innocence.
"And, Georgiana, said the Prin-

for her to speak, 81 wish you would

been empty ever SO long"
For the first time Georgiana flushed
She had been pale before, being one
of those people who turn white when
they are hot instead of red. But she
filled the glass, and brought the eggs
and the pancakes and the toast-she
was an admirable waitress-and when

the little back sewing room at Madam
Morelli's, where she had stitched and
suffered all through July, SO that she

On the way she passed Miss Du-

Simple Jersey Petticoats.

Jersey petticoats are much worn,
and too much cannot be said in
praise of them, for they are simply
constructed, delightfully."- practical,
and the bulkiness usually character
istic of other garments of this order
entirely is done away with. Slipping
over the head, the lightweight jersey
top stretches SO as to let the skirt
pass over the shoulders easily, and
as the waistband is of elastic, it at
once springs back into proportions
necessary to render perfect fit.
There are no hooks and eyes or fas-
Jennings of any sort, and as there is
no placket there need be no worry
over the skirt gaping. Some models
have taffeta founce with rufie or
plated trimmings, which give ample
fullness at the hem. This style is
five dollars Others with f1ounces of
rustling taffeta are three dollars and
make most useful travelling skirts.
Both the slender figure and that in
clined to embonpoint are improved
wonderfully by this skirt, for it not
only gives the dressmaker a wrinkle
less surface to build on, but seems to
reduce the size of the waist and hips
of the large woman and give added
symmetry to her slender sister.

UTILIZING THE BONES.
Surprising That This Valuable Food
Material Is Allowed to Waste.

1t is a surprise to me that the bones
produced on the farm and coming
from the table of the farmer are not
more generally utilized in the feeding
OF poultry, says writer in Farmers
Review. / bought good bone cutter
several years ago and found that it
worked to perfection. l had heard
about it being hard work to cut or
grind bones, but l think that must be
the case only with the old machines
that are now out of date. Ways have
been found of making the work easy,
the newer machines being so adjusted
that the power required is compara-
lively small.
| found that l had at hand big
supply of all kinds of bones. From
the butcher shop / got fresh bones
with the meat hanging to them When
the bones were ground they presented
an appearance of being largely ground
meat. The fowls ate them with avid
ity and. they certainly had stimu-
lating effect
l was able to utilize all the bones
that came from our own dining table,
and that was a large amount. These
bones had always been thrown away
before that The bones contain not
only lime, but they also contain some
phosphorus and some nitrogen. They
are good food for fowls, whose giz-
yards are made for the utilizing OF
such materials.
OF course the droppings of the hens
so fed are richer than are the drop
pings of hens that have no ground
bone. The difference is largely in the
amount of phosphorus. wonder that
more farmers do not have machines
for preparing bones for fowls.

BEST KIND OF HIVE.
Do Not Use the Box Hive Because 1t
Is Hard to Get At.

Box hives, says Farm and Home,
are not advised Even though you
now think you will never open a
hive, you may change your mind, and
then it will be better to have had
movable-frame hives from the start.
Your bees may fall into the hands o.
someone who will great prefer the
movable frames A colony in box
hive may be queenless; you are help
less; the colony is doomed. With
movable frames you can easily deter
mine the condition of the colony and
supply a queen, if lacking.
There is no longer any patent on
the movable frame and good work
may be done with any one of the diff
ferent forms. The idea that if you
adopt certain make of hive you will
get an extra amount of honey is all
fol-derol. Hives don't gather and
store honey; bees do that. One of the
simplest as we'll as one of the best is
the dovetailed hive, so called because
it's corners are locked together for
greater strength. 1t is the most pop

PROFITS ON FARM POULTRY.
The Only Flock That Doesn't Pay 10
the One That Is Neglected.

