"Next' fashions they are called by the elec among the modiste clan, probably be cause they are next to the last word in fashion designing-, and are intended to outshine anything that ever came Trom the workshops of Felix or Worth In that dear Paris. Such gowns! Beautiful? Yes. More than that, they are the quintessence of ail that is odd in up-to-the-minute fashionable attire for milady. It is even hinted that the liberties taken by the modistes in shape, effect and general desigij will make her highness innK ana gasp in amazement ana de light. Harem Gown Coming In. There's the harem gown, that looks as f it might have been fashioned for the Sultan's favorite, or the darling of the gods; the gown with bodice cut In front to resemble a butterfly, more lacy butterflies on the front of thi skirt and billows of satin at the hips the "Josette" with a skirt that looks like one of mother's prized lace cur tains, and which falls unevenly over the ankles, the bodice cut like a vest in front and with wings over the hips another sleeveless affair with a foamy, ragged effect, lace smothered skirt that hangs as unevenly as a row of icicles from the eaves of a farmhouse; 6till another with clusters of roses on the sides of a bobbed-off uneven skirtette that successfully avoids covering filmy lace petticoat. Some Bathing? Salts, Too. Then the bathing suits. The "dream" of the lot is a striped satin conceit, cut hig-h in the neck and witli a skirt that Iihiis to a point and trimmed nearly half way up with satin leather.

POTATO CARDS iSSOED BERLI.V TAKES MEASURES TO PUT CHECK OX SPECI LATIOX. Earh Holder to Be Permitted to Bay 11 Pounds Every 12 I. at Uni form Price of 65 Pfenning. BERLIN', via London, March 12. Potato cards, the issuance of which has been made necessary by the shortage, elite, it is ascertained, to speculators holding out for higher prices, will take their place alongside the bread and butter cards in Berlin on March 20. The first cards will cover a 60-day period and allow the holders to buy 11 Knglish pounds of potatoes every 12 days, probably at the uniform price of 65 pfennings. Owing to the recent shortage in bread the military authorities today forbade the production of all cakes between March 13 and March 19, inclusive, made of white or potato flour, and their sale between March 15 and 19. This step was taken onsthe complaint of many bakers that other bakes who are not hort of flour were using it for cakes rather than for bread. The ehortage is due to unequal .distribution, which is expected to be remedied within a week. "NEEDY BROTHER" FAILS Brand "ev Swindle of "o Avail When Grips Are Not Shown. PHILADELPHIA. March 6. A brand pew model confidence game, worked out especially for fraternity men, has arrived. Although it is very simple, it is risky work. The operator" poses as a Fraternity brother and obtains a brotherly loan" from his victim, usu ally as much as he can get. Horace B. Reed, an Alpha Tau Omega man. was working in his office late when a shaggy looking individual en tered and became friendly. The person, who introduced himself as Jackson Ileynolds. of Oakland. Cal.. was a "bum." in Reed's opinion. Reed won dered why and whence came all the friendliness, until the man. seeing the pin on Reed's vest, exclaimed. "Why, I'm a member of your fraternity." "What fraternity?" asked Reed. "Your fraternity." parried the man. looking closely at the pin. "the Geeps." "Oh, you mean the Oeks.'1 replied Tteed. thinking of the G. E. K's. tfie Gamma Etta Kappa Fraternity, a high fcchool organization. "Yes." said the man. Reed then explained that he had mis taken his pin, as they are similar, both Veing Maltese crosses. Keed. however, knew the "Geks" well and didn't like to refuse to aid one. Reed excused himself and phoned B. K. Wolfe, grand recorder, to look in the catalogue for a Jackson Reynolds in the Oakland, chap ter. The name was there, and Reed was almost convinced. The man then came to the point, saying he was in fi nancial difficulties and asked Reed to telegraph his parents at 3101 Summit avenue, Oakland, for car fare to return home. Reed agreed, for the story car ried conviction, and told the man to call for the money, which amounted to nearly $100. The man arrived on time, but no answer to the telegram. Two "Gek" friends of Reed, Richard choles and Wayne Steel, also arrived to talk with the man. Both "Geks" gave" "Reynolds" the fraternity grip, but he failed to re spond. They also casually mentioned several passwords in the course of tlieir conversation which were likewise Ignored. They then were convinced that the man was not a "Gek." ' "Reynolds" explained that he had "only been a member for two months in 1904" and had forgotten the signs. A fraternity man is always a fraternity man and he never forgets his grip and passwords. The three then excused themselves to nhone to Wolfe again, and in their ab sence the man fled. He did not wait for the elevators, but rushed down four flights of stairs and out into the street, where he disappeared. .Tolin rl?wwrhr, th" mit'icr. -vas cars of aa before he began to write.

Curry County, 17 miles south of Bandon, lying between the county road and the ocean. Is the largest piece of cleared land west of the Cascade Mountains. It contains 1100 acres, 700 of which are tillable. The ranch is made up of a great many homestead claims taken up years ago by Ht'.mbolt County. California, People, who saw here a similarity to the soil and climate of the former favored section. This ranch is included r one of the three agricultural surveys made by the Federal Government in the State of Oregon and their map ping shows that most of the soil of the Star Ranch is Coquille silt, than which no better soil has been found. Until recently the ranch was managed by Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, formerly a prominent resident of Portland, who went to the xildce about three years ago at the solicitation of the owners, who are for the most part San Vru isco people. In relinquishing his lease hold a few weeks ago to H. H. Hansen, a newcomer from Norway.

