Curious to relate, the French are at
tributing many of their styles to our
country. The decolletage which brings
about the shoulders, without a support
of any sort. is called the American
neck. -
Both smooth and rough white straw
hats are to be trimmed with flowers and
bows of ribbons for wear at Easter with
dresses of heavy C4aterials. Tulle and
chiffon hats, however. will be worn with
pretty much everything
Beautiful foulard and pongee suits
are made with narrow panels down each
seam. The Monte Carlo style trimmed
with groups of little buttons and pen
dants, with braid or piping, is very fash
ionable in spring silks, linens and mus

Many white tulle bolero hats have

Epaulet effects are new and stylish in
all sorts of waists and even in lace col
lars. The shoulder pieces are very smart
and it must be confessed they are grace
full. The most popular ones are those
where the epaulets and yoke are cut from
one piece and these give very charming
grace to the figure.

Using Old Hens.

Expert poultrymen claim that after a
hen has passed her second year she is
no longer fit for laying purposes. and
should be sent to the carcass market
This may be so in many cases, and no
one will question the fact that the best
egg results come from fowls two years
old and under. On the other hand one
frequently finds individual hens that
lay better at three and four years old
than when younger, and when such is
the case it would be folly to kill such
bird. Before deciding to send all of
the hens over two years old to the ear
cass market, ascertain what each of
them is doing in the way Of egg pro
duction. Then, too, these old hens,
many of them, are extremely useful at
Matching season, even though the main
dependence is placed on an incubator.
Be sure the old hen has lost her useful
ness before you sentence her to the
block.

lace dyed to just the right shade, but
there are those who know how, and it
can easily be imagined that they will
charge very high for doing it. One thing
is to be said in favor of dying laces and
that is that it enables a woman to have
gown of cluny, Irish or antique lace
she has used this winter cut up and
dyed. Then it may be used as trimming
for a new colored gown without posi-
bility of its being recognized Cluny is
appearing in shade that exactly
matches the natural pongee color, and it
is seen in pattern robes OF the pongee
where it is simply stunning. Heavy
laces are to be used more than the thin
silk ones for summer gowns. You see,
the delicate nets and chantilly were for
winter wear so it is proper now to look
for heavy sorts for summer. What in
consistency!
Disappointment is in store for women
who above all other things desire com
fort and that is that the short skirts so
faithfully promised at the beginning of
the season are not to be in as much favor
as was expected. There were promises
that they would be the general get-up en-
the street, and the new models were so
dressy that it looked as if the most fas-
tidious would be suited. Alas! they have
not materialized, and not only are the
street gowns not short, but they are long
er, if anything. than before. The only
reason that can be seen why the short
suits have not been a go is that the fad
is to be for white and very light shad-
ings, which certainly do not lend them
selves in the least degree to short suits.
The same amount of decorations that
were promised for the short suits are re-
tanned in the tailoring of the gowns that
actually are to be the style. These are

With the vision of acres of soil to
plow before him, the farmer begins to
see the advantages of fall blowing
under certain conditions. If portion
of the sell was plowed in the fall, all
necessary this spring is to harrow 1t
and prepare the seed bed. If the bulk
of the blowing is TO be done this
spring the first to be plowed should be
the sod land. This is contrary to the
operations of most farmers, who pre-
fer to get all the growth possible In
the early spring to turn under, bur
there are advantages in early blowing
of sod land to Offset any that may
come from obtaining the grass growth
to turn under. If the sod land is plow-
cd early it will resist drought much
better for in its preparation for a crop
the sun will have no chance to dry il
out rapidly, as it will later if the plow-
ing is left until then. Then, too, there
is the advantage of being able to get
out to sod land before it would be pos
sible to put plow into soil that has
been under cultivation. Try the plan
this year and compare the crop with
that in former years when the sod
land was the last to be plowed.--St

A CENTURY OF EASTER HATS.
The Whims of Dame Fashion in a
Hundred Years.

A(aA -
The periods of a century are punctu-

Beginning Nth the first year of the last
century. Dame Fashion was modest and
ic-cxpensiv~. for then, as now, the modes
came fror France, and simplicity was
prevailing in Paris at thar time, in strik-

aristocratic ladies who lost not only their
hats but their heads in the Revolution.
Tea years later the fashionable lat re-
sembled an elbow of stovepipe more close
ly than anything else, and women of the
present day have at least one thing TO be
thankful for-that such styles no longer
prevail The bonnets of 1928 and $50

Offering such charming background for
ringlets bobbing around the ears. Flow

old time hats. which ten years later We're
modified into a simplicity almost Quaker
like, as al 1910 illustration will evidence.
Reaching the turning point of the CEN

hats of to-day are the prettiest OF the

of millinery to-day than at any time dur

and skill in the manipulation Of materials
and more elegance and expense in their

Each year finds the custom of ex-
changing gifts at Easter more wide
spread. Unlike Christmas presents. in

If the bees are wintering in a cellar

winterlng in protected hives out Of
doors or under a shed, it Is only neces-
sary to make provision for an opening

Baby Beef.


If the farmer will produce baby beef
he can fill his pasture to the full limit
with cows producing calves. and he
will realize on the calves twelve
months from the date of their birth.
Capital is turned Annually instead of
once in every three years. The farm
er's grain will produce from 80 to 100
per cent more pounds of baby beef
than it will of beef from the mature
steer. and for the past three years the
baby beef animal has sold for as high
prices per hundred as has the average
steer.
In producing baby beef the farmer
can market his heifer calves at the
same price as his steers, and win usu-
ally get more for the twelve-months-
old heifer than he would for the same
animal if kept until maturity.-Kansas
