Hotel Too Close to Church
John Jacob Astors magnificent new
hotel the St Regis in New York has
been refused a liquor license because
its front door is within 200 feet of
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church The law says that no liquor
licenses shall be granted for a build
ing within this distance of a church
or a school house The St Regis has
just been completed at a cost of 2
500000 and it hardly will be pictic
able for operation without a license
Even if the objection of the 200 foot
limit were removed it is said that
the lessee of the new hotel cannot
obtain the necessary two thirds of
owners of the adjoining property to
consent An interesting legal battle
will no doubt be the outcome

Smart and Useful Gown
In every girls wardrobe there is
occasion for a smart gown which can
be relied upon to fill many functions
and for this a model in which real
laces play a prominent part is one
that lends itself well to reproduction
in less expensive materials The ex
ceedingly simple lines of the corsage
which incidentally is mounted upon
a perfectly fitted silk lining with chif
fon beneath the lace suggest the
plastron front and back fagoted strap
pings in satin defining this The
sleeve has a shaped ruflle of lace
mounted over very full plisse ruffles
of chiffon The skirt of wnlte satin
fits snugly over the hips the fullness
being adjusted by means of dart
shaped tucks at the band and at
knee depth there is applied a flounce
of plisse chiffon which is covered
with bouillonnes of satin alternated
with lace eight yards wide at the
hem
Fve Gored Skirt

with the applied
yoke as preferred

ured Sicilian mo
hair stitched with
corticelli silk and
includes the yoke
which can be made
to serve the practical purpose of
lengthening as well as an ornamental

Some Effective Hair Accessories
Every woman has ribbon ornaments
for the hair more or less elaborate
according to the occasion on which
they are to be worn Dainty resettes
of long loops are made of a number
of loops of gauze ribbon in soft col
ors The idea in wearing so many of
these ornaments is to get a note of
becoming color to the face to offset
the effect of the white gowns which
are worn morning noon and night
now
The flush of a pink rosette the
glow of a red one the bright gleam
of a yellow ornament or the warm
tone of some other color lends a
brightness to the wearer of a white
frock The woman of taste selects
the color that will best bring out the
beauties of her complexion the luster
and tint of her eyes and the warm or
bright lights in her hair
Gowns Are Now Made Short
The trotter frock is all the rage
in this country just at present and
even the most expensive gowns are
made with short skirts Cloth is the
leading fabric yet velvets tco look
quite as well with the ankle high skirt
Many of these gowns are trimmed
elaborately with lace and braid and
they may be used for an afternoon
entertainment It seems that women
are beginning to realize the advan
tages of a short skirt and it may not
be many months before the trailing
evening gowns of to day will give way
to trotter effects For dancing noth
ing can surpass the short skirt so far
as comfort is concerned
Eton Jacket
No coat yet devised is more gener

the front and the
full sleeves that
mark the season

almost countless combinations can be
made Fancy braids are greatly used
for the little vests Persian bandings
are exceedingly effective genuine
Oriental embroideries are handsome
and both braiding and embroidery on

The jacket consists of fronts and
back with the vest that is arranged
under the front and neck edges and Is
fitted by means of shoulder and under
arm seams with the single darts that
are concealed by the trimming Over
the back and shoulders is applied the

White shoes are going to have a
good sale with fabric shoes while
buckskin oxfords red gray and even
blue slippers are included m the smart

The rule of the woman who knows
this summer is to match the shoe and
stocking irrespective of whatever the
color of the dress may be
Many of the shoes are showing full
lines cf champagne and pongee color
also some nut brown kid oxfords
The girls with small feet are taking
to tho light colors no matter how
bright while the others are rushing
for the darker shades
Some tan shoes with French heels
are for sale but it does not appear as

