Styles in Hat SELECTING STOCK BEEF FOR PROFITABLE RETURN' DARING SECOND CASEMAN CF THF CHICAGO CUDS. c Points to Consider In Chooslncr Steers for Fnltenlnj Typi und Sizu Are Essential lty I'rof. Thomas I. Malrs C K p The three hats illustrated here are entirely different from each other. Each one Is typical of one of the throe distinct classes of millinery the "dress" hat, the "semi-dress" hat and the "utility" hat. Milliners usually distinguish these classes by the terms dress hata, trimmed hats and tail ored hats. Fig. 1 Is an example of the "dress" hat, which we are all prone to call a pattern hat. It Is a chamois colored felt trimmed with marabout down and roquc feathers; not an extreme ex ample of dainty and fragile millinery, but too light and too elaborate for ordinary wear. The time when one hat had to do service for all occa sions, Is long past. This hat and oth ers of Its class are out of place for general wear. If one can only afford a single hat, she must turn her fane resolutely away from this character of millinery. A trimmed hat which will be very generally useful Is shown in Fig. 2. It Is of black corded silk trimmed with a very large bow made of black taffeta silk, having the ends fringed out. The bow Is mounted with a large bunch of black silk violets at one side and the hat is one of those becoming new shapes which turn up In the back and are lifted, In a slight angle, from the brow. These silk hats come In all the Beason's fashionable colors, so that one's choice is not limited in the mat ter of color. White hats with black facings (and the reverse) are made up with black trimming Into models of great distinction. This bat is a good choice for women who do not PRINCESS COSTUME This coLtume Is in old rose cash mere; the dress Is a semi fitting Prin cess, with panel back and front atltched at each edge; two flat pleats extend from the panel each side, and are fixed under a pointed tab of silk; folds of silk are laid under the edge cf panel, and partlv fill In the round nock, the over-sleeves being bound with the same. The small yoke is of silk muslin. Materials roquired: Three yards, 46 inches wide, 3-4 yard silk. Scant Skirts. In spite of the many rumors to the contrary, the newest skirts still give the scant effect about the feet. They are, many of them, especially those having the Pyznntine yoke, made quite full above the knees by means of side plaits and in other ways, but about the ankles they ngnln become tight fitting. This is dono by the use of weights in the hem, and also by the absence of stiff petticoats, oftentimes the soft satin lining of the skirt It self being the only covering below the knees. Home Gowns. The marked departures In home gowns are a short skirt and a collar Jess and half-decollete neck. The aemi-decolletages are not only allowed, but commanded by fashion. If the Deck Is covered at all by the after noon dress, It Is only by transparent fabrics that never rise above the col lar line. Harper's Bazar. go out often and who feel n dressier model unnecessary. It is a beautiful hat for church wear. Worn with bright, dressy gowns, it will serve for a multitude of social occasions. In fact a hat of this character is very generally useful and comes nearer to answering all requirements, than any other sort. In Fig. 3, a tailored hat Is shown. The shape Is nobby and mannish and Is covered with plain taffeta silk shirred onto the frame. This and similar shapes are sliown covered with the moire and corded silks which nre found on all kinds of millinery this season. For these hats the trimming is of tho very simplest character. It amounts to only a finish of some sort. A hand and flat bow of velvet, kid or ribbon. Sometimes a buckle or other ornament is used. A simple rain proof feather is not out of place, but the best effects are those in which feathers and flowers are conspicuous by their absence. This is the hat for the tailor-made costume for the street and for traveling. In the estimation of many people of excellent taste and judgment, it 's the sort of millinery which should be worn at church. It is smart, inconspicuous and well made, like a tailored gown. Those hata that are made of plain silk are easier to keep from dust than the shirred varieties. In passing it should be remembered that hats must be dusted with very soft brushes or wiped off with a scrap of plush or vel vet. Nothing Is quite so good as a piece of silk plush for keeping mil linery clean. RUSSIAN CAFTAN MUCH LIKED Practical Fashion Has Been Eagerly Taken Up and Made a Sea son's Mode. One of the newest and most practi cal of fashions that are being adopted Is the Russian caftan, a coat like gar ment which Is similar to that worn by Tolstoy, the great Russian author, in pictures, with which we are familiar. The coat has a round or square neck, a slightly bloused bodice part and a straight bottom edge that ends Just above the knees. It Is