PORK DAY Is ANNUAL EVENT
Hog Producer Witnesses Sale Of His
Animals and Learns Reason
for Different Prices.

Pork day is one Of the big annual
events of Kings county, California. 1t
comes In October usually. In this con-
test the farm bureau center is the
unit, and every farm bureau In the
contest advances one carload Of hogs
to be exhibited and rated by an ex-
pert judge. Every farm bureau CEN
ter must have at least six consignors
to the load, thus preventing any big
concern from exhibiting carload. In
the contest last fall six farm bureau
centers as well as a boys pig club
took part in the contest. Ten car
loads were auctioned In addition to
seven cars that had been in the con-
test
The county agent leader says in his
annual report to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture: "There
seems to be no more convincing argu-
ment to hog producer than to see
the actual sales Of his animals take
place and to know the difference in
price paid for superior quality anil
NAL
Farm bureau sales of this kind were
started In California In 1916 on the
initiative of the county agent of Kern
county. They are now becoming COM
mon in all reproducing counties Of
the state. There were 175 such sales
in 1920, with sales aggregatlng 81 ,4OO,-
600.

linen and shantung for wearing with
organdie muslin dresses, the little
coatees being in bright colors and
decked out with little fine braiding
or embroidery on neck and sleeves.
OF course on the genuine Breton
models there is no embroidery-only
a narrow binding or braid all round
the hem and up the fronts. but the
short coats of the immediate future
will be ornate, and they will look eX-
ceedingly chic and attractive when
combined with flounced and ruched
frocks made of white organdie muslin
or washing crepe.
Worth has lately made some effec-
tive theater costumes-for stage use

Berthe Bady. This actress Is notably
good dresser and the gowns worn by
her can always be copied, with sue
cess, by women who have passed their
first youth.

LEARNING BY DOING.

Boy scouts Of Greeley Colorado.
are to have fine summer camp in
the Poudre canyon. An old bridge
across the river TO the camp grounds
being In need of repair the scouts
went up into the "tall timber with
some expert loggers and helped to
get the stulls and heavy bridge timber
necessary fer the restoi alton, thus
getting in some practical logging ex-
perience. They also built about 9
mile Of road connecting with the main
highway.

Gowns to Suit the Age.

Berthe Bady Is not very young
woman and she does not pretend to be
that. She Is between thirty and forty
and always dresses to suit that age
with the result that she looks younger
than she actually is. For her Worth
designed an exquisite theater or res.
taurant wrap can confidently recon-
mend to my readers.
1t was of "Manon' outline, but in
stead OF the traditional hood 1t had a
big box frill at the neck. The material
Of this wrap was dull green satin
lined with really exquisite silver
brocade The cape was quite long-it
covered the whole dress-and II was
also very full and gathered into a
shoulder yoke. 1t was fastened in
front with long silver cords finished
with handsome tassels.
For the same actress Worth has
made an admirable evening dress
which would be ideal for a restaurant
dinner. The dress was made of a
silver lame and the design was ex-
ceedingly simple, an absolutely plain
corsage of casaquln outline, cut round
at the neck and with very short
sleeves; the waistline was long and
the skirt was draped up at the sides
to give pannie- effect.
There was no trimming whatever
| but the silver lame material was su-
perb, supple as chiffon, and so rich
that II glistened as IL covered with
diamond dust.

draperies are arranged to make the

| IT is a case of "draperies and YET

ful these draperies must be arranged

simply untidy and without meaning.

better-balanced rations was practiced
more generally. Pasturage is the
foundation Of livestock industry,
but natural pastures can be greatly
improved by thinning out woodland
areas, keeping the underbrush down,
and sowing tame grasses.
For greater assurance Of livestock
feeds during the summer droughts, to
which the section is liable, many
farmers plant sorghum, mllet and
kafir corn as auxiliary hay crops On
better-managed farms silage is also
produced for winter feed and some
times to supplement the pasture dur
Ing summer droughts. With proper
care alfalfa, clover, soy beans and
cowpeas are grown, the possibility Of
these crops, both for hay and grazing,
being clearly recognized.
The soils of the region have wide
variation In natural fertility and pro-
ductiveness. They are usually porous,
owing to the large content of stone
and gravel. AS result. air and water
circulate through them freely, and
when they are put under cultivat4pn
the humus content is quickly lost un-
less n system of farming Is adopted In
which provision is made to replenisb
the supply. If the humus content Is
lost the water-holding capacity of the
soils Is greatly reduced, and, as re-
suit, crops suffer severely during the
summer droughts and profitable yields
are then almost impossible.

