BURBANK CLASS.

the French are pushing forward rapid
ly, SO that the potato display at the
recent Paris agricultural show was con-
sidered the most notable exhibit.
In America attention has been direct
ed ather to the production of new va
rieties than to improvement by selec'
tion within a variety. These new va.
rieties are produced every year. and
when one is grown that has some quail
ity which makes it superior to proceed:
ing sorts, it is sure to find foothold
with potato growers and SO takes its
place as a market variety in the class
to which it belongs.
Most of those varieties are the prod
uct of careful crossing of the best sorts
and the gradual development of the re-
sultipg seedlings. When one is pro-
duced that possesses such character
istics as to separate it from all its pred
ecessors. it becomes the founder of a
new class. Each variety derived from
it, aud resembling it more or less. is
given a name to distinguish it from
other varieties. but all belong to the
same class, so that while growers rec
ognize both variety and class, dealers
acknowledge class only.

Feeding Fowls in Summer.

During the summer months the feed
of poultry should be changed from that
which was fed during the winter. Less
heating foods are needed as the spring
opens and the weather grows warmer.
and the fat-producing foods should
gradually be lessened in quantity.
Fresh grass and vegetables may be fed
generously, instead of so much grain,
and chickens should be given the range
of the barnyard and field to pick up
seeds and insects. In the hot summer
time but little corn and grain should
be fed. for these are so heating they
are apt to cause disease and death. The
best food that can be given to poultry
al this season is all the fruits. vegeta-
bles and green things, including seeds
and insects, they can eat.

MAKING HOME HAPPY.

The oeenAese Task Any women "r AHaD
Can Undertake.
One Of the most important requisites
for . happy home is self-control. es-
pecially . good command over temper
and tongue. There are many occasions
when the peace of q family might be
preserved by timely recollection of
the proverb that ''silence 10 golden"
Many of the efforts necessary for the
preservation of peace and happiness In
the home circle are of a negative kind,
and consist in RETAINING from the
things that Jar on others, such as rude
ness, impatience, fault-6nding and
other ''lesser foxes that spoil the
vine."' Yet this negative work is as
important as the most energetic exer-
more so.
1t is of great Importance that cour-
tesy be strictly observed in the family
circle. It is the lubricating oil that
makes the Earring machinery of life go
on smoothly. Insist on your children
observing the rules of politeness
towards each other as strictly as to-
wards strangers. Above all, let hus-
band and wife do this towards each
other, and the children will easily
and naturally imbibe the Same spirit
and form the same habit. Innocent
amusements are one of tho elements
of a happy home. and none is more re-
vate as a fine art the habit of talking
cheerfully and good humoredly in the
family MISUNDERSTANDING Earassing and
depressing topics, except when it Is abb
solutely necessary to introduce them.
little social enjoyment is necessary
in order to complete the circle of homo
happiness. It is not right always to
seclude ourselves in the privacy of
home. We should sometimes open the
doors. and admit others to share its
pleasures and comforts. In doing this
we will receive as much as we give, for
it will enlarge the circle of our ideas,
our affections and our sympathies
Flower culture is a great addition to
the happiness and general attractive
ness of a home. Indeed, no place
seems thoroughly homelike without
their lovely and fragrant forms. Be-
ing q pursuit that is carried on In tho
fresh air and sunshine, flower culture
adds to our health, besides gratifying
our taste and inclinations.
But when all is summed up, it seems
to me that the great value of home life
lies in something better than even hap
piness itself. 1t gives us the finest and
best discipline life could possibly af-
ford. It teaches. if we will receive its
training aright-lessons of unselhsh
love. patience, for!oearance, forgive
moss, self abnegation, and other lovely
virtues and graces. such as no other
school on earth could possibly afford.
In a high state of Development, home
life reminds me of a well-trained
orchestra in which the members, by
dint of prncticing with each other, and
tuning their instruments Ii. g., their
dispositions) to accord with each other,
learn to give forth a lovely and har-
monious symphony that is pleasing to
all persons.-Mary Washington Early,

and do not always look on the dark

to love and care for them-and when
he grows up he will call you blessed.

Why stock Farming Pays.