confined at tho waist line by a satin belt; or, to make it more realistic, a silk cord. The edges of the coat are bound with satin; for winter garment.. bands of fur will be used. The fastening is of ornamental or perfectly plain but tons and satin cord or braided but tonoholes. This style may be developed to the extreme, but in its simpler form is more dignified. The style promises to be a popular one for smart fall and winter cos tumes. Frocks of woolen fabric, with blouses of net nnd silk and a caftan of the material trimmed with satin in a harmonizing tone, or, what is safer yet, black, will bo In good taste for the well-dressed woman. New Type of Gown. Pretty semi-evening gowns, called abroad casino gowns, are being worn with but slight decolletage and trans parent gulmpes of tulle or moussellne. Tho materials used on gowns of this type are embroideries, laces or crepo de chines, for satin seems to be some what passe. Many of them are trimmed with deep silk fringe, and, as the guimpe Is always collarlessi beautiful dog collars of Jeweled vel vet or Jet are worn, so that the gown may be becoming with a hat. Somehow a collarless gown and a picture hat are not always a pretty combination. Tunlci. Curiously lovely effects are gained In little informal evening nnd after noon gowns by the use of n chiffon draped tunic over a gown of a con trasting shade of satin, with a bit of embroidery on the edge of the tunic. Some striking combinations nro nas turtium orange chiffon with touches of gold over gray green satin; dark gray chiffon with silver over :;Kht blue, and brilliant currant red chiffon over deep prune color, the embroidery In bronze, gold and deep reds. Correct Veils. Taupe Is the leading shade In plain mesh veils, and those made of a wiry thread In the large, hexagonal type, are unusually becoming to the com plexion. Another mesh veil, of finer weave, Is covered with flat velvety pastilles, square In shape and scat tered over the Burface at close inter. I vals. In choosing steers for fattening, one of tho most Important things Is to se lect those that give indications of ma king good gains. The steers must have a good, large frame, with capac ity for consuming a good quantity of feed. This capacity must not bo such as to tend too much toward pauuchl ness. Tho large framework gives a foundation on which to build. While the compact pony built animals are ready for market earlier and look bet ter with a small amount of flesh on them, yet the gains made by steers of this form are usually mnde less than those mnde by more rangy animals, writes Prof. Thomas Malrs of Penn sylvania, in American Agriculturist. It is necesary, however, to strike a mean between the two. That is, avoid tho extreme rangy type and also the ?:J$n$w& y&w SsT -. Two Magnificent Hereford. more compact pony t. '.in great est gains are to be ud the steers fitted for maikei . a rea sonable time. While the brisket is one ol the least valuable parts of the animal, so far as the carcass is concerned, yet a wide breast and a low, rather promin ent brisket are indications of strength and vigor of constitution. These, to gether with a large heart girth, indi cate good lung capacity nnd ability to assimilate food to advantage. Steers which are narrow just back of the shoulders should be avoided ca lacking in lung capacity and constitu tion. In fattening for tho larger mar kets particularly the proportion of higher-priced meats should be taken into consideration; that is, select steers which will turn out the largest percentage of high-priced cuts. When fattening for local markets, especial ly for many In the east, with a for eign trade, this is not so important, as the discrimination between tho high and low-priced cuts is less sharp. LOSS OF SOIL BY EROSION Where Surface Washes Awuy, Well to Plant Pasture or Some Root Crop Rye is Good. On many farms where the bnd is hilly or only slightly rolling there is often a great annual loss of good soli through erosion. There are several ways of preventing this waste. Where the general surface soil of land washes away it is we" to keep the land in pasture, meadow or some crop the roots of which will bind the surface soil together. If the field is cultivated in summer, a crop of rye Biwn early In the fall will afford win ter protection. This rye crop may be turned under in early summer for green manuring and the formation of soil humus, which to a certain extent will prevent erosion. Where a crop of corn is grown on washy land, It is best to cut none of It for fodder, but to leave all of the stalks on the ground. If there are no facilities for pasturing the stalks when the corn is gathered, then the stalks shquld be dragged down as early In the winter as it is possible to do the work. If the stalks are pastured, they should be dragged down Just as soon as the stock have cleaned the best from them. Corn stalks flat on the ground during the