inches above the platform, will accom-
modate as many fowls as should be kept
in each pen.
The partitions between the pens should
be tight and of boards two and one-half
feet high with wire netting above. A
house of this length should be divided
by two solid partitions to prevent drafts
These partitions should likewise extend
through the alley, the doors being hung
on double action hinges. Nests should
be located under the platform and open
into the pens and alley so that eggs can
be gathered without going into each
pen.
The house may be built in any way
to suit the owners fancy and pocket
book. The most durable house, of
course, would be set on q brick or
stone foundation, and be constructed of
spruce timber and sheathed both inside
and outside of studding. The front wall
should be five or six feet between the
studs and rear wall SIX feet to provide
head room in the alley. The roof may
be shingled or covered with any of the
best grades of asphalt felt roofing. The
floor may be of earth or earth raised
several inches above the surrounding
surface. The cost of house of this
kind will vary from Sl.5O to SO per run
ming foot. depending upon manner Of
construction, cost of material and la
Dor. Twenty hens or pullets are enough
for each pen.

CAPITAL FOR POULTRY.
Some Reasons Why Beginners should
Start in a Small Way and Build
Up Gradually.

When one has had no experience he
should begin with the lowest expense
and at the least risk. If the capital is
small it is better to rent for a year or
two rather than to buy, for the reason
that if one buys he reduces his work.
ing capital, and should he be unsuccess-
ful he must stay on the'farm until he
can sell it. If he rents he can return the
farm to the owner and leave. 1t is
claimed, however, that if one buys he
can begin and get everything ready for
a permanent stay, which is true. but
that is just what an inexperienced per-
son should not do. He should start in
a small way and make his capital by in
creasing his flocks every year, and by
the time he has large number of fowls
he will know much more than when he
began. He can then take his fowls to
purchased farm and feel that he has
made good beginning. That is one
point in favor of poultry-the making
of capital. No one should expect too
much for the first two years. Allow five
years, begin with but little capital. let
the fowls increase. and in five years one
may not have made much money for his
pocket, but if he will figure up what he
has done he will find that he is consider
ably richer, and has saved his capital
instead of taking the risk of losing it all
at once. Nothing on a farm pays as
much as poultry, If rightly managed, but
there is no quicker way to lose money
with poultry if one does not know what
he is doing.-Rural World

Mephistopheles effect is very striking;
indeed, the whole costume is worthy of
note.
Anyone who possesses real jet should
make use of it, l have seen many Jet
boleros. very often mounted on a foun-
dation of black Chantilly, and sometimes
on heavy cream guipure.
There is always revival of black
and white frccks at this time of year
for the Riviera season, while, with
view to the approach of Lent, the all
black frock, and the usual variety of
grays and mauves will shortly make
their appearance.
For evening wear it appears to me
that the majority of bright colors, with
The exception of that exquisite rose Gu
Barry, are giving place to more sombre
tones.
THE blush slate gray which we Paris
ians often affect is not very becoming,
though it is sometimes smart, especially
when relieved with black
Cloths bearing large black velvet
macarons are still used, while many of
the blouse bodices are cut with little
tabs forming very short basque The
sleeveless bolero finds favor on many
occasions, and there is a furore for the
accordion-plaited blouse.
Among the dainty accessories of the
toilette we give foremost place to
hand embroidered muslin cravats and
to the real lace jabot. 1t is difficulty to
get really chic neckgear. but the cravat
and the jabot, when of the best, are
quite delightful.
THE Riviera millinery sees revival
of dull gold, and our modistes are pro-
ducing, in lovely colorings, the pointed
toque which is worn tilted back on to
the couture 1t is small and narrow at
the sides and only suited to few faces,
though it will probably find favor among
many elegantes.
''Silver tissue, too, made up into flow
ers, leaves and sprays will appear in
company with tucked white chiffon, vio-
let's, mimosa and other spring flowers.
l do not venture to say that this mixture
is becoming, for silver and gold mixed
with white are apt to look chilly in a
March wind.
There is decided liking for the
elongated, pointed toque Ito wess with
cloth tailor-made costumes), trimmed
only with woven braids. In spite of
this, the flat, round shape is by no means
at discount, so the mondaine will have
the choice of two entirely different
shapes-the all-round and the much
pointed.
These fiat shapes appear in dark
blue, dark myrtle green, and all the new
shades of pearl gray, the only permits
sible trimming being bows of ribbon, or
braid and velvet ribbon, mixed in har-
monious tones.

Moore is not guide, but woodsman, a

imparting the mysteries of woodcraft