To maintain the productiveness of

In the soil sufficient quantities Of

the best soils will gradually lose their

QUICK CHANGES
IN PARIS MODES

At recent race meetings In the Bois
correspondent, we have had an ex-
cellent opportunity OF reviewing pres
entEday fashions; indeed 1t would be
more correct to say ''present-hour,"
because ut this season of the year
fashions, change very frequently. Ex-
treme novelties are suddenly produced
for the purpose of making sensation
and good advertisement for some
particular dressmaker.
As frequently pointed out, the gen
eral outline remains graceful and
simple; that Is to say, the dresses
worn by our more exclusive Parish
ennes, also by American women Of re-
fined taste and assured social position.
are perfection itself, free from undue
eccentrlcity and essentially becoming.
But then we have other and widely
different fashions which are freely ex-
plotted by daring young actresses and
by women who like to find themselves
the center OF wondering crowd.
These remarkable costumes are also

sational."
At the races one realizes that long
er skirts have really become popular.
The Parisiennes have been slow to
consent to the added inches; In New
York the dresses were ankle length,
x.,hn har In A mn
jority of women wore dresses that
cut the lower limbs half way between
knee and ankle. Even now there are
many very smart Parlslennes who ac-
lively object to long walking dresses.
My personal opinion Is that the latest
models by Paul Poiret have had much
to do with this fight against the add
ed inches.
Models Long and Full.
At the beginning Of the season
Poiret launched models which were at
one and the same time long and full.
Women quickly realized that this out
line, though quaint and picturesque,
was not generally becoming; 1t called
for special type of woman and 1t
rarely suited young girls,
Perhaps this was why so many OF
our best dressmakers-the real auto
Gratis of the rue de la PaiX-have de-
cided TO retain the beautiful straight
outlines Of last year while adding
width, actually, 70 the hem of the
skirt. The reason Is not easy TO dis
cover, but the fact remains.
Paquin, Worth, Doucet, Doeullet
and others are showing lovely models
which resemble those of yesterday.
but which have much more material
pressed into their composition.
At the fashionable race meetings

feathers and algrettes-the latter as
rule artificial and cleverly made of
fine horse hair.
There is just now n craze for bushy
feathers, which make their wearer look
like savage chief In full war cos
tune. These feathers-always un-
curled and straggling-are placed In
two or three rows round the brim of
the hat or toque and allowed to fall
over the eyes.
A curious fashion, but one which
has caught on to an alarming extent.
Lewis is trying to make us accept very
wide-brimmed satin and straw hats,
which have low crowns and scanty
trimming; the genuine picture hat"
which used to be so dear TO the heart
OF the artist "Drian." These hats
will be Immensely popular when the
seaside season is in full swing, but
for Paris they seem trifle too re-
markable.
AS matter of fact they are not
really so remarkable as the small
toques covered with struggling al
grettes and feathers, which are now so
generally worn. but the big picture"
shapes are unexpected. II Is quite a
long time since we have worn them.
Short Jackets Popular.
The growing popularity OF short
jnckets Is something that must be
taken into consideration. They are
shown IN all the best Gressmaking
studios and'it is certain that they will
become very popular.

TIE DESIGNERS WAY WITH STRIPES.

We hear, and talk so much about

The Source of stripes.
Once in a while one is struck
rather forcibly with some detail or
other that present designers have

predecessors. 1t would be an inter

in women's clothes, and the conclu-
sion would doubtless be that never
until the present era had designers
appreciated the full decorative ef-
feet of the stripe as used in connec-
tion with the lines of woman's form
The decorative principle involved
is not new one. The Egyptian tenn

Tearooms have changed consider
ably during recent years. Formerly
the majority of these served only
light, dainty lunches and afternoon
tea for shoppers. Good tearooms now
correspond in character and admin
istratiosi to q well ordered lunchroom
where well cooked and substantial
food is attractively served, and where
the surroundings are artistic and
homelike. The manager is0lso host
ess, personally superintendlRg the de-
tails of service and cafefRy consid-

Meal service is both table d'hote and
p la carte. some tearooms having both.
This depends to some extent upon the
location. the needs of a residential
district being more adequately met
by the table d'hote meal Breakfast
is the meal least frequently served,
and in the shopping and business dis
tricts luncheon and afternoon tea are
often the only meals given.
Preparation Necessary.
A good training in household SCI
ence. with special attention to prob

preparation for this field. State col

to a degree. Other well known
schools and colleges, such as Sim
mons College, Teachers College, Pratt

many state normal schools provide
this instruction. Special courses in
management are now
given by a number of schools and
colleges including those mentioned
