METHOD or DARNING FlLET
Details Must Have Particular Care II
Best Results Are to BE
Attained.

The net chosen Is a knotted flet,
vide meshed and fine. II possible, 1t
mould be hand Melted; many women
are netting their own filet before darn.
ing 1t. For both small and large artI-
cies the net must be stretched over
small hand frame, such as may be
purchased In any art needlework
store, SO as to keep 1t taut. The EN-.
hroidered piece Is sifted on and rolled
up as each section of 1t Is worked.
The design is not stamped on the
back but the worker lays the pattern
IN 'front.' and, counting the meshes
repeats the design on the net before
her. Just as in cross stitching, the
counting must be absolutely exact, and
there is great deal OF 1t, a thing
which the amateur must be careful to
observe.
The stitches resemble close and
even darning, and the thread is pass
I'd alternately under and over the
meshes until each square In turn Is
filled up. Designs may be taken from
old examples of the work from ma
chine made lace, much of which Is
copied from old pieces in museums
which could never be seen by the or.
binary worker
The beginner would better start by
copying sample done In the same
thickness of thread Later on can
come monographs. crests and figures of
men and animals. A beautiful bed
spread can be made of squares OF this
darned flet alternated with squares
of eyelet.
For a big piece a number of per.
sons might join, each doing a certain
number Of squares. Here, again, is q
hint for the bridetobe each square
from different friend, with the
friends initials embroidered In one
corner.

The Herpicide Girl is Thankful.

am always grateful for real bless
inss, and know of nothing that
need to be more thankful for than
Newbro's Herpicide. Thousands of
ladies pot only in the United States
but all over the world feel the same
way about it. To this wonderful
scalp and hair remedy they owe their
soft. long, beautiful hair.
Mary J. Terry, of Lovejoy, Ill.
writes: My hair came out until
there was just scanty cover for the
scalp, | tried everything / ever heard
of or read about until finally used
Herpicide. There is nothing like it.
My head is now covered with new
hair | shall forever praise Herpi-
eide"
Most hair troubles come from dan
druff Newbro's Herpicide removes
this dandruff by killing the germ
which causes it. 1t also stimulates
flow OF blood which nourishes the
follicles. The scalp being healthy,
the hair does not come out and the
new hair is allowed to grow.
There are other preparations
which they say are Just as good" as
FIerpicide 1t is not advisable to
try them Instead of doing any good
they may do positive harm.
No one is ever disappointed in
Newbro's Herpicide. The results are
always the same, always satisfactory
as is indicated by the fact that Her.
picide has been sold for years and
has thousands of satisfied friends. 1t
is the only genuine, original dandruff
germ destroyer There Is nothing

Clean up the poultry yard.
Sow patch OF cowpeas near the
poultry yard
II is a mistake to try to keep more
than one variety OF chickens.
II the hens lay soft-Hhelled eggs,
It Is a sign they need some lime and
green food.
Always save the young ducks that
make the best growth for next sea-
sons breeders.
Select the breeders carefully from
the best matured fowls and those that
lay most freely
When only few fowls are to be
sold, the home market is usually the
most satisfactory
The hens that are laying freely
need an abundance Of good. clean
water at all times.
warm, dry board floor that can
be easily cleaned Is the right place
to keep the chicks.
Kerosene Is great disinfectant to
be used In the roosts and nests. II
Is cheap and effective
Milk ia a splendid feed to force
young chicks or stimulate hens To
greater egg production.
Hens for incubation should be Of a
quiet disposition and on friendly
terms with their keeper.
Late chicks should always have q
shady place away from the older ones
and at some distance from the fowls
II the old tom turkeys are cross
, and seem inclined to attack the young
ones, the former should be placed In
yards
Keep the drinking vessels in the
shade these hot days Even then II
will be necessary to renew the supply
Of water often.
Do not try to force nature. In at.
ting young fries for the market give
the chicks proper food, freedom from
lice and nature will do the rest.

PROPER CARE OF DUcKLlNGS
Hen Should Be Confined Until Young.
sters Reach Age When They Can
Be Left unbrooded at Night.

II ducklings are to be raised with
hens, IL Is necessary to confne the
hen until the ducklings have reached
an age when they can safely be left
unbrooded at night In a very few
days the ducklings will wean them
selves by refusing to follow the old
hens persuasive cueks; at frst she
follows them. but soon, growing
weary of this, she takes up with the
flock, and the ducklings become
stunted from lack OF brooding at
night Have roomy. bottomless
coop, with good roof, covered with
broad mesh poultry netting or slat-
ted In front Move the coop to fresh
grass each day. The wire front
should come clear to, or very near
the ground. az the ducks are apt to
sprain their legs In climbing over
board TO get In the coop.
When the ducklings are old enough
to be weaned. try and get them to
take up With the older ducks.
Give green food and sand every day
after the first. A sod of grass In
front Of the coop-if that is on plow-
ed ground-will afford them much
pleasure and lettuce is their delight
Chopped onion tops, dandelions or
lettuce may be mixed with the food.
Water should always be beside
them In cup too small for them to
get in, but deep enough to cover the
holes In the beak, as these are their
breathing places, and II clogged.
death will result A duck will take
bite OF food, and run to the water.
"A breeder complained that his
ducks were dying. Inquiry showed
that the ducks had absolutely no shsl-
ter from the sun, and, OF course, thoy
died. II ducklings are kept clean,
dry and well fed, there Is very little
loss among them. Rats are the worst
enemy they have to deal with, as an
old Eat loves tender duckling, bet
ter even than chicken.

BRIGHT PARASoLs AND SHOES
Dainty Summer Frocks Offset and
Made Attractive by Other
Wearing Apparel.

Dainty summer frocks are greatly
improved In the wearing by contrast,
with bright colored parasols and
shoes. This fad for coIored shoes
seems to Increase rather than waneI
with every week Of the advancing
season. Satin seems to be the favor
tie material for the shoes, half shoes
and pumps, though there are some
shown in the suede. A heavy quail,
ity OF rajah is one OF the novelties
in shoes, while MORE continues in
favor, and leather is seen only at
long intervals.
One charming frock. built OF white
wolfe. had touches of violet at the
waist and throat. With 1t were worn,
deep purple pumps, with stockings
to match. Violets were clustered on
the broad white hat, and long-handled
parasol Of purple silk, with border
Of black and white plaid taffeta, COM
pleted the striking ensemble.
Kings blue Is fashionable in com.
bination with white. A while dress
Of dull silk, with overdress OF kings
blue chiffon, was worn with the new
Dolly Madison pumps, adorned with
cut steel buckles. The pumps were
