How to Brush the Hair.

To brush the hair properly draw the
brush firmly, though gently, over the
scalp and down through the entire
length of the hair at each stroke, and
let the strokes follow each other in
rather rapid succession. The brush
should never be brought down on the
scalp with quick, sharp, striking mo-
ton, as this only irritates and some
times shocks and wounds the scalp as
we'll as tangling the hair. For comb
ing out the hair after it has been
waved a coarse comb is often better
than a brush. Under no circum-
stances should the hair be combed out
by beginning at the scalp and work
ing downward. Instead divide the hair
into strands and comb each portion
separately, beginning at the end of
the hair.

HINTS REGARDING THE HAIR.

Beauty Is to Be Preserved

"Black hair is so rare a beauty that
the girl who possesses 1t should be
careful to keep it satin smooth and
free from dust by the frequent stro-
kings with a velvet bristled brush oc-
casionally moistened ever so slightly
with olive oil.
Brown hair so soon fades and turns
gray that it's rich, deep shades are
only to be preserved by constant vigil
lance. One method of keeping it beau
tiful is to occasionally rub upon the
scalp and locks very little sour milk,
allowing it to remain for few mo-
ments and then washing it out with
warm water.
Blonde hair should be washed with
CASTLE soap and water, then thorough
ly dried in the sunshine whenever pos
sible, as that helps to preserve the
golden shades. Any preparation con-
tanning ammonia is apt to fade light
hair and to give it an ashen tinge,
while peroxide of hydrogen rinsings
will bleach it so gradually that before
a girl realizes what is happening she
will find herself the possessor OF far
more silver than golden locks.

POULTRY NOTES.

Have some object in view, and work
to it.
Be sure the hens are provided with
a dust bath.
Boiled oats or other grain makes a
good laying feed.
Utility means more to the farmer
than fancy points.
Get rid of the hen that is never
caught on the nest.
The breed you like best, is the best
breed for you to keep.
Don't allow yourself to become neg
ligent about your poultry duties.
Old hens make the best mothers,
but the pullets are the better layers.
Shells and gravel as well as char.
coal should be accessible to the poul.
try.
Nothing under the sun is better for
fowls, both young and old, than dry
bran.
Keep your breeding fowls active
and working and you will produce
more and better chicks.
Gapes come largely by exposure to
cold and damp weather.
There are a great many things to
consider before one should launch out
in the poultry business.
study. Something new can be learned
every season.
Select your largest, earliest Matched
pullets for your egg supply; they will
be most satisfactory in the breeding
pens as well.
There is danger of vermin getting in
their work no matter how careful you
are. Keep a constant fight against
them.
Spray your roosting rooms once a
week with a solution of two parts wa
ter to one of carbolic acid and coal
oil.
If you failed last season in raising
6ne flock of fowls it is no sign you
will again this year.

NESTING PLACE FOR TURKEYS.
Best Results When Eggs Are Right on
the Ground. with Little Straw
Under Them.

I have this year about 80 hen tur-
keys and make Is or 20 nesting places

be laying or sitting at the same time,
and some will find their own nest

HONEY BEES ARE PROFITABLE.

each untrammeled by rules and with
no set task. No bee works for itself;
the multitude works as though it were
one bee.
If you desire to advertise your honey
and work up trade, place your name
and address on every package. Labels
are all right for glass jars, but for
comb honey either have printed car
ton or stamp your name on the Sec
ton with rubber stamp. If you are
capable of producing q fancy article
you deserve the credit for it and all of
the trade there is to be had. There is
nothing like establishing a good, hon
est reputation for yourself. Do this
and your honey will sell itself.
One day while working in the apiary
a gentleman watched me. He was
anxious to know how / managed to get
the honey from the hives. He asked,
"Was it at night when all the bees are
asleep?" That, of course, would be
the very worst time of all, for bees
know nothing about sleep, but work "a
hours day. There is plenty of work
for them to do in the hive at night,
such as evaporating the honey, build
ing comb, etc.
1t is the custom of bee keepers gen
orally to select warm and clear days
in which to perform the operation of
the hive. The older bees that consti-
tute the field force are out then in
quest of nectar and pollen and the
manipulations are more easily per"

Water for the Chicks.

