ROSES ON ALL WINTER HATS.
Of Every Color and Hue, and the
Larger the Better.

Roses Of every color and hue, big as
cabbages, are smart on winter hats. 1t
is the color that takes. Of course a
luXuriant big rose, though of satin and
silk and in the shades of pink never to
be seen on real flower, helps to en-
liven the feelings. A rose hat makes
one feel positively young, and young
faces more than ever like flowers
themselves.
The ribbon roses which adorn a
dressy hat just from Paris are made
of many shades Of pink satin ribbon in
one instance, and in another of curious
shades of dead white and greeny white
to look like bride rose.
1t may seem folly to pay four dollars
for a single artificial rose, yet that is
what fashion is doing, and the ribbon
roses cost as much if not more.
The keynote of the year is simple
elegance" said the milliner as she
carefully extricated a large hat to fit
on my head for the reception. Simple
elegance"
Truly it looked so. 1t was a turban,
rather large, and over the maline
finished frame was folded a point lace
scarf with little ermine and sable
tails rounding the crown. A narrow
twist of vieux bleu supple ribbon gave
the color nOte-that was all. Other tur-
bans-the coming hats-were as SUI

without any depression back Of the
shoulders or at the loin, a deep body
of good length and deep, well
rounded ham. From front and rear
the side lines of the body should be
straight and parallel, and this will be
true if the development of shoulder,
spring of rib and ham are uniform.

ten indifferently. Those possessing
harsh hair and skin and showing wrin,
kles will produce inferior pork.
Breeding hogs should have short
strong legs and strong, upright pas
terms.
Lack of sufficient bone, as shown
by weak, broken down pasterns, is a
common defect noticeable in brood
sOws, especially those that have been
fed largely on corn. In fact feed has
much to do with development and
strength of bone. A low, weak back
indicates weakness. and no young SOW
showing such a defect should be saved
for breeding. These two defects
weak pasterns and backs-may be
readily noticed when the pig is moved
and often when standing. Other com
mon faults are coarse shoulders open
on top, poorly sprung, short ribs and
narrow loin.
None but pure bred boars Of good
form should be used. and only those
possessing early maturing qualities.
By selecting vigorous. well formed
sows Of prolific families and pure
bred, early maturing boars of good
quality, the best combination is Sc
cured This combination of good
qualities may be secured in one breed
but more often hog raisers attempt to
secure them by selecting sows of one
breed and bOars of another There is
nothing radically wrong with this plan
If market stock is the object, still
equally good or better results can be
obtained by sticking to one breed and
making a careful selection of all
breeding stock.

SELECTION OF
BREEDING HOGS

Taken as a whole there is no
marked difference between the early
maturing qualities of the Poland
China. DurOc Jersey, Chester White
or Berkshire breeds of hogs. Neither
has it been proven that one has any
marked superiority over the other as
to the rate at which flesh may be laid
on or the cheapness of gains. The
charat tCriSticS of these breeds are
well marked, and there are special
points of excellence that one breed
may rOssess to q greater degree than
the others; still considering the fac
tors which determine almost entirely
the Profit or loss in hog raising, name
ly, feCunGity, rate and chearness of
gains, a more marked difference will
be found between individuals of the
same breed than between any of the
above breeds taken collectively. 1t is
there fore necessary whether breeding
pure-bred hogs or grades to consider
the individual carefully when select
ing breeding animals.
The fecundity of sows always ap-
peals to hog raisers. The size of lit
tiers varies with breeds to some ex-
tent, but still more with individuals
Statistics compiled by the Indiana ex-
pertinent station show that the aver
age size of several hundred Poland
China, Berkshire and Chester White
filters were: Poland China, 6.5 pigs
to the litter; Berkshire, seven pigs to
the litter, and Chester White, rs pigs
to the litter. However, filters of these
breeds will vary from three or four
to ten or more pigs to the litter. Con-
finement and overwhelming tend to re-
duce fecundity. Again, sows that are
sluggish or overrefined in type are
usually Indifferent breeders. So far
as known the SOW controls the size of
filters, and since fecundity is largely
an individual or family characteristic
1t is good policy to select brood sows
only from filters of which at least
seven pigs have been successfully
raised.
In selecting breeding hogs, either
male or female, the following points
should receive consideration: Form,
size for age, quality, and feet and legs.
To thoroughly inspect a hog, it is
! necessary to view it from the side,
front and rear, both standing and in
motion. From the side the hog should

