production of meat. Only such uni
formity of color and minor points are
demanded as will serve to distinguish
the breed and give uniformity of ap
pearance. The standards adopted by
breeders of this class of animals give
relatively small consideration to fancy
points, whereas poultry breeders con
slider about one-half of the value OF
their birds to depend on color OF
feathers alone, while the judgment
of shape is based upon the outline
produced by the feathers and not or
the true body shape. The standard
bred poultry fanciers have not beer
mainly concerned in producing breeds
of chickens for the use of the farmer
or practical grower, as have been the
breeders of cattle and swine. Men
who pursue animal breeding for pleas
ure alone do not choose large, slow
breeding animals, such as cattle;
neither do animals wholly worthless
from other standpoints receive much
attention from breeders. But the hen
variable in form and color, inexpen
capable of producing in brief time
large numbers of offspring, and yet
withal capable of paying her way In
food products, has rendered possible
the development of the fancy or stan
dard-bred chicken business into the
most universal and important fancy OF
artistic-breeding business In the world
From the attention that has been
given to the breeding of poultry fol-
the show room, many people wrongly
infer that standardized poultry is nc
better than mongrel stock for com
mercial purposes.
The mongrel chicken is a production

of the neighborhood, and its offspring
will be equally varied. In the pure
breeds there has been rigid selection
practiced that gives uniform appear
ance.
The size and shape requirements OF
the standard, although not based on
the market demands, comes much
nearer producing an ideal carcass than
does chance breeding. Ability to ma
ture for the fall and winter shows is a
decidedly practical quality that the
fancier breeds into his chickens
Moreover. poultry breeders, while still
keeping standard points in mind, have
also made improvements in the laying
and meat-producing qualities of theiI
chickens. Considering these facts, II
Is an enormous idea to think that
mongrel chickens offer any advantage
over pure-bred stock for meat or fol
eggs.

NECKWEAR IN LAVISH DISPLAY
Severe Tailormade Effects Arc Being
Discarded In Favor OF Gen.
eraI Fluffiness.

What has become of the tailored
girl who looked so smart in her man
nish collar and firm, steady fourth
hand? She and all her ilk seem to
have passed out with the advent Of
the frenzy Of f1uffiness that has seized
the feminine world. The few who
have survived the pillows Of laoes and
miles Of ruffles are marked rarities,
and possibly do their own laundering.
However, the generousness of neck
wear is gradually decreasing and fan
frills and Partisan jabots are taking
on proportions not only more refined,
but undoubtedly more becoming.
The small girl with a great white
wing securely pinned to her shoulder
would be laughable were she not so
modest and unassuming in manner
But the new neckwear will soon
rightfully represent her, as we'll as the
too generously built woman who SHES
at so much ostentation.
Stocks with jabots to match are
the fashionable thing in neckwear,
and instead of the lavishly fluted va
rieties, the simple, graduated plait is
shown. Hand embroidery and simple
thread laces are the favored trim
mings, and a bit of color is occasion
ally introduced by means of ribbon
and loops.

HOMEMADE VANILLA EXTRACT
Preparation Needs Care and Time, but
One May Be Sure of Its
Wholesomeness.

There are various recipes for max.
ing preparation Of vanilla extract
or essence and some of these are too
complicated to be practicable in anna
teur hands at home. If plenty of time
can be allowed for the strength of the
flavoring to be extracted from the
beans the following Is simple and
satisfactory recipe for a homemade
preparation for home purposes: For
an eight ounce bottle, take eight Ton
ka beans, split them In two, soak
over night in two tablespoonful OF
warm water. and fill up the bottle
with deodorized alcohol. 1t takes
some time for the beans to digest in
the fluid, but the extract is of excel
lent strength. Here is another prac-
ticable recipe for a good homemade
vanilla essence: Deodorized alcohol,
five parts; proof spirits, three parts;
sugar, one part; vanilla bean, one
part. Slit the beans and cut them
fairly fine; mix with the sugar and
bruise moderately fine, add the alco-
hol and spirits and mascerate. or al
low them to soak for two weeks; DC
casionally shaking. Then strain and

IMPROVING THE TABLE LINEN
DaIntlIy Embroidered Initials Add to
Appearance as Few Other
Things Can.

