CULLING IMPORTANT.
Prof. orr, Kansas Experiment Station,
Urges Thorough Work.

Not all poultry keepers Gull their
flocks closely enough. The best re-
suits come from careful culling. Prof.
orr of the Kansas experiment station
emphasizes the matter thus:
Any chicken that is not paying for
it's food in growth or in egg produc-
tnon is a source Of loss. AS soon as
the Matching season is over old roos-
tiers shoould be sent to the market.
Market all hens two years or more
of age. Send with these all the year
ling hens that appear fat and lazy.
By the time the young pullets are
ready to be moved into quarters these
hens should be reduced to about one
half the original number. Some time
later a final culling of the old stock
should be MADE. Those that have not
yet begun to mott should be sold, as
they will not be laying again before
the warm days of the following Feb
ruary. This system of culling will
leave the best portion of the yearling
hens, which, together with the early
Matched pullets, will make profitable
flock of layers.
Many farmers practice no intelligent
culling of their chickens, but allow old
hens, together with runty pullets and
scrub cockerels, to consume the food
and occupy the room that should be
used for the workers of the flock. A
small number of the best chickens will
pay more profit than house crowded
full Of everything raised. 1t has been
repeatedly demonstrated that pullets
are more profitable than older hens,
but as yearling hens are considered
better breeders and better sitters it is
well TO keep a few of them through
their second winter.
The pullets in permanent quarters
should be well fed, and If they have
been Matched at the proper season will
begin laying during the fall months.
AS the weather turns cold and rains
set in, the pullets should be confined
to the houses and given careful treat
ment, for an outbreak of roup may
result.
Producers of pure-bred poultry
should exercise great caution in keep
ing their stock pure by not allowing
cockerels to run with their hens too
late period before eggs are used for
Matching purposes. Very little care is
taken in this line on the farm where
a farmer has more than spoiled one
pure breed of poultry.

WHERE ONE COSTUME is LIMIT.
For the Majority There Is No SubstI-
tute for the Coat and Skirt Suit.

The great mass of American girls
and women cannot make many choices
in clothes. They can afford one cos
tune. which must serve for the greater
number of hours, and rely on one ar
tistic costume or several simple ones
to wear during the other hours.
While there is a tendency to subst1-
tute the topcoat for the coat suit this
should be yielded to with care and dis
erection. The pocketbook, ones man
ner of life, the climate, should be
taken into CO. ;ideration.
For the majority of women there
should be no substitute for the coat
suit. 1t passes muster where many
other kinds of gowns fail. American
women are busy; many are wage
earners, thousands attend to the
majority of their own outdoor errands,
and lead life far removed from the
well-placed Europeans.
There are secluded women who do
not enter actively into any outdoor life
and who venture from their houses
more often for social occasions and
church than on any other errand.
These prefer the blouse suit, for 1t
serves nearly all their purposes. The
top coat gives warmth for day and
evening.
For all the others coat suit is al
most a necessity, unless one prefers a
separate rough skirt with blouses to
match. The trouble with the one
piece suit as a daily garment for the
middle of winter is that when the ma
terial is thin enough for the house
the skirt is too chilly for the street;
when the material is warm enough for
the street, the blouse is too hot for
the house.

FEEDING FOR EGGS.
Study the Flock and Avoid Overfeed.
ing as We'll as Undertaking.

With eggs at 33 cents a dozen, and
the grocer predicting 40, every poultry
breeder is anxiously asking what he
can feed to secure eggs. Il feed my
hens so and so, l keep them free from
lice, almost live with them, and don't
get an egg" complains one. Our eggs
cost us from fifty to seventy-five cents
a Dozen" says another, outlining a
method of feeding which surely should
bring results if anything could. The
trouble is few people begin early
enough to feed for eggs. Strong,
healthy hens will lay on very badly
balanced ration, sometimes with poor
housing and apparently little care.
The reason is because they are vigor-
Gus, because they are sufficiently
strong to digest and assimilate enough
food to produce eggs. A hen might
come from the very best laying strain,
she might be fed an abundance of egg
forming material, but If she has not
the ability to digest her food she will
never be valuable layer.
The best ration and the cheapest
ration is the ration which brings us
the greatest number of eggs and keeps
our hens in the best condition. Chick
ems require liberal diet in cold
weather; too often they are fed enough
to keep up the animal heat, but not
enough to produce eggs as well.
Hence perfectly healthy flock may
be flock of poor layers. Whether the
hens are not laying because they have
not the digestion to assimilate their
food and turn it into eggs, or whether
they are not laying because they have
not the surplus material for eggs, Ia a
point the owner must decide for him.
self. Well Matched, well raised hens
will always lay If they have abundance
of food and abundance of fresh air.
How they are fed is important, but
equal Importance should be attached
to how they are bred.

