Notes and Personals
A brilliant reception and dance was
given Wednesday evening at Dellwood
park In compliment to the guests at
tending the Farmers Congress. Each
out-of-town person was made to feel
welcome, and this affair gave oppor-
tunity to everyone to get acquainted
with each other. The Harris orches-
ira furnished good music for the even
ing, and dainty dance programs were
distributed, numbering sixteen dances
and seven extras. The grand march
was gracefully led by Miss Resale
Doremus and Mr.. Will Saunders. The
occasion was most delightful In every
respect and was very largely attended.
Miss Freddie Brown, after week
spent with relatives and friends here
has gone to Birmingham, Ala, where
she will spend some time before re
turning to her home at Montgomery.

capons Pay Best.

A few years ago capons were sell
dom found on sale except in some
of the more exclusive markets. In
the largest cities. This was largely
because poultry raisers have only In
recent years learned that caponizing
insures not only higher price per
pound for their fowls, but an increase
In weight for each bird. A capon not
infrequently attains weight of from
fourteen to sixteen pounds, or prac-
tically twice that of the ordinary
rooster of the same breed. And with
other conditions similar the meat is
always sweeter, always tender and
usually just fat enough to make a
good appearance and readily salable
at from four to six cents pound
above that of ordinary poultry.

Feeding Whole Grain.

The whole grain should be strewn
among some light litter, like leaves
or cut straw, so that the birds must
scratch for all they get. This exer-
else is needed. The grain should be
given at least an hour before time for
them to go to their roost, so that
ample time is given them to hunt. If
thus fed in scratching shed the
fowls will continue their search the
next morning at break of day, and
the attendant will find them hard at
work when he comes around to give
them their breakfast.

FORCING FOWLS FOR MARKET
Good Judgment and Proper Manage.
ment Essential In Fattening
Poultry-keep Pens Dark.

To fatten poultry quickly and prof
itably requires good judgment and
proper management in the care of
the fowls and proper feeding. The
best foods are bits of fat meat,
mashes of meal or fine grits made
from yellow corn, with skim milk;
boiled potatoes, rice and oatmeal and
milk. If anything, oatmeal is prefer
able because of its greater heating
qualities and its effect on color or fat.
The main point to keep in view is to
fatten your fowls in the shortest
time possible. To do this they should
be in coop or pen, where they can
not take much exercise, for by exer-
else they work off flesh and keep
down fat. A good way is to confine
them to small, light coops made Of
lath or wire netting. These may sit
out in the back yard or barnyard, on
well-drained ground. In case of rain
or damp weather cover them with
oilcloth. Keep the pen dark during
the daytime. except when the fowls
are exiting, by throwing thick COW
ering over the coops, such as old
carpets, blankets or quilts. This will
prevent the fowls from stirring about
between meals. In the morning give
them boiled potatoes, mashed while
hot and thickened with corn meal
with little salt and pepper for sea.

They should be fed three times a
day, and their bill of fare varied as
much as possible, but with a large
proportion of starchy heat and fat

stuff should be given them, though
pumpkin or squash may take the
place of boiled potatoes occasionally
Fresh bedding should be supplied
frequently, and the coop and spot 1t

TuIle Trimmings.

Very spring like, indeed, and very
pleasant change from the heavy win
ter trimmings. are the soft, fluffy hat
trimmings of tulle which some of the
smart French chapeaux show.
Usually the tulle or maline is in a
hue to match the color of the hat,
though occasionally one notes white
tulle on a black hat, or the reverse
ar effect which is always most strik-
ing.
To completely cover the whole top
of the hat was one milliner's idea,
though other chapeaux show plaitings,
choux or soft folds. This soft, filmy
drapery always gives hat a light,
airy and graceful effect which is be-
coming to many types of women.