They raise luO calves a year most of which are soid to neighboring ranchers who are thus Improving their own herds. Professor Fitts, of Oregon Agricultural College, says there are no finer bred cattle anywhere than those on the Star Ranch Seven purebred Holstein. bulls head the Star Ranch herd. Pastnmse Afforded All Year. The mild equable climate furnishes green pasturage the year round. Stock cattle are not fed at all, out the dairy herd Is fed oat and veatcn hay. Three huge silos each holding 150 tons insure an abundance of green feed during the short season when green feed is not abundant in the pastures. Two large fields are planted in arti chokes. The yield from artichokes Is prodigious. The stalks are fed green to the cattle which eagerly devour them lock, stock and barrel. 'Four acres in artichokes will furnish sufficient green feed for a herd of 103 cows for a period of six weeks. The yields below ground are as important as that above. After the stalks have been cut the hogs are turned in the field to root out the tubers which are a nourishing and ex cellent food.

The yield of artichokes is greater to the acre than that of potatoes. After the artichokes are gone beets, rutabagas and kale are fed. These vegetables grow well here, rutabagas having been grown on this ranch weighing 15 pounds apiece. Consider able grain is grown also, 92 acres having been devoted to oats and veatch last season. Calf-RalnJnK Is Profitable. A great source of profit in raising pure bred cattle is the calves, 3-months-old calves bringing as much as $125. The calves are fed very carefully. "It's cold milk that kills calves," says Dr Wetherbee ir speaking of methods of feeding. The calf barns are divided Into a great many sections where the calves are placed according to age. Each calf has a separate stanchion, where it cannot waste its food or suck its neighbors' ears. They are Ted ti of galvanized iron buckets which are steam scalded twice a. week to keep them sanitary. Their milk is warmed to normal tern perature before being fed. All their food, milk, whole oats and barley, is accurately weighed and measured. The calves are fed whole milk until 4 months old.

I Dri Wetherbee explains the Interest ing and simple method of treatmnt for throat worm. If the case is not too far gone, an injection of two cubic centl meters of turpentine into the wind pipe will cure it. Running the fingers along the ealve's throat the windpipe is seised firmly and the hypodermic needle is forced through. Two Immense Barns Vsed. The cattle are housed In two Immense barns, one having stanchions for 100 cows and the other for 150 cows. These barns are equipped with an automatic milk trolley, which takes ' the milk direct to the ch'eese factory, and with automatic manure carriers. The milking has been done for five years with B. C. K. milking machines which have been, found perfectly satis factory, the cost of milking having been reduced 50 per cent by their -use. Five machines milk 150 cows in two hours. The Star Ranch has its own thresh ing machine, feed-grinding machinery, woodsawing machine, blacksmith shop, and steam and gasoline engines for many purposes. Water is piped by gravity to every part, of the ranch from pure, sparkling springs. Th pTpnt business of the ranch is j cheesemaking. They have a modern. well-equipped and sanitary factory m charge of an Oregon Agricultural Col lege man, who is an expert at the busi ness. In all, 12 men, graduates and undergraduates of Oregon Agricultural College, are employed upon the Star Ranch, a tribute to the efficiency of that school. The fact that all of the Star Ranch cheese is mado from Holstein milk which has been properly handled In sures its uniform excellence. The cheese is hauled to Bandon, from whence it is shipped to the best cheese markets on the Pacific Coast. Hogs Brine In Profit. In addition to the sale of dairy prod ucts and livestock, hogs are a. lucra tive source of income.. The Star Ranch has 22 pure-bred Duroc Jersey hogs and a fine boar which Dr. Wetherbee bought at the State Fair grounds in Salem, wearing the blue ribbon which had been awarded him in competition with all corners. The ranch also pos sesses a prize sow which produced 32 pigs in a period of 12 months. The pigs from the Star Ranch are sold to North Curry County farmers. Curry County has a cow-test!ng as sociation comprising 800 cows. This is in charge of a dairy herd expert from Corvallls, who -makes accurate tests and keeps records of each cow in the association. Several days of each month he spends on the Star Ranch testing the herd. In this way it is easily determined which cows are producers and which are merely boarders and an expense on the business. Those not up to the standard are fattened and sold for beef. The Star Ranch enjoys the bene fits of advanced registry. Lectures Given at Conventions. On July 6, 150 dairymen of the neighboring section met at Denmark, Curry County, in convention. Lectures were g"iven by professors from the Ore gon Agricultural College and by ex perts sent out by the United States De partment of Agriculture. Stereopticon views were displayed showing the best breeds of cattle and sanitary barns. An exposition was given of the standard breeds of dairy cttle and a cattle-judging contest was iield. Dem onstrations were given on the fetar Ranch of proper methods of feeding and the care of calves, and the model calf barn properly housing 102 calves was shown to the visiting dairymen. Dr. Wetherbee explained why he chose Holsteln-Frlesian cattle in pref erence to other standard breeds b producing statistics compiled by Gov ernment experts and leading agricul tural journals which showed their su perior productivity. While Jersey milk will test higher, the Holstein cow, by a greater production, more than over comes this disadvantage. Jersey milk gets Its rich, yellow color from the comparatively large size of the fat globules. The fat globules in the Holstein milk are minute, and hence it is easy to digest and is much sought by physi cians for feeding Invalids, and is In efreat demand by manufacturers of baby foods. Holstein milk Is superior for cheesemaking. Dr. Wetherbee had charge of the Star Ranch for only three i ears, but in that time made great improvements in the farm buildings and instilled effi ciency and skill into the management of the big ranch.
