Wales informed the colonial officials
that $50 of the commissioned officers
and men of the defensive forces of New
South Wales had volunteered their serv-
ices if wanted for South Africa. The
following telegram in reply was re-.

Profit in SQUADS.


Make each pair Of birds take GER
tain box. For instance, II the birds
seem to prefer a high box, give 1t to
them; IL low one, choose one nearer
the floor. One can always judge by
their actions. All the empty boxes
must be kept closed. 1t Is surprising
how quickly they will learn their own
boxes, and once settled the male bird
defies all intrusion. BY so doing you
learn all your birds by sight, and IL
there are odd or strayed ones in the
flock they may be removed. At night
is the best time to look them over.
Feed little besides corn and wheat,
with box of oyster shells and grit.
To avoid disease clean the boxes from
which the squads have been taken to
kill and scrape the floor once a week
or every two weeks. Keep air-slacked
lime and carbolic acid scattered about
profusely and the disease will soon de-
part. This must be done frequently
the year round. as perseverance and
constant attention are the only way
to success.-Farmers' Voice.

ribbon are used in this way, converging

Painting and embroidery are among
the most extravagant notions. The rich
woman may pay whatever price she likes
for such decoration, and the possessor Of
a short pocketbook can do the work for
herself, perhaps. Then she has to con-
slider the question of dressing up to it.
Silk, satin and cloth are embroidered and
painted. Compromises are effected when
painting is desired on cloth by embroid-
ering into place painted designs in silk.

The bolero is feature of some OF the

silaxe for Fatteninv Cattle.

At the Ontario Agricultural College
they fed three lots of two steers each as
follows: Lot 1 had 81 pounds of en-
slage each, lot 2, 81 pounds Of sllage
and pounds of hay. lot 3. 43 pounds Of
roots and IL pounds of hay. Each had
about ~ pounds day of grain, consist
ing of ground peas. barley and oats.
Lot weighed 2,IS0 pounds at the begin
ming, and in 146 days gained 500 pounds
or 10 pounds each per day. Lot .
weighed 2,135 pounds at first and
gained in same time AS pounds, or 153
pounds each per day. Lot 3 weighed
1872 pounds, and in the time gained 531
pounds. or IA pounds day. The gain
by feeding only ensilage and grain was
not much larger than thai on roots and
hay with grain. but all estimates indl-
cate that the silage is much more easily
and cheaply produced, the 81 pounds
requiring less land and less labor than
the 43 pounds of roots. to say nothing
of cost of the hay.

With all the rest The Gnal 4nderskirt
may be only . few inches deep. or II may
show almost 70 the knees. Sometimes
the first overskirt IL slashed to show the
under one. and In some cases both over
skirt and polonaise are slashed to the
hip. In this model the lower skirt was
corn colored silk, next II was the. same
silk embroidered In green and gold and
the polonaise was sage green broadclofh.
Tucked silk gave the yoke, and black
velvet on the bodice was cleverly arrang-
ed to relieve princess severity.
Between these two costumes Is one of
the gowns. that by current standards are
classified as simple, though they usually
are marked BY exquisite ft and high
grade materials. so are costly product.
This one was q warm brown camcls
hair, black looped cording supplying the
only trimming. The belted polonaise is
very popular and suits almost all figures.
The princess form of 1t Is just the thing
for fine figure. and belted poIonaise
like this one is little less trying. The
belt should dip in front, and when there
Is q buckle II should emphasize the down
pointing. In this trickery the pictured
belt and buckle give a helpful hint. The
current variations of the princess cut are
so many and their divergences from the
original are SO cleverly disguised that one
is apt to get the idea that princess
gowns are more plentiful than they really
are. The fact is that very few women
dare don the entirely unrelieved princess.
Very pretty softenings are secured by
stitchings or other elaboration. and some
of these quite change the gown in its ex-
actions from the wearer. In this picture
is one. a lovely dotted black net gown
made over pink silk. bands of black lace
passing from collar to skirt hem. A

are made OF embroidered cloth or crepe
with fringe knotted in. Lace edged with

shown here had long polonaise over

scallops of which pink silk undcrskirt

part of the elaboration of the bodice as
well.
This effects polonaise over double

now and which. in another form. appears
in the third gown of this row. or the
fashion IL may be said that IL cuts up
the figure good deal, but it is stylish
and sometimes suits ones cloth finely, so
Is worth consideration. The polonaise
for such skirts is usually rather elabo-
rate. as the fringed one just described.
1t Is usually scrofled, or cut in scallops
or points and shaped down in front. The
skirt showing below Is usually OF Aome
elaborate material. IL may match the
yoke or waistcoat. which the polonaise or
dinarily shows. or Il may be a piece Of
