POULTRY
Best Rule Is Common Sense-olve
Fowls Food That ls Nourishing.

The best rule for feeding poultry Ii
common sense; the health and useful
ness of fowls does not depend on for
lowing rules SO much as on getting
an adequate supply of palatable food.
Changing the food several times daily
ID no better than making the same
changes as often each week. This
may be seen from the rules prac
ttced by successful poultrymen, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. Notice the
following: s
Mash of bran and middlings, bran
and corn meal, bran only, various
grains ground together. These va,
rious mashes fed morning, noon OF
night, In amounts varying from q
spoonful to a crop full. Some poultry
men give no mash at all. Again some
keep beef scraps before the fowls at
all times, others give an ounce every
second day. Some give as much green
bone each day as the hens will eat;
others half an ounce on alternate
days. Some mix grit. charcoal and cut
clover with the mash, others feed
them separately. It's up to you; but
your neighbor may have equal success
by an opposite practice. Principle Ia
above rule.

The woman of social aspirations is
Just beginning to appreciate the vast
Importance of the negligee. 1t takes
the place of the house dress on many
occasions, and absolutely usurps the
privileges of the breakfast robe and
the lounging gown. If properly made
1t will do for almost every occasion
until the dinner hour.
The tea gown is another garment
which must not be forgotten in the list
OF house dresses. But it has rather
outgrown its first meaning and has be-
come so very elaborate that it can be
worn for late afternoon. A woma
can appear in it and receive her call
ers in the daytime up to the dinner
hour, such is the elegance of the new
tea gown.
1t is no unusual thing to see the
lawn and muslin negligees worn over
slips Of taffeta, of satin and even of
chiffon velvet, in which case the lin
ing is really finer than the gown.
One of the beautiful tea gowns of
the season was made of very fine or
candle in a tone of delicate pink. The
Organdie was trimmed with lace which
was very creamy In tone. This was
worn over a princess slip of chiffon
velvet, which was in a shade of palest
heliotrope. The combination of colors
was exceedingly good and, by electric
light, it takes on a certain simmer
which Is most attractive.
The matinee is a more informal
garment than the tea gown, and, in
fact. is suitable only for morning, as
its name suggests. It is made of a
variety of acknowledgement muslin,
embroidered muslin, lace-trimmed
muslin-in plain colors or In figured.
The smartest are made with a skirt ON
