apparent then that additional induce
ments must be given hens if they are
to contribute their quota of eggs IN
the season of high prices. Perhaps the
greatest incentive to egg production,
especially in winter when comfort Is
imperative, is exercise. The best way
to provide it is through the medium Oh
scratching sheds. The she'd should have
from four to twelve inches of litter, the
fowls will quickly wear this down. In
this the small grain should be seat
tered. This will give the birds health
ful exercise as they scratch for 1t, ana
proves a most valuable means of secur-
ing winter eggs Grit and shell-formins
material are Just as necessary, II not
more So in winter as in summer,
both for the preservation of health and
egg yield. The concentrated peer
scraps can be well mixed and fed dry
in hoppers, with fine mesh wire in

wasting it, Clean, fresh water, with
the chill taken off. BY such means
properly grown and matured fowls
will do well and winter eggs will not
be beyond the grasp of the poultry
raiser,

WINTER LAYING

Much Of tho failure Of hens to acauit
themselves creditably in winter is due
to some fault in the general manage
ment. Feeding and housing play an
important part, and il is only OF ldte
that poultry rasers have begun 10
realize the value Of scientific teedlnS
and proper housing. Scientific IeedlhS
consists OF keeping foods IN a hHeu
ratio of albuminOids to CarDO-ny yurdleS'
The former element is valuable 1or
egg production, while the latter Is
heating and fatteuing in its properties.
The most generally accepted ratio Is
one mart of the former to four and a
quarter parts of the latter. Ihe Loou9
which most nearly approach the IDEAL
ratio are BRAN oats and barley.
Feeds that contain plenty of ash OF
mineral matter and protein should be
selected Corn has but per cent Oh
ash, per cent of protein and 81 per
cent of carbohydrates; wheat runs
birher in ash and somewhat higher in
protein. Barley contains 21s per cent
ash and per cent protein; oats con-
tain 3 per cent ash and per cent
protein; bran $40 per cent ash ana
II per cent protein; mlddlln8s per
cent ash, Il per cent protein; aildIIa
meal IA per cent ash, l4 per cent pro
tein; beef scraps, 30 to 90 per cent
II. y
from the above feeds. Too often the
poultry raiser expects his hens to lay
winter eggs in large quantities ana
refuses them the material to make
them with However, feeding alone, be
it ever so good can hardly satisfy an
the conditions for profitable laying.
Proper protection must be gwen the
fowls against cold nights, their nous
ing accommodations must be ram
tight. roomy and free from draugnts,
as nothing so quickly affects laying
hen as cold, draughty sleeping quar-
ters: nor must ventilation be neglecteo
in the effort to obtain warmth. A men
to satisfactorily fulfill her allotted
functions in winter must be heathy
and in the pink of condition, and TINS
state can only be brought on by iead-
ing an active and healthy lie. w no
does not know the detected aspect oA
a hen who has passed a night In
draughtv house, or perhaps an early
storm finds the long-delayed overhaul
ing still an event in the future? Inc
hen leaves her perch chilled through
and in no fit condition to lay. she
mopes around, and even food fails TO
erouse any degree of enthusiasm IN
her. AS a contrast, look at the men
who has been properly housed anu
mark her sprightly gait as she leaves
the house IN the morning ready 10

nicely that cannot be equaled by any
other individual of equal means.
Unparalleled economy in money and
space is both a cause and effect of un-
paralleled simplicity in living. The
regularity of habits in all the profess
sions and among all classes of those
who do the actual work of Paris Is
most admirable.
No one can see the difficult and never
ceasing work of the 100000 concierges
| of the. city without seeing the most
amazing example of a most careful
and efficient class of caretakers. Their
service requires all the skill of po-
liceman, the sleeplessness of a watch
man, the activity of a mechanic. the
trustworthiness of a banker. They
must know and watch all who come
and go, answer all calls both night and
day, stand ready for thousand com
plants of the tenants, and often collect
the rents when due; and yet, who ever
knew a concierge who was not always
at the post of duty in the little den
that commands the stairs and hall
ways? You take off your hat to the
cOncierges of Paris as the most dutlful
class in the most difficult of duties. So
in it's degree, clerks and cabbies,
trainmen and mechanics, and many
more whose lives are Wig-Wag and
wag-wig, like the clocks pendulum
and who must take all their rest and
recreation between the wig and the
Wag.
Out Of this simplicity of living comes
training of children that is most ad-
mirable, and no one can remain long
in Paris and not be gratifled by the
respect and obedience of children to
their parents and teachers, and by
their love of nature and evident en-
joyment of the simplest games ana
sports. In churches and theaters and
public audiences their conduct is gentle
and respectful and out of that spirit
and training have the faithfulness to
like the Gobelins factory, the SeVres
pottery works, the Cluny and the Ma
tional theaters, where for generations
sons have succeeded their fathers in
the production of those costly tapes
tries and those marvellous pOrcelains
and the famous care of the museums
and theaters.
Continuance in civic service is the
greatest test and proof of the faith
fulness, industry and character of the
servants, and this faithfulness and de-
votion to duty and love for the work
is seen in many great establishments
of Paris like the great furnishing
house OF Dufayel and the Bon Marche.
They arise largely out of the simple
living and habits which have not
changed for generations.
No one has seen the real Paris who
has not seen this apostolic succession
of the apostles of simplicity of life so
long preserved in the city. No one
has seen the real Parisiaus who has not
been on it's streets from to a. m.
when the army of the days toilers are
on their way to work, and from to
when they are going home. Clear OF
eye, firm of muscle, quick in response
when questioned, these working peo-
pie, simple and faithful, are a sure
foundation for the finished superstruc-
ture Of Paris society.

