Little Max is as beautiful and as

Cut Green Bone for Hens,

We have seen it stated that there
are some people who are of the opin-
ion that cut green bone is of no ad-
vantage to laying hens, and even lean
to the belief that the feeding of it is
frequently attended with injury. You
can find people who VIII contend that
about every article of food which has
ever been recommended by expert
enced poultrymen is unfit for that
purpose, and it is likely to make Sc
rious trouble if so used. There are
people in the world who find pleasure
in being contrary, and some of them
have gone into the poultry business
1t is to be regretted if they have con-
WINGED any beginner that cut green
bone cannot be fed to laying hens in

BABY'S FINGER NAILS.
Mothers Should Take Care of Them
If They Would Preserve the
Beauty of Darling's Hands

If the mother would preserve the
beautiful contour and texture of her
baby's soft little hands she cannot be-
gin too early to care for them. As ii
is, however, few girls ever own a mani
cure set until they are young women.
By that time, as often as not. the hand
is beyond reclaim. Baby's finger nails
should be trimmed neatly and careful
ly from very birth. During the first
year this will be sufficient, but from
that time on the mother will give them
a five minutes treatment at least once
a week.
Any little detached cuticle about the
base of the nails must be trimmed off
from day to day with the tiniest and
brightest manicure scissors obtainab BILE,
and the flesh about the nail pressed
away from it with a soft, old piece of
linen. In this way the tender deli
cate flesh about the finger tips will
become firm and hard, and the child
will not suffer from that painful Attic
ton known as hang nails. This, while
commonly regarded as a most trivial
thing, is. nevertheless. often the cause
of much graver troubles, ending in
nervous diseases and blood poisoning.
Where baby's nails have been prop
.erly trimmed from birth the habit of
nail biting is never contracted. Where
it has already been formed, however
the mother can overcome it Immediate
ly by putting the child through care
full course of treatment. If the nails
are tough enough to stand the opera
ton they will be filed instead of CIT
with scissors, and at first they will be
kept very short.
Something will be done every day
even if it is only to rub them gently
AS biting the nails is purely nervous
affection, it is imperative, in aggravat t.
ed cases, to put the child under physi
clans care. If baby should suddenly
display voracious appetite for its fin,
ger nails, as is often the case even in
infants, you can depend upon it that
something is not right, and the physi
clan will probably tell you that the
food is not agreeing with it.
Children should be taught from ba
byhood how to hold the hands graceful
ly and naturally while in repose, and
when using them to do so daintily.
Each time after the hands are
washed good plan is for the moth
er or nurse to not only press back the
flesh about the base of the nail as al
ready described, but to also press the
tips of the fingers very firmly on either
side of the nail and the result in few
years will be the beautiful tapering fin
ger tips so rare and so much coveted
by everybody, especially every woman

THE FLOUR SHAMPOO.
A COmmOn-Sense Substitute for the
Horrible Messiness of Soap
Suds and Water.

Isn't it a pity that women persist
in running their hair by too much
soap and water? says the London Mail.
One of the most successful coiffures
refuses to shampoo with it oftener
than twice a year unless the hair is
unusually oily. For other shampoos,
given once month, -four is used. The
-four bath takes time, but is an effec-
tive shampoo. The powder is sifted
into the hair in handfuls. Then the
locks are divided into sections and
brushed with a soft brush until every
particle of white dust has been re-
moved. Three or four applications of
flour should be used at each shampoo,
the color and consistency of the
refuse proving that an amazing
amount of dust is removed from the
hair and scalp with each application.
Twice a year the hair should be
singed at the season when trees and
hedges are cut back. After the soap
and water shampoo only the purest
CASTLE soap should be used on the hair
-brilliantine should be applied, and
then there will be no trace of the stiff
ness and dryness usually so noticeable
after this shampoo. The hair should
be brushed every night with fine, fex-
ible brushes, and the brushes should
be cleaned twice or three times a
week with -four or ammonia and
water.
If the hair is turning gray or fall
ing out massage is the best remedy,
and by massage is not meant a rub
bing of the scalp, which will ruin the
finest head of hair, but a rotary move
ment of the scalp. To massage prop
erly finger is firmly pressed against
the head, and the loose scalp under it
pushed with a rotary motion. The
fingers are moved from point to point,
but are never permitted to slide over
or rub the scalp.
These new methods are abundantly
successful, but some women, in spite
of expert advice, persist in clinging
to old and dangerous ways, and then
they wonder why the hair becomes
thin or unlovely. Much harm is often
done by the use of noXious kinds of
soap-a misguided passion for cleanli-
ness should not mean the destruction
of beauty. but its preservation or en-
hancement.

FEED BOX FOR TURKEYS.

an arrangement as illustrated. The
feed stand is made of an orange box and
a few laths. Taking a box head, I
nailed two-inch strips aroundit, making
a shallow box. The legs are laths;
on the box put another lid; and above
all l made a peaked roof. Then I
nailed strips around the box which left
openings large enough for the turkeys
to put their heads through. The
grain is put in the box and turkeys can
eat whenever they wish. If desired, in
stead of the peak, few bricks can be
placed on the box. 1t is marvellous how
the cockerels can cling to the edge
and stick their heads through the open
ings. The length of the legs must be
determined by the size of the turkeys.

Feeding Lambs for Market.

In feeding lambs for market, the
feeder must have in view the fact thai
there is most demand for the lamb
that has fat and is plump at the
weight of 100 pounds. This type is
one that is not too much boned and
big framed, but such as require only
a small amount of flesh to make the
carcass smooth and plump at the
weight indicated. When it comes to
feeding yearlings, then a larger
framed sheep, one with smooth and
deep flesh at 1875 to $50 pounds, is the
one that is desirable. The feeder must
have these facts in mind when he con-
siders the ideal type for the feed lot,
in addition to consideration of that
which gives the greatest gain.