FOUND A RAILROAD
c. "A. r. GREEN DISCOVERED
TEXAS MIDLAND LINE.
Overlooked by Coils p. Huntingdon
and His Surveyor When He Bought
Houston G. Texas Central
Property Years Ago.

Kansas City, Mo.-Men have been
known to find gold mines and oil
wells, but E. H. r. Green, son of
Hetty Green, is the first man to find"
a railroad-a complete system, includ-
ing tracks, depots, offices and every
thing except a working force and gen.
eral manager. OF course the tracks
and roadbed were not the best in the
world; neither were the cars-what
few there were-but these were de-
tails that could be attended to.
The Texas Midland originally was
a part of the Houston & Texas Cen
trail, which was owned by Green's
grandfather and sold to Coils P.
Huntington. When the latter road be-
came part of Huntington's property
and was made to connect with the
Southern Pacific, that part of it which
is now the Texas Midland was over
looked and never really passed into
the possession of the Southern Pa
cific promoters. 1t was the mistake
of the surveyors, who evidently were
not acquainted with the country. At
any rate, the error-if overlooking
railroad could be called an error
was not discovered until II years
afterwards. Green then was living in
Chicago at the time.
He came across the original map Of
the road and compared it with new
er one and concluded that Hunting
ton had overlooked several miles of
a valuable property and that the mat
ter would be worth investigating.
Huntington never had seen the prop
erty, and really did not need it all.
All he had wanted was the part which
connected with the Southern Pacific
at Houston, furnishing him an en-
trance into Dallas. Green went to
New York to see his mother and told
her of his discovery. Her father, E.
II. r. Green's grandfather, had died
and she was the only legal heir and
any interest that might result in the
discovery of the new road naturally
would be in her favor. She offered
the road to her son on condition that
he go to Texas and manage it and
'stay out Of politics." Green went to
Texas, and much to his satisfaction,

VeIutina Gains in Favor.

Velutina promises to come into IA
vor as the cold weather advances. 1t
comes in all the new and popular
shades, and combines beautifully with
the cloths of the season. One woman
was planning a beautiful costume.
She had her gown made at home with
the assistance of a dressmaker who
sewed by the day. It was of green
messaline, dull, almost hunters
green. The frock was trimmed with
tucked chiffon Of the same shade, and
an odd twist Of black silk braid was
used on the bodice. The costume was
empire. The woman had her coat
made at the tailor's. 1t was a long,
straight, three-quarter length affair on
empire lines, entirely outlined with
the same silk braid which appeared
on the gowns bodice, and trimmed
with huge buttons. The coat was vel
ultima, in green to match the costume.
Such a costume worn with hat OF
green velvet or satin and long, black
plume would be wonderfully smart.

EGG MANAGEMENT
Ration Which One Farmer Finds Ef.
fectiVe with His Flock.

have found no better egg ration
than wheat and oats in the bundle for
forenoon and principal feed, with corn
late in the afternoon, writes a South
Dakotan, in Orange Judd Farmer. A
good, warm, well-seasoned mash of
some kind on cold mornings three or
four times week is greatly relished,
particularly If mixed with milk. The
grain should be kept in the bundle and
be fully three-fourths wheat. A little
millet is excellent fed in the straw. l
save much labor and other expense by
feeding hens, sheep and other stock
their grain in the bundle. Early cut
corn and oats fed this way to stock
give satisfactory results with me.
A steeply slanting floor in a hen
house can be kept dry and clean much
easier than a level one. Feed bundle
grain on the upper end, and straw and
anything else will be scratched to the
lower end, where there should be
small door to throw 1t out. The hens,
If good, live ones, will sometimes
scratch it out themselves. A floor 20
feet long should be at least Is inches
higher at one end than the other.
Earth, gravel or cinders make much
better floor than boards.
With these surroundings, and the
birds and feed described, with plenty
of fresh water and green food, and
little fresh meat now and then, 1t is
not a difficult thing to get both pleas
ure and profit from a large flock OF
poultry.

