ling of steps and figures that really made
the Cross-Over itself part of the dane
ing scheme.
To perform it effectively. the man in
passing behind his partner should keep
as close to her as he can without brush
ing against her gown. When too much
space prevails between the figures. at the
instant the cross over is made, 1t spoils
the effect even though the step may be
conveniently and easily employed.
Very little retarding of the forward
motion occurs when the change in posi-
tions Is brought about, the man swing

Have you ever been seized with a
sudden desire to cross the street for some
apparently inexplicable reason? Well,
the same conditions often prompt either,
or both, of the partners in their Tango
evolutions. The man may want to alter
his position from the left to the right
side of the lady, possibly for no evil
dent purpose, though often for definite
causes.
First, he may find his arm tiring or
feel that his partners arm is weary,
and he realizes that by a shifting of
positions relief may instantly be had.
Again, for the sake of variety, it seems
pertinent to reconstruct dancing mat
ters or, finally, to carry out a desired
figure it becomes imperative to begin
with the lady on his reverse side
What more natural under any of
these conditions that the masculine guide
should signal for a Single Cross Over?
QuitAs so. Immediately there comes a
pretty slipping by of figures, a few SIM
pie, easy movements Of arms and hands
glide or two and, presto, a new order
of things Tango ensues.
The Single Cross-Over is as nothing
to the dancer, but its very simplicity
makes it a sort OF Tango conjunction.
or proposition, ever ready for utiliza-
ton and a necessary factor at almost all
times The figures presented in the pic
ture taken of myself and my partner
are at the conclusion of the Single Cross
Over. in which the arms are elevated
to commencing some new fig
ure.
This holding aloft of the arms might
be called flourish, sort Of ending to
a dancing phrase, just as a coloratura
soprano would conclude series Of notes
with some long-held tone or vocal en-
bellishment calculated to ornament the
effort.

FEATHERS AND EGosHELLs.

One way to get ducks off their feed
is to get them excited. A dog or q
boy chasing the flock can so disturb a
flock of market ducks as to put them
out of condition. Same way in the
laying house. A disturbance that puts
the hens on nerve knocks the egg
record.
Some one says, THE best way to
tell whether an egg contains n rooster
or hen is to hatch the egg under a
hen and watch the chick for year,
and if it crows it's n rooster and if il
lays eggs it's hen"
1t is occasionally the case that a
breeding pen contains hens that are
not popular with the male or which
give him the cold shoulder. A testing
of the eggs will show some of the eggs
infertile, and they may be easily traced
Such hens should be mated to another
male, as it is seldom they become rec
onciled to the head of the harem or the
male makes up with them.
When the American Poultry associa-
ton met at Nashville, Tenn, most
restaurants put on lots of chicken frills
and chicken soup. chicken salad, chick
Ell sandwich and stuffed EGGS were on
about every bill of fare. The mem
bers felt like the boy who said to the
friend who entertained him: Don't
want none of that Got plenty of that
at home"
The Single Comb Brown Leghorn
seems to be dropping out of sight, very
few being seen at shows, and one sell
dom sees a flock of them. One reason
for this is because show requirements
are such that the ridiculous double
get birds to win. This unnatural
method applied to Barred Rocks has
also retired them from the head of the
procession.
A way to interest that boy and to
keep him busy and happy is to give
chickens. turkeys, ducks or geese
Make him member of the firm, give
him part of the profit and watch him
get busy. Busy boys, with work that
gives them a sense of proprietorship
and chance to make money. are not
among our dime novel readers nor as
sociates of the bad boys of the streets.
A fancier was recently tried at Will
Transport, Pa, for shooting and killing
a chicken thief. The jury brought in
a verdict of not guilty after five min
utes' elaboration. Judges in Pennsyl-
vania are getting away from the idea
that stealing horse and a chicken

tude, and juries no longer consider
chicken stealing a laughing matter
