COVERS FOR SOFA CUSHIONS
Directions for Making Them So They
Don't Need Sewing After Pillow
Is Put In.

Make almost all sofa cushion covers,
so there is no necessity for sewing
them on after putting the pillow in.
The front for the pillow is the square
of the required size. The back is in
two pieces, each half about two to
three inches wider than half the front
square, and with one long edge on
each-if possible. the selvage edge.
Place these two pieces on the front
with outside edges even, selvages
overlapping through the center, right
sides together, and sew the seam all
around the edge. Turn Through the
open slit where the selvages GOMEZ
and finish with row of stitching on
the right side. Make this row of
stitching as far from the edge as you
like, If you have allowed for 1t In cut
ting out, as 1t gives a nice hem all
around the edge Of the pillow. The
pillow is slipped in through the slit,
and If the edges Of it have enough
overlap 1t is held perfectly and needs
no buttoning or sewing.

Automatic Chick Feeder.

down to science and everything in
the way Of sanitation counts, just as it
does in the preserving Of human life.
An Illinois man has devised an auto
matte feeder and fountain which keeps
the water, grain, grit. ETC., that is fed
to the little fowls clean and whole
some. 1t also regulates the supply, so
that they do not gobble it all up at
once. The feature Of the fountain Is
a glass reservoir, for which purpose
fruit can can be used as well as any
thing else. This Jar Is filled with wa
ter or feed, and the pan that forms
the bottom Of the fountain placed on
top. The jar is then inverted, bring
ing the pan right side up. The jar
rests On raised portions of the pan,
and the contents Of the reservoir flow
from it gradually as the chickens de-
plenish the supply in the pan.

IMPROVE THE POULTRY FLOCK
Colorado Agricultural College Expert
Suggests Practical Way to Sc
cure Best Stock. sS s.

W. E. Vaplon Of the Colorado sAgri-
cultural college, has suggested a good
way to improve the poultry stock.
Twenty hens In colony house about
7x9 out In the orchard, with yard
about 30 feet square, will furnish q
setting of eggs per day during the sea-
son, which is about all the average
farmer will care to use. Keep two
males for this pen, changing every few
days. The right kind Of cock bird
is too unselflsh for his own good and
will call the hens to eat all the good
things while he goes hungry; shut
ting him up few days and feeding
him will keep him in better condi-
ton.
This plan eiso prevents fighting and
will mean more fertile eggs. Weight,
vigor, appearance Of the flock, laying
qualities, all will be greatly improved
and the infertile eggs produced by the
balance of the flock will keep better
during warm weather, and will be
much better for putting away for next
winter. n

RUFFLE OF THE PETTIC0AT
Il Is Far From Being Simple Affair
and Deserves tho Needlewom-
ans Careful Attention.

Think you that the ruffle of petit.
coat is a simple affair unworthy Of
thought? Then you err grievously. as
witness the following:
1t may be tucked horizontally, with
the edge left plain or bordered with
lace.
1t may be tucked vertically-an un'
usual and attractive arrangement
with the edge treated as before.
1t may have these vertical tucks in
terspersed with lace or embroidered
insertions, in block effect.
1t may be a vandyke ruff1e, with a
narrow hemstitched edge, and vertical
tucks running up and down the trt
angular sections
1t may be scalloped, with button.
holed edge and fat coin spot in the
middle OF each scallop. This is espe-
cially good for petticoats of flannel or
other heavy fabrics:-
1t may, finally, be only plain little
hemstitched rufle, demure but service
able, and extremely easy to make.
So look we'll to the petticoat ruffle;
II has its possibilities, and nothing is
too small to engage the attention Of
the conscientious needlewoman.

modern and attractive and in every

There are many things about this
little city to astonish the visitor and
his only conclusion will be that the
prevailing sentiment is elevated,
philantAropic, refined and progress

control things in Wausau are looking
for something beyond the mere sell
fish accumulation of a few dollars
and cents. They are making and
have made a place which must at
tract intelligent and decent people

large and prosperous city. Such an
atmosphere is of immense advantage

Individual hens, as with people, they

a day, or even every other day, will
consume considerable more food than
one that is not laying at all. Early

fed, they are making growth as well
as eggs, so don't stint LIEN, and If
they don't lay quite as soon as you
