But they were ro correct Knd so engaging that we could see at lace they would “go.” I They have, indeed, been going smart ly, and now every exclusive shop is Jusy making “English print” (alias idlico) frocks for its most fashionable latrons. They are English in nnme, trench in design, and are offered as I novelty of compelling attraction to Americans. I The dresses are, of course, of the type suitable for country wear —the Inodistes say to be worn before noon. These are the simple, straight sil houette frocks that have so long in trigued us. They serve the same need as the linen and the pongee frocks that are always popular, only, being calico, they are smarter, the last word in the mode. One of the most striking models in calico is of a heavy quality rich in color, and Is built along white sportsy lines; a long tunic blouse over the plain, narrow skirt attached to the lin ing, with even the scarf, the purse nnd the little sports hat made of calico. pli(, &-rr;msr Frock Plaited Apron Front Extending to Yoke; Tunic Effect. chanced that the color arrangement •■s accomplished in scarlet, wh" * and vm ’| Ver,v s,iaI ‘P nod snappy, and ( \ ‘ 1 . e c °stume black patent leather /' 1 bonips, black patent leather 1, gloves were worn. prim and quaint patterns in Crepes of All Kinds Are in Vogue rr-r.f is having a vogue.

The designers are keeping close to the type in even the daintiest prints of geometric fig ures or small flowers in pink, blue, green, mauve or other colors on a white background, and in some charm ingly artistic combinations of color of bolder character. Winsome Combinations. Combinations never dreamed of by the dressmakers who evolved the old time print frock are now offered as the latest tiling from Paris, translated by the American importer who deals in exclusive and individual models. One of these Is built in tiers, two tiers forming the skirt, flat, nnd slashed at one side. The tunic, of a length to form a third tiered flounce, opens at the side, corresponding in line to the slashed flounces of the skirt. It is quite Russian in feeling and is belted loosely at a low line. The blouse Is cut a shallow square nt the neck and has long, plain sleeves fastening tight at the wrists. The frock might be worked out In crepe or fine wool twill, but it Is done in calico of a stiffly printed pattern in pale beige, blue and green. A plain blue cotton material is used In a fold about the edge of each tier of the skirt, outlining the opening of the blouse, the neck and the sleeves, nnd forms a narrow stitched strap belt fastened with a blue enameled buckle. pother calico frock has a white background with a pattern of email black dots wide apart. A tunic, tfiirze quarter length, Is beltiess and is trimmed around the bottom and around the slashed openings at the sides v.-Ith a fold of black organdie, which a!;? forms cuffs on the long, straight sleeves nnd outlines the square neck. A white and blue calico one-piece frock of the light, smooth weave called percale Is trimmed with graduated folds of white organdie on the bottom to the knee. The bateau neck is fin ished with a collar of the organdie made with a double bias fold drawn to fit the curve of the neck line. Tills In some of the lighter colored per cales, especially those of small flower patterns, frills of muslin, butiste or or gandie, white or In a color to harmon ize with the frock, are used in unique ways to give an effect of lightness that is altogether sweet and summery. A decorative cotton material that appeared among the imported dress materials earlier In the season was taken to be an upholstery material. But lately it has been sent out by some of the leading American design ers in most charming frocks. The pat terns are uncommonly attractive graceful flower, garland, bouquet, scroll designs, expressing motifs of many periods, produced in engagift'-. colors. Used by Americans. These cretonnes are employed by clever American artists In reproduc tions of French models, some of which, becuuse of their simplicity, work out well, conspicuously In the designs after Lenleff, Jenny nnd Lu cien La long. Smart, comfortable and picturesque are the coats, sleeveless jackets, blouses and waistcoats made of these cretonnes. A couturiere of repute Is present ing unusual tilings In cretonne studio coats, tea jackets and breakfast coats whicli are worn over slips of lace and silk or chiton and appear to take the place of negligees. Some new and ex ceedingly pretty cretonne dresses for the country are made to be worn with guimpes, collars and cuffs or frill) blouses, nnd some of the latest models are distinctly tailleur in design. printed crepe are lovely, nnd models established in this innterlul are in numbers of original designs by all of the well-known couturieres, particular ly by Patou.

Drecoll makes his frock of printed crepe, the loose coat or cape-wrap of plain color lined with the figured mate rial, and adds always a fur collar. One of his latest inodes — a striking one— is made of plain black crepe satin, tube-like to the knees. There Is at tached a circular flounce of figured crepe bound with a three-inch fold of the plain, the flounce being carried on the side of the gown, forming a cas cade, to the hip, and continuing ever one shoulder.

