TT ANYTHING can reconcile sum
L mer-loving world to the coming OF
autumn and winter, the coats and hats
with which we are to face the cold
ought to qualify. There is nothing In
their makeup to even suggest depres-
sion and everything that speaks of
comfort and brilliance is theirs. They
are here before the autumn leaves and
will still be here when the leaves are
gone, adding as much to the glory Of
the year as lies In the power Of hu-
man beings to contribute. The coats
are made of materials that are soft,
thick, in textures that reveal the rich
ness of quiet colors.
Long lines tapering in toward the
bottom are chosen for many coats.
Very ample collars in the cape, muffler
and shawl varieties make them look
equal to protecting one against the
most frigid weather and altogether the
new models are very graceful.
One of these long, coy coats ap-
pears at the left of the two shown in
the picture. 1t is shaped to hang in
toward the bottom and has a group of
plaits down the middle of the back,
accented by rows of large covered
buttons at each side. There is very

the elbow at the back and finished
with cloth-covered buttons. Another
surprise waits in two slit pockets at
each side that find place in an I'M
looked-for drapery. Finally the coat
ends its eccentric career at the knees,
being considerably shorter than the
average.
The round hat has a duvetine crown
and a puff of brocaded ribbon about
the face. A band Of plain, narrow
ribbon, with small beads set at inter-
walls about it, finishes the band and
there are small appliqued motifs of
the narrow ribbon set on the brocade.

FLIES TORMENT DAIRY COWS
Mixture Recommended by Minnesota
Expert to Keep Pests Away
During Summer Season.

BY preventing flies from tormenting
the cows much greater flow of milk is
secured during tie summer months
and the remainder Of the lactation
period. The following homemade mix
ture has given good results at the col
iege dairy farm. It is better than sew
eral other mixtures tried and quite as
efficient as the prepared sprays cost
ting a dollar per gallon. 1t is made as
follows:
~ quarts of any standard coal tar,
dip.
IN quarts fish oil.
/ pint Of Oil of tar.
1 quart of coal oil.
u pint of oil of Eucalyptus.
Mix in ten gallons Of lukewarm soft
water in which bar Of laundry soap
has been dissolved.
Spray twice day, in the morning
after milking and in the afternoon
when cows are brought in for silage or
green feed. Vixen half barrel cart
with spray nozzle attachment is used
two men can spray herd of forty
cows in ten minutes. This mixture is
not perfect and does not keep all the
dies away and, furthermore, it leaves
the coat rather harsh and causes dust
to adhere; however, it is very bene-
ncial and practical and results in more
milk and greater comfort.-H. II. Kill
