The domestic fowl is very prolific,
and a flock can be made to increase
rapidly If care Is given. To begin
with, 500 or 1000 hens require large
capital at the start, as the fowls must
be purchased and suitable buildings
prepared, but 1t is not difficult to Sc
cure large flocks on limited capital If
the beginning is made with a few and
the number gradually increased, as
the increase of the flock is also an in
crease of capital. A flock of hens re-
turns an income daily, thus assisting
to provide capital at the start.

Care of Farm Machinery.

Many farmers are very careless Of
their farm machinery. 1t is common
thing to see plows, harrows, culti-
vatOrs, moving machines and even
binders standing in the field for
months without any protection from
the elements. The direct loss from
such exposure is very great. 1t
amounts to more than the use In AL
most every instance.
The greatest item perhaps is in loss
of time when the machine Is required
for use next time. Farmers who are
careless enough to leave implements
in the field are almost invariably care
less about the belongings Of such i'm
plements. Furthermore, such men are
surrounded with help that pattern
after the master in this respect. There
are always shiftless characters in the
neighborhood, and they seldom hesl-
tate to appropriate any loose article
belonging to these neglected machines
and 1t is only natural that they should
neglect to return these things.
The loss from rust and decay, al
though considerable, is less than the
annoyance and time required to get
the different implements back into
condition the following season.-Farm

Poor roads are the unhappiest type
of extravaganza.
When a wagon Is worn out from use
on good road its owner usually has
money enough to buy new one.
Good roads suggest action, and mud
means sloth and laziNess.
Some of the winter resorts of the
South are advertising good roads as a
special attraction.

The saw is placed in the clamps in

Washing Silks and Ribbons.

Wash silk waists and ribbons, it should be remembered, by no means stand careless laundering.
 For white silk waists the last rins- ing water should be very slightly blued and no waists or ribbons washed In very hot water.
 Make lather of tepid water, rub ping no soap directly on the fabric. If the garment is much soiled, soak 1t first in a little borax water. After rinsing in several waters 1t should be wrapped In a soft cloth, the mois ture to be pressed, not wrung.
 It can be ironed at once, while still wet, but a piece of thin muslin must be put between the iron and the silk. so long as bit of moisture remains in 1t; otherwise the iron will streak the fabric In a way that Is difficult to remove.
 When the silk is quite dry and fairly smooth, 1t may be finally ironed over lightly without the in tervening muslin. If a little firm ness and gloss are liked in the silk, a teaspoopful of prepared glue to a quart of water may be added to the last r1nsing water

FASHION DICTATES.

Among the pretty materials for blouses Is French voile. If trimmed with heavy Irish crochet there is in- deed a beautiful thing.
 Other popular materials are black voile, handkerchief linen, batiste and chiffon.
 A striking French belt Is of gray silk elastic, marked oddly with lav- ender and plum shades. It has cut steel buckle and Is very wide-say seven inches. There are others of this pattern in black, covered pro fusely with jet beads. Again, gray, with cut-steel beads.
 For afternoon suits broadcloths are almost the only fabrics of great importance. For street suits worsteds, serges, cheviots, and mix lures, with occasional somber plaids are used.
 Kid gloves are worn to match the costume. The newest colors shown are claret, navy, dregs of wine, green, plum and the bright red shades.
 Devotees of style, when they can afford 1t, have slippers and hosiery to match every gown.

THE QUALITIES OF A HUSBAND.
Studied at Their Best in the Habits
 of the Father.

More than once I have been on the verge of matrimony until I met the mans father. It's like father, like son." said an intelligent young woman. "and If a girl only uses her observing powers she will know five minutes after she meets the father whether she wants to marry the son or not
 If the father be an old codger she may be sure that the tendency to bore people which she has noticed In the son will develop later into all the characteristics of an old codger. If the father be a shiftless sort she may understand how that happy-go- lucky nature of her lover is going to develop. The spasmodic selflshness of the son she may see developed In the older man as a settled inconsid- erateness and boorishness. If the head of the family browbeat his wife and will not let her have a mind of her own she may shudder to think how the son will laugh and jeer at her opinions.
 1 Ouc ASllO" "hO dp- pealed to me as just the right sort in every way, except that he was very economical. I deceived myself into thinking that 1t was only very worthy trait of saving until I met the father and heard him grumble because his wife did not make her hats instead of buying them. Then that little trait of economy in the son stood boldly out as the begin ming of a hateful parsimony which would come later. And my dear, you know a stingy man is one of the most abhorrent things on earth. Then there was a man whose most predominating characteristic was extreme care in his dress. and his immaculate appearance quite won my heart. But when I discovered that his father was the worst sort of an old betty and turned the house upside down if any of his precious belongings was in the slightest dis order. I renounced the son. If the father neglects his wife she may be certain that the carelessness with which the son breaks engagements with her is not because he Is young, but because this trait of negligence Is inherent in him.
 "On the other hand, if she find the father thoughtful and consider ate a girl may assure herself that the same traits in the son are not called forth by a desire to please her and gain her favor, but will last always. The sunny-natured fellow whose father Is a cheerful, helpful phil osopher, is a treasure, and the girl makes no mistake when she takes him quickly.-New York World.

The Well Groomed Woman.

Never fails to lift her skirt in the back when she Is going down steps, because this insures her skirts from becoming bedraggled.
 She never wears soiled evening or soft kid dressy gloves with her tail- ored walking suit, but heavy, one clasp kid gloves.
 She never slips any sort of gloves on, without first making sure that her hands are clean. Once a soiled hand enters a glove, the latter will always be grtmy.
 She never leaves the house with out studying the hang of her skirts in a mirror. Nothing betrays nasty and careless dressing more surely than the hang of a skirt.
 She never wears an automobile veil except when she Is motoring For the street with her tailored suit she wears a close face veil of fine mesh, with small dots or none at all
 She wears a ruching instead of voluminous lace founce in. her three-quarter or elbow jacket sleeves.

ECONOMICAL SUGGESTIONS.
Resulting in 6 Saving of Time and
 Temper

Pipes frozen under the boxed In sink may be thawed by placing a lighted kerosene lamp In the cup board and leaving 1t closed in there for a few hours. It saves the untidi- ness of burned paper and precludes the possibility of melting lead pipes which applications of heat directly to the pipe may occasion.
 Braid binding for a skirt should be shrunk before 1t Is applied; that it is best to sew it on by hand and that the lower edge should be furled slightly to harmonize with the flare of the skirt.
 The odors arising from the cook ing of fish, onions, cabbage, etc, may be destroyed by hanging punches of cotton twine on the kitchen faucets and door knobs and lighting each end. The smoldering of the twine seems to absorb and prevent the spread of the odor.
 The legs of old cotton stockings make excellent protectors to the tidy wrappers or shirt waist when doing up the morning dishes.
 Discolored lamp burners If wrap ped in onion peelings and boiled with a teaspoonful of kerosene In the water will come out shining like new.
 Rats, so pernicious at the begin ming of cold weather, may be chased away if the holes are rubbed freely with pine tar. Get small tin at the hardware store and daub every hole in sight with this mixture.
 Bnsters in the ceiling paper oc- casioned by accident or leaks, may be avoided if a slight puncture Is made in the paper as soon as the moisture appears. The water r-tl drip from this outlet and not spread. Relieved of excessive moisture the paper will dry nicely when the water ceases to flow and show no traces of the disaster.
