BEST TYPE OF HOUSE FOR WINTER lay
| months. \ brief description of the
writer's method O. raising winter lay
ers may be helpful.
Hens are used for incubating the
eggs. Provided a hen wants to set any
time after the middle Of February she
is put in Il warm and protected place.
For prospective winter layers it is well
to hatch the chicks as early as March
and April. With hens TO brood the
chicks and with a sunny exposure and
protection from cold winds, they need
little more attention in early than in
later Matching.
No wet food is given young chicks I'M
til they are four to five weeks old. The
mother hen is cOOped, but the chicks
are allowed free grass range. They
are fed regularly five times q day until
they are about two months old. after
that for two months or so four times a
day. and from that time on three times
a day until winter is over. The young
chicks are kept free Of vermin by
simple methods the perches and rO0st-
ing places are carefully watched for
chicken mites, and any Indication of
sickness is at once investigated.
After the chicks are three months
old they are fed wet mash in the
morning and a grain mixture consist
ing of two parts of whole or cracked
rt Of nd
oats for the remaining meals. The
mash is composed of four parts by
measure of bran and one each of mid
dlings, cOrnmeal and mixed grains. Oc
casiOnally one measure of meat meal *
added to the mash to furnish animal
I'm hopperS in order that the young
chickens may learn to balance their
own ration. Since chickens possess in
dividual tastes. it is better to let them
balance their ration to suit themselves.
The mash is usually wet down with
the wastes from the table. Oyster shell
and grit are always kept before the
fowls IN hOppers.
A dry scratching pen. free from
drafts and we'll lighted, is provided for
each pen of fowls. This is practically
indispensable for winter layers in cold
or moderate climates. Grain thrown in
the litter will keep the fowls busy for
hours. Exercise is very important for
fowls that are kept to produce eggs
during the winter months. Plenty OF
fresh water is also essential for laying
hens. Fifty fowls cared for in this
manner during the past four or five
years have given q fairly uniform sup
ply of winter eggs. As rule the fifty
fowls have consisted of from sixteen to
twenty pullets, about the same number
of one-year-Old hens and a few two
year-olds Careful records show that
the pullets during the winter months
lay about four times as many eggs as
the hens. For profitable winter egg
production it is advisable to have as
many vigorous pullets as possible.
With pullets numbering only about
one-third of the fifty fowls, the pro-
duction of the writer's flock during the
past four winters, regarding the winter
months as December, January and
February, has been as follows:
Winter Of 1907-S, 1,032-average per
month, 344; winter of 19OS-9, 1899
average per month, 446; winter of
19O9-1O, ,25s-average per month, 419;
winter of 1901, 1,345-average per
month, 44S.

WHY SERVE CAKE WITH TEA?
Writer Criticizes Hostesses for Their
Penchant for Serving Inappro-
pirate Combinations.

Anyone who serves waters with tea
is lacking in gastronomic imagination.
Drinking tea and eating a wafer is
like having a picnic in the woodshed,
or wearing an Easter hat with 60
loshes, declares a writer in the Allan
tic Monthly.
1t is hueless compromise where
there might be vivid delight. Many
otherwise excellent hostesses fail to
perceive the relation between after
noon tea and it's edible accompani-
ments. They will serve you a hard,
obstinate biscuit that you break, red
faced, on the rim of your saucer, send
ing, as likely as not, your cup bounc-
ing over the other edge, and your tea
splashing into your neighbor's lap;
or they generously provide you with a
huge, gelatinous cube of cake that ad-
heres to your saucer, and renders you
temporarily web-fngered, the while
you attempt to formulate an epigram
on Henry James, or discourse glibly
as to why women like men.
There is yet another type of hostess
who passes with your tea a dribbling
sandwich, oozing salad dressing at
every pore and containing, half con-
cealed, malicious, indivisible lettuce
leaf People who thus fail of main
tanning the fitness of things at the
tea hour have no genuine apprecia-
ton Of the drink which they dispense.

PRETTY IDEA FOR MILLINERY
Hand-PaInted Effects Are Among the

GRATED In flower designs in natural
colors The design runs upward with
the quill and spreads out on the fiues.
Another fancy is to paint the straw

flowers would make, or fruit, were it
placed upon it. On the brim or on
the crown, or partly under the brim,
or on its upturned edge Here the
pattern is traced in brilliant tones.
White straw and natural" straw are
the only shades so decorated. Any
surface or quality may be used. Gar
den hats are really pretty done in this
way A design of cherries In red with

Best Use Of Scenf

The best way to use scent, If you
care to use it at all, is to put a deli
cate extract in an atomizer and spray
yourself with it. Strong scents are
offensive and the most subtle and
elusive odor is that obtained from o
generous use Of sachet bags laid
among ones lingerie, in the drawers
with ones handkerchiefs, gloves and
wells, and possibly fastened in the
front of ones stays or in some inner
fold Of the bodice. One can buy many
different kinds of powder for sachets,
but whatever you choose, heliotrope,
violet, rose or carnation, remember
that the addition of little orris pow
der will add to its strength and make
it more lasting.

GWEETS are a special temptation in
the summer time. At the summer
resort the evening visit to the soda
water fountain and ice cream parlor is
an established custom, and. the candy

days induce languor and disinclination
to walk when one can board a trolley

any sort makes one feel limp. But the
demon avoirdupois must be combated
assiduously in summer if the silhouette
is to meet the demands of ones autumn
costumes, and the woman who prides
herself upon her figure must look to it
that extra pounds are not insidiously
added to her weight during the lazy
midsummer months.
Swimming is one OF the best means
Of keeping down the weight. The daily

Hints For Jelly Making
's-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s.-s

MOST recipes for Jelly making call
for fruit boiled in just enough wa
ter TO cover 1t until II is tender and
then strained for several hours through
a cheesecloth jelly bag. AS. matter
of fact. the clearest jelly is made OF
the juice which simply drops through
the bag, Just as good, however. but
not quite so clear. is the Jelly made of
the juice which is pressed through the
bag. To each pint of juice a pint Of
sugar is TO be added. Put the Juice in
saucepan over the fire and the sugar
on fat dishes in the oven at the same
time, but be careful not to let the sugar
scorch. Boil the Juice for twenty min
utes: then add the sugar, and as soon
as it is dissolved boil it up once, stir
ring it all the while so that it does not
burn
AS soon as It is made the jelly should
be poured into Jars. or. If you prefer,
glasses that have been sterilized by
placing them IN cold water bring IT to
the boiling point over the fire and leav-
