but the model coctums have a reversed

close as a glove, as a very wrinkled glove,

There are other points. however, be-

or who are still in winter makeshifts.
Her skirt is different in that, for walking

there are but three seams and those are
all right in the back, while not fold

All the well-informed women who are

Blue in a variety of rich and glowing
shades is the all-conquerng spring color,
but this time not the bluette tone. Sap

writer in the Homestead says:
continue to crowd out that once noble
breed the Black Spanish, by breed
ing them to an outlandish white
face?
Why is it that they will continue
to crush the Polish by holding fast to
! binding crest?
Why is it that they will each year
make Cochins more of a bag of feath-
ers than anything else?
Why will they diminish the size of
the Leghorn so that it is not more
than that of a Bantam?
Why are the Plymouth Rocks and
Silver Wyandottes so bred that they
become easy prey to vertigo?
Why are the Minorcas continued in
such gigantic combs.
Why is the Plymouth Rock so bred
that it has become a delicate fowl,
one readily overwhelmed, a subject to
apopleXy and kindred diseases?
Al this is no fault of the breed, but
the breeder, or rather the fancier, is
annually giving the utility cause a

Matching Hints.

When two hens are Matching at the
same time, put all the chicks as they
hatch under one hen and the I'M
Matched eggs under the other.
Keeping the sitters shut in until
late in the day will prevent other
hens from making use of their nests
for laying, and thereby save much
risk to the eggs.
If a hen deserts her nest, don't
throw the eggs away. Put them in
warm water for five minutes, dry
them with a rag, wrap in wollen and
set by the stove and hunt another
broody hen. With care the eggs will
wait for two or three days if not bad
ly chilled.

morning and evening regularly, they
will not interfere with crops or do
any damage. Geese and dusks are
both profitable, if room is plenty and
water handy.
Above all eles, it is essential to send
poultry to market in a merchantable
condition whether live or dressed),
looking clean, fresh and tempting.
Eggs should also be clean, and pack
ed with sweet material; otherwise
they will acquire musty, bad flavor.
We find by attending strictly to these
rules, our returns are satisfactory

DrGks in the South,

H. r. Geer advocates the raising of
nore ducks in the South. In an arti-
lie on the subject in Farm and
Ranch, he says: There is money in
ucks. and it comes from three
*ources: Their eggs, their feathers
md the final sale of the ducks them
selves. Feathers range in price from
to 60 cents a pound, and a good
sized flock of Pekin ducks will yield
everal pounds of feathers at pick
ing. and when they have access to
Hlenty of water, they can be picked
three times year, for their feathers
row faster and heavier when they
re in the water most of the time.
The Pellin duck is a good layer, and
he lays a fine, big pinkish white egg,
Watch her of morning, keep her up
i'll or 10 o'clock, or until after she
avs, or else she may lay in the water
rs they are not very particular where
they lay. The Pekins begin laying
II this latitude by February 1, and
'aY until about June, when they quit
i'll the next season.
In size they are large, frequently
Weighing eight or ten pounds, but the
'verage weight is less than that. Tn
fact, five pounds is fair weight for
Pekin duck, and six and a half for
drake. We are aware that the
tandard weight, according to the
>merican standard of perfection, is
much higher for exhibition ducks,
but we are also aware that a duck, to