It'll pays to keep stock even when it
is low in price. We all know that
stock growing keeps our farms in bet
ter heart than grain growing; that by
steadily growing grain and selling it
our farms gradually run down. while
with stock growing we can keep them
up to a high state of fertility. 1t is
for just the reason here shown. The
farmer who sells a ton of wheat worth,
say, $50 or S25 sells 1918 worth of nj
trogen. phosphoric acid and potash,
while the farmer who sells ton O!
sheep worth $50 or 800 sells only 50. "A

WOMAN AND HOME.
8lNoEINo THE HAIR.

Eho Orthoso1 1Gooopn Erootms1s foe
Rough T1Usoss.Caatom Of Cllpptng the
-ssngeine Increases Vitality Of the Hair
and Rov1v0s Growth.
Various modes of washing and
styles of massage are claimed to ben
eft the hair and cure it Of i'll color
and weak growth, but for forlked
ends, ''snake tongues" as some women
call the splitting Of the ends of tho
accepted remedy. This is ''singeing."
To clip the ends every new moon was
the old custom. Every woman could
do it for herself, and In that act con-
sisted the entire scientific care of the
hair q decade ago. But 1t never was
very successful: tho hair with a ten
dency to split went right on splitting.
Singeing generally stops tho trouble,
Some of it's advocates claim that the
old ignorant method of clipping left the
little hollow tubes of the hairs open,
while singeing leaves them closed,
stopped in a natural state. But this
is an exceedingly fine point OF con-
tention.
Smuggling, unfortunately, cannot be
done by a woman for herself. Nor can
two women do it very satisfactorily
for each other, unless they happen to
be trained hair dressers.
Women who are in the habit of hav-
ing their hair ATTENDED to- advise the
singeing process once a month. Many
say that their own experience goes to
show that 1T acts upon the hair as
pruning does upon . plant-increases
its vitality and revives its growth.
This treatment is now given the hair
at all frst-class hair-dressing estab-
lishments here and abroad, while many
women have a standing appointment
with some favorite expert for treat
ment in her own dressing-room once q
month.
The approved process At one very
fashionable Partisan hair dresser's is
exceedingly simple, yet not safe in un-
trained hands. The hair is loosened
and shaken out, and the maid runs
over it with a lighted taper, touching
ell the projecting ends. A dasl, here
and fash there and you are singed.
Then you are swathed in Turkish
towels-gcntly inclined over the bowl
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1894-07-21

with warm spray turned upon your
head and anointed with cool, soapy,
scented things out of bottles. There
is moro hot spray, more amounting,
still another spray, growing cooler and
cold. Then the hair is dried as we'll as
one towel will do it. which is not much,
as it is the latest theory that rubbing
pulls out the hair.
You then SIT in front OF a large tube
curious arrangement for drying by hot
air. And the while this warm wave
rushes by you the girl ia manipulating
the hair-not rubbing it, but lifting
mud separating it in gentle massage,
and you grow de1icious1y drowsy, until
you need a cup of chocolate or some
thing more exhilarating to bring you
back to the subject of waves.
This treatment leaves every hair
light and individual, and the slight
waving gives the mass not compact
ness, but depth and mystery and q
decorative quality unknown to the
coiffures Of the fashion plates. This
aureole quality. this natural human
look of the hair, is we'll shown in the
beautiful portrait of Countess Potocl<i.
Such well kept hair, if arranged in
the mode by hair dresser who re-
spected its texture and living beauty,
would not lose Its decorative quality,
and q "bang would never be needed
to soften the outline Of the forehead.
Frequently in some conditions Of the
body the entire pilose growth will be
affected in the form of forlked ends,
each hair seeming to be of a different
length. the roughness and bristling
extending throughout the whole mass
Of tresses. In these cases no treat
ment seems efflcacious to eliminat e tho
forked tongue feature excepting rig
orous and systematic singeing.
The troublesome locks are uncoiled,
and coarse comb is swiftly passed
through them. Then the hair is taken
in strands, beginning at tho crown.
Each strand, in turn, is twisted "a
tightly as 1t can be, over and over, and
held out stiff and straight from the
head. The surface of tho twist is then
roughed up lightly with the comb un-
til tho forl1ed ends stand out all over
it. Then lighted taper is passed up
md down the twist until the outstand-
ing ends are burned away.
The entire hair is thus treated.
Generally the scalp is softly irri-
tated with the fingers after the SINCE
Ing, and sweet waters applied. followed
by n thorough brushing until it lies In
smooth, straight strands. without q
single snakes tongue. Then it IS
famed vigorously until perfectly dry.
