Cost OF ifigh Bred Poultry.

Convinced that he should follow the
advice Of those who know how to i'm
prove the flock of fowls, the farmer is
naturally anxious to know what the
cost of new blood will be. If the
flock is the ordinary farm stock,
mainly mongrels, and the grade is to
be raised chiefly from egg production,
new blood of dollar head will be
good enough. If the stock already
on hand is of one breed and of fairly
good quality, and the new blood is
desired to add to the size of eggs or
to increase egg production or size of
coming chicks, then stock at four or
even five dollars head is none too
good. If fancy fowls are wanted, bred
to the standard, then he must expect
to pay anywhere from ten dollars up
per bird. But where you can get
stock which will add to the value of
that you already have. If increased
egg production is wanted, buy from
breeders who are willing to guarantee
that their stock is all they claim for it
in the matter of egg production. If
weight and markings are desired, buy
from those making specially Of these
points. Last, but by no means least,
not be fooled by the claim that north
ern bred stock is necessary to add
value to southern hocks, or vice versa.
1t is agreed that certain seeds north
ern grown are best for southern plant
ing, but the claim will not hold good
water with poultry. Buy where you
can get the best value for your money
and the nearer home the better, other
things being equal.-Atlanta Journal.

Tapestry For Library Decoration.

Squares of tapestry in French in.
stead of Flemish designs are found in
the shops and are very ornamental for
dining-room or library decoration.
They are worked in light pinks, blues
and white, like gobelin tapestries or
in the dull blues and reds and green's
of the Dutch variety. Framed in mar
row bands of oak or polished green
wood, they make charming pictures
for mantel inches, bookshelf tops or

The spring grenadines are more
open in design than those of last year
and the patterns are decidedly original.
Colors are found among some of the
handsomest patterns, but the most
effective pieces are black. One very
open pattern has half-inch bar,
separated from its counterpart by two
narrow, almost thread. like bars. The
open space formed by this arrange
ment is an inch square, and the effect
when the grenadine is made over a
color is Of broadly checked velvet or
silk. Nothing more striking could
well be imagined. Closely woven
checks which show the rich fabric to
advantage and give merely glimpses
of the underdress are pretty and in
good taste, while more fanciful are
stars of grenadine connected by
loosely woven circles that make one
think of cobwebs. The richer grena-
dimes are not the fiat, shiny, wiry
fabrics of olden times; they are soft
and velvety; indeed, it is difficult
matter to distinguish them from
chenille or lace embroidered with
chenille.

before her delicate and exalted talents
became known in Paris and in Mad
rid, where she lived for number of
years. The stanza quoted above is an
imperfect quotation from finished
and moving sonnet, entitled. '"To
Cuba at Parting" written at the time
Gertrude Gomez was taken by her
parents to Spain, apparently to re-
move her from Republican influences.
She was always an ardent sympathizer
with the struggles of Cuba for free

Gertrude was born in Puerto de

his troubled youth. Gertrude was
only little girl of seven when He
redia lived in her native town, and
not much older when, in 1928, the
poet was in New York, exiled from
Spanish nominations for working
Cuba libre." But his influence up
on her thought and talent is very
marked, although it does not appear
that the two ever met. Heredia's i'm
passioned poetic prophecy of noble
future for Cuba, 'when America
should be one country under one
starry flag from the equator to the
pole," found echo in the girl poets
heart. Her sonnet, "To Washing
ton, is not only fine example of
this difficult poetic form, but is good
Yankee patriotism, in this latter day
sense of Yankees.
The poem of Gertrude Gomez, writ.
ten to the memory of Hersdia when
"the Cnban troubadour" died in Mex
leo in 1899, is full of fervor.
She was only twenty when she went
to live in Madrid, and it is on record
that she was much sought after and
admired for her charms of personali-
ty, as we'll as for her literary talents.
She wrote a novel entitled 1.-TWO
Women" which had lively vogue,
and is still held in esteem by connis-
seurs Of Spanish fiction. Her poems,
"Love and PRIDE" "Music," and
"To YOUTH" were much quoted by
the Castilian gallants of her day.
