LATEST FAD IN NEGLIGEES
Vassar Robe Is Cut Along Old Lines,
snd Yet Is Something of a
Novelty.

Neatest and newest in long negli-
gees for girls is the Vassar robe OF
dark blue cashmere or fannelette,
which Is made with deep yoke and
three-quarter straight sleeves cut in
one, the seven-gored skirt being so
sharply slanted that it fits without full
ness into the yoke. Also made with
cut in one piece sleeves is square
necked, center-seamed back negligee.
This model, which is prettiest when
developed in some soft worsted or silk
en- fabric and bordered with fancy rib
bon, has narrow underarm forms In
addition to four full length cores. A
diagonal front, closing at the waist
line, shows a pointed guimpe of mus
lin embroidery matching the under
sleeves, supplementing the cloth ell
bow sleeves, which are slashed half
way to the shoulders.
An attractive modification of the
kimono has three shoulder plaits in
front ard a bias back attached to a
bolero-shaped deep yoke. The bell
sleeves, the loose fronts and the girdle
are bordered with narrow ribbon. This
model Is dainty in albatross Of pale
tint, bordered with white satin ribbon
or of white chudda with colored rib
bon. On Americanized lines Is pref
ty kimono which Is closely plated
across the shoulders at front and back
and is charming when developed in
white crepe de chine or pongee lined
with tinted cashmere and having fac
inas cuffs and sash of soft silk match
ing the shade of the lining.
Pongee is a favorite material for
Pullman robes of regulation Japanese
shape. supplemented by hood which
will completely conceal disheveled
locks, and a capacious pocket for toll
let articles. In this connection 1t may
be said that Pullman robe should be
of some light shade, as in case of ac-
clio snt the wearer Is more likely to be
noticed and consequently promptly
rescued.

MAKING MONEY IN POULTRY

Besides dairying have at present 700
laying hens, says a writer in an ex-
change. They are not laying as well
at present as they did last year. What
| mean by last year is that my year
runs from December to December.
Last year from December, 1909, to De-
cember, 1910, l had 600 laying hens;
on December 1, 1909, had 691a dozens
of eggs; December 8, S51A dozens Of
eggs; December 16, 1861 dozens Of
eggs, and SO on; but did not have
that many hens the whole year, as
kill every week and when spring
comes l sell some, and I am sure
did not average 500 hens for the year.
The receipts of my poultry for the
years, including broilers, some squads,
25 ducks, and three geese, Melted me

$1,434.45, leaving $564.95 for poultry

brooders outdoors in small yards, 16

as they get older. Last season we
raised some 600 chicks, and most OF
them when three weeks old sold at
Is cents each. This is a good way to
do, as they do not have to be fed
long, and there is less loss from
hawks, rats, etc. We find a ready
market for all we can raise.

trough is placed feed and q vessel Of
water. The lid can be held up by a
button at top while feeding and wa

of woven wire, which allows all drop
pings to fall through.
A door is placed in center of the
back so that one can reach any por-
ton Of coop to get bird when
wanted. Legs are one and one half by

are made long enough to bring
the bottom Of coop about two feet
from the ground, which brings the
feeding trough to convenient height

trouble has been to get them to live

Review. We tried several ways, but
failed until we made our useful brood

of old boxes, that is, we made them
over with lumber. The boxes cost 20
cents each, and two of them made

Winter Enns.

To secure eggs in winter, several
things must be borne in mind. The
hen can make eggs with about the
same proportion of tissue building
and fat forming feed that the dairy
cow requires to make milk. In addi-
ton to this she must have meat in
some form, not large amount, but
enough to simulate summer condi-
lions, and substitute the insects OBJ
tainable at that season. Succulent
vegetables are also necessary; not so
much on account of the actual nu-
trients they contain, for they contain
very little, but because their addition
to the diet causes a much larger per-
centage of the nutrients in grains to
be assimilated than without them

Several months ago I was taken very
sick with bladder trouble, had intesSNe
pains and suffered greatly, at times
could not stand on my feet or sit in o
chair and often was forced to cry suit
with pain.
I consulted two doctors who gave me
different kinds of medicine, which did mo
no good. 1t seemed as though the more
of their medicine [ took, the worse l be-
came. The doctors seemed to be greatly
puzzled over my case and after holding
consultation, l was told that l had a
severe case of inflammation of the bladder
and an operation was very necessary.

hospital, when a neighbor came to my
house and said, ''NNhy don't you try a
bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root?" 1
was willing to try anything to get relief
from my suffering. My wife bought bot
tie of your medicine which began taking
and soon noticed change for the better.
continued taking it and got better right
along, my appetite returned and I was
able to resume work.
I have used several bottles OF Swamp
Root and know that if had not taken it,
l would have been operated on, and per-
haps never recovered. l never fail to tell
my friends about DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root as know it will save many people
from suffering and perhaps, as in my
case, dangerous operation.

Hens for Breeding.

Every flock has a few hens that
seem to be just little above the or
binary run of the flock. These are
bright, active, happy and healthy and
moult earlier and quicker than the re-
mainder of the flock. They begin to
lay before the others, and keep it up
all winter and spring when eggs are
worth the most. These are the hens
to use as breeders, and this should
be done by all means.
