FOR BELTS AND HANDBAGS
These. and Sometimes ParasoIs, Are
Made of Same Material as
Linen Costumes.

Some ultra women this year have
had handbags and parasols, as well as
Ieather-fnished belts made OF the
same linen as their costumes. Belts,
however. are often the sole point OF
color which is introduced upon the
one-tone tailored gown and all sorts
of old favorites are coming back into
favor again, including linked metal
and fine leather. beaded and fancy
elastic articles.
With linen tailored dresses. as with
the soft, long, one-piece forms, mar
row silk underskirt is worn, generally
If the same color as the gown. This
skirt is made with a messaline top
and ruf1e. possibly, though not neces-
qarily. of shot taffeta. Batiste or lawn
skirts are made up with the same pro-
portions and general shape, the idea
being to have the garment as thin as
possible and without a bit of super
iuous fullness around the hips.-Har-

RATION TO FATTEN POULTRY
Method Adopted at Maine Station and
Gives Much Satisfaction-Coops
Are Used.

At the Maine station the following
ration for fattening is fed to fowls in
small pens with great success.
Hundred parts Of cornmeal
Hundred parts wheat middlings.
Forty parts of neat meal.
This was fed as porridge. thick
enough to drop, hut not run, from a
spoon. Milk is preferable for moisten-
ing the mixture
French and English fatteners who
make a speciality of the business of
fattening thousands of chickens each
year confine them in small coops. The
coops used at the Maine station had
a floor space of 16 by 23 inches. in
each of which four chickens were
placed. This method can be used
when the space is limited. At the
Maine station it was found that chick
ems fattened in pen put on Weight
as rapidly and ut as low cost as those
in crates or on which examining ma
chimes were used.
Where a pen is used the fowls
should have shade, grit and the water
must be fresh and plentiful. Feed
them three times day and be care
full to see that none is left in the
troughs between meals.

Poultry Runs.

There is more or less dry weather
during the summer, and the runs not
infrequently become baked, and in
heavy soils more or less filthy. The
man who has the best interests of his
stock at heart will once week use a
hand plow in such yards and stir up
the soil so as to make it loose and
fresh. If he does this at night, the
next morning the fowls will get at
work, scratching, hunting worms and
stirring up things generally. 1t is
wonderful how much they find in this
turned up soil that furnishes them
both amusement and food.

All poultry that are not pure-bred
are not scrubs.
When growing fowls expressly for
market, many poultrymen prefer cross
breds.
The houses and pens the fowls aro
placed in should be scrupulously
clean.
Generally a hen with nice, clean
cut head and a full, bright eye will
be a good layer.

louise geese is said to give the largest

hest treatment of fowls while they
are passing through the moult.
Fowls always seem to moult earlier
and quicker when they are warm
and in places where they are exposed
to the sun.
When moulting actually commences,
it is best to feed literally on rations
which are easy of digestion and rich
in protein.
The cockerels should be culled out

develop much better if this is done.
