HATS TO BE EXTREME
IN SIZE THIS WINTER

Hats are certainly determined to
know no middle ground this year.
Either they are extremely large or
they are little mats. For wedding
occasions and for other extremely full
dress events the tiny hat is worn. But
it Is seldom becoming and Is laid
aside for the more picturesque big hat.
Picturesque is actually demanded Of
every woman, and the milliner of to-
day seats her customer before a mir
r1r and works upon her hat until it is
perfect There is nc such thing AS a
ready-made nat these days. All hats
are slightly altered until they suit the
particular requirements of those who
are going to wear them.
The round hats, with high. square
crowns, are to be the hats Of winter.
if one can judge by the Paris advices; !;
yet somehow, these hats are not quite
as popular this side of the water as
In Paris and London. The American
fancy runs towards the softer effects.
Yet 1t can not be denied that the tall,
square crowns are smart.

At an inn in which a cat and pig

Those who were not wounded by the

The cage containing the animals

Washington, Sept. 21.-Because 1t
is believed that foreign governments
are learning entirely too much re-

change will be made this year In

its official paper have done more for
american farming than anv other
Rctors that have been present for
many years. Some of our admiring
friends even give them credit for
warding off a panic which was sched-

1T is probable that the money real
lied by the pro- uce rs for the farm
crops this year will aggregate a
greater sum than for any other sea-

what Up-To-Date Farming has been
contsnding for? Is there any other
paper in the country that has made
<nt particular effort to improve your
Eprices2 Are there not many that
hooted at the idea2 Or, don't you
believe farmers have had any in
fiuence on pricesH DO you think
they just happened, like "Topsy" ?
If so, what does 1t mean that farmers
are stacking their grain, building
granaries and holding their crops off
the marketH What does it mean
that the elevators and warehouses are
groaning, not from fullness, but from
emptiness2 Why don't the farmers
dump their grain now like they did
only two years ago and before, and
let the other fellows hold it2 We ask
you these questions and will let you
answer them, because there can be
only one answer, and we know you

display their aggressive power by

wood that chance to lie In their path.
BY Interviewing, they form III sod

the stems are broken off or cut in

from any Joint it may have. and be-
comes a distinct plant. A large amount
of nourishment is stored up in the

robacco DESTROYS Insect Life.

The use of tobacco as protection
against moths and other Insects is well
known, but new adaptation is reported
in the form Of an extract, which is said
to be fatal to various forms of insect
life. The extract is prepared from to-
bacco waste, and is of about 40 per cent
solidity and has nine per cent. strength
OF nicotine. Diluted according to its
proposed use, ii promptly exterminates
the bugs. but Is absolutely harmless to
plant life. The solution-from one to
three per cent. being sufficient for all or
dinary purposes-is sprinkled or
sprayed in the usual manner, and is
winning popularity. Among the insects
on which experiments have been made
with encouraging results are plant lice
plant wasps, earth fleas, caterpillars and
beetles. The extract is also used with
success for animal parasites such as
sheep lice.-Rural World.

INCREASING HONEY YIELD.
Simple Plan That Seems to Be Worth
Trying, Because It Has Given
Good Results.

The new way Of putting in sections
for comb honey does not suit the bees
very well; seems to handicap their
work. I had been very much disap-
pointed In the yield of honey from
some strong swarms. At the end Of
what I thought a good season found
my supers only half filed; maybe a
dozen sections more or less filed Now
l have nothing to say against the neat
ness or attractiveness of the new
package, but 1t reduced the capacity Of
the bees, and in relating my expert
ence to several friends they. too, had
the same experience. Running for ex-
tracted honey was satisfactory as to
yield. but to get better results in comb
honey production, I decided to resort
to some other plan. BY accident, I
found that very rapid filling was done
in the upper story of a Langstroth
hive where the caps had been left out
In this the bees stored honey in the
promiscuous fashion that they thought
best. Well. that wasn't SO nice a way,
but they made up for it in extra
pounds. That suggested a plan of op-
Grafton, and the other caps were re-
moved and box was made very much
like this and set on the old box stand.
The capacity was increased to an 49,
inch square box. nine inches deep,
which box was inserted over plat
form of about that size that was pre-
viously fastened on top of the box
stand. This gave the bees ample room
and they stored away great loads of
honey. These boxes were left on un-
til cold weather, when they were re-
moved, not a bee being in sight; con-
sequently there was no tusse between
myself and the bees. These large caps
were commodous and plain so that the
workers could store honey in a manner
that would expedite matters instead Of
hindering them as was the case with
the sections. One great mistake Is in
not giving ample room. Work must
stop when all the available space Is
utilized. Try this plan for home use.

When Chickens Cannot Walk

A subscriber asks what is the trouble
with chicken that has lost the use of
its legs and cannot walk. She says IL is
as fat as can be and seems to sleep all the
time unless when trying to eat. Many
things may be responsible for the trou-
BILE, among them being an injury or over
feeding of fattening food. Confinement
on damp ground may also cause rheu-
matism, which will deprive them of the
use of their limbs. Chicks require exer-
else, and unless they follow the hen and
scratch for bugs and worms they are
likely to become too fat and often break
down. Be careful to see that the chicks
learn early In life to hustle, for the habit
once formed will be followed through
life. The busy chick and the busy hen
are the profitable kinds. and we might
add are the only kinds that ever pay
their way.-Home and Farm

bottom. This forms a double floor
with air space between, which prevents
overheating and danger from fire.
The back Of roof and fiat top board
a, are now put on, using the boards re-
moved from top of box. The top board
should project little over back and
front, as 1t helps to shed rain. With
tonged, d. and grooved strips, c, two
or three inches wide, make frame or
sash large enough to fill the front.
Fasten this sash to tops with strips Of
leather and let it rest on the front Of
box. Make an opening, d, in the front
for the chicks to run through. Give
the outside a good coat of paint and
make several small holes in each end
Of brooder near the roof for ventilation,
and the brooder proper is complete.
The brooder may be raised from the
floor either by light horses or by a box
or frame without tops and bottom.
Place this SO that the brooder rests
upon the cleats on the edge in contact
with the support. II the box is used
and 1t Is best, make a door. e, in one
end large enough to admit a. fiat tin
lamp with tin chimney, or regular
brooder stove. Provide holes for ven
tilation as in the top. Cover the floor
of brooder with dry, sifted earth or hay
seed, about one inch thick. Light the
lamp and as soon as the thermometer
registers 80 degrees it is ready for the
chicks. After few days the chicks
will need more room, and run, +, can
be attached to front Of brooder.-
