Empire Skirt.

The new Empire skirt illustrated
is one of the prettiest and most grace
full of the season 1t hangs in long,
sweeping lines, 1t retains the normal
waist line at the front while it short
ems it bit in the back after the man
ner of the period, and is peculiarly
well adapted to all the soft materials
of fashion, even cloth being made so
pliable this year that it can be made
full with perfect success. This one
is shown in white marquisette with
embroidery executed on the material
as a trimming, but while such trim
ming is exceedingly beautiful there
are innumerable appliques which are
most effective and an infinite variety
of ways in which the skirt can be
finished Indeed, the simple stitched
hem often is sufficient, while the list
of landings and trimmings to be pur-
chased by the yard is very nearly linn
itless. There is smoothly fitted
girdle, over which the fulness is ar
ranged, and which serves to make the
wearer comfortable as we'll as to keep
the skirt perfectly in place, and
which is concealed by the outer one
of soft silk.
The skirt is cut in seven cores and
the foundation glrdle in eight Sec
tons, while the draped girdle is in
one piece. When the Empire line is
not found becoming, however, the
skirt can be cut off at the waist line
and finished with a straight belt,
while also it is perforated for walk
ing length, so that it becomes a very

casions as well as a great many ma
terials.

ing, care being taken to see it does
not become dry and burn, adding

dissolved in water, also five pounds
Spanish whiting and two ounces of
carbolic acid 1t is advisable not to
apply whitewash too thick, as it viii
look better, is easier to apply and
less liable to- peel or crack off. Some
recommend applying whitewash while
hot, but this is rather more bother
than most people care for, and with
the carbolic acid present the heat is
hardly necessary.

also thoroughly beats and stirs them
up, so that the seeds or other unde-
sirable portion is thoroughly separated
from that which is to be retained.
To make the operation doubly easy
the colander portion is attached to a
bracket, the latter being clamped to
the table. The colander is in two sec
tipns, the lower portion containing
the perforations, and the upper por-
ton serving as cover to prevent the
contents from splashing out on the
table when the beaten is operated.
Revolving in the lower portion of the
colander is the beaten, composed of
circular bands. These bands are OPP
Grated by a handle at the side. In
straining preserves, for instance, they
are placed in the colander, the cover
closed and the handle operated, a
long dish being placed on the table
to catch the strained liquid A half
minutes turning suffices to thorough
ly beat and strain the contents.

If eggs for Matching are desired,
use two-year-o1d hens.
GRADUATED is the form in which to
supply bone to poultry.
To make poultry business a success
it must have attention.
1t is essential that the poultry
house should be well ventilated.
Bone meal contains lime and also
animal matter which is of value.
All perches should be on the same
level, none higher than the others.
Some green food is Indispensable
to ducks after they are two weeks old
Whole wheat is an excellent food
for hens, but should not be used ex-
clusively.
The use of food is to sustain, life
and maintain warmth and good con-
dition of body.
Hens like a variety of food and it
is an item to give them as much ~
this line as possible.
For ducklings try cornmeal and
bran, equal parts, and make it into
mush, with milk
If the egg shells are fed to poul-
try care should always be taken to
crush them well before feeding.
Rather the, best way to feed corn
to young chickens is to give it in a
crushed or cracked condition.
Many case of indigestion may be
traced to a heavy feed in the morn
ing, and the next meal taken from
the leavings of breakfast after being
trampled over
1t is pretty hard to give a growing
cockerel on pullet enough corn to
make it lay on fat, especially when
running out, as so much of the food
goes to the production of bone, feath-
ers and muscle.
During the spring at least it is
best to confne the young poultry to
their houses and. yards until the sun
has dried the grass, feeding them
well so that they will be reasonably
well contented.
1t is a good rule with poultry TO
feed early and late, and let them get
hungry between meals, or rather have
regular intervals between meals, as
the practice of keeping food by them
all the time promotes an excess of
fat.

