The dress has a round neck and long sleeves and its waist and sleeves are richly embroidered in silk. The sleeves of the coat are shorter and are slashed, revealing a satin lining in a contrasting color. The wide chin col lar is of natural squirrel fur. Velvet and other soft-faced fabrics invite rich and elaborate embroideries and the yogue of fur contributes anotheér lux- urious element to-the composition of formal suits.

(Propared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Figures collected from various cow- testing associations throughout the country and compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture tend to confirm the previous conclusions of the department that within the breeds, so far as they were represented by these -animals, which were mostly grades, the large cows are the biggest producers_of dairy products and" are also the most profitable. The evidence seems to pbint to the fact that in the individual farmer’s herd it will be found that on the average the larger cows are more profitable than the smaller ones, although there are some indications that this may not hold true in the case of herds of native cattle containing much beef blood. + The cows whose records have been used by ‘'the department ‘have been sorted out so that.only mature animals’ were used for these comparisons, thus eliminiating any differences that might have been caused by the Immaturity of some cows. In one group for which figures have been prepared there were 160 cows classified as small, 201 as medium, and 129 as large. The small cows aver- aged 243 pounds of butterfat a year, and made an income over the cost of feed of $77.39. Those of medium size made 289 pounds of butterfat and an income over feed cost of $88.91. The large cows produced 345 pounds of A High Producing Cow—The Result of Good Breeding. butterfat and a return above feed cost of $105.74. In another group there were 461 emall cows, 483 classed as medium, and 326 large. Those in the first classification made 240 pounds of but- terfat on an average and an income over cost of feed of $89.11. The medi- ums made 278 pounds of butterfat and $106.09 over feed cost. ’I'Jle large ones produced 299 pounds of butterfat and an income over feed cost of $108.20. These tables were based mostly on figures for the years 1916 to 1919, in- Jusive, which accounts for the high average income over cost of feed.

Which Were' Worse Than Useless. ‘Watching an elderly man secattering cracked corn' to City Hall park spar- rows the other day stirred a reminis- cent vein in one of the bench occu- pants. “They treat sparrows differently than they did twenty-five.years ago,” he said, “Guess they discovered they couldn’t get rid of them and decided to make thiem comfortable. “A qu‘\r(er of a century ago many comniunitie$ “made determined efforts to kill off spirrows.

But setting out®for the ‘church he came to another church where a wedding was in progress.
