SHOWING THE WINTER STYLES
Exhibits of London Dressmakers Give
Fair Idea of What Is Going to
Be Popular.

An the smart dressmakers In Lon
don have been exhibiting their new
models. The coat and skirt costumes
were chiefly of "ratine," the latest
novelty In materials, which when at
It's best resembles channels leather In
appearance, but Is as soft and warm
as a good Harris tweed. Coats, OF
course. were short and rather like the
REFER of several years ago, while
skirts. If not actually hobbled, were
tight to the hobbling point and much
trimmed. House and evening gowns
were almost all fashioned with tun1c
effect. Sometimes the tun1c was very
long. Sometimes it reached but lit
tie below the hips.
Black was much used to soften
vivid color effects. Thus, frock OF
purple and green had a long tun1c OF
black net bordered with Persian trim
ming. while black and blue and black
ard magenta were blended on various
evening gowns. Oriental embroiderles'
dull silver and gold tissues and gem
studded braids were also in evidence.
Garlands of flowers were used In trim
ming some Of the dresses, and one
dainty pink and cream gown was
shackled with ropes Of dainty little
roses yelled with chiffon.

Hens dread to get into dirty nest
boxes.
Boiled onions are good for chickens
and men.
The poultry house should be wh1ts
washed before cold weather.
The experienced poultryman breeds
only to his best winter layers.
Poorly bred stock OF any kind IL
never a great source of profit.
Start the trap nests SO that 1t can
be known which are the best winter
layers. :.
Work up a strain of hens that VIII
lay. Save the eggs from the best
layers and set them.
Rather than have the poultry house
overcrowded you had better eat SONS
of the less desirable BIRDS.
Owing to the difficulty OF securing
fresh eggs. most of the mining com.
panies in Mexico have their own pour

GUINEA FOWL EGG PRODUCER
Cross Between Pearl and White Seems
TO Make Harder and Larger
Bird Than Full Blood.

Last Spring I undertook to keep ar

says writer in Country Gentleman.
Inc two Pearl hens were broken up
and some eggs were lost early in the
season; though they laid nestfui Of
eggs and went to setting l did not find
the nest and so did not get an account
OF them, but feel safe in estimating
~ eggs lost for which l have no &C.
count. The hens got broken up and in
about three weeks I found them with
nest of 80 eggs. Counting the ones
lost at 40, this brings my account up
to 2O8 eggs for three hens. l feel sure
that the two Pearl hens laid four-fifths
OF the 208 eggs, which would make
them 80 eggs each. The white hen
did not lay many eggs. I expect to
get at least 40 eggs yet before cold
weather.
Guinea hens will usually lay from
April until late in October and if kept
broken up when they get broody, they
VIII lay nearly every day. The white
hens do not seem to be nearly as
good egg producers as the Pearls, at
least my white hens have not done as
good a business as the Pearl hens A
cross between the two breeds seems
to make harder and larger guinea
than full blood of either.

Chicken-Llce Experiments.

Chicken lice will live off the fowls
body for considerable length of time
and specimens of the wandering lice
have been kept alive in boxes by ex
perimenters for period Of nine or ten
months by simply giving them a sup
ply of fresh feathers at regular inter
walls. On the clothing Of poultry pick
ers the lice will sometimes live fol-
several days. 1t is not believed by the
entomologists that the bird lice com
monty attack cattle or horses, as they
have often been credited with doing
In nearly every case the lice found on
animals said to be SO affected were
mammalian lice and not bird lice.

