made, and at the same time it is
smart. 1t includes the side clos
ing that is feature Of the sea-
son and the neck can be made
square or slightly higher and
finished wit h a collar while
the sleeves allow desirable va
riety. In the illustration, they
are made in three-quarter length
gathered into bands, but they can
be cut shorter and finished with
rolled over cuffs if preferred.
The skirt is a six-gored one and
the back gore can be either
gathered or arranged to form a
box7plait. This gown is made of
dimity with trimming of embroid-
cred banding. Lawns, batistes and
all simple materials of the kind
are appropriate, with trimming
either of embroidery or lace or of
contrasting material. Scalloped
edges are being much used and
the blouse, made as indicated in
the small front view, with collar,
cuffs and front edges scalloped
and either button-holed or bound
would be very pretty. A great

and about 2 inches apart and the
lath on top feet long and sans

A feed trough may then be
placed under the feeder, where
the feed is placed. This arrange
ment permits the smaller chicks,

without being troubled by the
older chicks. This is not an ex-
pensive arrangement and will
save many a chicks life and
pay for it's construction many
times in season. The little
chicks will soon learn to 60

How Crate Feeding is Done.
AS a rule, as we have already
stated, the buyer at the large
feeding establishments can dc
this work cheaper and with less
loss; however, this article will
not be complete, without word
along this line.

tons may be made tight from

to fifteen fowls. A V-shaped feed
trough of light material is made
three inches dep and is sup
ported by notched end boards,
holding the trough in front OF
the coop just about eight inches
above level Of floor. A frame is
made to support coops and the
droppings fall to the ground
where they should be gathered
and not allowed to accumulate.
If the coops are placed in a
building and you desire to deck

range for a dropping board to
catch the droppings. which should
be cleaned off daily.

Use Taste, Not Extravaganza,
Curtaining Your Home.

For what reason do you have cur
tains in your home? Do they really
mean anything TO you other than that
in supplying them for your home you
have followed the conventional path
Of house furnishing? Do you hang
curtains in your windows in just the
same spirit as you place center
piece regularly and religiously be
meath the little fern in the center oil
your dining-room table?
why, all the houses in the neigh
borhood have curtains in the win
dows," you tell me. "And the cur
tains relieve the baroness, give lit
tie privacy and make the room look
more handsome. They even cost So;
pair" you assure me. But unless
your curtains mean infinitely more
than this TO you, unless they bear q
very forceful and direct relation &c
the particular room IN which they
are hung, you have failed in the cur
tanning of your home
Some looms are unquestionably
better without curtains. Lingerie

tecturally a window is treated the
less need there is for il to be dressed
up with frills and hounces. have
often looked with positive relief up
on curtainless windows after having
walked past block after block 81
houses with cheap Nottingham cur
tains hanging from the top Of the
window TO the floor. The monotony
and the lack of refinement has beer
quite depressing.
We have come TO realize that the
most satisfying homes are usually
those papered with plain or incon
| Spicuous papers. When this is the
case the responsibility for decorative,
effect rests largely upon the hang
ings. Thus our curtains must play
an important part in making thu
home beautiful. Therefore, they
must be carefully considered in re
lation to the room in which they ar,
to hang. AS all rooms are not alik,
and thank Heaven for itl-our cur
tains should show a dstnctivenes,
in keeping with our home.

put up curtains that will soften tn,

dows into harmony. Possibly the so
luton in such case would be cur

II our walls are light in tone and
bare of design we will want warmth
and figure IN our hangings. and we
might choose a cretonne or mer-
cerzed material, bold in coloring and
design, for inner curtains, or per
haps colored madras for sash cur
tains Though in the matter Of hang
ngs the material chosen is far less
important than the effect gained
through color and design.
But the purpose of this article is
not SO much TO suggest what TO use
for curtains as TO point out the neces-
sity of using taste and ideas of
harmony in meeting the needs OF
your various rooms.
Fortunately some people are in no
way dependent upon money for good
effects in curtainlng. Cheese cloth
has been much used for curtains, par
tcularly for stencilled Curtains. and
this can be bought in a narrow width

have seen used in pretty homes. 1t
took courage for one home-maker
know 10 put bingham curtains in her
living room, but il gave the desired
color effect. and the curtains have
proved very durable and satisfactory
in every way.
One little homemaker uses curtains
made from bedspread, having q
handmade fringe. The curtains are
hung in a somewhat unusual manner
but in a way which uses the bed
spread TO the best advantage.
Then some use the stencilled cur
tains at side windows and also a little
curtain of like pattern made to suit
the window in the door. all Of which
denote that the owners Of these little
homes have the courage 10 express
their individuality.
/ Another uses sash curtain OF col
ored madras. The light streaming
through this softly-colored matera

unlike that of stained glass. The in

curtains as to what is in vogue, bu
let US choose whatever seems to II,
to be serviceable, graceful and TO best
meet the needs Of the room, in the
matter Of color and design. Let IL,
make our curtains very positive guam

each time. Never leave any feed
in the troughs, as it will sour and
cause trouble. Feed the birds a
batter, not necessary to give
water, but give charcoal and grit
at least twice a week. 1T usually
takes four TO five weeks feeding
to prepare the birds for market.
Fowls fattened in this way are
finer in flavor, more tender and
delicious meat, and demand a
higher price. Once you eat fowl
milk-fed in the fattening coops,
you will never care to go back to
the common fed stock, even il
fat and in the pink of condition.

