Knitted Material
for Sports Wear
Outfit Is Better Suited to
Country— Sweater Still
Strong Favorite.
When one comes to speak of knitted
clothes one notes first that, whether
f: the field Of Strictly sports models
or otherwise, they have come to be
accepted ns Indispensable. Whether
he fact that clothes of knitted mate
rial disqualifies them for use In town
or not is a question frequently brought
Obviously, notes a fashion corre
spondent In the New- York Herald,
they are better suited to the country,
•but there are certain types which do
very well for the city as well.
Although the sweater has gone
through a decided change in the last
fix - 'months', It probably Is still the
most: important of the articles In knit
ted wools. If one dbes not recognize
the sweater as such at first glance It
Is not to be wondered at. Matched to
n skirt of fine plaited crepe and Itself
changed in line, It is quite the smart
est thing that clothes for the country
have to offer.
As to the silk sweater, it appears in
glorified guise, heavily embroidered
and with a deep fringed scarf to
match. As most costumes for the
country arc combinations of white and
color, the sweater Is the thing that
conies in for the color note.
In a straight slipover sweater the
color is dark blue embroidered with
a border and a few large disks of
white, yellow and green, and the-scarf
Is attached to the back at the wide
bateau neck line. This scarf is very
wide and hanging over the shoulders
at the front, refichea well below the
bottom of the sweater. The skirt, a
box plaited model, has a binding .of
yellow around the bottom, a fashion
in which many ' skirts, particularly

sports models, are finished. A white
sweater suit of similar design has a
separate scarf and the embroidery is
done in a very vivid color scheme,
blues and reds predominating.
A checked design in the weave as
we 'l as In the color is used for a suit
t'ltli slipover coat, slashed at the
throat and bound in white. A wide
collar and large cuffs are also In
t'hite. A scarf of the same material
makes this a very practical suit for
the street or country.
White Satin Blouses
Now Bidding for Favor
Mow that black sutin has come into
especial favor for dresses and some
are shown with the white vests, it
seems opportune for the ndvent of the

Rich Cape and Frock
for Dainty Little Miss
This darling frock for little sister is
designed in radium silk of 6oft old
gold color, trimmed with white and
accompanied by winsome little cape
that matches.
Most successful among these Is the
blouse which extends over the hips In
usual fashion, but cut into vest points
at the front and provided with pockets
or at least one for the übiquitous
watch fob. Noteworthy In a group of
these models seen recently was one
with trimming in scroll embroidery
done in black floss on the white satin,
the pockets covered with the. design
and a panel of it in the front where it
would be effective with a suit or coat.
Costume blouses are frequently of
black satin with trimming motifs of
Chinese Inspiration lending color td
the general effect of the Oriental cut.
These are in evidence in the collec
tions in Paris and are perhaps the
newest thing that the display of
spring blouses has to offer. Blues and
pinks are enriched motifs In sil
ver and gold among the lighter color
schemes. Paris also offers some of
the shorter filet pointed blouse- in
black satin richly embroidered.
Georgette blouses have manners of
their own in trimming and decoration
suitable to the fragile or rather sheer
fabric, for in reality georgette is ex
tremely durable. Fine tucks and the
use of plaitings are both part of the
designer’s way of treating them. In
a blouse of salmon pink georgette, for
instance, one finds u deep, oblong inset
of fine tucks outlined with fagoting
and a band of embroidery at the bot
tom of the tucks, which are perpen
dicular in direction. With so much
elaboration above the hip pockets are
simple slits with a Darrow, straight
edge of embroidery.'
Checked or Striped
Hosiery for Spring
The plaids, block checks, square and
diamond shape—and ribbed effects
seen in the woolen stockings that
have been so fashionable are being
duplicated in the lighter weight wool
and silk stockings for spring.
Colored socks are the rnge, the sand
color, tan, flesh, beige, gray and brown
being the most popular. The most con
spicuous styles are checked or striped
In darker tones or contrasting colors,
and the drop-stitch rib is the newest
weave.
The orchid, flesh and seashell, two
tone and others of the more delicate
shades in chiffon silk stockings are
very smart for dress occasions and
will be much in demand later in the
season with lightweight frocks.
ed for young women are equally good
for women at large, and there is no
monopoly on the palette of colors
from which they are developed.
Shoulder Cape to Match
New With Sports Apparel
If one is addicted to the use of
capes, there is one of the very new
est models in sports clothes which
comes with a shoulder cape to match.
Both dress and cape are in soft white
wool, knitted In broad bands, to givo
the effect of plaits. The dress, a plain
chemise model, Is fastened at one side
with a five-button slash and lias two
slashed hip pockets bound with the
material, Quite as simple in design is
the cape. Which hangs well below the
low waistline and has a high standing
collar fastening with one button.
Simple in Design
Many of the new evening capes are
sumptuous in material and colors, but
extremely simple in design. They fall
in straight, voluminous folds, and are
gathered into a somewhat narrow fur
cdllar.

