Many persons have formed dislike
for peanut butter because of its ten

1t might be mentioned also that pea

poured out into trays two feet wide

made of galvanized one-fourth-inch-

etful of the oats everyday piling the
trays on top of each other until we
have four or five.
Meanwhile we must thoroughly stir
the oats in each tray every day and
wet with water. The oats will, nc
doubt, heat some; and this makes
them sprout fast, but If they have a
tendency to get too hot, cold water
could be used to keep them cool. By

perhaps one-half to one inch long.

cBy LLOYD MIsHLER.)

We have found the best method OF
feeding to be what is termed hopper
feeding. Practically all the feed is in
the dry form. For small chicks up to
eight weeks old we have never found
anything which will put on more
growth than the high-class grades OF
commercial chick feeds.
For the first few days ! sprinkle
the smallest sizes Of this feed thick
ly where the young chicks are, so that
every time they pick they get grain.
AS soon as they begin to come out
side the coop, which is in two or three
days, all the feed is placed In hop
pers made on the same general prin-
ciple as our larger ones.
Many farmers neglect to furnish
their chicks with meat food. This Is
essential If one wants to get the prop
er amount of growth. 1t is best sup
piled In the form Of beef scraps. Don't
get cheap scrap. The best balances
the ration SO that you will get the
best possible benefit from the grain
feeds.
We place this in the hopper so the
chicks can help themselves. They dc
not eat more than they will need. The
feed hoppers should not be allowed
to get wet or the feed is liable to
spoil Good hoppers and little care

QUESTION OF JACKETS
SERIOUS PROBLEM WOMEN ARE
NOW CONFRONTED WITH.
Japanese Style of Garment Is mex
penslve and Well Suited to Every
day use-Eton Jacket of Fur
Is Newest.

The problem of keeping warm with
these cold days comes up for settle
ment to every woman. The fur coat
does not solve 1t, for 1t is entirely too
heavy for walking. It is very good for
evening, for trolleys and for motor
cars. but It wears out the strength, Of
any woman when it is used as steady
everyday garment.
The fur scarf, broad and long az 1t
is, does not keep the body sufficiently
warm for the open even over a cloth
coat. 1t is not the custom to wear
warm waists now; a woman has to be
dressed cool enough for our over
heated houses, and she must depend
on her outer wraps to protect her
from outdoor cold.
Many things have been tried for
warmth outside of the fur coat OF
course the Elton jacket of fur is the
newest garment. 1t has little weight
and then Elton jackets are coming
back into fashion. Yet every woman

NEW STYLES IN LINGERIE
Underwear Has Taken on More De.
cIded Attractions Than Usual.
This Season.

In the struggle for life this season
for at some time the lingerie has been
reduced to a minimum-underwear
has taken on more attractions than
usual. The well fitted models. the ex-
quisite embroidery and the fine mate
rails of which lingerie is now made
are convincing to the woman who is
searching for bargains.
The brides especially have the new
lingerie attractions. The fine mus
Inns without stiffening are as varied as
the morning hours are from the even
ing. They should be kept so, too,
which point is worth remembering
They are most durable when lace is
absent. In other words, IL you are
planning a sensible outfit to last more
than one year, use embroidery. Even
the finest swiss and batiste embroi-
derry outlasts lace. It can be used a
second time in many cases.
Flounces should not be too fun for
the spring and summer. The straight
skirt is slightly fuller, but does not
fare. It's straight lines must not be
interfered with by any underfiounce.
Corset covers Of allover embroidery
or wide fiouncing are very sensible for
the dressy kind. They should be cut
with little fullnes at the waist, for
the same reason that bulk has been
eliminated from the petticoat. The
fitted corset cover with the circular
peplum is the most satisfactory.
Nightgowns made on empire lines

clean and there is always feed ready
when the chick is hungry. How
much better than for the chicks to
go around half starved for several
hours and then when feed is finally
thrown out to them they will gorge
themselves.
We have often been able to get
from the baker a lot Of stale bread
(not moldy). This bread usually sells
at half price or less and is about as
cheap as the commercial chick feeds,
pound for pound. This bread Is