Growing Poultry Flesh for Market.

The product from poultry of
this kind may be grouped into
three distinct divisions.
1. The growing of poultry es-
pecially for market.
2. Poultry, consisting of hens
and young male birds that are
sold from farms where the pull
let's are kept for egg production.
8. The cocks and old hens
sold as a by-product or after
their usefulness is passed Oh
the egg farm.
In the third and second class,
We find this stock generally from
the Mediterranean breeds, which
comprise the Leghorns, Mino-
cras, Spanish, Andalusian, and
Anconas, as these families are
recognized as the egg producing
fowls. This stock is not consider
ed as fattening stock and we must
sell it at what ever price we may
get. The large fattening estab-
lishments of this country do not
want this class of poultry, nor do
they care for any poultry from
the Polish family, French, Dutch,
or Game breeds. Then we have
the Asiatic breeds, the heaviest in
flesh of the poultry family, and
known as the meat breeds. But
this family has it's Objectionable
points to our buyers, and the
market does not call for just
this kind of carcass; but,
demands clean, bright
yellow leg; and, this family is
the feathered leg and foot
breeds. The English breeds,
which comprise the Dorkings,
Redcaps, and Orpingtons, are
sold to some buyers; but the
demand for this class of poultry
is not so great, the preferable
class for our markets being
from the American breeds,
this class is the largest in the
poultry family, and is known as
the general purpose fowl. The
breeds are the American Dominic
ques; Buckeyes; Javas, Notified
and Black; Plymouth Rocks;
Rhode Island Reds and Wyan-
dottes. The Dominiques and Javas
are a very rare breed and do
not Just fill the market demand,
hence are not popular; therefore
we have brought down the
breeds that seem to be in the
biggest demand, as crate fatten-
ing and market poultry, to
Plymouth Rocks, of which there
are the Barred, White, Buff, Part
ridge, and Columbian; Wyandot-
ties, White, Buff, Partridge, Silver,
Golden, and Columbian Rhode
Island Reds, Rose and Single
combs.
What The Market Wants.
This is for the finished pro-
duct, and in order to comply, it
is necessary to raise just the
breeds that will fill the bill.
When we do this, we find ready
sale for our poultry at usually
fancy price.

Feeding Chicks At Different Ages.

Feeding Chicks At Different Ages.
SO many people in a neglectful
way, with little thought, feed
chickens of different ages all
together. This is a poor practice
and will not give you the re-
suits that would be gained by
feeding the different ages apart,
especially when feeding mash.
1t is a common sight to see
CHICKS of four to five weeks old
being trampled on by older chicks
in trying to get their feed from
trough. You can not afford to
let such a thing exist. Chicks
raised TO that age have passed
the hardest struggle for exis-
tence and you can not afford to
let the older ones kill and in
jure him. If it is quite nee
essary that they be placed on
range together, provide chick
feeder.
The illustration plainly shows
the construction, and the object.

Crate Feeding.

There is no secret about the
feeding, and the rations used in
crate fattening will vary by the
individual feeders. The feed
most commonly used consists of
finely ground grain, mixed to a
batter with buttermilk or sour
skim milk. The favorite grain is
finely ground oats with the hulls
removed. Oats may be used, as
the only grain. Corn is used, but
not by itself; shorts, ground
barley or ground bnckwheat,
beans, peas, linseed, and gluten
meals may be used in small
quantities, and tallow is often
used toward the finish of the
feeding period, some feeders
using a little tallow all along the
feeding process.
A few of the feeding formulas
used by some of the feeders we
give herewith:
Corn meal by weight, five parts /;
wheat middlings, four parts I;
ground oats, one part; animal
meal, one part; mixed with butter
milk or sour skim milk.
Ground oats, two parts; ground
barley, one part; ground corn, one
part; mixed with sour skim milk.
Ground corn, four parts; ground
peas, one part; ground oats, one
part; meat meal, one part mixed
with sour skim milk.
Tallow is usually added after
feeding has been in progress at least
ten days. The first week the birds
are fed sparingly-only about one
half what they will eat. After
that gradually increase the
amount until you find just how
much they will eat up clean

or more pens were selected with
a good "utility breeder at the
head" there would be fewer
losses in raising the little chicks
and greater profits derived
from poultry raising.
We are not going to take up
incubation and brooding in this
article, at this time, as it re-
quires knowledge, experience,
and much careful study to carry
on this part Of the business and

The order that grants them that

for the tone indicates that they may
attend meetings that occur in their
regular line of work without such per-
mission but also states that the or

Of their regular duties. They think

would be Of general use to them. They

perts there.
