Better Cows Needed.

The number of dairy COWS in the
United States is increasing, as well as
the number of people, but not at the
same rate. In only two years out of
the last six has the dairy-cow popu
lation increased in proportion to the
increase in human population.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has just completed
study of the utilization of milk, in
which it is shown that slightly more
than 1000 pounds of milk per capita
is used annually in one form or
another. In other words, grand
total of 114,666, 201,000 pounds of
whole milk is utilized in this coun-
try by manufacturing it into various
products. by feeding it to calves, or
for household purposes. This amount
was produced by 26,252,000 COWS, an
average production of 4,36S pounds
of milk per COW.
During the last few years the in
crease in population has been around
one and one-half million people an
nually This would mean that, with
COWS no better than those we have at
present, the milk COW population
should increase at the rate of 375,-
600 year to supply the necessary
l 900 pounds for each person-or
one COW for every four people. 1t is
also interesting to note that the per
capita consumption Of milk in 1924
was fourteen pounds more than in
the preceding year.
Since our average production is
much too low, it is not wise to con-
slider meeting the demand for in
creased supply by having more COWS
of the kind we now have but it
would be much better to meet the
situation by breeding better cows.
Not more cows, but higher-producing
cows, are what is needed to keep pace
with the increase in population

Kinds of Chinchillas,

Chinchilla is such a beautiful fur
that women find 1t irreBistible-if
they have the money TO pay for it
and even when they haven't all like
to linger in the fur department to
admire its delicate beauty
Is 1t any wonder that a chinchilIa
wrap Is so costly? It is made from
the fur coat of a little burrowing
mouse that has its home in the noun
tains Of South America, and, all told
the tiny fellow measures only or 10
inches long in his priceless little
body. He has Il ridiculously long tail
and short front legs and long hind
legs, and feeds himself with his fore
paws like a squirrel AS a matter
of science, he belongs TO the squirrel
family. His fur is a grayish or dark
blue slate, or maybe you would call
1t pearl, and 1t Is as soft as down.
1t takes so to 100 Of these small
skins to make the coat or wrap that
we have been coveting, and which
sells for 100000 or 10000,
Chinchilla has a comparatively short
nap, of a blush gray color, with
smoke-Color surface shadings. 1t is
an exquisite, soft, downlike fur, one
Of the most-if not actually the most
delicate in existence. Consequently
IT is much less durable than other
furs which do not cost us so much.

From Flower Petals.
Perfume is the distilled essence Of
overs. 1t is an exotic. a pure fragrance,
rong and volatile. Because of its very
lture it is costly. Millions of flower
.etals make but the tiniest amount of
perfume. 1t is no wonder that "A single
drop of perfume gives "a far-reaching
aroma. 1t takes less than drop to give
sufficient fragrance to be satisfying or
agreeable about ones self. For this rea-
son bottles of fine perfume frequently
come with long glass shoppers. The tip
of the glass end that has been in the
perfume is but touched to a handker-
chief or ones garments, and the tiny
amount of the liquid absorbed is enough
TO give a delicate fragrance. Ii is easy
to see that a small vial Of perfume
should last a long time. 1t is important
to keep the bottle alright lest more
escape than is used.
Synthetic Perfume.
inexpensive perfumes are either diluted
or are synthetic. That is, the odor is not
distilled from flowers, but is made from
some laboratory chemical combinations
that give forth a similar scent. The
faStidiOuS person uses only the distilled
perfume, and uses it sparingly. not nee
essarily for economy's sake, but because
that is the correct way.
Toilet Waters.
Toilet waters and colognes are lotions.
refreshing to use and having only
enough of the distilled perfume in them
to make them delightfully."- fragrant. They
are intended to be used freely The
finest colognes are often used instead of
perfume. The scent Is not too lasting.
Colognes and toilet waters of various
sturts are used by both men and women.
Men dse them after shaving. The alco-
hol in them is antiseptic, and the fra
GRANGE is pleasant A little toilet water
can be used either alone to battle ach-
ing foreheads or it can be added TO cold
water used for the purpose. The very
name toilet water" indicates that ii is
meant to be used when making ones
toilet, and it is used in many ways ac-
cording to the individuals preferences.
\ few drops in the water when washing
the face and hands is a bit of luxury
many indulge in. There is an inyig-
Grating element about these lotions that
is their main characteristic. Since they
are used so freely it is fortunate that
they are inexpensive, compared with
the cost of perfumes.

WHEN WE co SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND III. ALLEN.

But chinchilla has become very scarce;
In fact, fine specimens are exceeding
ly rare. and therefore very costly.
The chinchilias which furnish tbesa
wraps all come from South America.
and can be divided into three Erours
the Perus or royals. the Bolivias
and the Platas.
The Perus come from the higher
attitudes of the Andes They are al
most extinct and only a few hun
dred are caught each year. Their
value is so great that IL can hardly
be expressed commercially. The Bo-
liYias are taken at a lower altitude
and consequently. while the depth Of
the fur sometimes equals that OF the
Perus, the color never quite attains
the beautiful blue-gray tinge OF the
other skins. This group, too, is be-
coming very rare. The Platas abound
at the foot of the mountains, and are
falr4y numerous. They are the small
est of the chinchillas, and their fur
is nat" in comparison with the
others. The color will be found vary
Ing through all shades of gray to
light brown and yellow.
The best chinchIlla is what we call
blue" II should have no tinge Of
yellow. or a dirty, sooty look. That
which is pale in color should sell
for less than the dark.

Perfumes, Colognes, Toilet Waters
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

There is a felicitous use Of perfumes,
c1iognes and toilet waters. just as there
is an inappropriate use OF them. To bar
them from cne's toilet accessories is a
mistake. To use them indiscriminately
Is equally an error. To be redolent with
