Novelties for Coming Season
Have Made Their Appearance.
,Dolman, It Is Predicted, Will Be a
Leader for Fall Wear-Desians in
Square Cut Short Coats Shown.

Midsummer fur sales this year have
many novelties to offer, not so much
in new pelts as in the shape and gem
eral style design Of the garments.
The dolman is to be a leader, It is
said, and it will appear in a variety Of
lengths. For the wOman who likes .ex-
IRENE styles Il number of fitted models
are being brought out. One of the
newest is called the "redingote" be-
II t. is really cut much on the
sans general style line as the redin-
cote dress, with fitted bodice section
and long skirt of peplum, usually cut
away in front so that u front panel of
the skirt or dress over which it is
worn maybe een
Another novelty is the square cut
short coat with loose panel back, COL
lar. and cuffs Of fur contrasting with
that used for the coat proper. Collars,
especially when made of a different
fur from that used for the coat, are
usually enormous affairs, really large
enough TO qualify as small separate
capes.
The smart little neckpiece of one or
two skins sold in the spring will. not
be discarded Immediately by. Dame
Fashion, and the woman who owns one
may wear it with perfect serenity right
through the autumn days as an ac-
compartment for her tailored street
frock or untrimmed tailored suit.
Mink, marten and sable were the most
used pelts for these smart little neck
pieces. They We're shown made of one,
two or three skins, the smaller ones
being little more than choker collars.
Full length fur coats are shown, but
by far the smartest models are those
that are hip or three-quarter length,
except, of course, when designed for
evening wear. For general wear the
full length coat is heavy, and a short
model is not only less expensive but
gives all the protection required.

became more costly; hence the high
prices. But the unprecedented pros
perity of the people as a whole en-.
abled them to afford the increased
cost. In fact, laboring people prob
ably consumed more meat during the
past year than in prewar times"
Quantity Increases "Remarkable!"
"The total number of cattle slaugh.
tered in 1918 is estimated at 1880.
4O0,"' says the bureau, "as against 49,.
$500 in 1917. Their average weights
were practically the same for both
years, and the beef produced from
them was 6,6s6,O0O,00O pounds in 1917
and 7,641, 100000 pounds in 1918. This
was a remarkable achievement. as it
hardly would have been credited that
beef growers could increase their pro
duction a billion pounds in one year.
"The hog natures quickly, therefore
a much more rapid increase would be
looked for than was the result with
cattle. Even so, the results for 1918
can be described only as stupepdous.
The hogs marketed in 1913 numbered
69,S54,700, as against 57,4S3,S0O in
1917. Furthermore, the average weight
was 915 pounds more per hog in 1913.
Thus, when the animals are turned
into pork and lard we have q total pro.
duction of 11,225,G64.NOO pounds in
1913. as against S,47S,22S9,O00 pounds
in 1917, an increase of 22,747,355,O 900
pounds, or 32.4 per cent, nearly one.
third"
Striking increases in exports are
also shown by the bureau. Beef ship.
ments abroad in 1918 were "a per cent
more than in 1917, the chief 1918 items
being 514,O00,000 pounds of fresh beef
and 141, 100000 pounds of canned beef.
Exports of pork and lard in 1918
amounted to 2,279,2S7,O3O, which was
III per cent more than the quantity
sent abroad in 1917.
The bureau shows that in the aggre.
gate more meat by far is eaten in the
United States than in any other coun.
try in the world, although some sparse.
~ settled countries raising much meat
have. a larger per capita consumption.
1t also says that there is in the
United States for a great expansion
in the use of mutton and lamb.

ment of Agriculture.)
American dressed-meat production,
including lard. amounted in 1918 to
20, 129,O 900, 900 pounds-a quantity new
or before approached in magnitude by
the livestock industry of this or any
other country. The corresponding fig
ure for 1917 was 1851, 5000 pounds.
Three-fourths Of this enormous in
crease was in pork and one-fourth was
in beef.
The meat surplus in 1918 was so
great that extra export demands made
little impression on it, although 1918
export shipments of meat and lard
nearly doubled the 1917 figures, rising
from slightly less than m and three
fourths billions pounds to slightly
more than three billion pounds-and
these figures Go not include shipments
to American military forces abroad.
The aggregate 1917 consumption of
dressed meat and lard in the United
States was approximately !4,5OO,000,-
600 pounds, but in 1918 it rose to IT,
250,00O.O0O pounds. This means, after
allowing for increase in population, an
addition of % pounds for every man,
woman and child in the country, de-
spite the food-conservation campaign
which in 1917 caused consumption to
decline considerably.
How Shortage Became Surplus.
"While the people as a whole,
through their abstinence averted the
immediate crisis, it was the farmer
who was the really big factor in the
ultimate situation" says the bureau

partment Of agriculture, which is au-
thority for the foregoing statement.
'"The producer, of course, was expect
ed to do his part, but did it with such
powerful effect that in a single year
the meat shortage was turned into a
pronounced surplus. Thus in 1913 there
was not only meat enough to supply
all foreign demands compatible with
the restricted shipping facilities but
a greatly enlarged quantity was avail
able for the home consumption.
ITO be sure, it cost the farlner more,
very much more, to feed his animals
and get them to market. Likewise all

EVIDENCE OF INSTINCT IN PLANTS

| (written Specially For The Bsllletin.) We talk glibly enough about fin stinct' in animals. though we all have
 to admit when driven into corner
 that we don't know what it is nor how
 it works. But we all know that there is something in the four footed kinds which governs their conduct and which yet does not seem to be reason.
 It is instinct" which guides the newborn calf's mouth to it's mothers udder: instinct" which, when you take the calf away and set out to milk the mother, leads her to hold up" her milk for her calf.
 The romances of the nature-fakers are full of wonderful tales of this ami mai instinct some of which are very likely, true. The experience of every farmer who has to deal with animals contains more or less remarkable in stances of the same functioning.
 But what about "instinct' in vese- tables.

 But, if it isn't instinct" then what is it which enables plants to pick and choose their food and. on occasion and by compulsion. change their routine of life?