Take an ordinary baking pan and
have the tinsmith rivet on an "ear" on
one side for mailing to a tree. Have
him also make a hole in the bottom
in one corner, that the water can be
let out every day and the pan be kept
clean. Nail the pan to tree about
twelve inches from the ground, so the
chicks can drink without getting into
it with their feet. The birds will soon
discover that it is fine place from
which to get drink on hot days.
Sometimes they find, too, that it is a
convenient place for bath, and this
of course makes the water dirty. But
it is not much trouble to refill the pan
with. clean water, and this should be
done two or three times day. Chick
ems and birds require great deal of
water, and they often suffer for lack
of il. Don't neglect them.

The origin of the present auto
matte weather observatory on Mt.
Rose is coincident with the placing OF
maximum and minimum thermome-
tiers there June 20, 1905, to obtain
further data on summit temperatures
in winter in the Sierra Nevada. The
impulse thereto was given by the en-
thusiasm of Prof McAdie, who had
foreseen the value Of high mountain
weather stations to the general serv-
ice, but whose endeavors had met
temporary check in the failure OF Mr..
Bennett to reach the summit or
Mount Whitney with a minimum
thermometer on account Of early
storms in the autumn Of 1904.
The observatory is in shape and
furnishings the counterpart of ships
cabin, and is made of tongue and
groove lumber, with a covering of
Malthoid roofing and tar, and fitted
with plate glass observation windows.
The building is held in place by be-
ing set in a nest eXcavated in the
solid rock and wedged there firmly
by smaller rock and slate driven
stoutly between the wall of the build
ing and the faces of the excavation.
A precipitation tank, 80 inches in
diameter and feet high was built
at Reno and carried to the summit
on the backs of reliable horses. This
tank was sunk in the rock to protect
it from freezing.
A mercurial barometer and case be-
longing to the Nevada agricultural
experiment station was installed in
the observatory just before winter
closed in and has been of great value
as a standard with which to com
pare the Paragraph.
The general outfitting Of the OBJ
servatory was accomplished largely
nv gifts and loans. A collection OF
works on meteorology and climat-
ology was furnished by the weather
h1prea and the experiment station.
An Sx1O camera with eXtenslble bel
lows was loaned by the department
IF entomology and a 3AX4A folding
kodak equipped with Goerz lens by
the writer. An Al-Vista panoramic
camera was later furnished by the
experiment station to supplement the
others The bedding was procured
nv withdrawing the sleeping bags
and blankets used to such advantage
the previous winter at Contact Pass
Despite the lack of long range in
struments, observations have been
continued by means of bi-weekly OF
monthly visits throughout the year
ON one occasion, March 1929, 1907,
the marty, consisting of Prof. Frand
son and the writer, failed to reach
the summit after a prolonged strug-
gle with soft snow, in which the Ca
madam snow-shoes broke beneath the
strain. This failure occurred almost
exactly on the anniversary of the
failure of the two consecutive at
tempts the year before.
The most valuable results of these
observations is a Chronological rec.
ord extending over two years. This
record. though necessarily fragmen
tarv on account of the inadequacy OF
the instruments, still represents the
general characteristics of the temper

TRAVELLING with PhiaIs.

In travelling with toilet bottles or

liquids to pour through. Then cut
small pieces of thin, pliable wire.
Draw a piece around the neck Of
each bottle and make loop, draw
ing tight. Put other end across the
cork and form another loop around
neck of bottle. So prepared, the bot
tie may be packed in either bag or
trunk without danger of splitting.

To CLEANSE the Hair.

Sometimes, especially if away from
home, it is difficult to wash the hair
When this is the case, try this method
of freshening it instead. Take piece
of lemon and rub it we'll into the
scalp, afterward brushing the hair
thoroughly with clean, not too hard,
brush. This treatment does not make
the hair at all sticky, but makes it
beautifully fresh, soft, and glossy; it
also renders it easy to curl.