He had been named after his grandfather, Chippy Chappy nnd there wns a famous chipmunk named Chippy Chappy too. Sharpy, the squirrel, looked at Chippy nnd said: “All right, Chippy, I’m always ready for some fun.” So Chippy Chappy and Sharpy started to play. "We’ll play tag first,” said Chippy Chappy. “Good,” said Sharpy, “you can be ‘it.’ ” “No, you he ’it,’ ” said Chippy Chappy. And Sharpy agreed, because if neither of them played “it” they couldn't have the game. Sharpy chased Chippy Chappy from one tree to another. At one time Chippy Chappy jumped a great big jump, but Sharpy was after him. Then Chippy Chappy jumped another enormous big jump, but Sharpy didn’t like that so well. lie jumped though nnd tugged Chippy Chappy so that Chippy Chappy was "it.” Then Chippy Chappy chased Sharpy and Sharpy ran down the side of a tree and along the lawn and came to another tree. He got quite far ahead of Chippy Chappy doing this ns Chippy Chappy hadn’t thought lie would run down the tree nnd along the lawn. But Chippy Chappy hurried ufter him when lie saw what he wns doing. And after a time he caught up with Sharpy and Sharpy once more was “itT* They played this game for some time and then they decided they would play hide-and-seek. Sharpy had a beautiful hole In one of the trees in which to hide. And he was anxious that Chippy shouldn't find him for awhile, as In the There They Sat and Scolded tree was a most delicious nut whici. had been put there some time before and which had been forgotten about. But Chippy Chappy cume Just as Sharpy was enjoying the nut. “Let’s not play hide-and-seek any more,” said Chippy. “I feel the need of a little nourishment." “Ah, but it’s my nourishment,” said Sharpy. ••But I am willing It should be mine, too," said Chippy Chappy. “Oh, but I’m not,” said Sharpy. “But I am,” said Chippy. “That's not fair,” said Sharpy. “Who says it Isn’t fair?” asked Chippy. “I do,” said Sharpy. “I don’t,” said Chippy. “And I’m us good a judge as you are.” “You’re not,” said Sshurpy. “I am,” said Chippy. “But I say you’re not,” said Sharpy "But I say I am,” said Chippy. And there they sat and scolded each other until the afternoon had almost gone. And the great joke of it all was that wiilie they were scolding over one nut the other squirrels had been Jumping from place to place and had had most astonishing luck in tindlng good things to eat. But the quarreling of Chippy and Shurpy took so much time that they missed all the real feast. It wus night-time when they had finished arguing, hut by that time both of them were too tired to scold any more. And so they went to bed and to sleep, weary und worn out. And also with very empty little tummies. The exercise they had had made them hungry, hut alas, they were too tired to gi/. their food and no one else seemed to feel like handing It to them on a tree tray. No, the others did not seem to feel like waiting on Chippy Chappy and Sharpy the squirrel hut seemed to think it was a great Joke that they had wasted their time in an argument over one poor little nut. A miser's face is like a banknote— everv line in it means money Soy Beans Make Very Good Feed Experiments Prove Worth of Valuable Crop for Increas ing Flow of Milk. In a number of tests made by sev eral experiment stations with soy beans, the results showed this crop to be a very valuable feed for dairy cows, ns the animals used in the test showed good gains in flesh und milk production. The Tennessee agricultural experi ment station conducted a feeding test with milk cows, comparing soy bean nnd nlfalfa hay in combination with corn silage and corn and cob meal. Each lot of cows consisted of four Jerseys and the test lasted through three periods of 30 days each. At the conclusion of the tests, the results showed that the lot fed soy bean hay produced 245 pounds more milk and 20.5 pounds more butterfat tfian the lot receiving nlfnlfn hay. Average Hay Yield. The soy bean will yield from one to three tons of hay to the acre nnd oc casionally four tons, depending upon the fertility of the soil and the season. Under favorable conditions soy beans should average two tons to the acre. The soy bean nlso forms n valuable supplement to corn for ensilage. Corn In itself makes rather a wide ration and should he supplemented with feeds richer in protein to balance the ration. The Maine agricultural ex periment station, in an experiment with six cows, comparing soy beans nnd corn silage with corn silage nlone, found the cows on soy bean and corn silage with one pound less grain did prnctlcally ns well ns on corn silage. In nil feeding tests with soy beans and corn silage, the animals showed good gains in flesh nnd milk produc tion. Fertilizing Value. The fertilizing value of a crop of soy beans compares favorably with that of other legumes. The Kansas agricultural experiment station re ports an Incrense of 14 bushels of com to the ncre where com followed soy beans In alternate yenrs ns com pared with corn grown continually. Soy beuns may be plnnted any time after com planting time. Not Necessary for Roof on Cement Manure Pits Where a manure pit is built of cement and no real opportunity for the liquid manure to leach away, there would be no real necessity of having n roof on the pit. However, one of the objects of a roof is to hnve the manure In a place where it is not so objec tionable and the ammonia does not evaporate so rapidly if the pit is closed in. However, tills evaporation can be prevented providing the manure Is kept moistened. Where a griuit deal of liquid manure Is obtained, which is usually the case In up-to-date dairy barns, the manure would not dry out, especially if there was not too much bedding in It. If there was considerable bedding and not sufficient liquid manure going with the manure from day to day Into the pit, it would he necessary to use hose or some other means of wetting down the pile. With horse manure, which dries out very rapidly, It nearly always Is accompanied by a large amount of dry litter and it Is very es sential that the manure be packed and dampened frequently. Tills would nlso be true in dry times even though it had no roof. Unless a very good ab sorbent is used for bedding, horse inn nure will go info the pit somewhat dry and consequently it needs n great deal of wetting down in order to prevent it from heating to such an extent as to dry It out. —It.

