USES OF CHICKEN FEATHERS.
What Becomes of Those from Ducks
Geese and Turkeys.

What Becomes of Those from Ducks
Geese and Turkeys.
One turkey supplies more different
grades of feathers than a seasons re
ceipts of turkeys show different grades
of turkeys, and although cents a
pound covers the range of difference
in value of the toughest old tom tur-
keys and the plumpest young hen, the
feathers sell at cents a pound for
the body feathers up to 40 cents a
pound for the fine tail feathers, says
the indianapolis News.
Local poultry men sort out six to
eight grades of turkey feathers and
the buyers make even more assert
ments, the feathers being used for as
many different purposes. The small
body feathers, which are used for pill
lows and feather beds, are worth about
cents a pound for common mixed.
White feathers are worth more, ac-
cording to grade, bringing generally
about three times the price paid for
mixed feathers.
The fine tail feathers used for dust
ers are kept separate and sell for
about 40 cents a pound and the skirt"
feathers are worth nearly as much.
The wing and point feathers are
also carefully saved and sold to manu-
facturers of featherbone and other
substitutes for whalebOne, and the
larger ones find their way TO milIiners,

dyed. Some of the small feathers are
made UP into artificial bird breasts
and tails that adorn countless bonnets.
They may cause the bonnet owners
a tWinge of conscience for wearing
such a beautiful bird when, in reality,
they are wearing a bunch of cleverly
arranged chicken or turkey feathers.
Duck feathers are worth about 80
cents a pound and goose feathers
range from 60 cents pound for white
to 30 cents for mixed Dealers say
the principal reason that goose and
duck feathers are worth more than
the finest turkey and chicken feathers
is that aside from being fiuffier, there
Is an absence of odor to them that
cannot be overcome entirely in chick
en- and turkey feathers. The reason
that white chicken and turkey feath-
ers are worth more than mixed, how
ever, is that they are available for
mixing with the better grades for pill
lows.
Most of the chicken feathers go in

separate and bringing a good premium
over the mixed grades. Fine tail and
wing feathers are saved separate, sell

| Feathers shipped from this market
are packed in bales of 200 pounds or
in six-foot sacks. The tail and wing

and sometimes tied N neat bundles.
| Five chickens will give a pound of
feathers, and with indianapolis firms

this market has nearly two tons Of

ers were left loose they would fill a

A single carload of feathers shipped
to Cincinnati contained about six tons.
They cost the shipper more than $1,000.
Cincinnati and Chicago are good buy

Pretty Figures-to Obtain Them.
Society women are much enamored
of the following method of figure i'm
proyement, first initiaIed by a charm
ing actress who delights all by her
poetry and grace of motion while on
the stage. The subject must commence
by standing erect, with the hands
clenched by the sides and the feet
slightly apart. Then, employing as
much force as possible, and allowing
the motion to come solely from the
waist and hip, she must throw the
right arm and leg as far round to the
left as she possibly can, afterward re-
versing the movement.
BY practicing these motions an in
creasing number of times daily, even
the clumsiest of figures will begin to
assume 1.-THE and supple aspect,
while for the much dreaded embon-
point below the waist, the exercise will
be found an absolute preventative and
cure.
In the cult of the figure such healthy
home exercises as that already men
toned. which can he carried on in the
privacy of ones own bedroom, are
quite as valuable as gymnastics and
outdoor recreations. And it is an inter
esting fact that the sensible woman OF
to-day in quest of good figure no
longer seeks the aid of the corsetiere
with her remedy of artfully cut and
padded stays. Instead she INDUCES in
a little physical culture.
The majority of women will also find
the following exercise for strengthen
ing the waist muscles and lessening the
girth of the waist itself in natural
manner, most beneficial. Standing with
the legs quite straight. and feet about

body slowly over toward the right side,
gradually bending backward the while
until a complete rotary circular move

While practicing this exercise the
knees must be kept perfectly straight.
At first this will be rather diffiC lit to

however, bring their reward in the
