Sleeves May Be Very
Long, Tight, or Short
Seldom in the history of the mode
have sleeves been allowed more lati
tude and less longitude than this sea
son sees them exhibiting. They may
be very long and tight, as they always
are in coat-dresses, or very long, wrin
kled and finished with plaiting; or
even long and wide, if one follows Lan
vin and Vionnet. There is an occasion
al peasant sleeve seen, too, with full
ness caught into a narrow wristband
of the material or of ribbon. But the
outstanding sleeve for afternoon wear
is short —so short as to be almost a
cap. And for evening the sleeve
shrinks out of sight altogether.
This tendency to believe in brevity
as the soul of sleeves is bringing the
scarf into notice as a solution of what
to do with one’s arms. - Cheruit makes
most interesting scarves that match or
harmonize with the gown, trimming
them for the evening with embroidery,
and for daytime with appliques of fur
—white or yellow, for example, being
appliqued on black crepe de chine.
An Evening Cape.
Stunning evening wraps, cape-man
teau type, are made of ribbon and
marabou. The ribbons are wide and
edged with marabou, each *and of
ribbon being sewed on to a georgette

with silk crepe. Fog gray satin ribbon
and gray marabou, made on gray silk

silk crepe, makes a wrap that is a
summer dream.

For Its fashioning is chosen a print

darker tone or brown. The back is
slashed to show an underblouse of
beige crepe and the front Is brought
around like an apron and ties in a
huge bustle bow.
Quite similar in style is a dinner
frock made of orchid flat crepe with
an intricate design done in crystal
and silver beads as a decoration on
the front of the apron. This may be
copied in a number of different mate
rials and color effects.
Interest in cotton dresses has been
stimulated recently. Jobbers are very
active and are placing orders for lin
ens, ginghams, voiles, organdies and
ratines.

A recent revival in the field of sum

most frequently in black, although
pebble and fog are also seen. Jfn ( the

can tell you.
“Now, I’m a wooden house and I
enjoy a party In my wooden fashion.
“We certainly can be marked or
scratched and so that shows you that
we have feelings. But anyway I want
to tell you about the party for I know
I don’t liave to tell you about our
feelings. I’m sure you understand.”
“Oh yes,” said Peter Gnome, “I
know you have feelings.
“Why, I was looking behind one of
the curtains today, dressed in my cos

tell how happy you are. Why, house,
you were smiling all over yourself.
And, house, I’ve seen you said, oh, so
sad, when there was sickness. And
when you were afraid. House, you’ve
been afraid at times, haven’t you?’’
“Oh yes,” said the house, ‘‘and oh,
the relief that comes when that fear is
over.
“It is sickness that makes me afraid,
nothing else," the house continued,
“and we had some bad sickness last
year. That was when you saw me
afraid, I am sure.”
“That was the time,” said Peter
Gnome.
“Oh, it was so wonderful when that
quietness that comes over me when
there is sickness was lifted. I couldn’t
help but be quiet, Peter Gnome. I
was just as quiet as quiet could be.
I didn’t feel like smiling. I didn’t feel
like anything.
“I couldn’t have stood it if people
then had made a great noise. But as
a rule I love noise. And oh, Peter
Gnome, how I love laughter. To hear
laughter through my great halls and
rooms and from the cellar to the gar

“I was just here for a moment,”
said Peter Gnome. “I just saw you

“Well,” said the house, "they

Quality of Horse
Stock Improving
Market Prices for Good Big
Animals Are Better and
Demand Is Strong.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Although the number of horses in
the country has been steadily clecreas :
Lng and the number of stallions reg
istered for service in the various states
has been on the decline in recent
years, according to an analysis of the
situation by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, there are indica
tions that this downhill movement is
coming- to a halt. There is also rea
son to believe that as a result of
the culling that lias been go'ng on
in the last few years the quality of
the horse stock is being improved.
Horses Show Decrease.
At the end of 1922, there were 203,-
000 fewer horses and 30,000 more
mules in the United States than at
the beginning of that year. While
production lias not kept pace with the
death rate the demand has been in
creasing. Last year there was an in
crease of approximately 40 per cent
in the number of horses received on
markets over the previous year. Dur
ing the first three months of the pres
ent year there was increase of horses
on the markets of 51 per cent over
the same months of 1022.
A study of the stallion enrollment
figures from 22 horse-producing states
shows that the number of purebreds
has been decreasing at a lower rate
than the total number. In 1022, the
decrease of all stallions was 15.0 per
cent, while the number of registered
stallions decreased only 10.7 per cent.
The action of a number of state legis
latures In outlawing all but purebred
stallions and jacks has been a factor
in addition to the general tendency
in getting away from poorly bred
sires. During 1023, Indiana, Michigan,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia arc
licensing only purebred stallions and
jacks for public service.
In a recent publication of the de
partment, “Stallion Enrollment and
Horse-Breeding Situation,’’ by J. O.
Williams and E. B. Krantz, It is
shown that in 22 states, including the
principal horse-producing sections,
there are a few more than 10,000
stallions. Of these practically 15,000,
or a trifle more than 78 per cent, are
purebreds. In 1921, similar figures
showed that there were nearly 23,000
stallions, but less than 74 per cent
were purebred. According to the tables,
two states, .Indiana and, Pennsylvania,
as a result of laws which bar grades
and scrubs, have 100 per cent of pure
bred stallions. Michigan’s purebred
stallions are more than 93 per cent of
the total, and Montana’s more than 00
per cent.
Increase of Purebred Jacks.
Although there was an Increase of
39,000 mules shown at the beginning
of the year, the number of Jacks stand
ing for public service decreased more
than the preceding year. Eighteen
states having an enrollment of 6,000
jacks in 1021 had only 5,080 in 1922,
a decrease of 16 per cent In these
states Jacks standing for service con
stitute 28.8 per cent of all stallions
and jacks. Comparable figures from
11 states show that the percentage of
purebred jacks has Increased from 29
per cent in 1914 to 76 In 1922.
In addition to information on the
horse and mule situation, this new
publication contains lists of the pedi
gree registry associations recognized
as standard by the National Associa
tion of Stallion Registration Boards,
foreign books of record recognized by
the United States Department of Agri
culture, and names and addresses of
all state and national officials who
have charge of stallion enrollment.

