Owing to the dislike of the Great
ures for new and unfamiliar surround.
ings, it is advisable in many cases to
provide breeding pool for them In
order that the young may establish
themselves where they are Wanted.
A shallow pool of cement, having
small but constant water supply is
sufficient. Stagnant water is better
than running water from the stand
point of the toad raiser.
The young toads will leave tho
water by midsummer or before mos
quitoes become abundant, and the
pool should then be drained to pre-.
vent mosquito breeding. A small in
door aquarium protected from mos.
quitoes by screens, may prove moro
satisfactory than an outdoor pool.
Supply with fresh water plants and
clans, and feed the toads with bits
of dog biscuit or chopped fresh meat
as needed. Do not feed more of any
food than the toads and tadpoles will
consume, or the water will become
contaminated. The outdoor pool can
be screened against mosquitoes, II
desired, provided the toads are fed.
For garden shelters. make shallow
holes in the ground and cover with
fiat stones or boards. The toads will
retire into these in the daytime and
come forth at dusk for their nightly
forays.
Toads are especially valuable to
greenhouse men. keeping down slugs,
snails, sow bugs, plant lice and such
destructive insects.

RETURN TO LACE BLOUSE
WelI-Dressed Women Realize the Pos
slbillties of This Most Charm
Ing Garment.

The Irish lace blouse. simply fash
toned to show the beautiful pattern Of
the lace, is a great favorite still with
we'll dressed women, and there is ev-
cry indication that the summer vogue
of real lace will be carried far into
the coming season. Many Of the new
est evening gowns are deliberately
f1ounced with lace.
At the moment one Of the most fash
ionable laces is chantilly, which has
endless possibilities as a yelling. A
very favorite combination is black and
white, and the smart afternoon frock
and evening toilet is carried out in
white charmeuse or crepe, yelled with
fine black chantilly. Sometimes the
tunic is of chantilly, and instead Of
clinging to the tight-ftting skirt Of
yesterday this lace tunic meets frock
of valenciennes frills or deep fiounce
of chantilly.
Irish point de venise and filet are
used for fiat trimmings, and some very
charming effects are produced in fine

which is intended to hold ordinary
milk crooks for feeding the calves. In
these crooks can be placed the skim
milk for the calves and with 1t any
grain ration that may be desirable t.
give them. The particular stanchioI
from which this picture was taken
was owned by man who had great
faith in Kaffir corn as a grain ration
for his calves. His custom was to
place the feed of Kafir corn in the
crock with the milk, and let thu
calves do the rest. These crooks are
easily emptied and easily cleaned,
while the calves are not using them
they can be left in place for the sun,
shine to purify and cleanse.
The estimated cost of this ca4,
stanchion where all materials must BIZ
purchased, is about $3.50. This pro
provides for stanchion large enough
to accommodate six calves, though
the cut shows provision for only four.
Of course, the stanchion can be made
as long or as short as may be desired
and on most farms the material nee
essary Is already at hand. In sucA
cases the cost would be nothing morn
than the labor of construction. Tho
drawing is so clearly made that per
haps no further details are necessary
about the method of building, and any
man who is handy with tools can con.
struct this stanchion in very short
time and have it in operation.
The results of experimental work
in calf feeding at the Kansas ex
pertinent station have been pub
lished in the form of bulletins, and
may be had by addressing that instt

A FINE NIGHT-cAP
The Best Thing in the World to Go to
Bed and Sleep On.

"My wife and I find that teaspoon.
fuls of Grape-Nuts and a cup of hot
milk, or some cream, with it, makes

an Allegheny, Pa, man.

led by racking headache and back
ache, every time tried to eat any

pressure from my professional duties,

my work altogether.
Then l put myself on a diet OF
Grape-Nuts and cream alone, with an
occasional cup of Postum as runner
up, and sometimes little dry toast. I

Home Made Calf stanchIon.

There Is money In calves raised by
equip himself, 1t is believed to be
more profitable in every way to raise
calves by hand than to let them run
with the dams. This has been DEM
onstrated over and over, but because
of the slightly additional amount of
work necessary 1t is not practiced so
often as would really be profitable,
Bays the Kansas Farmer. There are
many cases, Of course, where emer.
gencies demand that the calf be raised
by hand. There are more cases
where this could be done profit
ably If 1t were undertaken In the right
way.
One of the conveniences which is
desirable in the development of calves
by hand feeding is the stanchion
shown in the accompanying cut. 1t
does not require long to train the
calves so that they will go OF their
own accord to their proper places and
the stanchion Is so easily and so
cheaply built that it does not pay to
do without It.
AS shown in the cut, 1t is intended
to be built into and as a part of the
fence surrounding the calf pasture.
The materials necessary are some Q
by As for the frame work, and some
barrel slaves for the upright pieces
which enclose the calves heads
These barrel slaves are placed in
such manner that one Of them which
fits about the calfs neck is movable
at the upper end. The lower end is
held in place by a 20-penny nail driven
through the center of the stave SO
that it may act as hinge and allow
the upper end to move freely for the
Insertion and removal of the calfs
head.
On the outside of the stanchion,
which is part of the calf's pasture
fence, is placed a rack as shown in