reason that they are not satisfactory

Selecting the Dairy Bull
The profitable dairy bull is one that
will produce female calves with high
milking powers and that will be able
to show a great amount of vigor It
is not enough that he be able to pro
duce calves with high milking powers
The vigor is an essential point as
under heavy methods of feeding such
as are now practiced in modern
dairies many of our best developed
cows break down The bull therefore
must have in himself every indica
tion of great bodily vigor Tho more
he has of this the more likely will
he be to impress the same on his off
spring and place in them the power
of continuing his good qualities It
is not at all easy at this time to find
the kind of a bull that is likely to
have the good points we are looking
for There are a great many poor
bulls in service and their male off
spring are growing up into the bulls
that are to be used in the future We
have to day few herds that we can go
to for the right kind of a supply
The carelessness of the public in
this regard is shown in the low prices
prevailing for bulls The bull should
bring a far higher price than a cow
nd yet we find the bulls selling at
lower prices We can but infer that
the breeders think that anything is
good enough for the male so long as
we have first class females This has
been the great obstacle in the way of
the improvement of the milking quali
ties of our dairy breeds A man can
afford to pay a fancy price for a bull
provided he can get the kind of a bull
he really needs
Mold on Parchment Paper
Many of our readers use parchment
paper for lining the boxes in which
they pack their butter and now and
then they have trouble with mold
that appears on it and which not in
frequently gets into the butter The
parchment paper is for the purpose
of preventing this very thing The
mold generally gets into the paper
when the latter is allowed to lie for
some time in ice boxes refrigerators
or storage rooms in which the mold
has already developed The mold
cannot grow spontaneously but comes
from minute seeds called spores Un
less these spores were on the paper
there could be no growth of mold
When the parchment paper was lying
where mold was growing the spores
ripened and fell on this paper If the
paper is kept in dry clean places
where no mod ever appears it will
not in turn develop mold when it is
placed in contact with the moisture
that comes from the butter Spores
cannot grow without moisture When
such paper has been subject to con
ditions that would make the growing
of mold possible the best way to pre
vent the development of the mold is
to soak the parchment paper in a
strong brine in which has been mixed
one pound of formaldehyde to three
gallons of brine This soaking will
not injure the parchment paper but
it will kill the spore3 of the mold
When the same brine is to be used
several times in succession it should
be boiled between times to make
doubly sure that the spores do not
escape
Exhibiting Butter
The maker of butter whether on
the farm or in the creamery fre
quently asks the question if it pays
to make an exhibit of butter at any
of the various shows where oppor
tunity is given for that kind of a dis
play It certainly does pay to ex
hibit butter both for the effect it has
on the general public and for the
influence on the one making the ex
hibit The cost of making an exhibit
is slight and the attention of the but
termaker becomes centered on the
methods necessary to produce a good
article It is proverbial that every
farmers wife believes she is one of
the best butter makers in the country
The grocer that buys the butter dares
not tell her that she does not know
how to make butter if she cannot but
the butter judge at the fair or show
will have to give her that information
The movement among farmers wives
to learn more about buttermaking is
a good one and every one of them
should be encouraged to do her best
and send her product to the butter
show TheSame is true of the cream
ery buttermaker The managers of
the creamery can well afford to pay
10 or whatever it costs to exhibit
butter just for the sake of getting
more information on how their own
butter looks when judged from the
standpoint of the butter judge
Cheese Scoring Contest

of silver cups are to be awarded Two
expert commercial cheese men will
assist Mr Vroman in making the scor

