A Pretty Novelty of the Season.

The novelty of the season has per-
haps been the vertically plated mus
lin gowns striped at wide intervals
and also vertically with inch wide
black velvet ribbons. The plaits are
allowed to flare only at the very ankles
or perhaps at the knees in a deep plait-
ing above a second plating that forms
a sort of petticoat effect. Often where
but one plating is used as the hem
broad hoops Of guipure encircle the
princess one at the knees and reach
ing almost to the ankles, another at
the hips, the waist, the bust, etc. The
ribbons stripping the muslin plaitings
are threaded through these lace bands
or end on each side of them with a
loop fastened down with tiny button
or buckle.
Somewhat similar is a princess built
of shirred black muslin in vertical
lines. each putting separated by line
of half inch black velvet ribbon or by
a black lace beading through which a
velvet ribbon is threaded. This reach
es from the round neck almost to the
knees in unbroken lines, black velvet
buttons fastening 1t behind.-Bosto

The center part shown in Fig is
used for a feed and work room, and in
it there should be feed cooker, with a
big iron kettle hung so that its con-
tents can be dumped into the mixing
trough. In using this feed corker so
that it will not become a nuisance have
a good tight iron cover made so that it
can be drawn up overhead with a little
rope and pulley. Connect this with a
one inch pipe to the chimney, which
will carry off all Of the steam and odor
Of the cooker. Make another connection
for the cook stove size, to correspond
with the size of kettles used.
The cook stove should be good large
one. A very good one can usually be
found in the scrap piles at country hard
ware stores or scrap iron dealers in the
cities, for small price.
All the feed and supplies are kept in
the second stories and so arranged as to
run down through troughs into the lit
tie feed boxes, B, where they can readily
be reached. They should be mixed dry
and already for use and marked so that
they can easily be selected for the diff

Guineas are good layers, and their

Neatsfoot oil is said to be better than
kerosene for many Of the ills of fowls
because it is less irritating.
If the hens get too fat feeding with
oats for a few days will soon reduce
them.
While sound oats are egg producing
better results will be secured by alter
mating them with wheat bran.
Leghorns, Minorcas, Spanish, Anda-
lusians and HsmburgS are the fowls
with the big egg producing records, but
they are not the best table fowls.
A fowl that is inclined to fatten rap
idly is rarely a good layer. The flesh it
carries makes it lazy, and this never
promotes laying.
