Ladies' Separate Skirts

We have just received our first
shipment of Misses School Blouses.
These are flannel Blouse similar to
the one that had such a run last fall
and winter. is made from q nice
gray flannel.
This Blouse is made with the new
round collar to be worn with a tie,
is made the regular Balkan style,
is finished with nice medium size
pearl buttons, has the lapel on col
lar with the Goddard seminary and
Spaulding emblems.
This Balkan Blouse is bound to be
very popular, as the schools all over
the country are calling for them, and
the manufacturers can hardly fill
their orders.
When you can buy Balkan Blouse
of the quality we are putting out
at only 500, you surely cannot
afford to buy the goods to make
them up.
This Balkan Blouse at S1.OO
looks to be worth Sl.50, and it is.
We are sure you will say the same
when you see them.
The lapel on pocket is detachable
to be used plain or with the en-

MUCH COMFORT FOR POULTRY
Hens Sing and Cackle in Cory Winter
House When Kept Busy Scratch
Ing for Their Feed.

In our winter poultry house on cold.
snowy days our hens sing and cackle
as II they were enjoying summer
weather The house is 14x56 feet,
with large windows on the southern
exposure. It's equipment consists of
clean, inviting nest boxes, self-feeders,
with grit and shells, the ground floor
banked deeply with leaves and straw.
writes George w. Brown of Hancock
county, Ohio, in the New England
Homestead. We keep the hens busy
from daylight until perch time dig
ging after small grain scattered sew
eral times daily in the litter. Lawn
clippings, meat offal, beets, pumpkins.
cabbage and an occasional sheaf of
wheat, oats or clover hay suspended
from the roof gives them business
1t is the busy hen that lays the
eggs. She hustles and has red blood
coursing in her veins to keep her
warm on cold days. Our perches can
be hooked to the roof, and IL we have
any drones in the flock inclined to
spend much of the day on the perch
we just hook the perches to the cell
ing. They soon get the habit OF
hustling with the rest of the flock.
We have no use for drones on our
farm save in our apiary<

LOVELY HOG is ECONOMICAL
Puts to Good Use All 1t Consumes,
Eighty Per Cent. of Carcass
Being Available.

The American hog is the most eco
nomlcal of animals Of what a horse
eats 81 per cent. goes to waste Forty
four per cent of the food consumed by
cattle is similarly lost, and 80 per cent.
Of all that sheep take into their stom-
achs. Only u per cent. of what a pig
eats is wasted. Fifty-two per cent. OF
the food eaten by hog goes to make
growth. A sheep utilizes only % per
cent. Of it's sustenance for growing,
which means, of course, the produc-
ton Of meat. These figures are OBJ
tanned from recent experiments made
by government experts, who find, as
result of their study, that the pig has
what they call an economic superb
GRITTY" even over poultry. That is to
say, it produces more meat in proper
ton to its weight, and the animal
weighs more in proportion to the
amount Of food it consumes Eighty
four per cent. of the carcass of hog
is utilized as meat; of the beef animal.
IS per cent is edible. and of the sheep
only "a per cent. Thus it appears
that a greater percentage Of the pig Is
available for food than of any other
dom esticated creature.

whose streaked breast can be distin-
guished from the solid color of the
goldfinch
During the winter they travel in
small focks, often in company with
tree-sparrows and juncos. But when
spring comes they pair, and then be-
gins a long season of courtship, for
they do not breed until into July. The
males are very ardent and affection
ate lovers. Goldflnches are among the
few birds that may be observed in
dulging In kissing one another during
the counting period.
In the late summer and fall they
visit the gardens, both in the country
and in town, to gather what lettuce
and sunflower seed they find awaiting
them
They benefit agriculture by eating
the seeds of noxious weeds, especially
the common thistle, and in feeding
their young upon harmful insects. Be
Ing with US, to some extent, through

BIRD Is FRIEND OF FARMER
Goldffnch Benefits Agriculture by Con-
Stunning Seeds of Noxious Weeds,
Especially Thistle.

CBy II. W. WEISGERBER, in the Farm
and Fireside.)
Why DO | class the goldinch as q
winter resident? Simply because /
think that many a farm boy sees
them and hears the familiar canary
notes and does not know them to
be our common black and yellow
wild canaries" of the summer time
This is what they are, but they have
donned the greenish-yellow garb of
the female. Often, if they have found
food feeding place with plenty of
goldenrod or a ragweedy corn field,
they will remain until the seeds have
been consumed, which often requires
weeks Of time
They must not, however, be con-
founded with another, similar north
ern winter bird, the pine-siskin whose
notes are. somewhat Identical, but

HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS
Little Money and No Satisfaction in
PEactice-Best to Sell Direct
to the Consumer.

There is no satisfaction, and but
very little money in exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. By being care
full in gathering eggs, SO that they
won't become chilled in winter and so
the hens won't sit on them overnight
and using a little care in sizing and
selecting, quite an advance over the
common prices may be obtained
When possible, sell your eggs direct
to the consumer. If not possible, get
market in your nearest city with
some grocer who deals in strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then, for your own sake
live up to your agreement. Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't send any
small, misshapen or large ones. Stamp
each egg with rubber stamp using
your initials or the name of your
farm, and in a short time you will
have created a demand for your eggs,
and when you have created such a de-
mand your eggs will bring the highest
prices, considerably more than your
storekeeper would pay.
Several neighbors could send their
eggs together, paying cent or two
per dozen to one Of their number for
doing the business, and in this way
all would gain little.

STATE BOARD OF REGENTS IN
DORSES PLAN FOR MAKING
A CHANGE IN LAW.
PROPOSE LEVY ON SALARIES
Bill Drafted Provides an Asses sment
Against Normal Teachers of | Per
Cent for First Ten Years and 2
Per Cent for Next Fifteen Years.

Madison.-A pension fund for
teachers in Wisconsin normal schools
upon retirement from service is
given unofficial endorsement for leg
1siatiye enactment by the state board
OF normal regents. The plan was
proposed in the form of a bill by
Prof. ID. O. Kinsman of the Whitewa-
ter normal school, and it was the
unanimous sense of the regents,
speaking as individuals, that the
same provision accorded university
and college teachers and retired pub
lie school teachers in this state
should be extended to the normal
teaching profession. Under the. bill
proposed, a levy shall be made upon
normal teachers salaries for a period
of twenty-five years in the proportion
of one per cent per year for the first
ten years of service as teacher, and
two per cent for each succeeding
year until the teacher shall have
had twenty-five years of service,
when the assessment shall cease.

COST OF BUILDING CREAMERY
One Must First Figure on Expense and
Then en- Equipment-Pays
to Build Well
tBy G. A GILBERT. Colorado Agricul-
tural ColleCe)

tBy G. a. GILBERT. Colorado Agricul-
tural ColleSe)
Creamery builders must figure the
cost first, of the building, second, OF
the equipment A suitable and con
venient building will contain a main
work room, store room, refrigerator,
engine and boiler room, coal room and
an office. Such a medium sized cream
cry would measure 2Sx4S feet In
some sections labor and material are
much cheaper than in others and the
cost varies accordingly. However, we
can place the limit of cost of such a
construction between one thousand
and fifteen hundred dollars
Where only gathered cream is re-
ceived the equipment required is less
than where whole milk is received In
the first instance, of the gathered
cream plant, the following would be
necessary; 15 II. p boiler; 10 H p.
engine; well and pump; weigh can
and scales; Babcock testing equip
ment complete; combiner churn, capa-
city 900 lbs. butter; buttermiik vat;
cream ripener; starter can; wash sink
Besides this there will be shafting
pulleys, piping, betting, etc. By max
ing two Cummings a day in the rush
season, 1900 pounds of butter coulS be
manufactured per day In a plant Of
this size. The cost Of equipment would
approximately be $1,000.
The total cost of a creamery with
MT orfs ioJ ~ WI
from $4,000 to $4,000 In the long run
it pays to build well and to use first
class equipment in a creamery, and
this is the basis of the foregoing fig
ures. In many cases OH record cream
cries started by promoters OF repre-
sentatives Of construction companies
have cost exhorbitant prices and out
of all proportion to the business they
are able to do.

Attention to Colts Feet.

Don't forget to give the colts feet
attention. Now is when the set of
limbs is determined There is always
a reason for a poor set of limbs It
may be hereditary, but it is generally
earelessness on the part of the owner
who did not keep his feet trimmed
down level with the frog. A colts
feet are continually breaking off and
splitting if they are not attended to
