FASHION'S LATEST HAT MESSAGE;
RAYON WEAVES MUCH IN FAVOR
ii VI Y DEAR, would you bellere It,
just u simple little felt, the
only thing I could find. A pin orna-
ment on It und not another purtlele of
trimming, and what do you suppose I
had to pay for It!" Words which are
merely an echo of the past. Women
art* uot being tempted to utter such
protects this season, no Indeed I
Hats are different nowadays. They
are tlower-trlmmed, beribboned, of
lace and of exotic straws. No two
fact that the discovery or, rather, the
Invention of rayon, Is a real epoch
making event In the history of textile
art.
It did not take some of the fore
most couturiers of l'arls long to rec
ognlze the merits of the new rayons,
and the same may be said of leading
American designers. So favorably do
they look upon rayon textiles which
Include rayon georgette, rayon voile,
rayon satin, taffeta, moire and a hosi

alike either! Huge brims, wee brims,
medium brims, no brims at all, off the
face, and face-framing, oh, there Is no
doubt about It, it Is most assuredly
given to woman to be becomingly
hatted these summer months, for the
newest chapeaux are adorable, grow-
ing more so each day, tool They are
prettily feminine, they are flattering,
In fact they are just the sort you love
to wear.
Bonnet types- are very numerous In
the present-moment millinery picture.
The smartest ones are of lace or of
thinnest hair braid which are smooth-
ly covered with lace, the general ef-
fect being transparent. That very
lovely luce cloche which you see In
this group In the little oval In the
lower left corner. Is typical of the
new lace millinery trend.
Tlie cunning model at the top of the
picture Is leghorn. The quilling of rib-
bon about tlie brim edge gives a love-
ly touch of color, for It is In tones of
rose, green and French blue, with in-
terweavings of silver. A handsome
silk and velvet rose finds" placement at
one side of the crown. Straight from
Paris, this chapeau!
An Interesting thing about the ofT-
the-face shape centered in the group
Is that it is an openwork lacy Tus-
of other rayon weaves, they are em
ploying them for both sports and
dressy apparel, with greatest en-
thusiasm.
When apparel as handsome as the
two ensembles in this picture reaches
tills country bearing the stamp of such
distinguished French stylists as Lan
vin (ensemble to the right) and Jenny
(costume to the left), and when one
realizes that In each Instance a rayon
weave was chosen as medium for their
creation, then does the true style sig
uilicance of rayon become apparent
F6r the exquisite ensemble to the
left Jenny chooses to use rayon satin
faille, daring to combine the colors ol
turquoise and* rose for this delight-
fully feminine creation The two love-
ly shades are lnterworked so as to
produce an effect most unusual and
most pleasing «
Colorful rayon braid on coat arid
belt offsets the simplicity of the Lan
vin creation to the right For this
stunning model the noted designer
selects a rayon fabric In the soft
tone of green, which she has already
made famous
There is considerable talk among
style authorities about a coming vogue
for rayon velvet, too. The fact that II
has been so successfully launched bids
well for its future wide use In the fall
Its high luster Is one of Its pleasing
qualities, and its manufacture ha*
been so perfected that in texture It
is all that discriminating taste cnuld
wish for.
Not waiting for the coming ot au
tumn to conllrtn the vogue for rayon

PURE-BRED SIRES
AID SCRUB HERD
The purchase of a proved sire
which will increase the scrub herd
average production 1,(100 pounds, at a
value of $23.25 a head, is sound busi-
ness, say dairy specialists at the New
Jersey State College of Agriculture.
Almost any pure-bred bull will Im-
prove the condition of the scrub herd.
With the Increase in herd production,
however, replacement bulls must he
chosen more and more carefully in
order that the herd' production may
continue to increase. The dairyman,
therefore, either must buy a bull calf
from proved antecedents or he must
buy a proved sire. The purchase of
proved sires is the safest method from
a financial standpoint, because records
are available of what the bull has
done.
The management of an old bull,
which may he unruly und treacherous,
Is greatly simplified by the construc-
tion of a strong, safe, well-arranged
bull pen.
For replacements, the majority of
breeders choose bull calves from
proved ancestors. A great chance ii
thus run, for the particular Individual
purchased may not transmit the de-
sired characteristics for which he was
purchased.
"The good that bulls do lives after
them," Is a true statement, but the
good is often limited to a few of
their descendents, and in many enses
the hulls have gone to the shambles
before their daughters have proved
that they are an improvement over
their dams.
Develop Thrifty Calves
Without Using Skim Milk
Developing thrifty calves Is more of
a problem when skim milk Is not
available. Under such conditions whole
milk should be fed a little longer and
then gradually substituted with gruel
consisting of high quality concentrates
mixed with warm water. Several good
ready-mixed calf meals appear on the
market or if the materials nre avail-
able It can be home mixed. A suitable
one consists of 250 pounds each of
cornmeal, ground barley nnd wheat
middlings or red dog flour, 150 pounds
of linseed ollmeal, 100 pounds of blood
Hour, 20 pounds of steamed bonemeal
and 10 pounds of salt.
Dry skim milk Is finding favor al-
so. This material is dissolved In warm
water and fed like skim milk. Im-
proved methods of manufacturing
have decreased its cost as well tip In-
creased the supply and Its use as a
calf feed in whole milk regions is
likely to Increase.
Good Dairy Practice to
Cull Unprofitable Cows
Wlille It is always sound dairying
practice to cull the unprofitable cows
instead of letting them drag down the
profits of the entire herd, present con-
ditions make it an exceptionally good
time to get rid of the boarders, low
producers and blemished cows, it is
pointed out by C. S. Rhode, University
of Illinois.
•'Beef prices nre high at the present
time and the farmer therefore can
sell his cull. Inefficient cows for meat
at good prices. Furthermore, the feed
supply runs low on many farms at
this time of the year and herd owners
have a tendency to underfeed; a had
practice. It would be better to cull a
few of the poorer cows and take bet-
ter care of the others. A third reason
for culling out the poor cows now Is
that tlie efficiency of the herd will be
built up and a higher price realized
for tlie feeds that are sold through tlie
cows," he says.
| Better Milk Notes 'k
❖
1. Don't mix warm and cold milk to-
gether. Never mix any milk together
without first thoroughly stirring tlie
same.
2. Use a stiff brush, a good dairy
washing powder nnd plenty of hot wa-
ter In washing all milk utensils, at
least once a day.
3. Cool your milk before clamping
the lids down tightly.
4. Wash your cans as soon as pos-
sible.
5. Don't feed silage, hay or any feed
that may transmit an odor into the
milk, directly before milking time.
C. Keep your milk in the milkhouse
—and not in the barn.
7. Keep your barn whitewashed the
year around.
8. Keep manure piles out of paths
of the cows.
it. Deliver milk every day.
10. Groom your cows dally—Pitts-
burgh Dairy Council.
Care for Cream
As long as creameries receive an
Inferior quality of cream, they are
forced to pay inferior prices for out-
ter fat. Cream that is sweet and
clean in flavor Is the type of cream
that will command the best prices.
One of tlie most Important steps In the
production of such cream Is to cool It
in cold water Immediately after sep-
aration. Tlie cost of cooling tanks for
tills purpose Is very small. Such nn
investment is a profit maker for the
dairyman.