same type of house that saw on the
netghboring farm, containing 500 OF
selected breeders which were being
trap-nested; the rest Of the hens were
sheltered in the same style of house,
writes F. A. Tiffany, in Country Gen
tleman. / also noticed about 1000 as
good-looking pullets as l ever saw
There were also about 1000 cock
erels, of which the owner. intended to
pick the best for breeding purposes,
and dispose of the remainder as broil-
ers.
What appealed to me most was the
cleanness Of the houses and the nam
moth incubator which held 5000 eggs
Being used to oil-heated incubators
myself, was somewhat skeptical, SO
asked the owner several questions as
to the regulation of the heat in the
different chambers; l received the as
surance that the machine did the
work nicely and at big saving in
fuel. On leaving the station bound
for home, / noticed a goodly number
OF crates Of eggs and poultry, and
found that this farm alone was ship
ping eight crates of eggs and four
coops Of broilers. These eggs were
produced that day, as they were
shipped every evening and the eggs
arrived in New York and were sold
before they were day old
Not only was this breeder success
full as poultryman, but as a farmer
also, his fields Of corn, alfalfa and
mangel beets looking very well con
sidering the dry weather. The corn
was the best-looking field that I saw
on my trip through that portion of the
state. 1 was told that the owner
would not have to buy any food fol-
his fowls except meat scraps, this
alone saving the greater part Of his
expenses. The appearance Of the
plant in general and the condition OF
the stock and the quantity of produce
shipped showed without doubt that
the ownsr Of this farm was deriving
a profit from his plant.

REVIVAL OF "GREEK BATH
Beauty Doctors Are Recommending II
Said to Have Splendid Effect
on the Skin.

If the skin happens to be dry and
harsh, have you tried the soothing and
smoothing effect of the so-called Greek
bath? This was favorite remedy of
the ancients and has been revived by
modern beauty doctors.
Mix seven tablespoonfuls Of pure
olive oil and one of lavender water
and rub 1t well into the entire body.
Apply a little at a time and rub in
well with the palms of the hand,
using circular motion.
To get the best effects from this
bath the body should be kept very
warm during the rubbing. If hot
cloths are applied first to open the
pores more of the oil will be absorbed
Take the baths three nights in sue
cession, then stop for week and take
the series again as necessary. The
skin quickly improves.

CARE OF TURKEYS IN FALL
When Weather Begins to Turn Cold
Grain Ration of Bird Should Be
Increased.

AS soon as the weather begins to
turn cold and food becomes scarce
the grain ration Of growing turkeys
should be increased. A mixture of
wheat and corn is advisable, fed
spartngly at first and gradually in
creased till they are getting all they
will eat. The turkeys at this season
should be fed regularly three times a
day. They should on no account be
kept In confinement, but should have
free range to encourage the forma-
ton Of good frame on which to ac-
cumulate large amount Of flesh later
when forced feeding commences
While free range conduces to vigor
and growth, birds having grain feed
will not run OF all fat in too siren
uous search for sustenance.
Those designed for heavy feeding
should be in the best condition after
an abundance of exercise and plenty
of grain feed throughout the early
fall. AS soon as they are well accus-
toned to grain feed they may be fed
once or twice or even trice day, az
their condition indicates, on ground
oats with hulls removed) and corn
meal mixed with milk. Feed only the
amount of this they will eat up clean
with a relish. This mash should be
given in addition to full feed of
wheat and corn night and morning.
The mash may either be given at
noon or at two regular intervals be-
tween the morning and night meal.
Plenty of grit and fresh water should
be before them at all times.
The quality Of the flesh is vastly
improved by adding tallow or some
form of fat to the mash during the
last week Of fattening. Old corn Is
the best for turkeys on heavy feed,
and IL necessary to use new corn it
should be given gradually and the
birds watched that it does not throw
them OF their feed. Liver trouble is
enc OF the turkey weaknesses, and
forced feeding should never continue
more than three weeks for best re-
suits. Birds designed for the Christ
mas market should be placed on feed

Cheap Cuff Links,

Cuff links of good quality are far
from inexpensive, and the inferior
ones mounted in brass are apt to
stain ones linen. A good substitute
is to purchase the pretty pearl but
tons which sell two for cents;
choose either the kind with shanks or
with holes. Whatever style is cho-
sen. bind them in pairs with loop of
silk cord to form sleeve links. They
will be found serviceable and neat.
Buttons that have been tubbed are
not so desirable, as washing destroys
the luster of the pearl.
