Latest Demands of Fashion
Radical changes in late summer
styles for women are few and far be
tween although the latest creations
in gowns pre modeled after those of
the Louis periods Yet some of the
changes while not in the extreme are
for the better and consist mostly of
softening and toning down
A smart gown of the lingerie type
Is accompanied by one of those three
quarter coats of a delicate colored
taffeta and must be of a soft lustrous
quality There is no lining and in
sertions of dainty lace give to them
a decidedly pretty effect Some havo
no lace trimmings at all but are made
witu pufflings and other self trim
mings As for gowns in general they
aro made with full skirts and the best
effects show the fullness at the bot
tom which is attained by making the
skirt flat about the hips and allowing
Jt to fall out below with a kilted ef
fect at the feet
Smart Frocks and Hats
A very smart frock was made of
rrse pink muslin trimmed plentifully
with lace in Paris shade It was worn
with a Leghorn hat this had a high
crown There were two twists of
soft pink ribbon round it and an im
mense pink rose with foliage ap
peared in front Another charming
hat worn with a pale blue nuslin
dress was in a picture shape made of
wire and covered with lace string
colored The lace was slightly gaged
and simulated a short narrow curtain
at the back The high crown was
trimmed with twisted bands of soft
blue satin ribbon a big chou of the
ribbon being fastened in front a little
to the left side Tusser frocks should
be worn with coarse straw ats
trimmed say with cabbage roses and
a little foliage otherwise with bands
of velvet br ribbon Boston Globe

combinations

ing flower hat
Narrow wash braid is much used to
trim the linen frock

belt lighten the dull pongee
Lace sleeve ruffles seem part and
parcel of every smart costume
A colored bead or two glints in the
center of embroidered flowers
Undersleeves and chemisettes are
now a feature of hot weather fash
ions
To tie chiffon veils in a bow in the
back is a later notion than to tie
them in front
Finish off the green foliage hat with
a great knot of pale blue soft satin
ribbon
Trimmings of soft lustrous straw
of voile net lace
are used on gowns
or taffeta

floral designs upon it The linen
gown is the choice of the ultra fash
ionable for both morning and after
noon wear The pale colors are more
in vogue than the plain white al
though the pure white for hot summer
days hold their own

A Good Example
Many of our milk producers can
well afford to take a hint from the
great bottling establishments as to
the care of their milk We wish that
when the opportunity comes readers
of this department would make it a
point to visit some of these places
and see the extraordinary care that is
used in cleaning bottles that have held
milk and in keeping clean all things
that are to contain milk or that are
to come into contact with milk What
these establishments do on a large
scale the farmer can do on a small
scale If it pays the big establish
ments to keep clean it will pay the
small establishments to do likewise
Water and heat are used in great
abundance It may not be possible
to have steam in the farm home but
hot water can always be had in large
quantities Hot water is destructive
of germ life if it is left long enough
in contact with the utensils The
man that has a good deal of milk to
handle will And it to his advantage
to arrange for tanks of hot water in
places where he can use the water
when it is needed Frequently the
little kitchen stove and the teakettle
are the only means of heating water
and when the farmer has a dozen
cows this way of heating the water
makes it necessary to be very econ
omical in using it The gallon of hot
water has to be diluted with cold wa
ter to make it go around and the tem
peraturo that results is not too high
for germ life to stand In the big es
tablishments the bottles and other
utensils receive a soaking in hot wa
ter that will remove any kind of
germ or put it in a condition where
it cannot develop It is often said that
it is possible to have too much of a
good thing but thi3 is hardly true of
hot water and heat in the cleansing
of utensils and vessels used in the
milk room We believe that the men
that are running the big bottling es
tablishments are setting an example
that should be followed as far as it is
possible to do so
Continue to Paraffine Cheese
The Canadians are continuing the
paraffining of cheese in spite of the
fact that some of the consumers of
cheese both in Canada and England
are objecting to it This course is
advised by the Department of Agri
culture of the Dominion of Canada
There are a number of reasons why
paraffining is desirable one of which
is that the cheese is less easily affect
ed by the conditions through which
it passes as to molds A cheese that
has not been paraffined may be placed
where it is exposed td mold and in a
short time the mold will affect it so
seriously that it will be unfit for con
sumption There are numerous con
ditions of this kind that have to be
faced for the cheese are sent to many
parts of the world and into all sorts
of neighborhoods The paraffined
cheeses will go into such places and
be unaffected The molds cannot
pierce the paraffiine for they find no
food in the medium through which
they must go Molds do not go through
substances except as they grow
through If the protecting coat be of
a substance that will not furnish food
for the development of molds those
minute plants cannot live and thrive
In the United States paraffining has
been adopted at some of our experi
ment stations but we believe has not
been generally adopted in tae fac
tories where most of our cheese is
made
Silo Building
Professor McKay of Iowa is credit
ed with the statement that there are
probably not- more than ten silos in
Iowa This is surprising in view of
the fact that silage is one of the best
foods in the world for dairy cows
The maximum feed of silage for dairy
cows is 40 pounds and an acre of
good corn will provide the rough feed
for a cow for 750 days Think of it
And the cow will eat the entire stalk
of the corn up clean when it is served
to her in the form of silage It is
surprising to learn that in some of the
states of the Union this great saving
is ignored This is especially the case
in Iowa and Illinois There are states
in the Union where silos are numer
ous notably Wisconsin and New York
Professor McKay says that in Iowa
milk is produced as expensively as it
was 20 years ago in spite of the
steady advance in price of the land
and the consequent necessity of pro
ducing milk more cheaply It is safe
to say that if every farm that has
dairy cows on it also had a silo thous
ands of the cows that now do not pay
their board would be kept at a profit
because the feeding of high priced
feed to poor cows is one of the surest
ways to lose money We have advo
cated the letting go of the poor cows
but if the farmers are determined to
hold onto them they should at least
stop feeding them a high priced feed
out of which the cows find it impos
sible to return a profit
Salting of butter is a practice that
is very old and until recently has
been very popular In fact our peo
ple have come to believe that butter
without salt is of little value Yet in
Europe unsalted butter is being used
to such aa extent that salted butter
is looked upon with suspicion It is
said that salt is put in to disguise the
bad qualities That of course is not
so where the salting of butter is ex
tensively practiced
Too little attention is paid to the
matter of the quality of the dairy bull

him of a colleague who had created
the precedent of calling in a disinter
