THE COLONY PLAN.

y
There are some who do not under
stand just what is meant by the Co
lcny plan of housing poultry. 1t is
this: A munger of houses, placed at
certain distances apart. without d.
vision fences; each house to hold
the poultry of the same age, or
size.
Large, stationary houses, or small
movable ones may be used. The lat
ter are preferable for many reasons.
Many have success in building the
colony houses six by eight feet, height
in front six feet six inches, height in
back one foot less; two runners Of
AKA stuff are under the buildings,
thus rendering the moving, with a
good team, an easy matter. Such
houses cost about $14 for material,
at the Nrice it is here at present, and
a good days work for two men.
The east, west and north are all
interlined with lining felt; the roof
is made of some of the many good
kinds, thus shutting out all drafts
The south side has door, and
also large opening, or window.
closed with poultry netting only; as
the roof projects over a foot or IA
inches no cloth curtain is used,
This win insure good ventilation
without drafts; a curtain could cas-.
lily be added for use during very
stormy weather.
There is room enough in such a
house for 10 or 16 of the medium
sized breed fowls. The ease with
which such houses can be moved
will result in frequent removals, and
this is as fine for the hens house as
for the chick coop-Indiana Farmer

NOTES.

A prevention of the causes is the
best and the most effective way to
keep in check most of the poultry
troubles.
The hen and her family contribute
more than half a billion dollars every
year to our aggregate national
wealth.
The pullet that begins laying quite
early in life is not, as rule, wei
developed fowl. Good development il
preferable to early laying.
Give the poultry houses daily air
ing even on the coolest days, regulat
ing the period according to the sever
lily of the weather. Fresh air is a
tonic and if properly administered
will prove great aid in keeping the
fowls healthy.
Did you ever think how nice II
would be to photograph some of your
choicest birds and the value of such
pictures should you wish to advertise
your flock?
Bare spots on head and wings that
look little raw are a pretty good
indication of insect pests. Get after
them right off, If you may have some
dead birds before you know it.

FEMdNINE YANITIEs.

Little ruff1es to take the place OF
the deep flounce are one of the re.
turns to ancient styles. They are
used on the bottom of silk and gauze
frocks.
Velvet and silk the color OF the
material are to be more used this
winter than for years as trimmings
in the way of collars, cuffs, girdles,
xaistcoats, etc., for wool dresses.

THE oLp.TIME aBAlNc. Z


While the bang is back, it, like
most REVEALS, would scarcely be
recognized by it's forerunners OF the
late eighties.
No longer does one make herself a
fright with the severely plain fringe
of hair completely conceaing the fore
head and looking as If it had been
cut around a crock, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
The modern bang is loose, frizzy
fringe of curls worn along the top
of the forehead to soften the effect Of
masses of bought braids. Sometimes
1t is worn under the ribbon fillet, in

suits becomingness.
AS most women object to cutting
their own hair to suit a passing
fashion, no one should venture play.

hangs in the middle of the forehead.

For women with big foreheads and
hair scant on the temples the bang
is boon, as 1t is undeniably becom-
ing and softens the face.

POULTRY FARMING.

The raising of poultry is an indus
Try found on more farms in the Unit
ed States than any other. Most farm
ersi keep few chickens which find
their living from the waste products
of the farm. They are thus practical
" no expense and all of the product
IS profit. From thirty to seventy-five
hens can thus be kept ON an ordinary
farm. The magnitude of this form of
the industry is so great that it inter-
fers materially with the special poul-
try farm It is probable that more
failures are made in poultry farm
ing than in any other type OF farm
ing Undertaken by beginners, yet it
is decidedly one OF the best and
most profitable types of farming
when properly conducted. II is high
iy essential to begin in "a small way
IN order to learn the details of the
business before much capital is in

wAIsTLINEs GO DOWN.

The waistline will come this season
just where it belongs, writes Grace
Margaret Gould in the Woman's Home
Companion. The defining of the nor.
NAL waistline is now a feature of the
new fashions.
About the only exception to this is
in the Russian blouse coats, where
oftentimes the loose belt hangs well
below the waist The dresses in
Moyen Age effect will still appeal to
the popular trade, but they are no
longer high style. Among the good
looking dresses showing the Moyen
Age effect are those made of com
bination of heavy and sheer linen
the bodice portion OF the heavy linen
and the lower plated skirt portion
of sheer linen. In these dresses,
which are made with a guimpe, the
sleeves and guimpe are of the same
sheer linen as the plated skirt.
Sashes will be much worn, not only
around the normal waist, but as a
skirt trimming defining fiounce, for
instance, and tying at the back just
above the knees.
The sleeves, which were in our new
gowns last spring, will only be pres
entable this year after remodeling.
Sleeves are growing shorter and the
tendencies, are all toward the Danish
ing of the long sleeve for warm
weather. For general everyday wear
many odified bishop sleeves will be

length. But the majority of the new
sleeves end just below the elbow.
where they are finished with a fasci-
mating little undersleeve, frequently
in the form of very small, filmy
puff. Sleeves with a cap effect are
smart in style, and they vary greatly
in length, some are not more than
two inches long and others reach half
way down the arm. The little white
undersleeve Is most noticeable fea.
ture of the new sleeves. Sometimes
it protrudes only for a couple of
inches below an upper colored
sleeve, both of which are finished
with nothing more elaborate than a
half-inch hem or little bias self
facing. The majority of the sleeves
are extremely plain and inconspicu-

Perhaps that is the reason why the
new bracelets, many Of them in an
tique design, are so very elaborate.

THE FEAST OF PURIM,

The Feast OF Purim will be observed
by Jews on March 25. This festival
is in commemoratIon of the deliverance
of the Persian Jews from the plot Of
Himsn to exterminste them, "a re-
corded in TIE Book Of E ther. The feast,
which has always been held 10 high
esteem by the Jews, will be uahered in
by the familiar giettlng Of "Goot Yom
Tob." The holiday, centuries ago,
was merely of social nature, tu.
gradually II assumed religious features.
Like the Feast Of Hauukab, 1t has
never been considered a holy day, busi-
ness transactions and even manual
labor being allowed, although In some
places restrictions have been placed on
work. The religious ceremony ordained
for the celebration is the reading OF the
Book of Esther in the places OF worship.
Originally, however, the book was read
only on the fourteenth day of Adar, on
which day the Feast OF PurIm falls, but
Ia later years 1t bas also been read on
the eve Of the holiday. A festu 9 of the
holiday is the sending flood and clot {.
ing to the needy.
Before the Talmudic period many
quaint species of meTrimert we're in
dulged in; namely, mssquersding, sing
ing and dancing about an effigy Of
Hsmsn, which would be set on FIRE by
four or five young men. An smuiing
custom Of bygOne days is still observed
in the orthodox synsgogues during the
reading of the "Megillah." When the
name OF Hsmsn Is mentioned by the
reader, the boys of the congregation,
urged on by their elders, stamp their feet
