fairly reducing her TO living skeleton
IL was finally extricated by physicians
of the Emergency hospital. They used

The frog Is now preserved in alco-
hol. II is a weak. colorless. wrinkled.
shapeless specimen which bears a
faint resemblance TO the normal frog.
It's legs are long and scranny and thin
as toothpicks. IL measures, all told.
about seven inches.
Just as IL was breaking out of the
egg. the tadpole was swallowed by
Mrs. King in we'll water last August.
Weeks passed before the woman real

waste This last is made of a short,
round piece OF wood sawed In half
lengthwise, fastened together at one
end and encircled by loose iron ring.
The piece OF pearl shell Is placed be-
tween the loose wooden ends and the
ring Is hammered toward It until the
grip Is tight. The workman then files
the part of shell which extends to the
desired diameter; 1t is reversed In the
holder, and finally a rounded piece OF
perhaps one to three inches In length
Is secured. When a number OF these
pieces have been prepared they are
cut to bead size, hole Is bnred In
each bead and it is rounded to the de-
sired shape. Then to give the beads a
smooth surface they are placed in
special crockery vessels with a little
water and are kept In motion in these
vessels, rubbing against the sides and
each other until they are smoothed,
but not polished.
To give them a gloss and sheen,
they are finally placed in boiling wa
ter, to which weak solution of nitric
or muriatic acid is added, and when
removed from this they are passed
through a succession of cooling wa
ters. There are three usual shapes

oval.
These beads are strung on cords,

Footwear for Little Folk.

Buttoned boots and slippers are now
the mode for children, as they are for
older people. The very well-dressed

considered more satisfactory for the
growing foot than the perfectly fat,
heelless shoe, worn only by very little
children. The buttoned strap boot
also made of white buckskin, Is for

P0UHpYlOTES'

Look to the comfort Of the fowls.
Never feed whole corn except at
evening.
Direct sunlight is a great natural
disinfectant.
Don't neglect your chicks and fowls
in hot weather.
Hot, close weather brings lots of lice
to the dirty pen.
1t is well-known fact that all hens
are not good layers.
The hot, sultry weather is trying to
both fowls and men.
Don't crowd sleeping quarters. Keep
fronts of houses open.
Hens and pullets do not thrive on
the same kind of feed.
Heat prostration is common In
yards where there is no shade.
Keep things clean. Use lice powder.
lice paint and disinfectants freely.
AS soon as the Matching season is
over all sale birds should be marketed.
Feed little, il any, corn or other
heating foods while the temperature is
high.
1t takes a good poultryman to keep
up his enthusiasm when the weather
is hot.
Success with poultry all depends on
whether We have egg producers or

turbing the minds of poultrytaiSing
persons. 1t will be a hard blow to
the popular theory that white-feath-
cred chickens are more in demand
on the markets than any other breed.
Doubtless you have stood by that be-
lief all your life, and you may take
exception to the ruling of the court.
But white feathers don't count for
all, the poultry professor says. And
he has made, in packing centers. an
investigation upon which to base his
assertions. At to their marketable
merit, Prof. Lippincott ranks the
various breeds like this: Barred
Plymouth Rocks, White Wyandottes,
White Plymouth Rocks, Black Lang
shans, Leghorns, Brahrnas, Cochins,
Scrubs.
Yellow shanks and yellow skin are
demanded above everything else, the
decision says. Further, the shanks
must be clean and free from feathers.
The body must be plump and of medi-
UNI size-fOur to seven pounds, for
roasting birds. The breeds that most
nearly meet these requirements are
the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, and
Rhode Island Reds. The reason such
breeds as Buff Wyandottes and Rhode
Island Reds do not appear in the list
just given is because they have not
been bred in sufficient numbers to
make an impression on the market.
Packers are not acquainted with
them.

WHY PURE BREEDS ARE BEST
Well Kept Flock of Thorouohbreds
Costs NO More to Feed and House
Than the MongreIs.
(By MRS. Fl. F. cRINsTrAD,


The person who raises chickens,
turkeys, ducks or any other fowl nat
urally feels greater pride and IT,
terest in thoroughbred stock and,
therefore. gives the flock better care
than would be given to mongrels No
matter what kind of birds you have,
however, the same rule of good care
applies. With the right kind Of care
and interest your flock will yield
abundant satisfaction and good profit
and both of these are felt to a greater
degree by the owner of the thorough
bred fowls.
Houses, yards and feed cost about
the same for either mongrels or full
bloods and well kept flock of thor
oughbreds always attract attention
and admiration from neighbors. who
are often willing to pay much bet
ter price for eggs for Matching pur-
poses from such stock than ordinary
eggs will bring.
Many buyers, every season, get ex-
cellent results in the least expensive
way by purchasing eggs from which
TO hatch pure bred stock. The breed
best suited to your surroundings and
the purpose you wish them to serve
should be selected. The best meat
producer is not, as a rule, a good egg
producer and so on, but with careful
study of some of the breeds a buyer
ought to be able TO know how to Sc
lect just what will meet his needs
