Raw Meat as a Food for Hens.

Those who are familiar with Poultry
know with what eagerness they eat raw
meat of any kind. This habit indicates
that raw meat is something their nature
demands. There is perhaps no material
better adapted to the needs of fowls-es-
pecial1y in winter-than Green Cut Bone
and Meat ground together. 1t is not
only sinvigorating but it contains in a
form easily assimilated the very elements
required for the making of eggs. 1t will
make hens lay when everything else fails.
c. S. Page of Hyde Park, VT. will send
a 200 ID. barrel of Green Cut Bone and
Meat for $3.50, freight prepaid. to any
point in New England or Middle States.

THE ART OF FLAVoRINc.

Frequently in making some familiar
dish a good cook viii discover. some
clever little variation in the way Of
fiavoring or new ingredients that adds

dish.
Thus one clever woman in preparing
salads composed Of celery and nuts or

II the nuts were first passed through
the meat chopper and reduced TO the

was much improved.
She shreds the celery rather fine and
arranges the minced nuts into a little

When something out OF the ordinary

One Of the greatest compliments, this

car so easily when driving that she
looked as though she had grown in the

DRESS LENGTHS.

The home dressmaker is frequently
puzzled about the correct length Of
skirts. Two inches above the ground
all round is the proper length Of the
tailored skirt of 1910
The skirts OF linen suits are nearly
always made ankle length This pre-
vents them from soiling quickly around
the bottom, and the short skirt in
wash goods Is always natty looking.
Separate skirts for outing wear are
also ankle length. Tweeds, serges,
linens and heavy cotton and brilliantine
are the materials most used for these
skirts.
For the double skirt-that is, two
skirts Of equal depth made from fiounc-
ing in fabrics Of one hnd-the lengths
may be the same all round. And for
house wear the round length is pre-
ferred- The skirt may escape the
ground IL for outdoor wear.

ionable tunic drapery that runs into a
point at the back train effect is re-
Quired.

Of that time she turns a cupful Of boil

ROOT CELERY.

Not every one knows there is a va
riety OF celery which makes a large
root like a turnip and that serves as
an excellent salad vegetable. The
seed is sown and the plants are plant
ed exactly the same as the better
known varieties. but when the roots
nave grown large enough they are dug
up as wanted. The tops are trimmed
on, and the bulbs are then scraped and
boiled until tender They are then
sliced and laid in weak vinegar, to be
served with cream or French dressing
the same as potato salad. The flavor
is mild and delicious
