FOR SHAWL scARFS
ons ,f The Prettiest and Most Sensible
of the Present Seasons
Fashions.

Silk damasks are used in the fash
foning of the broad shawl scarfs that
are fashionable. They have the air
of having once covered sofas and
chairs of the grand monarch period.
These scarfs are SO ample that
when wound about the figure they are
as warm as a coat. The colors are ex.
ouisite. A. blurred design in Japanese
red. which has all the romance of the
east in it, is most effective. A mel
low thistle blue shade and a peculiar
green that is named after the Nile, yet
which makes the old-fashioned Nile
green seem inspired. is used with ex-
cellent effect.
These are often bordered with mara
bou and are often thrown over the
shoulders with the defiant abandon OF
the Spaniard's cloak.

PLANS
O PROFIT
Conservation Of Soil Fertility
by Rotations Together With
Applications of FertiI.
tiers Overlooked.

Few farmers realize the difference
in income that may be produced on
their farms by the systematic intro
duction and rotation of clover or
other leguminous crops owe the en-
tire area of their tillable land. The
planning of rotations to meet certain
feed requirements and to grow crops
which shall be the greatest income
producers under given conditions is
a problem that Is not easily solved
by all the tillers of the soil. The con-
servation of soil fertility by appro-
pirate rotations together with appli-
cations Of manures and fertilizers in
such manner as will maintain a per-
manent system of agriculture has been
largely overlooked by farm owners in
the past. Farmers Bulletin $40 ae
sists the farmer in solving these diff
ficulties, and a copy may be had free
on application to a member of con-
gress or TO the secretary of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c. The bulletin

TO COVER THE FURNITURE
cretonne Slips Are Among the Pref
test Things That Can Be Used
for This Purpose.

Few women realize how pretty and
practical are furniture covers made
from c%retonne and other figured
material, or more housewives would
make use of such slips in renovat1ng
old and worn furniture. Incidentally,
these modern slips" can be made by
a woman who has had any experience
in cutting patterns. find that
models for chair covers, etc., can be
best made by cutting a design from
three-cent cambria and fitting 1t
snugly with pins to the furniture.
When the exact dimensions of each
piece are complete in cambria these
trial Slips must be unpinned and
laid on the material from which the
Slips are to be constructed.
It is not necessary to bind the
seams in these slips. Indeed. in a
figured fabric the effect of such seams
is undesirable. On plain, ~dun-colored
fabrics life is introduced by the use
of red or blue braid on the seams.
With figured goods, French scanning
is best. 1t makes a firm and neat
finish, and obviates the use Of an
other color.
In slip covers the frame of the
furniture is hidden by the material.
They are precisely what they are
called, "slips," which easily can be
large enough to allow for shrinkage
when first washed.-Pittsburg Gazette

The open-Front Hen House.

4 The accompanying illustration shows
one of the cu%rtain-front houses in use
ut the Maine experiment station. Fresh
air has been a big consideration in the
building Of this house, which has a
curtained front to the house proper
and a cu%rtain-front ~roosting room. Pro-
lessor Gowell, expert in charge of
poultry raising at this station, has
found this method of ventilation very
satisfactory.
The building is 12O feet long and 16
feet wide. The front wall is 6 2-3 feet
and the rear wall 5h feet high from
the floor to the top Of the plate. The
roof is of unequal span, the ridge be-
Ing four feet in from the front wall,
and the height Of the ridge above the
floor Is nine feet. The stills are 4x6
Inches and rest on a rough stone wall.
The floor, consisting of two thick
nesses of hemlock boards, rests on
2x8inch timbers, which are placed two
feet apart. The rest of the frame Of
the building consists of 2x4-inch ma
terial. The building is boarded, pa
pered and shingled on both roof and
walls, and In addition the rear wall
and four feet of the lower part of the
rear roof are ceiled on the inside Of
the studding and the space packed
with dry sawdust. Outside of the
building a three-foot platform extends
across the ends and along the front.
The house is divided into four 30x16-
foot pens. In the front side of each
pen are two twelve-light windows and
a door az feet wide. The space be-
tween the window and door comes
close up to the caves, leaving an un-
broken front three feet high below the
caves. The opening is 3x14 feet and is
covered by a wooden frame, covered
with ten-ounce duck. This curtain is
hinged at the top and is swung In
when opened, and 1t is always kept
open, except on stormy days and win
ter nights. Each pen is of suitable
size to accommodate 100 fowls, thus al
lotting 4.8 square feet of floor space
to each bird.
A roost platform four feet ten inches
wide and three feet above the floor ex
tends along the rear side for the entire
80 feet. Three perches of 2x3-inch ma
terial are placed on edge ten inches
above the platform. The rear perch is
II inches out from the wall, and the
space between the perches is 16 inches
which leaves Is inches between the
front perch and the duck curtain. The