Brothers had
brought back
L— word that every
Dressed as Little single guest was
Yellow Chicks coming; in fact
they had all ac
cepted with much pleasure.
She had asked them to come In
fancy dress and the Breeze Brothers
had told her that they thought that
was a splendid idea, too.
At last the day of the party came
of course, and the Queen of the
Fairies was all ready for her guests.
And then they began to arrive.
The rest of the Fairies cante
dressed ns little yellow chicks. They
wore costumes of soft fluffy yellow
and at their sleeves were touches of
black, while on their fluffy yellow hats
were tonches of black, too. They
wore sleeves which looked like little
tiny wings.
The Gnomes cante dressed to look
like calves and they tried to make
their eyes look very big.
The Brownies came dressed ns fat
little pink pigs and they went running
around grunting and squealing.
The Elves came dressed as ducks
and they waddled about and quacked
so that they made a great (leal of
noise. And they all followed Eflie Elf
who led the procession of ducks.
The members of the Bogey family
came dressed to look like roosters and
they crowed most magnificently and
noisily..
The members of the Oaf family
came .dressed ns donkeys and brayed
for all they were worth.
Then Billie Brownie and his brother
Bennie were dressed to look like two
boys and Peter' Gnonie looked very
much like’thetn, too.
Old Mr. Giant was dressed in a
farmer’s costume and he called Billie
and Bennie and Peter Ills sons.
Witty Witch was dressed to look
like the farmer’s wife and very pretty
and sweet she looked. .She wore a
blue and white print apron, and a
dress of much the, same material and
color, only a little, lighter in shade,
while on her head was a sun bonnet,
for she said she wanted to be out-of
doors all the time and she didn’t want
to get a headache from the sun.
It was all a surprise to the Fairy
Queen for they wanted their costumes
to be a great surprise to her.
And she had wanted her costume to
be a great surprise to them, so she
hafl dressed herself in a most marvel
ous costume so that she looked like a
great head of lettuce!
And all her guests went around say
ing she looked so fresh and tender
that it was all they could do to keep
from eating her!
In fact they pretended that they
were taking little nibbles at her!
But she told them they didn’t need
do that for a banquet was soon to
follow.
And such a banquet as was seldom
held, even in Fairyland, was this
banquet of the Fairy Queen’s.
After the banquet was over they
played games. And they made rules
that every time
anyone spoke or
Inughed or shout
ed in their own
natural voice
they would have
to pay a forfeit J />
and either sing a i Hi
song or do a
trick or recite a
piece of poetry. 'W if'

their voices Dressed as
weren't like the Ducks,
voices they were
supposed to pretend that they had.
Instead of making braying and
quack-quacking and grunting and
squealing sounds, they would forget
and just make their own ordinary
ones.
But it was much more fun to have
plenty of forfeits to be paid.
Italian Clover
Is Not Favored
Not Sufficiently Resistant to
Cold Weather and Is Sus
ceptible to Disease.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Because Italian red clover Is not
'sufficiently resistant to cold weather
fend is particularly susceptible to dis
ease, Dr. A. J. Pieters und Mr. Edgar
Brown of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, addressing the
meeting of the Wholesale Grass Seed
Dealers at Chicago, recommended that
ixo red clover seed of Italian origin be
Imported and that In certain sections
where the winters are severe, no for
eign-grown red clover seed be used.
Observations and careful tests made
in many parts of the country by the
department und state experiment sta
tions have provided ample proof that
these recommendations are Justified.
Wherever Italian red clover seed
has been tried, with the exception of
the Pacific Northwest, the result has
been low yields or total failures In
most cases, and when unusually favor
able conditions produced a fairly sat
isfactory first crop there was little
second growth. Where winter condi
tions are not so severe or where the
snow covering has afforded protection
against the cold the other foreign retl
clover bus done fairly well, and be
cause the supply of home-grown seed
is not sufficient It Is necessary to use
It
Yields Compared.
Actual tests at a number of stations
show how seed from various sources
produces in the United States. At
Ashland, Wis., red clover from Chile
produced a first cutting of 3.77 tons
per acre; French seed produced 2.9
tons; Bohemian, 3.2 tons; and home
grown seed from Idaho, Tennessee,
Wisconsin, Ohio nnd Oregon averaged
5L£3 tons. Here the heavy snows’ cov
ering reduced the effect of. the severe
winter. At Spooner, Wis., where con
ditions were more severe last year, the
Chilean seed produced 1.94 tons; the
French, 1.94; Bohemian, 1.97, nnd
United States seed 2.19 tons per acre.
At Marshfield, Wis., the yields of all
lots were less, Chilean producing 1.0
tons, French 1.5, Bohemian 1.4 and
United States 1.0 tons. At East Lan
sing, Midi., the Michigan seed pro
duced 2.46 tons, other United States
seed yielded 2.18; Chilean produced
2.52 tons; French 2.25, and Bohomlnn
1.94 tons. The clover grown from
Michigan seed made a stronger seed
growth than any of the others, al
though the European, with the excep
tion of the Italian, did very well.
At College I’ark, Md., Chilean seed
made 2.82 tons; seed from Ohio pro
duced 2.94 tons; French seed 2.40; Bo
hemian 2.08; Maryland seed 2.42; and
Tennessee 2.22. At Blacksburg, Vu.,
Chilean seed produced 1.57 tons;
French 1.35; Bohemlun 1.19; and u
number of lots from different parts of
the United States averaged 1.59 tons.
At the Stnte college, Pennsylvania, ttie
foreign clovers, except the Italian, out
yielded that grown from American
seed, but whether or not this was due
to some unusual circumstance has not
yet been determined.
Itesults have shown that In most
cases American red clover seed Is mo.ro
satisfactory than foreign-grown seed,
but the crop grown lien; is lnsufilclent
tc meet the demand. An average an
Dual Importation of 10,000,000 pounds
Is needed to muke up the deficiency of
red and alsike seed. If all foreign seed
were poor the department would not
recommend Its Importation even in the
face of the great shortage, but tests
have shown that certain strains do
well here in certain sections where
CHICKENS AND EGGS WILL
HELP IMPROVE THE HOME
Poultry Products Favored to
Increase Incomes.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agrlcultu-e.)
Farm women of Charleston, county,
S. C., sold 5,441 pounds of poultry und
10,388 dozen eggs during 1923, us com
pared with 000 pounds of market poul
try and 1,009 dozen eggs in 1920.
Tills large increase in three years was
accomplished, on the part of extension
workers co-operatively directed by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture and the state agricultural col
leges, by constantly emphasizing the
value of pure bred poultry and of the
need of grading all products. The
home demonstration agent rendered
nil possible assistance In the market
ing of these products, but the good
results are attributed largely to the
fact that at every meeting held, no
matter what subject was discussed,
poultry was advised as a means of
the weather Is not too severe. Theii
Is great need to Increase the produe*
tlon of clover seed in this country.
Much Seed Imported.
It was brought out before the seed
dealers that between July 1, ‘1923, and
January 15, 1924, more than 6,7t)0,00d
pounds of red clover seed had bees
imported, and that nearly 300,000
pounds of it had been brought from
Italy. In addition, about 200,000 of
the seed shipped from other parts of
Europe is thought to have originated
In Italy. Considering the known und
suspected Italian seed, it seems that
about 8 per cent of the Imported red
clover seed Is of the kind which will
not produce a satisfactory crop except,
possibly, In the Pacific Northwest. Tim
seed importation act administered by
the Department of Agriculture, make*
certain requirements as. to purity,
presence of weed seeds und vitality,
but these requirements do not make it
possible to bar this seed which Is
germinnble enough and clean enough,
but not adapted to our conditions.
The representatives of the depart
ment called the attention of the seed
dealers to the prevalence of anthrae
nose disease of red clover, which Is
sometimes severe from Washington, IX
C., to Tennessee und northern Ala
bama. It affects* the second crop of
nil clovers, foreign anti domestic, and
even the first crop may be destroyed.
There are resistant strains and It Is
Important that they be developed and
the seed put on the commercial mar
ket. At present most of our northern
grown domestic seed Is as liable t®
this disease as the Imported strains
with the exception of the Italian
which Is the most susceptlhle.
At present the only protection for
the fanner Is to Insist on information
us to the source of the retl clover seed
offered for sale und In buying only
from reliable firms and organizations,
If Italian seed Is sold us domestic or
under some other name much harm
may be done, both to the farmers and
the seed trade.
Alfalfa Hay Tends to
Insure Strong Litters
Alfalfa hay fed to sows during the
winter months tends to Insure healthy
litters of pigs. Alfalfa is rich in pro
tein and minerals and furbishes these
elements at low cost. There are three
ways in which it can be fed; Let the
sows eat it from the stark, feed it la
a suitable rack, or add about five or
ten pounds of chopped alfalfa or ah
falfa leaves to 100 pounds of a grnia
mixture. The leaves can be gathered
up from the barn floor where the hay
is pitched from the mow.
Some suggested rations suitable for
a 250-pound sow are as follows: Al
falfa hay, five or six ears of corn,
one-fourth pound of tnnkpge; alfalfa
hay, two or three pounds of corn*
alfalfa hay, three or four pounds of
grain, one gallon of skim milk. For
young gilts the proportion of tankage
to corn or grain may be increased.
Whole Milk Superior for
Fattening Young Calvea
There Is nothing quite equal to whole
milk for fattening young calves. Thla
praeilee provides veal of the highest
quality. If one cow does not supply
enougli milk to give the calf all that
it will consume, then two nurse cows
may tie provided. Make sure that the
calf Is confined In a box stall henvTly
bedded and darkened. This will
prompt him to lie down a greater part
of the time, and it is Inactivity of the
muscles, coupled with lots of milk,
that mukes veal of the best quality.
