1t was the novel experience of the
Rev. Elmer E. Marshall, pastor Of the
North Avenue NJ. E. Church, Balti-
more, to hike to Annapolis from Bal
timore yesterday.
The preacher left Baltimore early
in the morning and walked all the
way. Along the road he tried to get
luncheon at several of the farm
houses, but without success. They
said they were too busy to eat. The
clergyman finally encountered the tent
of the State Boulevard officials and
was entertained at dinner by them.

First Methodist Episcopal Church,
with whom he took supper, and re-

at present as they did last year What
l 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 691s dozens
of eggs; December 9, 851z dozens of
eggs; December 16, 1862 dozens of
eggs, and so on; but l did not have
that many hens the whole year, as l
kill every week and when spring
comes 1 sell some, and l am sure l
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, netted me
a total of $2,019.40. The eggs sold for

so badly behind her ear that l really
thought her ear would come off. For

Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. 1 had to
keep her in a dark room for two

Winter Eggs.

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 a large amount, but
enough to simulate summer condi-
tons, and substitute the insects OBJ
tatnable 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.

OUTFIT FOR RAINY DAYS
knlckerbockers, High Shoes, Fitted
Mufflers and Knitted Waistcoats
Are Best for Bad Weather.

4 pair of knickerbockers to save her
petticoats is one of the most sensible
investments of the girl who goes out
In the rain. They are worn with
warm wooden stockings or high leg
gtngs and are much better than drag
gled skirts.
Rubbers and high shoes or, at any
rate, high and preferably stormproof
shoes attend each rainy-day walk of
the well-dressed girl who does not
trife with low shoes and CATERS in
the wet
Instead of furs-the fitted muff1ers
of knitted silk and wool or cotton,
clasping snugly around the throat, are
suitable for wet days. They are wash
able, so that white ones can always be
kept snowy.
Knitted waistcoats are almost a ne
cessity, to be slipped on under the thin
raincoat.
A new rainy-day hat has appeared
that should prove useful to the girl
whose hair hangs limp and straight in
the rain. 1t is a small and trim toque,
trimmed with wings, and fitted in front
with a bewitching little false curly
bang" One must, of course, purchase
a hat banged to match ones hair.
The bangs are put on sparseIy enough
to suggest nature and not the hair en-
porium.

The New "Stoop" Walk.

Womankind Is achieving a new
walk-or rather the new walk has
been thrust upon her by the require
ments Of the present coat styles. All
the fashionable evening coats are
drawn in at the bottom of the back
and slope upward loosely at the front.
This necessitates a measured, rather
mincing step which, with a slight
bend of the body forward under the
weight of the big fur collars, and be-
cause of the necessity of lifting the
skirts from the pavement or steps,
produces pretty, graceful and very
feminine attitude, quite different from
the rather Independent stride engen-
dered by the short skirts worn for the
past season or two.

ton OF Slated front and the feed
uoughs, keeping other fowls and spar
rows from helping themselves. In this
trough is placed feed and a vessel of
water. The lid can be held up by a
button at top while feeding and wa
tering. The bottom of coop is made
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 a bird when
wanted. Legs are one and one half by
three, and bolted fast to ends of
coop, as shown in cut. The legs
are made long enough to bring
the bottom of coop about two feet
from the ground, which brings the
feeding trough to a convenient height
for feeding.
