The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1911-06-25

On every farm poultry should not
only have a place, but a prominent
place. There should be good house,
proper equipment and a good flock Of
pure bred fowls. One hundred to 200
fowls is not too many for farm of
average size.
The fields and garden produce a
large quantity of food for fowls that
would not otherwise be utilized, while
the farm poultry establishment opens
a way for the farm boy and girl to
make little money out of work that
Is nature study, interesting and
profitable as well. and 1t is one Of the
few kinds of employment they can get
into that will not tax their physical
strength. Properly handled. the farm
foek can be made far more profitable
than It is now. though on good many
farms the poultry is already paying
large profits over expenses of estab-
Iishment. care and feed.

CHARMING HATS
FOR SMALL FOLKS.
The Mushroom Shapes and Rib
bon Flowers Are Popular.

Whatever forms are taken by hats
for grown people. the majority Of hats
for children are constructed to afford
some shade to the eyes and to rest
comfortably on tbs head The mush-
room shape is varied somewhat. but
remains along the same lines and is
built Of straw and also of lingerie.
One such type of hat is made of leg
horn and Is trimmed with a wide piece
of soft satin ribbon wound around the
crown and finished on the side with
two satin roses and a few artiticial
leaves.
To make the roses one must wrap
fold Of satin around the finger quite
loosely and sew the lower edge of the
folds together. The satin Is then
pushed out and caught down In places
to simulate the petals of a half blown
rose, and cluster Of little stamens OF
brown, yellow or green are introduced
into the middle and sewed in place.
One may, however. buy satin roses
which are considered better form for
children's wear than the usual artifi-
cial roses. In place of flowers 1t Is
also In good taste to sew rosette or
several fat loops Of ribbon on the hat
A mushroom shape with enlarged fat
crown is in rough straw. with band
Of yellow ribbon around the upper part
| of the crown and double loops Of grad
uated ribbon set at intervals upon the
brim. A wreath of small flowers is
then basted in place around the
crown. If the hat is to be worn for
school and play purposes a simple
ruching of ribbon around the crown Is
trimming enough.
'Tete de negre" straw is very much
favored for wear 1t rarely fades and
Is dark enough to match any color.
Piping is applied to many Of the
newest hats. and when the trimming
consists Of plumage the colors OF it
and the piping harmonic.
Putty is one Of the shades seen 10
the seasons millinery. but 1t is too try
ing for the ordinary adult complexion.

SUITABLE CROPS
FOR HOG PASTURES,
Rape and Rye Furnish Excellent
Fall Forage.

Glover pastures, which are much the
most common of the hog pastures In the
corn belt, furnish very large amounts
Of excellent forage during part OF the
season. They can be used fairly early
In the spring and continue growing
until perhaps in July, when the wealth
or becomes hok and dry, when they
are very likely to cease growth and
become so woody and hard that hogs
will not readily eat the clover. Farm
ers should guard against this condition
by providing some different green feed
for late summer and autumn.
There are several crops which may
be planted for late summer pasture
which will furnish fresh succulent
green feed for all seasons of the year.
One of the most valuable Of these is
rape. This may be sown broadcast In
the cornfields at the last cultivation at
the rate of three to FIVE pounds OF seed
per acre and by early autumn will
have made a growth to furnish pas
ture of an excellent quality. Rye Is
another crop the possibilities of which
are greatly neglected. If sown late In
the summer or early fall 1t will grow
up SO that 1t may be pastured late in
the fall and during the winter. will
furnish lot Of feed In the spring and
still produce grain crop the following
summer. Millet, Kafhr corn and the
various varieties Of sorghum can also
be used for this purpose with excellent
results. There is no section of the
country which Is adapted to hog rails
ing which will not produce some OF
these pasture crops so necessary to the
economical growing Of hogs as well as
to the greatest growth and flesh de-
Yelopment of the animals. Kansas

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
FIaxseed For Skimmllk Calves,

sNARSNSN VI SvNbAfbHhHiN S0AuV@H
We have found that flaxseed Is the
best substitute that can be used to re-
place butter fat removed by the cream
separator, writes II. e. Mccartney in
Farm and Fireside. F1axseed has all
the qualities demanded Of such a sub
stitute. 1t is high In oil or fat. It Ii
very palatable, and Its effect on the
calf's digestive system Is beneficial.
To prepare faxseed for this use is a
very simple process. Simply boil 1t in
about four times Its bulk in water.
The boiling is to be continued until the
whole seeds have burst, after which
1t will be a jellylike mass. Enough
may be prepared at one time to last
for several days, as It is not liable to
spoil.
About half teacupful should be fed
to each calf. This is measured out and
mixed with the calls allowance of
milk just before feeding time. Flax
seed fed in this way makes a wonder
full difference in the growth and ap-
pearance Of the skimmilk calf. How
ever, 1t will not entirely take the
place of the butter fat. The skimmilk
calf even at its best will not grow as
rapidly or mature as early as the enc
that suckles Its dam, yet in nearly all
cases 1t is more profitable to milk the
COW and raise the calf by hand.

OF the making of new satchels there
is no end. but on the whole the KNAPP
sack slung around the shoulder and
resting On the left hip is especially
convenient, while of course this in no
way detracts from its charms. Made
in velvet, bound with gold and but
toned with gold, 1t is an object you
may meet by the hundred in the shops.
A greater novelty is the bag entirely
made of fine gold cord worked to simu-
late crochet, and this tasseled with
oriental beads. green and blue, with
Jade handles and lining to match, is

to accompany with equal grace the

Cudger's speech today was in the ma

utterances were loudly applauded by
the Republicans who pose the reci-

to the fact that 1T is being supported

very few Democrats of the house who
will vote against the reciprocity bill.

the slightest doubt about the bills

pOnents OF reciprocity are threatening
to resort to obstructive tactics and will
demand tedious roll calls on all of the
various amendments that are 20 be of
