Capee to Match Shown
With Spring Garments
A light and graceful note in soma
of the frocks designed for the spring
season, is a cape to match. Some
of these are attached to the dress
itself, while some are separate, but
they usually match in material and
color.

In an all-white costume made of fiat
crepe the skirt is plaited in clusters,
irregularly, the coat tunic is fastened
with many buttons sewn close together,
and a detachable cape of the crepe is

Striking Embroideries

Big splashes of embroidery massed,

type of decoration for evening dresses.
This work sometimes consists of flow

metal cloth oppliqued In high relief, a

long branches of foliage, trellised de
signs, which sometimes look like holly
hocks or sunflowers growing along a
garden wail, nmd a brilliant splash of
color to an otherwise perfectly simple
dress. In some models these striking
embroideries start from a point of
drapery on one side of the hip, seem
ingly holding in place the folds which
wrap the figure. No touch of this or
namentation appears on the corsage.

MADAME TIGER
She looked out from her' cage and
gazed over the heads of the people
who watched her.
She was not thinking of them! They
were safe because she could not reach
them. She might not have bothered
with them If she had not felt like It.
In fact she probably wouldn't have
bothered with them unless she had
felt hungry or unless her children
were in danger.
All, when the babies had been born
In those free days in the jungle how
she had watched out for them, bring
ing fresh, warm, newly-killed food, and
not letting any one come near them
lest they suffer with tlielr lives.
She remembered those days. She
remembered the days when she would
hunt.
How quietly she would go about It.
How she would hunt down her prey,
spring upon it, beating with her great
claws.
Then what a meal there would be.
She remembered the river and the
jungle and great dense forests in In
dia.
Her family did not live in many
parts of tlie world. Asia was the con
tinent where for so many years they
had chosen their homes.
The men in the family had whis
kers which were very handsome but
they were no stronger and no wilder
and no more dangerous than the la
dies in the family.
In fact not so dangerous.
There was danger for any one in
those days when she was watching
over her young. Even if any one
came near who might rot do them
The Men in the Family Had Whiskers.
harm she was not going to take any
chances.
She was not a royal Bengal Tiger
Mother without reason. She deserved
the name she had.
A hone was by her. £>he had fin
ished the meat that was oil it. She
had growled a little as she had eaten
it and had pretended she had captured
it—hut that was hard to pretend.
More and more people came and
looked at her. She was very beau
tiful.
But she didn’t bother about her
beauty. She was not vain.
She didn’t care whether she was
beautiful or not. Her magnificent
stripes, her wild, handsome, wonder
ful, strange eyes were not tuking up
her thoughts of that.
Only she was thinking about days
that had gone, days when she was in
the jungles and when she moved
quietly ana carefully through the
deep, thick underbrush.
Those were thoughts worth think
ing. Let silly, vain people think
about their looks.
She was thinking of things more
wild, more thrilling.
She was thinking of hunts and of
narrow escapes and of great adven
tures.
She was thinking blood-thirsty
thoughts which to her were very mar
velous.
Oh, how dull to live in the open as
people did! How dull to show your
self before any who wanted to gaze
upon you.
How very, very dull and quiet and
tame and safe for a wild, wild Madame
Tiger!
Price for Wheat
Fixed by Demand
Farmers Planning on Grow
ing Durum Variety Should
Consider Conditions.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Farmers who are planning on grow
ing durum wheat this year should
consider carefully the market condi
tions. Since the eurly days of durum
wheat production there usually has
been nn active foreign demand. The
development of a domestic market did
not keep pace with production. In
recent years, however, lnrge mills
have been constructed for grinding
durum wheat exclusively, according to
the United States Department of Agri
culture. Tills industry now uses about
half tlie average nnnual production.
With tlie decrease In the foreign de
mand tlie price for this class of wheat
lias become more and more depen
dent upon tiie domestic market, be
cause of the overproduction for tills
market the price of durum wheat lias
been considerably below that of equal
grades of linrd red spring wheat, In
recent years.
Why Durum Is Favored.
Because of the greater resistance
of durum wheats to rust and drought,
which occur frequently In the northern
spring wheat region, durum wheat
usually yields and weighs more and
grades higher In Its class than hard
red spring wheat grown under the
same conditions. The increasing acre
ages of durum wheat up to 1022 were
largely the result of the superior
yields and the higher grades which
usually have been obtained. The re
cent low prices of durum whent caused
a decrease In Its acreage in 1023. A
further reduction in the acreage of
this class of wheat probably Is neces
sary If growers are to receive n profit
able return for their 1024 crop.
As the domestic demand is Increas
ing and the foreign demand decreas
ing, more careful attention should be
given to the requirements of the do
mestic market. Firms engaged In the
durum trade find It difficult to obtain
pure durum wheat. According to the
official Inspections supervised by the
federal grain supervisors for the three
crop years ending August 81. 1010,
1920, and 1921. about 48 per cent of
the durum wheat Inspected contains
over 10 per cent of wheat of other
classes and is graded as mixed whent.
INCREASE MILK PRODUCTION
BY USING PURE BRED STOCK
Result of Dairy Improve
ment Work in Delaware.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
An Increase of over 1,800,000 gallons
in the nnnual milk production of New
Castle county, Delaware, without in
creasing the number of dairy cows
owned has followed five years’ riulry
improvement work, In which the
county agent, progressive dairy farm
ers and agricultural organizations co
operated. This county is located near
a large city, affording a good market
for whole milk, and dairying is an
important farm industry.
When extension work in dairying
was begun in New Castle county, many
farmers were in the habit of buying a
medium type of grade cow without a
guaranty of health. Following a
county meetlhg of dairymen In 1018,
four carloads of pure bred cows from
herds under federal supervision for
tuberculosis control were brought in
and distributed as far as possible at

There are many who think that farm
life ls just one picnic pleasure after
another, but they are not farmers.
Only the remaining 52 per cent Is
graded as durum. Approximately 89
per cent of all mixed wheat marketed
has durum wheat predominating In
the mixture. No other one class of
wheat forms the basis of so much
mixed wheat. The principal clast, of
wheat found mixed with durum Is
hard red spring. Farmers are urged t*
obtain and maintain seed stocks of
pure durum wheat.
When making a change of seed
careful consideration also should lie
given tlie choice of varieties. The ku
banka is tlie best-adapted variety for
nil of tlie varying conditions In th#
durum wheat sections. It is a hlgh
ylelding wheat considerably resistant
to rust, of good milling quality and
well liked for the manufacture of
macaroni. The new nodak variety
which recently lins been developed !■
North Dakota as a selection from
kubanka, Is n distinct pure strain of
that variety which Is equal or superi
or to It In yield, rust resistance and
macaroni-making qualities.
Discontinue Red Variety.
Other high-yielding varieties of
durum wheat, however, produce mac
aroni of a grayish color, which has
been found by domestic manufacturer*
to he unsalable. Principal among
these Is pentad (D-5), the red durum
variety. It Is the most rust resistant
variety of durum wheat grown and Is
a high-yielding wheat In seasons of
severe rust. The grain, however, can
not be used profitably by domestic
manufacturers of semolina from which
macaroni Is made. It Is sold principal
ly for export and Its price Is consid
erably below that of equal grades of
amber durum. The growing of red du
rum should he discontinued. Twe
varieties of amber durum which als#
tire rust resistant and high yielding
are not desired by the trade because
of the grayish color of the macaroni
which they make. These are the acta*
and monad (D-1) varieties. Anne I*

most of South Dakota, and monad the

In order to meet the requirements of

growers should obtain purer and ’let
