Fire Protection.

The following suggestion from thu
Farm Journal should be given seri-
GUS thought by all those who live In
agricultural districts:
Ladders to the number Of four or
FIVE should have q place on every
farm, either fixed on four wheels for
transporting from one building to an
other, or else permanently secured to
some handy building where they can
be found without asking where they
are. An emergency case OF fire isn't
the time to hunt up. borrow or make
ladders. Have them In plain sight.
for the darkest night"
We are sorry to say that on a
great many-probably the majority
--of farms the matter of protecting
the buildings from fire does not re-
ceiye much attention. A large finan-
cial loss can sometimes be saved by
a little preparation before hand
which win enable you to flight the
fire" in a systematic way.-New

A typical girl of 1907 stood in
side Of a drawing-room the other
day. Her hair was parted and al
lowed to ripple over her temples.
Around her head were bound two
great fiat Dutch braids so heavy that
they made a great halo around her
brow.
A great, beautiful bow of ribbon
crowned her head. The effect was
too simple and too sweet for any
thing.
The girl of 1907 will be very tall.
She may have to resort to Cuban
heels and to stretching exercises.
and she may want to pile braijs on
top of her head and to wave her hair
high She will be tall and she will
be slender.
Living skeletons were the fashion
last summer in London. They looked
healthy and they acted as II happy,
and while they were lean, yet they
we're not angular. To attain this
means art was combined with
science.
The best professional models are
now taking a double set of lessons
in massage. There are two kinds
of massage. One kind develops and
the other kind reduces. Women who
are wide awake are practising both
kinds.
1t costs a professional model some
thing to live and keep her figure
these days. She must have two sets
of massage operators. She must
have one masseuse who understands
the art of pounding away the flesh
and another one who understands
the art Of putting 1t on.
The girl of 1907 is going to be
very simple. Or she is going to
look as though she were very simple.
She must be absolutely perfect in
the art of sweet simplicity. 1t is not
a eountry-girl simplicity, but an ar
tlstic simplicity. Milwaukee News.

Young women addicted to golf are
securing young girls as caddles. So
there's another masculine occupation
changing hands.
The players say they never had
a boy attendant yet who didn't either
giggle, laugh, exclaim or crIticise
when the golfer made an OF hit.
The boys, too, were apt to run of
after stray squirrels, or else were too
busy to come at the very time their
services were most desired. Accord
ing to Good Housekeeping, those
who have tried girls find them more
respectful, more companionable and
more conscientious. Their strength
seems equal to that Of the boys.
while their manners are decidedly
more soothing. --PhiladelphiaR Record

A high record for seven days is not
always a good one. 50 far as showing

the number OF pounds OF butter she
produces in a year. and its cost. The
results for a single week may be
from excessive feeding. with extra
cost for labor. but such cows, how
ever, are usually capable Of giving
good results for a month or yeaf also.

White plymouth Rocks.

Many poultrymen who have bred
and raised both Barred and White
Plymouth Rocks claim that the latter
are superior as egg producers.
While there is some question about
this, 1t is certain that there is
market demand for fowl with whito
feathers which the White Plymouth
Rock will Nil better than any other
breed for the reason that 1t has the
size. coupled with the clean legs.

Never fasten the nests to the walls.
No poultry house can be kept clean
Of lice SO long as the nests remain
In a position that prevents their
being thoroughly cleaned. and to do
this properly they should be taken
outside OF the house. The nests are
harboring places OF lice and need
overhauIing oftener than anything
else in the poultry house. Ordinary
soap and candle boxes make the best

Animal Wants.

1t is possible to give an animal an
abundance of food and yet not supply
its wants. u Is the amount OF d.
gestible matter in foods that fixes
their value. When hogs have de.
sire for coal. charcoal. rotten wood,
etc. the indications point to a pos
sible lack Of something required.
which may be the mineral elements,
especially lime. The feeding Of wood
ashes or ground bone would no doubt
then satisfy the desires Of the AMI
mails The food should also be Inn
proved by the use of bran and ground
oats.