How 1t Is Put On.

in cellar, writes A. Tien OF Falmouth,
Mich, in Bee Culture. When I wish
to contract the entrance l use a
notched stick held in position in front
of the hive by super spring. This
is fitted between two small blocks sic
by ~ by 21s, fastened to the hive
with two screws which hold the
spring firmly. This entrance-block is
cut out on one edge % by Az, on the
other edge % by s. This is similar to
the plan of e. H. Glare, p. 235, al
though use one spring and one block
which will stay in position. Neither
wind nor chickens can remove it.
A Il entrance suits me well in sum-
mer, and for cellar wintering; and
in fall or spring 1t can be changed in
an instant without hunting for en-
trance-blockS.

Save the Wood Ashes.

Now that cold weather has come and
the winter fires have been started,
save all of the ashes and apply them
to the garden and orchard. Coal
ashes have no fertilizing value, yet
they are good material for heavy soils,
making them light and pliable. 1t is
claimed that coal ashes will prevent
potato scab when applied in the hill
and that they will loosen the soil for
the formation of larger tubers. Wood
ashes have high fertilizing value, being
especially rich in potash. They are a
splendid fertilizer for fruits of all
kinds, and good for flowers and vege-
tables Ashes are made on every
farm; they are waste product and
the more that are saved the less COM
mercial fertilizers will need to be pur-
chased

found that his road was waiting fol
him. Huntington's surveyors never
had discovered the road and be didn't
even know it was included in the pur-
chase. Huntington did not claim it,
so Green said he owned it. He made
a trip of inspection and found that
the ties had rotted or been carried off
by the farmers for firewood. The
rails had rusted out; the 1oadbed
was overgrown with grass; station
houses and depots had been converted
into barns and all that remained of
the railroad was the right of way.
Green announced that he was going to
improve his railroad" and imme-
diately started to work regarding the
roadbed. General Offices were estab-
lished at Terrell, Tex. Depots were
built; new ties and rails put down,
and soon cars and locomotives were
ordered. "The Texas Midland Rail-
way Company, E. H. r. Green, presi-
dent" was an actuality.
The Texas Midland perhaps IS the
shortest railroad Ga complete system)
in the United States. 1t runs from
Ennis, Tex, to Paris, Tex, distance
of 1875 miles. 1t is said to be the most
luxurious road in America. Yet it is
not considered money maker. Green
runs it more as a hobby than as an
investment The passenger cars are
the most modern and complete that
can be made. Every convenience has
been provided, including a bathtub
in each car. All the cars, including
those for freight, are green inside and
out. The stations are painted green
and plush on the seats and the com,
pany's mark on the linen also is green.
The largest and fastest locomotives
turned out by the Baldwin locomotive
works are running on the Texas Mid
land. It has less accidents per mile
and the rolling stock costs more per
mile than any other railroad in the
United States.
Green has other hobbies that prob
ably cost him nearly as much as his
railroad. But he lives in the sure
knowledge that some day-if he out.
lives his mother-he will be worth
100000, 900. And that should be com.
forting to most men.

Gowns Made of Scarfs,

Since the coming in of the tunic
fashion 1t is surprising how many
gowns are made of shawls. Those OF
white Chinese crepe, embroidered or
plain, are the ones used. The long
fringe is left intact.
It is not much trouble to make these
gowns because so much of the drapery
is now in the shawl fashion. The top
part is run on a bias line after the
Greek method, with a large buckle or
ieweled ornament at the right shoulder,
and the fringe is left as an edge.
The tunic has fringe on it also, and
under this is long simple skirt Of
white crepe de chine, without trim
ming. The top part is Of sequined net
or plain tulle.

StvIe of Ionu Aoo.

There is nothing novel in the de-

writer in a Vienna paper. Toward
the end of the thirteenth century great
broad-brimmed hats were fashionable
in Austria They were of such huge di
mensions that face under one of
them could not be recognized. A poem
written by Johannes Hadlaub ex-

the hope that the hats might be con-
signed to the Danube, so that the
pretty faces of our women might once
more become visible"

Woman Needs Sixteen Bags.

Bags are such essentials for the
modish young woman that many
bridal gifts take that form. At least
Is bags are needed, including the
jeweled bag for slippers and fan and
other pretty things for the ball, in adj
dition to the bag the belle keeps at
her side during the dance. There is
the dainty silk end padded bag for the
nightdress when she goes visiting.
When at home it lies below the pillow
on the lace spread in the up-to-date
bed chambers. These bags must have
the monogram of the owner in silk.
usually they have exquisite lace fril-
lings on the covers. Then there are
loose silk bags for fine costumes. espe-
cially the hand-embroidered chiffons
and laces that must be laid away so
carefully to preserve their freshness.
