FACE POWDER SHOULD BE AP-
Piled ARTIsTIcALLY.
Care and Thought Necessary in the
Performance of This Toilet Rite
Cream or Oils Must Be
Used in Removing the
Powder

Probably nine women out OF every
ten use face powder, but it cannot
be said that all of them use it artis-
tically. While there can be no objec-
tion to the judicious use of a good
powder. 1t does not enhance beauty
il applied in a manner to render
1t conspicuous.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
application of face powder is mere
matter of dabbing it on. On the
contrary, 1t is a toilet rite to be
performed with care and thought.
Leaving out the question of looks,
powdering must be carefully done for
the health of the skin. which is often
injured by the too frequent use of
cosmetics injudiciously applied.
The proper way to use a powder
is to work 1t into the skin so as to
give natural appearance. And the
woman who possesses this art is en-
Wed by her sisters.
Actresses are necessarily the great

Rules to be Observed for sucee ssfuI

In choosing the ir cubator you will

or all the necessary equipment for
poultry production. this stands jrst
In Importance. and much of your sue
cess will depend upon the intelligent
selection of batching machine.
When the machine arrives, uncrate
1t carefully. Put together the different
parts according to the directions. If
you have bought a good machine the
printed instructions FOR setting up and
starting will be ample. There are a
few common sense points. however,
which will serve to save time and
labor.
Put the incubator In a cellar or
room where there is a pretty even
temperature and good ventilation
Even the best machines will do better
work in such place than when cub
jected to sudden and severe changes.
The eggs, also will suffer less f,om
abrupt and frequent variations while
turning. Keep the lamp wicks clean
and trim as often as necessary to do
this. Trimming every DAY is unnec-
essary. With good oil, every third
day is often enough.
Do not fuss too much over the tenn
perature. 1t can vary degree or two
either way and do no harm. The eggs
may run as low as so degrees for
some hours and then hatch well. Be
ware of overheating. 1t is more un-
natural, and. hence, more harmful.
The very best advice is to do the nee
essary work expedltiously, keep the
lamp clean, the room well aired, and
forget to putter and worry.

FININsHINe MARKET POULTRY.
Some Suggestions as to Fatteninq
and Dressing.

It's the last pound put on market
poultry that generally brings the most
profit, for fat chickens always sell
for higher price per pound than
those that are half fat. There Is a
good chance for nice profit in feed
ing half fat chickens where one is
well located to market dressed poul-
try and has liking for the business.
But the farmer who sells his poultry
In this condition makes not as much
profit as he might.
The simplest and easiest method of
fattening poultry is to separate the
cockerels ard pullets and shut them

should be well sprinkled with insect

may then be put on. The best way to
apply dry powder is with buffer
or a piece of chamois, for with either
of these the powder may be worked
into the skin until it looks natural.
and no woman should be satisfied
until the cosmetic gives the tone of
real flesh.
In powdering the ears and neck
the treatment is practically the same
as far as putting on the cream. Cos
metics-none but liquids, because
they do not brush off-are rubbed
into the pores of the neck with
sponge and buffer. but must be
worked into the ears with the fingers.
Never take off powder with water
for only the surface can be cleaned
in this way, and the pores, the es-
sential part of the flesh, are left clog
ged. They must be cleansed with
cream or oils. so the quickest as well
as the most healthful treatment for
the flesh is to remove the cosmetics
by applying cold cream. After this
cleanser has been worked thorough
ly into the pores and wiped off an
other layer of some soft. nourishing
cream should be rubbed into the
pores and left during the night.
There must be no lines about the
ears OF neck that show cosmetics
have been put on the skin; instead
the powders should be so buffeted and
rubbed that they blend perfectly as
the skin naturally does.
If the eyelashes and eyebrows are
dark enough to need no paste they
should be freed from all remnants of
the powder. This may easily be
done by dampening a finger and rub
bing it across them. beginning at
the center or bridge of the nose.

Cuitinq Out.

If breeders of poultry would he
more hard-hearted when culling out
the flock they would make greater
progress in their breeding toward a
high mark. Every poor bird left in
the flock helps pull down the average
quality of the birds that are to be
produced in the future. The greatest
trouble in the culling is that many
poultry raisers do not have an ideal

Therefore they do not know Just when