We have never had accurate returns
as to the value of farm fowls in the
United States, and we never will have
them. The census takers get the re-
turns for certain period, but outside
of that tell us nothing. Thus the re-
turns are for the number of fowls on
the farms on a certain day, say the
S0th of June. But after that day and
before the same time next year mill
lions of chicks are Matched, kept till
they are some months old, and sold.
Millions and millions are thus never
accounted for.
In addition the farmers themselves
use tens of millions of fowls annually
on their own tables. OF these there
is no account and the census takers
simply guess when they try to take
account Of them. The published
guesses every year are doubtless far
short of the truth. But what differ
ence does it make! The matter is
one that concerns the individual farm
er and his local market, if he has
fowls to sell; for it is certain that the
local market is the one of most impor-
ance in the business of selling poultry
products.
The matter of profits in farm poul-
try concern the farmers table most.
He is not realizing his profits from
his poultry so much in dollars and
cents as in the good food that he uses
every day. He does not realize how
much he would be missing if he had
to get along without those material
profits.
Most farmers keep no poultry ac-
counts and are therefore little able to
tell what their profits are. Where
they do keep them they are quite un-
able to figure out the ultimate results;
for the reason that the cash accounts
only concern stock bought and sold
and do not figure in the products used
or the fertility coming from the poul-
try house.
The profits from fowls on the farm
vary greatly, according to the care put
upon them. The fowls that are left
to shift for themselves pay fair
profit, and against that there is little
offset in the way of expense or care.
The fowls that pay big profit some
time do that as the result of much
care and attention given them on the
farm. OF course it is fair for man
to reckon up all his own time spent in
caring for fowls. If this is charged it
reduces the profits. However, there
is profit in any case. About the only
farm flock that does not pay profit
is the farm flock that is neglected.

VENTILATION FOR HIVE.
The Advantage of More Than One En-.
trance to Hive.

DR.. Miller says, in referring to the
advantage of having more than one
entrance to a hive during the height
Of the honey-fow: "You can not make
me believe it is not easier for the bees
TO have one hole for the air to go out
and another for it to come in than to
make the air go both ways in the
same hole" This Is something for the
practical bee-keeper Of to-day to think
over very carefully, says Gleanings in
Bee Culture. Too much ventilation
sometimes certainly is bad, but is
there not somewhere a golden mean
by which we can relieve the bees of a
great load of work? Or, to put it an
other way is it necessary to keep a
large force of workers at home fam
ming during the heat of the day if we
can by some mechanical means reduce
the temperature of the hive, allowing
this force to go to the fields? This
question will hinge somewhat on
whether comb or extracted honey is
produced

ular among men who produce honey
by the ton, as well as among amatuers
who keep one or two colonies for the
pleasure of it. Each comb is in a
wooden frame, and one or all the
combs can be lifted out of the hive
and returned at will, and this is true
of all movable-frame hives. The
frame used in the dovetailed hive
is called the Langstroth frame and is
IT'S inches long and 91s inches deep,
outside measure.
For the production of extracted
honey, ten-frame hive is best. For
comb honey it is also best, except for
ton to their bees. Such persons may
do as well or better with an eight
frame hive, but for those who have
only few colonies and do not expect
to spend much time with them, hive
SO small as one having only eight
frames is not to be thought Of Too
much danger that the bees will be
scarce of stores and starve in winter
or spring.
Another reason why the larger hive
is better forsfthe average farmer is
that bees are not so much given to
swarming where they are in large
hives. However DESTROYS you may be
now to have your colonies swarm so
as to increase the number of colonies,
you may rest assured that the time
will come when you will be still more
anxious that your bees shall not
swarm Every swarm that issues
means just so much cutting down of
the honey crop for the current year.

Buff Plymouth Rocks. The two latter
are new strains that have been but
recently produced. The most popular
IS still the Barred Plymouth Rocks,
which has been bred by the farmers
since the frst appearance of the breed.
The Barred Plymouth Rock bids fair
to hold its own against all new sub
varieties that may appear. In fact, it
would be hard to find why the White
and Buff birds are superior to the
others. It is possible that their color
pleases some.