METHODS OF SELECTION.

In the fat stock shows, and also in
the large yards, experts can quickly
select the best animals for the but
cher, and, according to the ability Of
the Judge he should be assisted to
select an animal by the sense of feel
ing, and, in judging cattle, the touch,
as well as the eye, is, therefore,
brought into requisition. Except in re-
gard to certain points of conforma
ton and color, some experts are by
no means sure that touch is not
the most important qualification. The
skin and the flesh can only be fully
examined by touch or handling in as
certaining if the bones are well cover
ed with flesh, and also if the latter
is soft to the touch and ample in
quantity on the examined points. The
squeeze of the palm of the hand is
not so delicate as the touch of the
tips of the fingers; the former as
certains the quantity, the latter judges
the quality. The touch may be hard
Or mellow, thin or harsh, good Or bad,
as it is frequently termed. A slow
feeder is said to be marked by having
thick-set, hard, short hair, which
constitutes a bad touch; thin, mea-
gre, papery skin, covered with thin,
silky hair, through opposite of the
one just mentioned, does not consti-
tute a good touch, but is indicative
CT weakness of constitution, though
probably of good breeding qualities,
A good touch will be found in a thick,
Loose skin, on layer of soft fat,
yielding to the least pressure, spring
ing back toward the fingers like a
piece of soft, thick chamois leather,
and covered with thick, soft, glossy
hair which looks rich and beautiful
and seems warm and comfortable to
the animal. A curly pile of soft hair
indicates a vigorous constitution and
also propensity to fatten. The sen.
sation of fine touch is very crafty

CLEANING AND wHITEwAsHING

OL1I<AANlAN0 %AAN6 p" - - w -A~r~ -
In cleaning our poultry houses, we
believe in making a thorough job of
it. and after everything movable is
taken out, we burn the contents of
the nests, also all litter from the
earthern floors. We then remove the
earth from the floors to a depth of
about four inches; then after we are
through whitewashing we refill with
fresh earth SO that the floors in the
pens are about six inches higher than
the ground on the outside. 1t would
seem that most anybody could do a
job of withdrawing correctly, but
really it is surprising how much bet
ter the houses will look when proper
care has been taken in applying the
whitewash. All cracks should be care
fully filled and the coat spread even
ly, and if care is taken we will have
a beautiful, clean and attractive
house that is a pleasure to look at.
Our method of making whitewash

sHELTERING POULTRY.

Those who would have the healthi-
est and most profitable poultry must
see to it that the birds are properly
housed.
The first thing 80 do is to select
your location. If possible, choose a
place not too far from residence and
with gentle south slope. Excavate
so that the maximum depth at the
back part will not be more than two
or two and one-half feet. For a found
alton use ordinary hollow cement
building blocks that can easily be Sc
cured in any locality. Tile blocks will
do If you can not obtain the cement
ones. Lay this wall along the north
line so that the top is just above the
top of the ground; also lay up the
ends to the same height.
For stills use AKA or Axe and have
the uprights in the rear not over six
feet in height and in front about eight
or nine feet This will give sufficient
slope to the roof, the house being
twelve feet in width. Use medium
sized windows placed every ten feet
in the south side, so that light and
sunshine will reach every part of the
house sometime during the day
The north side of the building
should be boarded up with drop sid
ing on the outside and the same
should be used on the inside of the
uprights. Use good shiplap for roofing
and If shingles are used in prefer
ence to felt roofing first cover the
shiplap with tar paper; also line the
inside of the rafters with drop sid
ing.
In this way there will be contin-
uous air passage from front cornice
of building over roof and down the
rear wall to bottom of the cement
wall. Frost will not form on these
walls in the coolest of weather if
the house is properly aired during the
day.
1t will not be necessary to have
the front of the building of more,
than one thickness of lumber if it is
lined with tar paper. Some prefer to
lath and plaster building, and it is
about as cheap as the wood lining,
but not quite as dry.
