A Fashionable Tailor's View.
Among other well-known "dressers'' in
the smart set" the objection to the
proposed reform is general. The chief as
sistant of an ultra fashionable tailor in
this city, remarkably elegant man. both
in person and manner, was quietly op-
posed to any such innovation.
"Such dress as that proposed by Lord
Cover" he said, would display personal
imperfections which are now easily hid
den or palliated by the present style. A
great number Of men, for instance, are
bow-legged, a deformity which, If it be
not strongly developed, is easily hidden
by the long trousers, but which would
show very plainly in knee breeches.

legs would also hardly be slightly in tight,

we'll as with trousers. The costume he
proposes consists, TO commence at the

after the Tuxedo pattern, and knee

after Matching. Early and late, wet or
dry, these chicks roamed at will, and
at night were broodeC by the mother
hen under a stairway. But, as usual,
the eighth week brought the head
disease, following their weaving. Fur
Their nursing was abandoned, and the
disease was allowed to have its own
way with them for nearly two weeks.
BY this time the ScabS were we'll de-
veloped, but the sturdy youngsters mad
kept keen appetites, and the eyes,
though affected, were not blinded, so
that there seemed prospect of bring
ing them through. A mixture of vine
gar, salt and soda was applied to the
ScabS and repeated two days later. The
second application brought to the cor
ners of the eyes large, thick scabs of
hardened whitish matter, which were
easily removed. A day later the scabs
were lifted off, showing the skin clean
and dry. Without tonic or further
treatment this flock reached maturity
safely. showing no check in their
growth.
A fourth flock of Al chicks (hatched
in August) was given it's liberty from
the start, and when weaned was put
into the same breeders that had been
used for the earlier fiocks of the sea-
son. This flock matured without the
slightest touch of head disease or other
ailment An October flock also came
safely through.
Season of 19O1-The first hatch of the
year was taken off in February, the
second in March. and no head disease
was encountered. In May a flock of 10
chickens were Matched, and in July
they were down with about everything
possible When weaned they were
housed at night in weaving pen of
8 X 5 feet floor space, and feet high,
with a wire front. This front had
curtain, which for week was drawn
over it regularly to protect the chicks
from any sudden change of tempera-
ture while only partly feathered. The
brooder Cor weaving penn seemed close
and foul-smelling on opening it every
although it was ventilated at
the top and the floor cleaned every
and covered with fresh earth.