DUCKS AND GEESE
1SS
There were ducks of all colors and
kinds around the pond, but all of them
quacked, and most
of them loved to
stand on one leg,
with the other up
under their feath-
ers, and to gossip
and chatter.
"Ceese are so
cross," said Mrs.
Ut'eeri Duck, as she
splashed down In-
to the water and
began to swim
about,
"They are," said
Mrs. White Duck,
"but I have be-
come so excited
The Ducks Were talking about them
Swimming. tl,ut 1 have Srown
very warm.
"I must have a swim." And so she
Went into the water, too.
Mrs. Green Duck had been given
her name by the others because she
had lovely green feathers 011 her bead.
Mrs. White Duck was ehtirely white.
Finally most of tlie ducks were
swimming around. Pretty soon the
geese came walking along.
Mrs. Goose still hud her head Just
ns high in the air, uud o hud Mr.
Gander.
"if I were you, either of you, in
fact," said Mrs. Indian Runner Duck,
"I wouldn't hold my head so high.
"You've got entirely too long necks.
They're not a bit beautiful.
"In fact they are rather queer."
"Who cures for the opinion of a
duck?" shrieked Mr. Gander, and his
shriek was quite the most terrific aud
strange-sounding shriek.
Mrs. Indian Runner had seldom
heard so harsh a voice she said.
It quite startled all the ducks. Mrs.
Goose stopped, too, and shrieked along
with her husband.
"Who cares for the opinion of a
duck?"
They were both shrieking now with
their high, queer, weird voices, nnd
the ducks were becoming used to
tiicm.
They were always startled by the
voices of the geese after they had
been silent for ,t time.
"Who cares for the opinion of a
duck?" shrieked Mr. Gunder again
,"l do, for one," said Mrs. Indian
Runner Duck.
"I do, for another," said Mrs. Mal-
lard Duck
"And 1 most certainly do, for a
third." said Mrs. Green.
"Quack, quack, bv all means I care
for the opinion of a duck," suid Mrs.
White Pekln Duck,
"Quack, quack, by all means 1 do,
too. i care for no other opinion,"
said Mrs. White Duck.
"Harken to the duck pond a-talking,
und u-quncking," said Mr. Gander, as
lie turned ills long neck und looked
at Mrs. Goose.
"It's quite absurd," said Mrs. Goose,
"quite absurd. We know better than
to pay any attention to what they
say."
"Can't you he more sociable?" asked
Mrs. Green, who wanted to be friend-
l> with all her neighbors.
"It's quite Impossible for as to have
anything to do with ducks.
"We'll not cflatter with you, we
won't associate with you.'
"We don't like any creatures but
ourselves, and how ct uld we? We're
so used to crossness tlint we love it,
and other creatures don't.
"That's tlie way
we are."
. "Can't you be-
come used to be-
I n g p I e a s a n t?"
asked Mrs. Green
"We don't care
to be pleasant,"
shrieked Mr. Guil-
der.
"We'd hate to be
pleasant," added
Sirs. Goose.
"We'd find It tin-
p I e n s a n t to be
pleasant," said Mr.
Gander.
"That we would,"
agreed Mrs. Goose.
"Well, now I see
tvli.v they're called
geese," said Mrs. Green, as the geese
walked off once more, wuhbllng still,
though their heads were held so high,
"it's because they haven't the sense
ti try -to lie pleasant.
"They wouldn't even enjoy being
pleasant."
And all the ducks agreed that the
family name of geese was the right
one for members ef the Goose family.