HAY GRADES
ARE FIXED
Timothy Has Lead, Especially
Among City Feeders, Because
II Is Not Only Nutritious
but PaIata bic.

The rules of the National Hay asso-
citation recognize % grades of hay,
which seems to fall into five classes
timothy, clover, mixed timothy and
clover, wild grasses and alfalfa. Choice
timothy hay must be sound, properly
cured, of bright natural color not
mixed with more than one-twentieth
of other grasses, and well baled. Low.
er grades Of timothy are Nos. 1, 2 and
8 and mo grade" Clover hay has
two grades, No. 1 and No. 2. No. l
clover must be medium clover, sound,
properly cured, not mixed with more
than one-twentieth of other grasses
and well baled. Choice alfalfa hay
must be reasonably fine, leafy alfalfa
of bright green color, properly cured.
sound, sweet and we'll baled. Other
grades of alfalfa are Nos. 1, 2 and 3
and mo grade" These rules are used
by most cities that have official in
spection.
A large percentage Of the timothy
on the market is graded below No. I.
The reasons are that many meadows
are cut for years until they become
weedy and mixed with other grasses,
and that the hay is often cut too late,
so that It loses the bright natural col.
or and palatability.
Timothy has the lead, especially
among city feeders, because 1t Is not
only nutritious but palatable and non
laxative, and the horse is not likely to
overfeed. Nevertheless, other kinds of
hay would often prove better for the
feeder. Alfalfa, for instance, has high
muscle-building qualities and is espe-
cially valuable for draft horses. It is
highly relished, however. and the
horse may overfeed.

Ten MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
"Toronto STAR" Dec. 18th, 1910.

liz PASuASSAOA 10 uAduO LudL O0IOr0
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, AL
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people. It is made not by
a sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper.
the New York Commercial. It is
based upon actual observation, upon
he heat-growing capacity of the Ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
of development following the build
ing OF railways. The writer shows
how the position Of leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-grow-
ing belt is four times greater than
that of the United States, and only
five per cent of Canada's western agrt4
cultural area is under cultivation.
There are z 1000, 900 acres of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center OF food supremacy will change
to Canada, and Is years more will
give this country 100000, 900 popula.
ton west of Ontario.
All these estimates of population
are in the nature Of guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area Of wheat-growing land,
the rapid construction Of railways,
and the large volume of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production of an
ever-increasing surplus Of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the industrial and commercial
population of Canada may increase,
the increase of home consumption is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
of the production of wheat; for a sin
gle acre of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption of four
people.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead of consumption at a
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States is o%vertaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export Ia
growing smaller year by year. 1t il
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wheat is as yet far away.
By methods Of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail in France, the produc.
tion could be greatly increased. But
with the over1owing granary Of Can
ada SO close at hand, it seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to i'm.
port from us, turning their own en-,
ergies more largely to other forms OF
agriculture.
1t must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products, the resem
blance diminishes as you go south
ward. The wheat belt gives place to
a corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to
bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and other
tropical fruits.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES
