BRIDAL TRAINS AND WELLS.
Princess and Empire Models Most In
Favor This Year.

Very long and full and extremely
graceful is the wedding train of the
present year. The princess and en-
pire models are about equally in favor
Just now, while court trains, separate
from the dress itself and falling grace
fully from the shoulder, are seen once
more on many of the handsomest
bridal gowns. Rich ivory satin is al
ways preferred by the conventional
bride, but white embroidered panne or
chiffon velvet with a court train of
satin is beautiful, trimmed with lace
and worn with long lace veil
A soft satin silk may be more be-
coming than heavy satin, in which
case the train may be of heavy satin
or brocade. A hat bordered with a
deep band of lace gives much the
same effect as a lace veil and is pre-.
ferred by many as being more possible
to arrange becomingly. II the fiat
arrangement of the veil on the hair
that is so much in vogue at present is
not becoming, a wreath or cluster of
orange blossoms will give the neces-
sary height If placed like a coronet
or tiara in the hair.
The average bride would as soon
dispense with the Lohengrin or Men
delssohn marches as she would be
married without spray OF orange
blossoms on her gown or in her bou-
quet Unfortunately. the natural
orange flower is too perishable to even
form a bouquet, but real flowers can
be combined with the artificial variety
for trimming on the gown or veil and
can help TO make up an attractive
bouquet with lilies of the valley, gar
denias, orchids or whatever white
flower is carried. Care must be taken
that. orange blossoms are purchased,
not lemon flowers, which look so near
ly the same and which grow SO much
more Iuxuriantly and are, consequent
ly, far less expensive.

Craze for Feathers.

Can the craze-and the prices, toe
possibly soar any higher for the
novelty feathers than they now are!
The undressad ostrich. the cog, goura,
cassoway and paradise are at the top
notch of popularity and almost fabu.
lous prices are paid for them. Imagine
what looked to be a delicate piece OF
seaweed dyed black being marked at
S17.79 and three scraggy split ostrich
feathers bringing almost as much!
The lovely dropping ostrich plumes
will cost more, but then they are so
fascinating that one cannot be blamed
for parting with goodly sum in order
to possess them.

Hen VS.. Incubator.

A poultry raiser says: do not
believe that we can take the domestic
hen as the best example of incubation.
She has been domesticated for SO
many years that some varieties have
been educated away from the Matching
of their own eggs, and under the
forced methods in which hens are
kept it does not seem to me that the
habits Of the hen can be followed en-
tirely as our best illustration Of the
correct methods OF incubation.

der certain conditions of artificial In.
cubation than | usually secure with
sitting hens.

THE POULTRY YARD.

Don't let the chickens feed with
the hogs. Many a fine bird has been
lost in this way.
Sunflower seed and millet are both
good for chickens. especially during
the moulting period.
The benefit derived from making
ones flock better Is far greater than
the expense incurred.
Sickness among fowls is often
caused by the absence of sufficient
grit Of grinding material.
Chickens seldom get sick without
a local cause. Find out what 1t is
and guard against It in the future.
In time of Matching remember that
good food, pure water and freedom
from lice will insure fertile eggs.
Fowls intended for breeders should
be kept vigorous and healthy at all
times. Hardy. healthy progeny is
thus assured.
Eggs from each pen OF breeding
birds should be tested as early as
possible, and, II found lacking in fer
tility, a new male should be secured.

Utilize the Bones.

contemporary says that old bones
burned and pounded furnish the min
eral matter that the chicks need. But
why burn the bones and thus destroy
part OF the food value In them? II
they are ground or cut and fed the
mineral matter will be secured and at
the same time the other elements
will be utilized, such as the nitrogen
contained in the bones. This subject
ing them to the test of fire is waste
full of real food value. II we could
persuade every farmer to purchase
a bone mill we would be doing him a
great kindness, for he would be max
ing an investment that would enable
him to utilize the bones that are 80

table or from other sources.

NEXT SEASONS STOCK.
Select Your Breeding Stock Carefully
Use Only Good Layers.

The pitfall into which many viii

from an honest, reliable breeder will
be money well spent. From such
stock one can rear a flock of birds

OF financial value In the market.
In buying birds we must remember
that the blood of parent stock will
show in the offspring, and that the
best bargain we expect to obtain is
100 cents worth of value for every
dollar we spend. Remember. that
few really good birds at the begin

for 1t is there you will find the best
OF the seasons hatch. and you will be
able to select the best of birds for
breeding purposes.
Many a poultry breeder Is now
confronted with the vexlng problem
that of picking out the birds he wishes
to place In permanent winter quar-
ters and use as breeding stock next
season. In every flock will be found
a number of small, under.sized pull
let's, whose size is the result of late
Matching, lack of proper care, dis
ease. or some other cause, and which
to the eye seem desirable to retain
In spite of their small size.
The retention of these birds, as a
rule, we have found to be mistake
and we now keep them no longer
than 1t takes to put them in good
condition for the market. We spare
none that are poorly sized, for tn,
chances are that they will lay no eggs
until well along toward spring, ant
what they do produce are usually O
inferior size. And we have found
as could be expected--that IL suci
stock Is kept over and their egg,
used for Matching, nothing but in
ferior chicks are the result.

Milk for Hens.

Sweet skim milk right from the
separator is a most excellent feed for
laying hens. 1t, in part. takes the
place OF meat scraps. Give 1t every
day as much as the hens will drink;
rinse out the pan each time before 1t
is reilled. Hens like variety in their
feed, and must have 1t in order to
lay eggs In winter.
