ORNAMENTS FOR COUTURE
Should Be Selected with the Idea OF
Giving Air of individuality
to the Wearer.

While the summer style of hair
dressing is less elaborate than the
coiffures affected in the winter, there
are, nevertheless, many charming
ways of arranging the hair and at
tractive ornaments to be worn in the
braids and coils.
A gold and jeweled Scandinavian
dagger and a high Spanish comb are
effective, and lend an air of Individual
ity to the wearer.
Aigrettes caught with full tulle ro-
settle are pretty and quite coquettish,
and a band of black velvet ribbon with
gold or jeweled slides and buckles
forms becoming headdress.
The empire comb is also becoming,
whether worn across the head in front
or combining the curls at the back.
These are of shell, and are beautifully
ornamented with filigree work in gold
and set with semi-precious and preci-
GUS stones.
The Greek fillet is becoming to a
young girl in the majority of cases,
whether in metal or shell, and rib
bons of all kinds are worn twisted
and threaded in the hair
Soft tulle ribbons in colors, to har-
monte with the frock, metallic rib
bon strands of pearl or coral beads
with tassel ends and quaint cabochon
ornaments, are all picturesque and eff

INCUBATOR BETTER THAN HEN
Poultry Raiser Describes His Expert
ence in Trying to Get Fowl
to Set

I do not make a practice Of Matching
with hens, but once in a while | set
one just to humOr her. The last eX-
perience / had was with a hen that
wanted to set in the breeding pen.
Not wanting her there / removed her
to another place and / penned her up,
but she got out and | gave her a chase
for about an hour. Finally l got her
fixed again, and after setting two days
found her running about the yards
with broken egg shells sticking to her
feathers, feet and legs. l examined
the nest and found three eggs broken,
writes Vincent M. Couch in Poultry
Monthly. | washed the remaining ones
and renewed the nesting material and
cot her back to business. At the same
time / was running 220-egg incuba-
tor and it was not as much trouble as
this old hen. And when the hatch
came off the old hen had six chicks
and the incubator III. That's the diff
ference. My experience with hens as
hatchers has not always been like
this. however Neither has it been
like this with incubators at all times.
But good incubator will beat the
hen. even if the hen is good one.
Yet it frequently happens that it is
more convenient to use hens for
Matching and brooding than to use ar
tificial means. But as a rule, give me
hens for eggs and incubators for
Matching them.

CASTING Cares upon the Lord

The Christian is told to cast all his
cares upon God. 1t is inevitable that
the Christian will have his cares, for
of one sort or another it is a concom-
liant of all active and useful living.
There are some cares that are need
lessly incurred, while there are 9TH
ers that cannot be escaped. But in
any case the only wise way to do is
to cast that unacceptable care upon the
Lord. He is stronger than we are
and He invites us to ask him to bear
the load which would crush our un-
supported strength. 1t is all that a
man can do to live well with the
Lord to help hint is utterly beyond
his power to live as life should be
lived without divine assistance. Cares
to oneself are unprofitable-cares cast
upon the Lord become like golden.

HOW TO PRODUCE GOOD EGGS
Fourteen Essentials in Securing Good
Eggs and Marketing Them on
Profitable Basis.

AS requisites for the production of
good eggs and marketing them in
good condition the following may be
mentioned:
1. Hens that produce not only a
goodly number of eggs but eggs mod
erately large size (weighing two
ounces each on an average).-Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyandotttes, Rhode Is
land Reds, Orpingtons and Leghorns
or Minorcas that are used on egg
farms are varieties that may be ex
pected to do this.
2. Good housing, regular feeding and
watering and, above all, clean, dry
nests.
8. Daily gathering of eggs and
when the temperature is above 80 de
grees, gathering twice a day.
f. The combining of all broody hens
as soon as discovered.
5. The rejection as doubtful of al
! eggs found in nest that was not Wis
tied the previous day. Such eggs
should be used at home, where each
may be broken separately.
6. The placing of all summer eggs
as soon as gathered in the coolest
place available.
Z. The prevention at all times OF
moisture lin any form coming in con
tact with the egg shells.
s. The disposal of young cockrels
before they begin to annoy the hens
Also selling or combining of old male
birds from the time Matching is over
until cool weather in fall
8. The using of cracked and dirty as
well as small eggs at home Some
eggs, if consumed when fresh, are per
fectly wholesome, but when marketed
are Disseminated against and are like
| ly to become an entire loss.
10. The marketing of all eggs al
/ least once week and oftener when
| convenience allows.
IL. Keeping eggs as cool and dry as
| possible while on the way to town and
| while in country stores.
II. Keeping eggs away from musty
cellars or bad odorSs

and one of the most striking gowns
of the year was white frock OF
lingerie type with black tunic OF
wide-mesh net. This took at once;
and it may be taken for granted that
mousseline will play large part in
the gowns to come, for it wells the
supple, glossy materials and tones
them down so that they may be more
universally used.
It is even nsaid that the evening

and such an idea brings with it many
possibilities. One might have a pale
green coat, for instance, lined with
shrimp pink covered with green
mousseline. The effect would be
opalescent and very beautiful, besides
being novel. Orchid colorings, too
may be procured, and yellow may be
used in so many perfect combinations
Red may be used more than usual, for
when it is yelled with some darker
and less conspicuous color the effect
is of extreme richness with no touch
of gaudiness.
These combinations will require the
eye of an artist, but when well done
they will be surprisingly lovely.

Necessity of Green Feed.

Some writer's on poultry diseases
claim liver trouble is caused By lack
of green food in the ration, but we
have seen fowls die of it on free range
in summer. In such cases, however,
we are inclined to think the tendency
was inherited from a diseased ances-
try, aided, perhaps, by improper feed
ing while the birds were baby chicks.
Bowel trouble may exist in a chronic
form for many months and the bird
continue to grow so that unless you
are a close observer of each indivii-
ual fowl you may never notice any
thing wrong until an overfeed of
some indigestible substance starts an

to determine the good layers has been
the difficulty.
With the perfection of the trap nest
this difficulty has been removed and
many poultry breeders are now engag-
ed in the production Of egg-laying
strains Of fowls.
The great majority of people make
no selection of hens from which to
hatch their stock The eggs of the
whole flock are kept together, and
when eggs are desired for Matching
they are selected from a general
basket.
1t has been assumed and is shown
by trap nest records that eggs thus Sc
lected in the spring of the year are
from the poorer rather than from the
better layers This is because the
hens that have not been laying during
the winter will lay very heavily dur
ing the spring season.

TRAP NESTS MAKE RECORDS
Simple Device to Catch Hen When
Laying and Keep Eggs Separ-
ate with Accuracy.

A trap nest is a simple device to
catch the hen when she enters to lay.
AS she passes into the nest she
presses against a trigger which holds
up the door and it falls down behind
her. When she has laid the egg it
is numbered to correspond with the
number on the hens leg band. This
enables the breeder to keep each hens
eggs sparate with perfect accuracy.

ducing qualities of the hen date to the

other breeds combined. AS fancier's

One who always dips her own laces
says that she does not use tea or COT

and mixes il with rice flour until it is

into a bowl with the powder, and
rubbed in until it is perfectly even as
to tone. Then the powder is shaken
of. The dye is most efecctual. OF
course, one must wear gloves when