Destroy Weeds by Using
Iron Sulphate Solution
Tests In Wisconsin were successful
In eradicating - wild mustard from
grain fields by the use of a solution
of Iron sulphate applied at the rate
of 52 gallons per acre. . The proper
strength of the solution waa obtained
by dissolving 100 pounds of Iron sul
phate In water and-diluting to 52 gal
lons. The total cost was estimated to
be $1.25 per acre. This treatment also
proved efficacious In the' eradication
of dandelions from lawn* but did not
work so well In fields. Cockleburs,
•agweeds, daisies, wild lettuce and
leveral other ordinary weeds were
only partially eradicated by this solu
tion. Canada thistles were black
ened, but soon recovered, even when
julphuric acid was added to the spray.
Clean cultivation was apparently the
only effective remedy for the most
oerslstent weeds.
Nobody ever expects to pick good
tpples from a scrubby tree; then why
xy to force the daughter of a 100-egg
ien to a 300-egg production?
Barley Production Is
of Great Importance
Nearly as Valuable as Corn
in Fattening Cattle.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Barley, production in the United
States is undergoing some changes and
is becoming of increasing importance
in American agriculture, says the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Barley is finding a place in the feeding
of live stock on the furms, where It is
grown and is being grown largely for
feed outside of regions where corn and
oats do well. Under suitable condi
tions of soil and climate, barley yields
more pounds of feed per acre titan any
other small grain.
Barley generally Is considered about
90 to 95 per cent us valuable as com
for fattening live stock. Although it is
a good feed for all stock, it should be
crushed or rolled for sheep, hogs and
all young stock. If ground line, tha
Hour produced makes mastication diffi
cult and tite animals do not like tha
grain as well and eut less of it than
when rolled. It should not be the only
grain in a heavy ration for young pigs,
as the hulls irritate the digestive sys
tem. It is often used in preference to
corn for show cattle, because it does
not make such linrd flesh.
Because of the more general recog
nition of the value of hurley as a live
stock feed, and because of its yielding
ability and adaptation to some regions
where other grains do not do well, bar
ley Is being grown on more farms and
over a wider area in the United States
than formerly, and less extensively .n
special areas. It is likely nlso that the
proportion of barley consumed on tha
farm where grown w ill continue to in
crease.
To Prevent Robbing by
Strong Colonies of Bees
To avoid strong colonies of bees rob
bing the weak colonies of their supply
of nectar, lt Is necessary to reduce the
entrance to the hives of the weak col
onies or to unite two of the weak col
onies to make one strong one, says A.
C. Burrill, extension entomologist of
the Missouri college of agriculture.
If the colony Is weak for some other
reason than that due to being anew
swarm, It is a good thing to consider
re-queening at least by the middle of
August, although some do thld in July.
Colonies so rc-queehed go through the
winter best and make better yields the
next year. Keep all comb trimmings
or drippings of honey in a covered pall
and not scattered about. This cleanli
ness applies especially to times when
there Is no nectar flow.
To stop bees from robbing contract
the entry of any weak colony being
robbed to a space so small that hard
ly more than one bee car. go through
at a time. The opening may have to
be larger if lt Is very hot, for ventila
tion; hut in that case, hay, straw,
coarse weeds or grass clippings may
be thrown in front of the entrance.
During fierce robbing, sprinkle the
bees with cold water.

Black Teeth of Pigs Has "V
No Special Significance
The belief that black teeth often
found In the mouth of new-born pigs
have some dire detrimental effect
upon the animals, seems to he about
as prevalent as is belief In “hollow
horn” nnd “wolf In the tall," two
mythical disenses often spoken of In
the southern states. Let lt be under
stood that the blnck color of the small,
sharp teeth referred to has no special
significance nnd such teeth need not
be removed on that account. As the
teeth are as sharp ns needles, how
ever, nnd frequently laeernte the
gums, or Injure the tents of the sow,
or wound the faces of the little pigs
when fighting, they should be nipped
off at birth.

Close Confinement Will . f
Cure Hen of Broodiness
Broodiness of hens means decreased
egg production.. Hens tbut want to
set in summer may be broken up by
close confinement In a' wire boftom
coop, built under a shade tree nbout
three feet above ground. Feed the
fowls well meantime. Starving a
broody hen doesn’t pay because she
must be fed up ngaln before she will
lay. Feed on regular laying mash and
whole grain and keep plenty of fresh
water within reach. Under these con
ditions most broody hens will give It
up in three to -five days.
Arsenate of Lead Best
to Destroy Potato Bugs
Paris green has long been a favorite
poison for killing potato bugs, but
there Is danger In using a mixture too
rich In the poison, which burns the
foliage. Arsenate of lead sticks bet
ter if mixed with flour and dusted on,
or Is effective If mixed with water
and sprayed. A few applications, be
ginning at the first sign of bugs, will
positively keep the vines free.