Nothing so vastly improves the ap-
pearance of table linen as daintily en-
broidered initials in the corner. To
certain degree the fashions change
each season; but a safe rule for the
conservative needlewoman to follow
Is:
For tablecloths, letters two inches
long.
For napkins, letters three-quarters
Of an inch long.
Sheets, two inches long.
Other articles are marked according
to the taste of the embroiderer. But
the best method of marking linen Is a
problem which presents itself very
often.
There are many ways to choose be-
sides the plain embroidered initial
stamped either In script or block type.
Perhaps the most attractive method
of working large initials is to en-
broider the letters over fine net, cut
ting away the linen underneath, so
that when finished 1t will give trans
parent effect that is unusual and beau
tiful
The work Is not difficult and can be
done rapidly by one who has any ey
perience in needlecraft.

lBy OSCAR ERF.l

(By OSCAtt Eftf.)
Pure-bred animals are those that
produce their form, habits or other
distinctive qualities with uniformity.
In order that we may get offsprings
like the parent and like each other we
must have animals whose ancestors
for many generations back have been
OF ono type. The more generations OF
such uniformity, the more certain it
will be that the young will possess
similar quality.
The wild animals of any one kind
or species in one locality have been
of similar type for many generations
and may be considered as pure-bred.
By the law of natural selection, indi-
viduals not suited to live in that par
ticuiar locality have been welded out.
When animals are domesticated,
and moved to other climates, and are
fed different foods, only such indi-
viduals will live and produce young
as are suited to the new conditions.
But another factor changes domestic
animals more rapidly. Men breed only
such specimens as please their fancy;
and this artificial selection replaces
natural selection. During the many
centuries of domestication the chick
ems of different parts of the world
have developed into different types.
When these radically different types
are brought together and crossed We
have produced young that are very
different from the parents and from
each other. Nor can these young be
depended upon to reproduce offspring
like themselves. They are said to be
cross-bred, or, If the mixing be for
several generations, they are known
as mongrels. By selecting from cross
bred or mongrel stock such chickens
as are desired, and breeding these to-
gether for many generations, new
breeds may be established.
One strain of chickens may be Sc
lected for uniform color of feathers,
another for a certain size and shape,
another for laying large eggs of GER
tain color, and yet another strain for
being producers of many eggs. Each
of these strains might be wellbred in
these peculiar traits, but would be
mongrels when the other considera-
lions were taken into account. Breed
ers of pure-bred stock, in making
their selection of breeding animals,
try to consider the desirable qualities
in due order of their relative i'm
portance. Thus, with trotting horses
speed is given prominence above
everything else, while in the case Of
swine or beef cattle attention has been
given to the qualities of growth and
fattening that make for the profitable

MANY MISTAKES
MADE AT START
Those About TO Begin With
Poultry Should be Advised
TO Begin With Good
Stock or Eggs.

How often have you stopped to
think how much better off you would
have been and how much time you
would have saved had you started
In with pair or trio of good
breeders instead of the flock of Gull
chickens which you purchased and
which even the most experienced poul-
tryman would have found difficult in
handling?
How often have you thought about
advising those about to start in with
chickens to put their money in good
stock or eggs at the outset instead
of fretting with worthless stock for
two or three seasons before realizing
their mistake?
How often have you given this ad-
vice to a deaf ear, become provoked
and then got in a good humor again
when you thought of the fool you
had been and of the time you had in
making up your mind to the neces.
sity of starting in all over again aft
er devoting a couple of years TO a
flock that no one could have made
to pay for its feed?
. When We look back upon the many
mistakes we made in getting a start
we wonder how We managed to stay
with 1t. 1t is then We realize why it
Is SO many go in for chickens and

pens that more did not give up at
