When worked on cattle ranch In

named Hank. who was a genuine
woman hater, writes correspondent.
His mother died when he was a child,
sand stepmother, stepslsters and step
aunts had treated the boy so unklndly
that he learned to dlstrust and dislike
all women. II by chance any woman
stopped at the ranch house Hank
would seek other quarters.
He often deplored the fact that
western cooking did not measure up
to eastern standards. Well, Hank be.

stunned when he announced that he
was to marry girl who cooked In
boarding house In town.
However did II happen?" I asked
IN amazement.
"Slmple enough" he made answer.

Mississippi farmer-thls. In state
where only few years ago no cooper

But once the advantages OF market

been successfully demonstrated coop
eratlve organizations sprang up every
where throughout the state almost
overnight
True, many OF them were formed
hastily; and the farmers soon learned
that the success of cooperative en-.

more than the mere willingness OF Bill

belief In the soundness Of the coop
erative principle. these obstacles dis
solved before the whole.hcarted efforts
excrted by the members working to-
gether. To the county agents Of Mis-.
sisslppi is due the credit OF Initiating
and developing this work.
With the thought that other farmers
may find them OF value, some OF the
methods pursued are here given.
Grading Better Than Marking.
In shipping hogs 1t was found that
the grading method was better than
marking as to ownership. Well-iin.
ished barrows and open gifts are
graded according TO weight. and pack
er sows are graded according TO size,
quality and finish. Hogs OF any class
that are poor and emnciated are classi-
fed as skins" Special methods of
bedding and loading have also been
devised. Similar methods are ap-
piled TO cattle and sheep.

ciently to make it a leading fashion.
There is something awkward and un-
finished about n plain silk jersey
skirt. The hem appears to be vague
and uncertain OF itself. 1t has tend
ency to twist. to turn and break into
irregular outline.
In France. and also i'm London. the
best designers have abandoned the
sport suit of silk jersey to a large
extent. using the material for after
noon frocks. Even when il is turned
into morning street gown it is
draped. These designers Lave seen,
finally. the necessity for using all
their effort to keep the material out
of straight hem.
If the silk and wool knitted fabric
Is substituted for silk jersey. 1t Is
probable that we will relegate the
latter TO draped gowns aud take up
with the modern thing for all that
apparel which is usually Supplied by
homespun, polo cloth, serge and even
satin.
The knitted frOcks were brought to
this country a year ago. They are
not new to the minority or to those
who must continually watch the hori-
zon Of fashion: but they are new to
the majority. for they did not venture
far from their orig inAi landing place.
They were somewhat bulky. They
left a good deal to be desired. In
Paris last summer the knitted gowns
were a distinct improvement on the
early ones.
The silk ones were without haw.
They made the best kind of warm
weather frock under topcoat. They
were worn with fur Jackets for mo-
toring, for country house parties and
even for travel. In pale gray with a
silver belt they were even linked up
to sable coats for lunch parties and
the matinee. They did duty in the
drawing room when one drank tea at
o'clock. Women who wore them in
this country bought them In Paris.
where they had been alIured by their
grace and their prospect Of service.

have them made by an expensive
house in a fashionable quarter. These
gowns were a development Of the
knitted sweater. The short garment
had grown into long one. 1t had
taken on size during the war, and 1t
Is this fashion that we will confront
at the binning of spring.
There is n house in Paris that is
giving over its entire seasonal out
put to such frocks. In betw ecen these
are sandwiched sweaters that have
never been seen bufore. They have
departed from the conventional path.
They are out on the primrose path
and seemingly enjoying themselves
to the full.
The whole trend OF fashion in this
direction Is going toward the wide
and standardized acceptance, so some
say, OF the knitted garment. One does
not want the hand knitted sweater
or frock: 1t is apt to be clumsy
although this will not Danish 1t from
the wardrobes Of those who know
how to knit and those whose friends
present them with such gifts: but the
knitting machine has been perfected
50 that IL handles the meshes OF " DOL
and silk threads well and produces
a compact and serviceaOle surface.
1t is prophesied that such fabric
will take the place OF wool and silk
jersey this spring and summer and
there scaRs every reason to believe
that this will happen i'm France. IL
not in America. 1t will be interest
ing to watch what will come about
In this country before. the warm

nue. des Acacias. or at Deauyil1e. there
was not flaw from head to foot in
the color scheme or the harmony Of
the various articles OF clothing she
wore.
She, al least. never made the mis- :
take which Americans constantly
make and are Indifferent to that OF
wearing pointed patent leather pumps
with cut steel buckles below a wOOlen
sweater, a white shirt waist and a
plaid skirt.She was An artist.
When the story OF her sweaters was
repeated to an American woman the
latter opened q special closet near her
room and showed twenty-five Of these
garments hanging in row. She was
not so far behind the Baronne de
Rothschild. But. then, she had sum-
mered at Biarritz and caught the
fashion.
These two instances are not typical,
but they are symbolic of the way
women went after sweaters. They

There Is no reason to suppose they

the past. America will accept them a
year after their inauguration in Paris.

short vamp. you know, and the cap

even violent opposition.
the knitted frock becomes an ac-
tuality Of fashion and not merely a
fantastic caprice by those who fol-
low Paris. IL is to be expected that
the sweater in it's de luxe edition
will follow along with it's heightened
sister.
That's the way the cards seem to
fall today.
The idea of substituting a sweater
Tor blouse. for short tOpcoat or
a tunic Is making strong headway in
the minds OF the designers. Smart
women are fcregathering at ecuntr,
clubs. or wherever there is outdoor
activity, wearing this new kind of
sweater which carries its own Orna-
mental collar and bel, and has little
to do with a blouse. unless it uses it
as a long -sleeved corset cover
The fashion for the separate skirt,
which grows apace, for the ornamental
tunic blouse that Is worn with tai
lored suit and is sponsored by Paris
as part Of a three-piece costume. is
promise for the popularity OF the orr
nate sweater.
II the designers can make sweaters
that appear like tunics, that are
neither bulky nor ungracefui, that
are full of color and style. the acceptance
of the fashion is apparent. Women
will buy them as IL they were star
tling new creation in style. They will
wear them under tOpcoats. They will
find that such a sweater is a most
protective and comfortable garment
under q short fur coat on snapvy
spring days.