The Horse Still Popular
The horse industry Is to day in a
flourishing condition little correspond
ing to tho predictions of some of our
commercial prophets ten years ago
At that time wo were told that we
were on the eve of a horseless age
To prove it the savants pointed to the
thousands of people that were using
bicycles It was said that agents had
been placed at the entrances to the
great parks in New York and other
cities and these counted the thousands
of wheelmen and wheelwomen that
daily passed through the parks and
reported that only now and then a
carriage or mounted horseman was
seen That was true ten years ago in
all the great cities of tho country
But how Is it to day
Sit down at tho entrance to any of
our great city parks in the summer
time and watch the passer3 by There
will be seen a steady stream of car
riages with only now and then a man
or woman on a wheel It is evident
that the wheel was only a temporary
plaything for the public and thai
when the public grew tired of the
wheel it went back to the old friend
of man the horse
Within ten years there has been a
material increase in the number of
horses in the country and an increase
also in the value per head The de
mand has been greater than the sup
ply and with tho larger use of horses
has come an increased rapidity of
their wearing out While the wheels
were being so freely used many of
the driving horses in the cities spent
much of their timo in the barns or in
the pastures but since the public re
turned to the use of the horse the
work of the horse has increased and
the consequent wear and tear Inci
dent to service and accidents has also
increased
The horseless vehicles that have
been introduced in the cities are but
an insignificant factor in the general
situation Such vehicles are but the
playthings of the wealthy or are in
service in only a slight degree com
mercially They in no sense keep pace
with the tremendous increase in popu
lation and business that our country
is witnessing Tho value of horses in
the United States is placed by the
taxing bodies at more than 51000000
000 which valuation as every man
knows is far short of the real since
values for taxing purposes are never
anywhere near the actual values Yet
though the undervaluation is consid
erable this item of over one billion
dollars is an enormous one and gives
some idea of the great riches in horse
flesh possessed by the nation
That farmers should pay more at
tention to the raising of good horses
is evident There is no doubt thai
the demand for horses in the future
is to be even greater than it is at the
present time and that any man that
raises good horses of almost any kind
will be sure to realize good prices
for them
Breeding Light Horses
George M Rommel of the United
States Department of Agriculture
says Stand by the auction ring of
any great horse market and observe
closely the horses that fail to bring
prices sufficient to cover cost of pro
duction In the great majority of
cases trotting blood predominates ii
any breeding at all is noticeable Ask
a dealer what is the breeding if any
of most of the large numbers of the
unclassified horses on the market his
answer will be Trotting and coacl
blood This is not because draff
blood is more valuable or that tht
blood of the light breeds is not want
ed for the great cry of the market af
present is that good drivers and sad
dlers are extremely scarce It is be
cause performance and style are much
more difficult to acquire in breeding
than size and weight It is because
men with a fascination for the race
track attempt to produce trotters
without the slightest regard for na
tures laws and no disappointment or
failure seems sufficient to bring them
to realize their folly Breeding to a
trotter without system and study but
only in the hope of getting a speedy
foal as a possibility or an accident is
playing with fire The breeding of
light horses requires not only a con
siderable amount of capital but de
mands a knowledge of horses of the
very highest order It necessitates
concentration of effort and years of
waiting and planning It is not every
man that brings such qualities to bear
when he takes a 1600 pound draft
mare to a 1200 pound harness or sad
dle stallion and it is largely because
of this and not on account of the
breeds themselves that so many poor
horses are forced onto the market A
high class roadster coacher or sad
dler is by far the most difficult horse
to produce that the market calls for
In addition to careful plans of breed
ing and high individual excellence in
the resulting progeny a course ol
handling mannering and training
must be pursued before the horse will
figure as a really marketable animaL
These facts must be thoroughly un
derstood if a man would breed light
horses for market
Cold climates are as well suited to
the raising of live stock as are tem
perate and warm climates While herb
age is more abundant in the warm
climates and the winters are shorter
yet most of our farm animals do bet
ter in the cold climates than in the
warm and diseases are less numer
ous Grass is a greater factor in the
North than in the South for climatic
reasons

Under the caption The Union Pa
cific Railroad and Louisiana Terri
tory the new Worlds Fair folder is
sued by the advertising department of
the Union Pacific which has attracted
such general attention recites these
interesting facts
While the construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad its trials and
triumphs are a part of the historv of
tho United States the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
ment of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly he estimated In the building
up of this vast domain it has been one
of the chief factors
One hundred years ago the popula
tion of the region was estimated at
20000 Up to the inception of the
Union Pacific in 18C0 it had in
creased to 3233520 In 1900 it num
bered over 13000000 of inhabitants
In this wonderful growth with Its stu
pendous increase in all the many sided
phases of commercial material and
intellectual prosperity the Union Pa
cificas a glance at the map will
show has had a conspicuous share
It has opened vast regions of fertilw
country to settlers and brought great
areas of an unknown and
unproduc
tive wilderness into close communion
with metropolitan centers and mar
kets Thriving cities towns and ham
lets through its efforts have sprung
up in every direction
my be of Interest to know that
tho total number of manufacturing
plants and the value of their outputs
combined with that of the national
PonnUCf3 as rePorQd in the census of
1900 give an aggregate production for
the Louisiana region of 3500000000
annually or 223 times the original
