Decoration, Combined With

Lavs a fashion writer in the hew York
Times in describing a dress which is
_ harpy combination of plained
flounces and plain sections of material.
Tl’e ruffle around the shoulders reaches
onlv to either side of the front, while
the plaited sections on tfre skirti reach
onlv across the front, leaving the back
plain, though full enough to be in
keeping with the rest of the design.
The trimming consists only of orie pale
pink rose made of folds of silk and
supplied with a few sparse green,
leaves to give.lt background and to
supply just a suggestion of color to the
dress.' This touch of color is permis
sible. It is only a touch and it does
help' to keep the effect of the frock
away from that dead whiteness which,
upon some occasions, does grow to be
a little trying. ■ " ; ■ '
However, this is a white season and
the white of the dress is bound to find
a place no matter what the occasion
for its wearing.
One of the frocks is made with a
real lace flounce about the shoulders
that droops away into rather a cape
effect at back. This dress is made of
soft white crepe of a very heavy qual
ity. The skirt is cut in a somewhat
circular manner on Mie sides and

MRS. MOSQUITO
“I must say that it annoys me,” said
Mrs. Mosquito.
“What is it that annoys you?” asked
Miss Mosquito.
“I just heard a bit of news,” said
Mrs. Mosquito.
“And is it the news that annoys
you?” asked Miss Mosquito.
“It is that,” said Mrs. Mosquito, “it
is that bit of news—a most annoying
bit of news.”
“Of course most things are annoy
ing,” said Miss Mosquito. “Of course
there is a great pleasure in taking bites
of people and there is great pleasure
in making them lie awake. There is
great pleasure in having them try to
catch you and in not letting yourself
be caught. There is great pleasure
in making cool places in the hot sum
mer unbearable because of us. Oh,
that is fun! But then it is annoying
to have to bother with being annoying
in order to enjoy life! But tell me
what the news was or Is or shall be,”
said Miss Mosquito.
“I heard that those wretched little
‘top minnows’ were being sent abroad
where some of our family are doing
a fine work in the river spreading
malaria and other germs. Our family
is doing all it can to make tilings hor
rible and now these little fishes are
being sent abroad to these rivers, for
they not only like to do what they con
sider is the good work of eating mem
bers of our family when they are in
the larvae state, but they enjoy us
like 'hat and eat us with a relish.
“It does seem a pity that when
creatures are doing the fine mean
work our family is doing that those
wretched fishes should he sent over
to do their fine kind work. Of course
it is fine of them to think of helping
to stop illnesses. But who wants to
be fine"? Certainly not a mosquito. Of
course the fishes aren’t mosquitoes,
and that is why they won’t spend
their time being mean.
“The mosquitoes will not be kind.
No, our pleasures in life,.as you have

as mean as we can be. How well I

were just about to feel : little cooler,
when buzz, zing, zing, we sent them
in!
“Oh, that was nice mean fun —nice
mean fun! But now these wretched
little minnows have been sent over
there , and they will swim along the
top of the water and will get rid of
the members of our family. Isn’t it a
piece of news which makes you mad,
too, Miss Mosquito?”
“Zing, zing, buzz, buzz, I should say
it did make me mad. I will be as
mean as I can and try to make up for
it. Of course you’re a real mosquito.
You enjoy being mean.”
Mrs. Mosquito buzzed. “You have
the right spirit.”
“Dear me,” said Miss Mosquito,
“there will be less Illness now and less
trouble because of these little top
minnows eating up our family. And
It Is so nice to cause illness and trou
ble and discomfort.”
“We’re thoroughly mean, aren’t we.
Miss Mosquito?”
“Indeed we are,” she said In a mean
proud way.
“And we will never be anything
lse,” Mrs. Mosquito added.
“Never, never, never. As long as
there are mosquitoes there will be a
great many mean happenings,” Miss
Mosquito agreed.
For we’re the mean Mosquito family
and we bite, bite, bite,
We sting the people all we can with
our might, might, might,
We bother them and trouble them and
keep them up at night,
And then we give them nips which are
an awful sight.
We do not care for things which ar*
fair and which are right.
And we work so very cleverly without
a shining light!

Big Loss of Pigs
Before Weaning
Heavier in Spring Than in
Fall According to Survey
Made in Three States.
(Prepared by the United Stntes Department
of Agriculture.)
Losses pigs before weaning are
heavier in the spring than in the fall,
as shown In a survey just completed
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The loss amounts to 30
per cent of the pigs farrowing in spring
litters before weaning compared with
a loss of 24 per cent of pigs farrowing
in fall litters, in records on 3,025 lit
ters of pigs during 1922 in Illinois,
lowa and Indiana. The following table
gives tiie principal causes of pig losses
hp to weaning time:

All other causes 38 SO
Total died in each 1.000
farrowed 358 242
These records serve to show that
fully one-fourth to one-third of the
feed and other expense in keeping
sows Is lost before weaning, by not
giving the sow proper feed and care
during gestation or proper farrowing
quarters, the department points out.
By far the major share of losses in
pigs is due to improper handling and
feeding and not to disease.
Sows running on pastures while
suckling pigs saved the largest litters.
Sows that were fed the following
quantities of feed, per one hundred
pounds iiveweight monthly, during the
gestation period, farrowed the largest
litters: 45 pounds of corn, 10 pounds
of oats, 1.5 pounds of tankage. Tried
sows that had produced pigs previous
ly seemed In this study to show a ten
dency to produce larger litters than
untried gilts.
Cause of Losses.
A similar study upon 3,574 spring
pigs produced on these same farms in
tiie spring of 1921 showed thnt 340 of
every 1,000 pigs farrowed died before
the date of weaning. Tiie importhnt
causes of losses in”the spring of 1021,
as In 1922, were pigs laid on by the
mother sow, nnd those born dead or so
“weak they could not get up to suckle.
The*l92l pigs, however, were.bothered
more with necrotic enteritis than were
those in the spring of 1922.
The study * Indicates that barring
fluctuations In prices of feeds nnd "the
occurrence of disease,- the. number of
thrifty pigs produced, per sow more
than ariy other factor influences the
cost of producing pork. All the care
in feeding possible alter weaning the
pigs can very seldom overcome the
-pfocluctiqn cost due to small litters,
the department says. Tbe figures show
that the majority of sows last winter
had a carrying charge df sls to $25
per head, which covered the co&t of
carrying them, while producing a lit
ter of pigs ; with a large share of the
sows this meant carrying charges for
twelve months.-
Well Prepared Field Is
Needed for Sudan Grass
It is requisite if the farmer Is go
ing to have’ good success with Sudan
grass that he plant In’ a well prepared
field. Just because the crop Is hardy
Is no reason why It should be treated
shabbily. Fall plowing or fall listing
of fields Intended for It, with careful
after preparation before planting
means that much higher yields, and
this Is generally the basis for figur
ing profits from producing any crop.
Pure Bred Sows Are Most
Efficient Pork Producers
Experiments conducted by state and
government stations all over the coun
try have proven conclusively that pure
bred sows are more efficient pork pro
ducers than grade or scrub sows. It
has also been proved on one of the
largest hog ranches In the Northwest.
Main Things Necessary
in Handling Brood Mare
The two main things necessary In
handling brood mares are feed and
moderate exercise. Wheat bran and
oats are the two best grain rations and
are better If fed together. Excessive
corn and kafir will cause trouble at
foaling time.
Insure Strong Pigs.
To Insure good strong pigs, sows
should be In a good vigorous condition
when they are bred, gaining some In
flesh and fed upon a well-balanced
ration. The boars should be strong
and vigorous and not be allowed to
serve too many sows.
