All thoughts are turned toward
Easter now, which Is the same thing
as saying all thoughts are turned to-
ward new millinery and new suits for
spring. 1t is a delightful custom that
invites us to put on new apparel in
honor of this joyous festival. Certain
ly nothing helps more to impress Its
significance on children and young peo-
pie than the pretty clothes that give
them so much innocent pleasure. As
for women, the instinct to dress Is
as deeply implanted In them as the
Instinct for home or children.
The most important item Of the
spring wardrobe Is the tailored suit, al

should be worn on Easter day. 1t IL

spring because of the diversity Of
styles and materials that have been
presented by those who create suits.
For once In the history of tailored
suits serge is chosen less often than

Unconauered Indian Tribe.

OF great interest are the people now
living on a small island off the coast
of the peninsula of Lower California,
who have successfully repulsed all at
tempts of the white man to civilize
them. They are a huge Indian race
which has not yet been precisely
placed by ~ethnologists. They wear
pelican skins, hunt with primitive
bows and arrows and stones, fight with
their teeth and nails, and eat human
flesh. The men are all said to be over
six feet tall, and to possess Incredible
physical skill and endurance. Accord
ing to n authority, a band of four
can run down and capture a mountain
deer, which they then kill with stones.
The Serbs. as they are called, have re-
sisted over fifty attempts to conquer
them, and in all the centuries since
their discovery they have permitted
only one white man to land and hunt
on their island. He has somehow man.

The waistcoat must be given special
mention because 1t Is attracting as
much attention as suits themselves,

pictured, among many aspirants for
favor, are correct as to length of
skirt and coat. and each is provided
with a little waistcoat or vestee. In
details of furnishing they differ, and
in style one is a blouse and the other

Hats of such exquisite lines as those
that are pictured here prove that in
tailored hats, above all else, the lines
the thing with which to catch the
fancy of the chic American and all
her admirers. Three graceful shapes,
two of them having a bandeau, portray
three widely different styles, and each
emphasizes that simplicity Of trim
ming is a virtue in street hats-some-
thing that they cannot afford to ignore.
All of these hats are of black llsere,
a soft but brilliant braid, and all Of
them reveal the u~nevenness of sewing,
which is a pretty characteristic of the
STYLES. This roughness, or "bumpl-
ness" as 1t has been called, is much
admired.

: younger matrons. The very spirited
model Mt the right has a narrow brim,
guiltless of curves or rolls, and is faced

Rainbow Wonders.

The most familiar form of halo is
the rainbow. When the sunlight falls
on a cloud of Water drops on the op-
posite side of the sky, a portion of 1t
Is bent completely back, and In being
bent is reduced to its primitive colors.
The arch of the rainbow is due to the
roundness of the water drops. Rain.
bows can occur only when the sun is
near the horizon. When the sun is
high the refracted light passes over

On occasions when the sun shines un-
usually bright two rainbows may be
seen, n above the other.

KEEPING UP SOIL FERTILITY
Growing Of Green Manure Crops Must
Be Praeticed Where Other Fer
tilizer is Unavailable.

When barnyard manure, straw or
stubble, are not available for use as
fertilizer, then the growing of green
manure crops must be practiced. Soil
fertility must be kept up and there
must be the right supply of humus.
There are very few farms where
enough manure is produced 80 that the
green-manure crops are not needed.
However, where all the barnyard ma
nure Is properly saved, there is less
need for the green manures. If the
green crops, mainly the legumes, are
grown in sufficient amount for aiding
In fertility. the soil can be kept In

Cow Must Have Ample Supply Of
PaIatable Feed.

from place to place, and for milk pro-
duction. 1t is sufficient to say that
the constituents or compounds and the
relative quantities necessary for these
operations have been determined; that
is, we know that milk contains protein
and energy or h~eat-producing constit-
uents, the protein being represented
by the casein and albumin and the
energy and he~at-producing constit-
uents by the fat and sugar. In addi-
ton to the constituents or compounds
necessary for the production of milk,
she also must have the constituents
necessary for performing the other
functions mentioned. These, for con-
venience, have been classified into
proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Fats
perform much the same functions as
carbohydrates and are worth for pro-
duction practically two and one-fourth
times as much per pound as carbohy-
drates, and in the balancing of a ra-
ton are usually classed with them.
This brings us to a definition of a
balanced ration" which is a ration
containing these various nutrients in
he proportion the COW needs them.
The economical Importance of a bal
anced ration is evident. The COW a
use only certain elements or COM
pounds in certain proportions; conse-
quently, If the ration supplies an ex
cessive amount of any one, the excess
Is liable to be wasted. Not only is
this true, but as the COW has to as
simulate it ven though she cannot
use it, her capacity for production is
reduced.
In making a ration, cost is one of
the important factors. The best prac-
dce Is to compound a grain mixture
so that it will balance with the home
grown r%oughage. With this in mind,
the separate grains should be selected
to supply the necessary nutrients at
the lowest possible cost. For this, not
only the price per hundred pounds but
also the relative cost of each constit-
uent, especially protein, must be con-
sidered. For example, to determine the
cost of a pound Of digestible protein
In a given feed divide the price of 100
pounds by the per cent of digestible
protein in the feed. If this calculation
Is made for several feeds, the relative
cost of protein in each will be appar-
ent. Then the feeds that furnish pro-
tein at the least cost can be selected.
The same can be done to determine
the cost of the carbohydrates and fat,
which are the Matchmaking or energy
producing part of the feed.