Crowding night and crowding morn.

At my mans hearts citadel
When 1 view your shining locks
Built up so extremely well,
When I see your dainty feet
In your high heeled slippers go
Twinkling up and down the street
Hunting bargains, TO and fro?

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN

As lawns are best made or renovated
during the cooler, cloudter months, u
few suggestions may now be useful,
especially to new arrivals in California.
Emphasis has often been laid on the
thorough preparation Of the ground by
digging, manurinE and rolling, so L
will only add that this applies par
ticularly to California, where the long
dry summers are especially hard on a
lawn, writes sydney b. Mitchell. Seed
ing can be done either in the fall or
in March. and it is well to allow
few days to intervene between the
preparation Of the soil and the seed
sowing in order that the first crop of
weeds may garminate and be hoed off.
Kentucky blue grass certainly makes
the finest lawn where care and at
tentiUn can be given ii, and combina-
ton of this with white clover IS also
good. Around San Francisco bay,
where summers are cool and water Is
always available, small lawns are Of
ten wholly clover the CHIEF disadvant-
age being that they require lot or
cutting. In some Of the almost frostlesS
parts Of Southern California and par
ticularly where the soil Is light, Bermu-
da. grass is used for lawns as it has the
merit of withstauding drought and af-
fording no foothOld for weeds, but as
it spreads rapidly and can hardly be
eradicated, it is well to make sure you
like its duller green before sowing seed
or, as is sometimes done, planting
pieces of the root CheCkerboard fashion
over the area to be covered, In any
case 1t should never be mixed with
other grasses.

FRIENDSHIP PILLOW

There is a cushion top comes stamped

The owner of the square SENDS IL 10
her intimate friends and each one

outlining the card with black. The
color of the silk used for the name IS
immaterial but the cushion will, OF
course, be prettier and more artistic

the owner herself works the back

spaces for the names should be marked
off. For this an ordinary visiting card

A FEW FRILLS

Brimmed turbans are seen with up
right brims almost as high as the hat
itself and close to it except at the
back.
A recent bride had in her trousseau
chiffon cloth nightgowns in all the new
shades of blue, that being her faVorlte
color.
Chamois gloves in either white or
cream, with arrow backs and pricked
seams, continue fashionable for street
wear.
Persian shawl designs are reproduced
in crepe de chine in the same patterns
that were familiar to us as children.
Rhinestone buckles for slippers are
shown with a bit of color added to
match the frock with which they are
to be worn.
Marquisettes appear in new guise,
which is known as chameleon weave,
a tWo-toned combination to be used
over third color.
Hat shapes are of three sorts-the
large, wide-brimmed hat (the most
popular), the cloche, or Charlotte Cor
day, and the turban.
Jet beads embroider the toes Of
black evening slippers, gold on gold,
silver on white.
Odd blouses, rich in coloring, are
worn with the winter suits. Some of
them of Persian chiffon have fancy
yokes and lace applique.
The extreme novelty of this winters s
trimmings is the use of wooden beads
in beautiful soft colorings combined
with gold, silver and net.

DISINFECTANTS

If chickens are out Of condition do
not put too much confidence in internal
treatment. The free use of disinfec-
tants may do more to restore whole
some conditions than all the drugs
poured down the sometime unfortunate
fowls. Sulphuric acid sometimes
makes a most satisfactory disinfectant,
but it requires great care in handling;
one pound OF sulphuric acid can be
mixed to so quarts of water by pour
ing the acid into the water; never pour
the water over the acid. Use wood
en- pail for miXing-sweep up and burn,
or put on a disinfectant, field the ac-
cumulation of droppings, pour the sui
phuric acid solution into sprinkling
can and sprinkle about the floor, roots,
etc. WhiteWash the house, burn the
litter N the nests, etc. Put the dis
eased fowls in a hospital and burn the
ones that die. There are some good
tar preparations and sheep dips that
will answer the same purpose as the
sulphuric acid; use very strong. While
using any dislnfectant with a strong
odor gather the eggs often and keep
the disinfectant away from the nests.

MODES IN BRIEF

The English fashion of having the
bridesmaids wear wells, as well as the
bride, is one that is being eagerly
caught up by lovers Of English fash
ions on this side of the water.
SO fine and soft is the cloth of which
a chamois color cloak is made that at
a distance is gives the effect of chamoiS
itself. Such a coat with sealsktn cuffs,
collar and revers presents delight
full contrast, both as to color and quail
ity.
Canary color is equally attractive
made into evening gowns when
trimmed with black satin, velvet or
fur or garnitured with delicate silver
lace and silvery embroidery.
Very long panel tabs on many even
inig gowns are of gold color silk net
carried out in a wide-meshed conven-
tiOnal design, giving an elegant effect.
For morning frocks silk warp Hen
rietta combined with English water
proof crepe is greatly used.
Wide bands Of satin are much used
as trimmings of frocks of chiffon serge
or almost any material.
The desire for Persian and Paisley
effects has now found its way to bed
room slippers, which are now made in
Persian cashmere.
The smartest materials for an even
ing gown for middle-aged women are
the new brocades and the chantilly
and Spanish laces.
The fur scarf is replacing the one of
satin or chiffon, and it must be large
and rich to be fashionable.
Grays, browns and corbeau blues
are dominant in the fashionable color
world of tailored suits.