Calves for Baby Beef Feeding calves for the baby beef market is the safest kind of cattle feeding and a larger number of calvei is being fed for the market this year than ever before. Feeders of this kind of cattle too often send them to mar ket before they hnve become fat enough to command a price that will insure the largest net returns. No other class of cattle is discriminated against so severely as a hnlf-fut baby beef. The fatter the baby beef the more profit he makes. Seed for Hog Pasture For a hog pasture sow about four bushels of oats per acre, about five pounds of rape, about four pounds of sudan grass and, If your land will grow clover, you should add some sweet clover seed and some alsike clover, sev eral pounds each. You may think this Is heavy seeding, hut these plants are to be kept pastured down from the time the oats have made enough growth, so they need to be thick if you get wucb pasturage. Change in Official Grain Grades Made No. 1 Hard Spring and Mixed . Durum Added to List. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Changes iu the ollicial grain stand ards of the United States promulgated by Secretary Wallace, May 17, Include the establishment of anew grade to he known as No. 1 hurt! spring to be added to the sub-class dark northern spring of the grades for hard red spring, and the uddition of anew pro vision for grades for mixed durum. The changes become effective August 15, 1924. Number 1 hard spring includes wheat of the class hard red spring, consisting of 85 per cent or more of dark, hard and vitreous kernels; shall be cool and sweet and shall have a test weight per bushel of at least GO pounds. The grade may contain not more than 14 per cent of moisture; not more than 1 per cent of foreign material other than dockage, which 1 per cent may include not more than 5-10 of 1 per cent of matter other than cereal * grains; not more than 2 per cent of damaged kernels, which may include not more than 1-10 of 1 per cent of “beat-damaged kernels; not more than 5 per cent of wheat other than hard red spring, which 5 per cent may in clude not more than 2 per cent of durum wheat nnd may contain not more than 5 per cent of wheat of the variety humpback. The new section providing grades for mixed durum reads as follows: Mixed durum shall be mixed wheat, consisting of 70 per cent or more of durum wheat other than tlie variety red durum nnd may contain not more than 5 per cent of soft red winter and white wheat, singly or combined. Mixed durum shall he graded accord ing to the requirements of the grades for mixed wheat. The grade designa tion of mixed durum wheat shall be mixed durum, preceded by the number of the grade, or the words “sample grade,” as the case may be. Other changes In the now regulations include changes In the definition of the terms wlieut and cereal grains, grades for weevily wheat, nnd a change In the definition of western red wheat andi increase in test weight of this sub class. The speelal limitation ngntnst white wheat In wheat of other classes In grades Nos. 1 and 2 of all sub classes of hard red spring nnd hard red winter wheat Is eliminated, nnd a change Is made In the grade designa tion of mixed wheat. Some changes are also made In the standards for corn, oats and rye. Rolling Poultry Houses Beneficial to Keepers Poultry houses on wheels are not popular in the United States, but It may be beneficial to some poultry keepers to know a little more about such houses. On every farm are tracts of land where during certain periods of the year there Is much food for the liens, hut which will be wasted un less the flock is moved out to the fields. Dragging houses around on runners is not a popular Job hut they are quite easily moved when mounted on wheels. A house on wheels can he used as brooder house, luying house, or for special matings, and Is especial ly adapted for hospital use us It can readily lie moved away far enough to protect the healthy birds from infec tion. The construction is very simple —all that Is needed Is Just an axle and a couple of wheels. Most every farm er has some old wheels around his place, which lie may never use for any other purpose and an old axle usiinlTy can he found also. If the axle is lo cated so that the house will he fa !rly well balanced on It It can readily be handled on two wheels, If not too large.