winter and spring months catch and hold the soil from washing, they catch and hold water for sinking into the soil where needed, and in this position they q ilekly soften and decay. Prevent washy land from remaining bnre at any season, and especially dur ing the winter and spring seasons. Keep the banks of the creeks nnd ditches sloping and in good, tough sod. A steep ditch bank cannot easily hold grass, hence it remains bare and is susceptible to washing. Grassy banks and low grassy places not only prevent local soil from washing away, but catch sediment washed down upon them from higher places. It Is often a good plan to keep narrow "draws" per manently In grass. In this way the draw gradually becomes filled, the field becomes more level and the grassy bottom becomes more fertile ee.ch year. Made soil la always rich soil In large markets with dlocrir.ilnat ing trade, tho bind quarters uud lir. el are decidedly the more valuable pari: of the animal. This is also true, bin to a less extent in the loeal markets The kind of market, then, to whld thi steers are to be sold should In considered in selecting them. IVei from the show animals at the Interna tlnnnl would tlud slow sale in most ot our local eastern markets. This showi that the eastern feeder has this ad vantage over the western feeder, thai his markets are not so discriminat ing and a poorer class of animals ma be sold and even sold to better nd vantage than would be possible 1e the large packing centers. Whilo the type of steer, so far as carcass In concerned, la less Impor tant in tho east than In the west. It does not follow that tho dairy bred steer Is as satisfactory ns the tieef ani mal. It Is true, however, that steers from good, large cows of tho dairy type which are inclined to bo fleshy and bulhi of .-. Mocky beef typo can be used to ath'iii.'i.i"4. The Ill( 1 V ili' I I'V bloo' there Is In u steer, ns a general thing, i'ie longer it will take to K?t him read- lor market. It Is said that animals of the dairy breeds lay on their fi.c Internally, while those of the beef breeds mix It with the muscular tissues nnd place it on the outside of the body. The first fat deposited is probably in the Inter! of the animal, the next is a layer be neath the skin, which fills out the ani mal and gives plumpness to the car cass. The last fat deposited is prob ably that between the muscles and among the muscular fibers them selves, which give quality. Amoug dairy breds, these later stages of fat tening nre seldom reached, nnd al though the animal may continue to gain, it does not produce an attrac tive carcass. and grass sod is an efficient factor In making it. Heavy Hogs Under Cloud. Heavy hogs, recently eujoylng a substantial premium, are under a sea sonable cloud, says Live Stock Jour nal. Packers and shippers are both discriminating against them, and for the first time this season the light bog Is on a pnrlty with the fat-back, threatening to take possession of tho premium within a few days. "No body with a little bit of sense would put away heavy product for 7 3-4 c. hogs," said a representative of the National Packing Company. "Hams cut now will not bo out of cure until October, when hogs ought to bo worth considerably less money. The result Is that killers are scrambling for something that can be used up quick ly. The easiest hogs to sell now are in the 180 to 220 pound class, and this will be the case for two months to come." Feed the Colt. The colt must not be neglected at this season of the year. It must be kept growing and developing. Though it may be sucking the dam and eatf'.j what grass there is in the pasture : should now be getting oats besides. A little bran mixed in the oats will make the ration all the better. Remember that the colt la growing or at leatt should be every day, and therefore needs Increased rations In proportion to the growth and development It. Is capable of making. Now, as the pas tures are short and dry, nnd the dam is giving less milk, It requires special feeding, as It cannot any longer get nil that Is necessary to make proper growth from these sources. Quickly Made Crates Shoo boxes are the right shape nnd size for crates Just as they come emp ty from the shoo stores. Cut out two strips on each side and put a cross partition In the middle nnd the crato Is complete. This will prove very use ful In handling the fruit crop or for potatioB, etc. A short strip of wood with tho under surface cut out for the fingers nailed to each end will prove convenient when handling the crates.

The close race up to tho last few days had consider able to do with the large Increase in the American, while Pittsburg led by a comfortable margin the major part of tho National's season. Tho New York Nationals again car ried off the Individual honors, drawing a total of 783,700, although they fell off more than 100,00(1 from tho season before. Their average per game was 12,439.
