mend that young chicks be not fed for
forty eight hours after they are hatch
ed and then only on dry feed. For
the first three days after you begin to
feed them, feed only dry toast crumb-
led up with the yolk of hard boiled
eggs. After that time feed them a
good standard chick food, dry, with
plenty of medicated charcoal and
you will find that not many of them
get sick unless you allow them to be-
come chilled"
Also if diarrhoea starts in on your
flock and no standard remedy is at
hand the use of black pepper may be
recommended. Not more than a fort
night back an old lady told me that
in few days time she had checked
the ravages of the disease in her little
flock of chicks by mixing common
black pepper in their food. Another
friend has checked this trouble by
feeding boiled rice and giving the
rice water to drink.

in the intestines of the chick, sets
up an infiammatory action in the
chicks bowels and the result is this
white diarrhoea. The scientists who
have been working on this problem
for years tell US we will have to rid

pullets that have these diseased
ovaries and they tell us that ii one

the hen s ovary, examine it and tell
whether or not 1T is diseased. But
another way one can tell, ii he is not

RAISING POULTRY ON THE FARM.

The general-purpose breeds of
poultry, such as the Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and
Orpingtons, should be kept on the
farm. rather than small-egg breeds or
small mongrel stock. 1t should also
be remembered that the dark plumag-
! ed varieties do not, as rule, look as
we'll when dressed as poultry of other
cOlOrS.
Usually, more interest is taken
with a flock of fowls that are of the
same breed and color, and it is an
esta blished fact that such flock pro.
duces more uniform product, which
invariably secures to the owner higher
prices than can be derived from the
product of a mOngrel flock.
AS soon as the Matching season is
over all male birds should be market
ed, they having no influence whatever
on the number of eggs laid, and eggs
produced by focks composed of fe-
males only. keep much better than
eggs from hens that are allowed to
run with males.
AS soon as the cockerels weigh
three quarters of pound they should
be penned for 10 or II days and fed
all they will eat OF corn, chop or a
wet mash composed Of two parts corn
meal, one part bran and one part low
grade -four. Ii this mixture can be
dampened with skimmilk, it will add

from a business point of view, the
only way to look at it.
This businesslike forcing of the
fowls cannot be practiced by every
body. but the conditions governing
the poultry business are rapidly de-
fining themselves and will soon be
definitely settled. The poultry keep
ers OF the future will, aside from
the small fancier class-soon be divid-
ed into two. reat divisions, the men
buying pullets and forcing them to
the limit for single years egg pro-
duction, and the men who produce
the pullets and sell them to the egg
ranohers. Obviously the doping
method will not do for the producer
of the pullets however satisfactory it
may prove to the egg rancher.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

In a season when elaboration is carried
to excess 1t is not surprising that chill
dren's frocks should be affected by the
trend. and diminutive frocks, coats and
even hats show an amount Of trimming
and novelty of design that would not
have heen tolerated In other seasons.
Frills and furbelows. however are ar
ranged with a view to retaining GER

sary attribute in the successful gewnins

the severity that for two or three sea-
sons threatened to overthrow the ap-
pearance of youthfulness and make carl

Fav0rite Laces.

The one thing that there seems to be no
possible doubt OF Is that lace of every
variety will now be worn. A little while
ago it was asserted that only the finer
makes Of the mechlin and the chantiily
order would be en- regle; but now we find
that venetian, cluny and filet laces are
none too heavy for us. Indeed, whatever
sort of lace we may possess-and If 1t is
real SO much the better-or however small
a scrap we may have in hand we VIII nnd
a use for it. A flounce or a berthe can
be put to it's proper use, a veil or scarf
will serve as a drapery, the tiniest OF
motifs can perch itself on our millinery.

Gray and Purple.

There seems to be a veritable epidemic
OF neat light gray spring suits. Every
third girl one meets seems to be wearing
one, many selecting purple as the reliev-
ing note. A black hat worn with one OF
these gray costumes looked particularly
attractive. The low dome crown was left
quite plain, while on the wide straight
brim near the, edge there was laid q nat
feather trimming in rich shade OF pur-
pie: around the throat there was worn
close fitting feather ruffle the same
shade, finishing at the left side with
cluster of pastel toned satin flowers.

gives a little tunic effect.
The second of these models has the
slashes cut below the waist line each
two inches wide. for the introduction of
a patent leather belt that is worn large
and loose, and the third has no belt
to confine 1t anywhere, but falls straight
from the square-cut neck and shoulders.
This last design is usually made very
ornate, with embroidery done directly on
the material; or it affords particularly
good scope for lace insertion, one model
being given a bowknot border design
in very narrow valenciennes with small
punches Of flowers worked In the inter-
stices.
