placed in these early in the spring
and after the chicks are old enough

be removed and perches put up. This
makes an ideal house till very late
in the fall. Laying hens can be win
tered in colonyshouses with as good
results in egg production as in larger
houses. Ventilation can be arranged
in colony houses much the. same as
in larger ones. The two cuts here

The shed roof is ventilated by muslin
curtains on upper part of windows.

two-celled spores which serve to prop
agate the fungus.
There are several other forms of
dry rot which are less important, but
cause considerable damage, which
seems to be on the increase. These
are also due to fungi which belong. for
the most part, to the genus Fusarium
members of which cause serious
damage to quite number of our i'm
portant cultivated plants. -.
"In the case of the Diplodia disease.
and quite probably in that of the other
forms, the fungus perpetuates itself
over winter on the old diseased ears
and old stalks. 1t is not usually diff
ficult to find throughout the summer
in old corn fields, where the disease
has previously prevailed, many pieces
Of old cornstalks which are infected
with the Diplodia fungus. Stalks
known to be two years old have been
found still producing spores.
THE fungus does not, according to
present knowledge, grow upon any
other host, and upon developing corn
only on the ears. Not so much is
known of the other fungi here con-
cerned, but since 80 per cent. of the
rot is due to Diplodia, less attention
need be given to them. Diseased ears
are fruitful sources of subsequent in
lection and should be removed as
promptly as possible. This can be
readily done, at the time of husking,

arate receptacle and burn them as
soon as practicable. In addition to
this, in fields where any considerable
amount of disease has been found,
the stalks should also have attention.

also dries up moisture and is one of
the best agencies for killing microbes
and disease germs. Windows should
be arranged to come well up under
the front. This will permit the sun
to shine well toward the back part
of the house. Winter is the most i'm
portant time for plenty of sun and
as it is lower in the heavens during
the winter months, hence the impor-
lance of having the windows higher.
At least one-third of the front of a
poultry house should be gabled or

results.

PROPER CARE OF THE NECK
Woman Tells How to Avoid Double
Chin and Sagging Throat Mus
cles, the Marks of Age.

stuoW do I keep my back straight
~ and my neck from sagging?"
said the woman who spent hours each
day at typewriter. II write with
my chest up and my eyes turned cell
ingward.
Il never allow myself to stoop. sit
ting well back on my chair to make
the erect position possible, and, when
ever do not have to look at my copy

myself twist my head and take neck
stretching movements while writing
to fight off the double chin and sag
ging throat muscles that are SO COM
mon for women who sit at desk or
piano much.
1.-THE way I happened to think of
combining neck development and
work was by watching my grandmoth-
er. Her throat is as thin and supple
as a girls. though she is nearly 80,
and she has none of the sagging lines
that most of us connect with age.
"She told me that whenever she got
a chance during the day, whenever
she had to plan any Of her work or
wanted minutes rest, she sat with
her eyes turned heavenward. her
chest up and the muscles at the back
of the neck contracted.
"Often as she sat there she would
massage the throat muscles with the
tips of her fingers or draw the palms
of her hands alternately from the line
of her chin toward her chest. She
usually carried a small tube OF cold
cream in her pocket and would put
just enough on her fingers to keep the
skin from getting sore.
How did she manage about her
collar? She never wore one around
the house. but had her morning frocks
made with a narrow surplice neck to
give freedom and air to the throat.

ty doctor in her life, but she agrees
with most of them that tight collar
is fatal to beautiful throat. I can

DRY ROT OF CORN
Disease Which Is Causing Concern.

According to T. ]. Burrill and j.
r. Barrett of the Illinois station the
groups of diseases of corn known un-
der the general name of dry rot has
become of suffic ient economic impor-
lance during the past four or five
years to cause general concern among
farmers in corn-growing regions.
IN 1906, the year in which there
was the greatest amount of dry rot. SO
far as any records have been made.
the loss was AS per cent. of the entire
crop in Illinois. This represents a
loss of over 100000 bushels having
a value of more than 100000. The
loss in 1907 was less than two per
cent of the crop, or about $2,OOO,O0O.
The name dry rot is derived from
the way the ears are affected IN the
field. I'm general the husks tend to
turn prematurely yellow to sooty, ane
the ear becomes partially or wholly
shriyeled and mu:n decreased in
weight. Sometimes the ears remain
upright with the husks closely adher-
ing to them. In other cases the
sbanks are weakened and the affected
ears hang limp from their attachment,
or the diseased condition may not be
detected until the husk is removed"
There are several kinds of dry rot,
due to different causes. The most
common and that which, according
to Burrill and Barrett, has during the
mast two seasons caused about 80
per cent. of the damage in Illinois.
is due to fungus known as Diplo-
dia maydis. Ears infected with this
fungus "shrivel up more or less dark

When CLIMBING Stairs,

have heard girls complain because
they have to climb so many flights of
stairs in order to reach their rooms.
Now, with a little practice they will be
able to go up the stairs without feel
ing the climb at all. Hold the head
erect, the chest up breathe slowly and
deeply and put the ball of the foot
firmly on each step.

Japanese Scarfs.

Now that half the women one knows
are dressing themselves up in the
floating scarf which the women of the
eighteenth century loved, many kinds
of new materials are being brought
into play.
Chiffon with tiny fringe Of metal
or crystals is still in the lead with its
rival of black tulle embroidered in
gold, but the new thing is scarf of
Japanese satin embroidered with flow
ers or in tiny figures. One woman
who has yellow satin scarf on which
is outlined quaint little men and wom

1t around the shoulders over a hand

oDoR SHOULD BE ELUSIVE
Just a Suggestion Of Perfume Is
All the Really Dainty Girl
Will Allow Herself.

MANY girls who are decked for con-
WI quest unconsciously make them
selves nuisance to every one who
comes near them by their choice of
perfumes. II they would but learn
that heavy scent is vulgar life would
be more comfortable for those who
come their way.
The girl who restrains her love OF
onions for the sake of her fellow man,
who would be Mortified at the thought
of an odor from perspiration, will sat
urate herself with cologne or sachets
and think she has added the finishing
touch of elegance.
There are some persons who are
made ill by even suggestion of per-
fumery; there are others who become
unconscious from the smell of heavy
scent in close room, while still 9TH
ers are made to sneeze violently by
breathing satchet powder.
No refined girl would want to make
herself a nuisance to her neighbors.
Leaving the question of lack of refine
ment out of it, perfumes should not
be used excessively from humani-
tartan standpoint. We should refrain
from any practice that may make 9TH
ers uncomfortable.
A girl once wondered at her lack
of popularity. She was a charming
girl, but slipped up on many an invi-
tation that went to less attractive
friends. Her amazement was great
when a candid older woman told her
that her lack of invitations was due to
her love of tuberoses, which she con-
stantly wore.
A heavy odor of perfumery also
gives rise to unpleasant suggestions
that 1t is necessary to deaden I'M
for personal daintiness.
An odor to be permissible should be
SO elusive as to be almost imper-
ceptible. Delicate sachets may be
placed among ones clothes. The new
American Beauty pad makes every
thing fragrant. So do the slips of per-
fumed pasteboard. Toilet waters used
after the bath, or in it, rarely are OBJ
jectionable, as they have fresh,
clean smell. Heavy perfumes such as
musk, altar of roses, tuberoses or pat
chouli should be tabooed A drop
may make the wearer a nuisance
If one cannot refrain from the per-
fume habit, and this habit is as COM
mon to certain type of man as to
women, at least scent should not be
used when one is going into a public
assemblage. No one has a right for a
personal qualification to make others
miserable.
