Vast extremes of preference are be-
Ing exhibited by the American woman
in her choice OF clothing And, OBJ
serves prominent fashion writer,
who can say that she is not showing
a degree of originality hardly expect
ed from her by some of the more skep-
teal? There are the knickers once
connned to mountain climbing, and
only among the courageous few at
that. Now they are agitating the
question of wearing knickers for all
business occasions. The bobbed-haired
girl and the shOrt-skirted miss are
completely cast into the shadow for
all radical purposes when it comes to
this suggested departure.
In the Far West, where mountain
climbing and horseback riding are the
usual things for women, the knicker
suit has found much favor, and there
the women in their colorful tweeds
with woOlen stockings are numerous.
or course, the sporting goods stores
have been selling knickers for some
time past, and with a degree of sue
cess, but they hardly anticipated they
were setting the style for city clothes.
Nor can it be said, as yet, that this is
a fact; but there Is a real tendency in
that direction, for women have be-
gun to agitate the idea, and when that
has happened, there is no telling
where or how the controversy will end.
1t was so when the short skirt started
its career.
knickers Made of Homespuns.
The smartest of the knicker suits are
made of those rough-and-ready home
spuns which have been worn and loved
for a season or more. The bright col
Ors, and the more sOmber ones, are
used to make the suits with trousers
instead of skirts. The knickers reach
below the knees, where they are full
and blOusy, looking akin to golf trou-
sers, and are met by very "spiffy"
looking woolen stockings. The more
fashionable ones among them are sup
piled with suit coats, but there are
others made with capes for accompani-
ment-modest capes that can be
wrapped about the figure, almost if
not quite Disgusting the fact that
knickers are there at all. They are
severely plain in tailoring and cut,
and they are so loose and untitled in
their style that they suggest sweet
and retiring things compared with
the scant dresses to which our eyes
have become accustomed on the sum-
mer streets. There is nothing un-
wOmanly about these new outdoor cos
tunes, brit some one will declare them
unbecoming. Then will another fash
ion fight be staged which will be ex-
tremely good for the fashion, but OBJ
jectors cannot realize the fact.
In contrast to this mode of mannish
tailoring there are the soft, clinging
styles which have forced their subtle
way upon us until they have become
a distinct part of our dressing. All
of that hardness and that "steel con-
structiOn look is being slowly but sure
ly eliminated, and if you want evil
dence of this all you need to do is to
visit any of the smart places for lunch
just to appreciate the fact that wom-
ems clothes are becoming more cling
ing and more graceful and less sub

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
A great deal of trouble and none
tary loss sustained by producers and
shippers in marketing hay has been
found by the bureau Of markets and
crop estimates, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, to be due to
careless weighing.
Weighing by the Bale.
In several sections of the country
II Is the custom to weigh hay by the
bale at the time for baling and to note
the weight upon tag made of card
board or other convenient material at
tached to the bale beneath one of the
bale ties. When weighing by this
method great care should be taken to
weigh the hay accurately. During the
rush of baling operations sufficient
time is frequently not allowed for the
scales to come to a balance and there
may be as much as ten pounds diff
ference between the actual and the
catch weight.
! Special care should also be taken in
writing the correct weight upon the
tag, say the bureaus specialists. 1t
Is the common practice in some Sec
tions to use only numbers ending in
0 or in recording the weight, and
to give or take from the actual weight
a sufficient amount to make a number
with such an ending. For example,
the weight of a bale weighing 81
pounds is written as 65 pounds and
that of one weighing 6S pounds as 20
pounds. The tendency, however, is
ITO take" more frequently than ito
give" so that it is a better practice
to state the actual weight upon the
tag.
Another, practice which is often
charged back to the producer in low
er prices or in weight claims, disprO-
portionate to the actual loss, is the
use at a much later date of tag
weights placed upon the hay at the
time of baling. Unless hay has been
thoroughly cured and has been in
the NOW or stack for a considerable
time there is likely to be a loss in
weight while hay is in storage after
oaling, due to additional loss of mois-
lure. Each purchaser desires, and has
a right to obtain, the actual quantity
of hay for which he pays. If bales
are short Of the weight specified upon
the tags there are grounds for a claim,
either in the form of price conces-
sion or of weight claim. In either
case the adjustment of the claim is
likely to be less economical to the
producer than the actual reweighing
Of the hay. The producer or shipper
should be prepared to prove that the
weight of the hay at the time of sale

RETAIN ALL GOOD PRODUCERS
Relatively Few Hens Will Prove
Profitable After Their Second
Laying Season.

Hens showing Indication of having
been good producers throughout the
year should be retained for the next
year regardless of their age, but rela-
lively few hens will prove to be profit
able producers beyond their second
laying year if of the heavier breeds,
such as the Plymouth Rock, Rhode
Island Red, WyandOtte or Orpington,
or beyond their third laying year if
of the lighter breeds such as the Leg

SAVE CORN FOR EXTRA SEED
Excellent Plan to select Enough to
Serve for TWO or Three Years
Paintings.

When corn is selected from the field
for seed, the United States Department
of Agriculture urges that enough seed
be selected to serve for two or three
years paintings. This is essential in
the origination and perpetuation OF
high-yielding varieties adapted to local
conditions. Seed corn that natures
well and dries out promptly without
injury will keep its good terminating
and yielding power for four or five
years. Often a bad season will pre-
vent the selection of desirable corn for
seed. But homegrown seed corn of
the best quality can be always avail
able by protecting a sufficient quantity
from moisture and from insects and
other animals.

wear. They will astOnish you by the
beauty and simplicity which are theil
alluring characteristics. Do not think
that they take little material. They are
draped and folded so miraculously
that one fails to see where all the
long plicatures are hidden. One plat
is piled upon another, and altogether
they are drawn into drapings and
folds conveying the impression they
represent one plain and simple line.
Upon examination, one finds that lay
ers upon layers make up this effect,
and accomplished in so artistic and
workmanlike a manner that, for the
magic of necromancers, it has any
previous sleight-of-hand trick wiped

Sinking in her general appearance,
and anyone who follows this general
rule will not be going far astray. If
she cannot afford furs, the loveliest of
wraps have been designed for her
outside covering. There are capes and
beautiful coats with wide and flow
ing sleeves that cannot be distin-
guished from wraps, luxuriously inter-
lined, and the visible Innings are
things to ,conjure with, so colorful and
soft are they. A wrap lining this year
is a thing to be studied with rever-
ence, 1t being no simple matter, but
combination of silk and chiffon, and
gilt edgings, and bits of lace-any-
thing that will add to an ensemble to
make that wrap look as though it
were designed to snuggle around the
shoulders of a fairy princess. The
cOlors and the materials vie with each
other in adding a modicum of charm.
For street and restaurant wear there
are tints of dust, and sand, and taupe,
and dark gray, and putty color and
any of those tones, even unto ele-
plants breath, which defy description
as to just what shades go to make
them distinguished. They are back
grounds of beauty, so to speak, rather
than adornments of that same fem
mime characteristic.