Fancy MuHS-

Fancy muffs will be fad of the
season, and in them there is a chance
for employing all the cleverness in
design and needlework that a woman
possesses. In a muff brocade and
feathers may be most charmingly
combined, and a neckpiece to match
may be evolved. Black velvet with
black ostrich tips can be worked to-
gether with astonishingly artistic re-
suits, while artificial flowers, either
as substitute Or in combination, are
lovely.

wide alley makes it easy TO give each
calf its milk and other feeds.
5. The calf pen should be made so
that it can be divided into several
apartments. A calf when but two or
three weeks old, when turned into a
pen with others two or three months
old, is more or less handicapped, espe-
cially if the younger calf is not strong
and rugged. A pen with several divi-
sions permits the grouping of calves
according to size and strength.

Chamber of Commerce and Tea Grow
ers Unite in Extending Hearty
Reception to American
Fighters

COLOMBO, Ceylon, Dec. 1S.-The
chamber of commerce and the Plant
ers' association tonight gave a ban
quet in honor of the officers of the
United States Atlantic battleship fleet.
Sir Henry Edward McCallum, gov
ernor of Ceylon, in a speech said it had
been the good fortune of Ceylon to
accord a warm welcome to the fleet,
and that it's presence would be tnstru-
mental in the continuance of peace.
The prosperity of Australia, Hong
Kong and the Straits settlement was
due, he said, to the crown colony gov
ernment, and America would have had
adopted the system in the Philippines
had it's constitution permitted. CoY-
ernor McCallum praised the exemplary
behavior of the American crews ashore.
The chairman of the chamber of COM
merce said President RoQseVelt doubt
less had many objects in view when
he ordered the battleship fleet around
the world, and he trusted that the most
lasting of these would prove to be the
consolidation of friendlineSS between
nations.
Rear Admiral Sperry said that in
travelling in the kings domains he had
been impressed mostly by the solidar-
ity of the commercial political and eco
nomic situation. There was no position
possible for the United States in a war
where Great Britain was involved, the
admiral declared, except that of benev-
olent neutrality.
In the presentation of $4,000 pounds
of tea to the officers and men Of the
fleet, the chairman of the Planters
association expressed his profound ad-
miration for the unparalleled achieve
ment Of marshaling the American fleet
in a stately procession from sea to sea-
The Ceylon planters, de declared, in
priding themselves on their independ-
ence, acknowledged that their prosper
ity was attributable to free institutions.
They especially sympathized with the
American nation and appreciated the
absence from its tariff of a duty on tea,
and also the new pure food law, which
was aiding the consumption of Ceylon
tea. The admiration, sympathy and
gratitude, the speaker said in conclu-
sion, prompted the gift of the tea.
Rear Admiral Sperry, in replying,
said that unity of interest and ideas
was a far stronger bond of peace than
any treaty. The development of Great
Britain's colonies meant a stronger
bond in the union of trade between the
United States and Great Britain. He
added that the security of American
influence in the Ceylon trade was due
to the vigorous work of President
Roosevelt for good legislation.

MAY PASS LAW TO PREVENT
BANKERS LOSSES ON OPIUM

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-A success
full effort has been made seemingly to
prevent large losses to bankers who
have loaned money on opium in ware
houses in San Francisco and other ports
where opium has been imported through
the enactment of the bill recommended
by the secretary of state to prohibit
the importation of opium into this
country.
When the bill came up before the
house committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, Representative Know
land of California protested against its
becoming effective upon its passage,
as was provided in the original draft.
The reasons he presented were suf-
ficient to have the committee refer the
bill 10 subcommittee today for
amendment, so that it will become eff
fective six months after passage.
The reference of the bill to sub
committee will prevent its being re-
ported to the house until after the four
teen members of the committee, who
will go to Panama on a trip of in
spection, return, January 13.
