in to such
a degree after November that our
clothes became overornamental. A
rococo period was threatened.
France was the prime offender in
non-essentials in clothes. Small, futile,
insignificant things dotted the surface
of apparel.
When the Paris creations arrived In
America, the apostles of simplicity. Of
the severe line and the unbroken sur
face. felt that the world OF fashion had
suddenly dropped back into that era Of
Victorianism which has been cele-
brated for its ugliness.
The public knows how distressing
these clothes were in their apparent
desire to reach somewhere, yet getting
nowhere. They looked like birds nests
TO which had been brought all the odds
and ends found In window stills and on
the street.
simplicity slipped out OF existence.
Whatever was complicated was con-
sidered fashionable. Sashes. flowers,
feathers, spangles, ruffles, gewgaws
and furbelows were abundantly be-
slowed upon every garment.
Anything that was not ornate was
splendid. If 1t had simplicity Of line, it
struck ono between the eyes because
of its color. its sumptuous fabric, and
the splendor of its trimming.
What happened? No one knows.
Possibly a group Of women became
irritated over the complicated dressing
that was offered them after the ease
and simplicity of war clothes.
1t Is a difficult thing to ask a woman
to accept discomfort after she has had
comfort. TO give her the non essentials
after she has had q firm grip on the
essentials.
After uniforms, overalls, apron tun-
les. gowns that slipped on over the
head and coats that enveloped the
figure ones patience was tried to the
breaking point by gowns that required
n maids services, a long mirror and
half an hour or more to dress.
And Just when the world thought
that it would have to accept foolish
little frocks. fussy little wraps and
complicated neckwear. the designers
suddenly turned back to wartime sim
plicity and put out clothes that might
Lave been invented for a lightning
change artist!
The Incoming simple Gown.
Whatever the force that swept aside
the complicated frock, it should re-
ceive its due tribute of gratitude. The
simple frock has been reinstated in
the wardrobe OF the woman who
dresses we'll and the woman who has
learned a tremendous lesson through
the war-that life can be simplif1e,i
and material possessions discarded
without bringing hardship or unhap-
piness, and that all of us built a
Tower OF Babel which brought con-
fusion 10 the builders.
There Is an aching desire in ever;
heart. or ct least in the hearts Of those
who have learned a lesson in the last
four years, to remain quietly on the
ground and not ascend to per,lous
teights. TO go calmly about ones bust
ress and not construct life into a pic
ture puzzle that wears one out In it's
solution.

the stockings in place.
In fact. il the public wants to be
shocked 1t is just as well for it to
know that stockings rolled over an
elastic at the calf of the leg are worn
by hundreds OF the best behaved
women. They have abandoned long
stockings along with corsets, muslin
underclothes, belts and frills.

the apparel OF the Directoire has

This does not mean that the con-
tour of Directolre frocks has been all
together accepted; It means that the
idea is here and It prevails.
This idea is one Of extreme SIM
pliclty, an almost total disregard of the
various methods by which a woman's
body is encased or turned from its
natural lines, or protected.
Whatever is combining has been
abandoned. Whatever is restraining
has been thrown to the winds.

That herd is very poor indeed in which
a grade bull can make any marked
improvement.
The registered scrub comes Of low
producing registered ancestors, there
fore he transmits only inferior quail
ties to his calves. Registration is not
enough to guarantee production. Per-
manent dairy herd improvement can
never come from the scrub, the grade

eliminate the scrub and establish
scrub-free areas in every state?

The COW requires not only materials
for maintenance but must also have
protein. fat and carbohydrates to
make milk from. The milk contains
water, fat, protein (casein or curd),
sugar and ash, and these are all made
from the constituents of the food. If
insufficient protein, fat and carbohy-
drates are contained IN the food given
her the COW supplies this deficiency
for a time by drawing on her own
body, and gradually begins TO shrink
in quantity or quality of milk, or both.
The stingy feeder cheats himself as
well as the COW.

DAIRY NOTES

A good silo requires also a good
ensilage cutter.
In the dairy business harvest con-
tinues the year around.
You never saw a COW that would
not do better work on good silage than
without it.
For a COW that refuses to let down
her milk, feed of something while
milking often helps.
The biggest leak in the dairy busi-
ness comes through keeping two cows
to do the work of one.
To estimate the amount of feed left
in the silage, figure 1 cubic foot OF
silage as equal to 40 pounds.
Letting butter drain well before
sailing is one of the little things that
help the favor. also keeping qualities.

fish oil, quarts coal oil, 3 quarts
whale oil and IL quarts oil of tar.
Those who have few cows will find
that cream separator will save time
and labor which are convertible into
money. Much expensive cream is
wasted In skimming the cream the old
way.

FEED AND SALT REGULARLY
Cow Becomes Accustomed to Getting
Meals at Certain Time-Devi-
alton Causes Worry.

A COW is pretty much a creature Of
habit. She becomes accustomed to
getting her feed at a certain time each
day and if that time arrives without
the feed she worries about Ii and this
affects her milk production. For this
reason regularity in feeding is very
important. Also watering and sailing
the water should be good. 1t is mis-
take TO require cows to drink tainted
water, for it certainly impairs the
health If it does not affect the quality
of the milk. The man who provides
properly for the wants of his cows
has right to expect that they will re-
pay him in a more abundant milk flow.
