Velvet Hats.

The fashion for summer velvet hats
is one which appeals to the economi-
cal woman; for the velvet hat bought
in August can be made to do service
under very cold weather.
AS a between-season hat a velvet
one is especially suitable. 1t IL really
light and cool to wear, made as 1t is
today. Most of them are mounted on
canvas frames, and the crowns are
soft and only lined with single thick
ness of china silk or thin canton fan
mel. The flannel is used to give body
and shape to the velvet crown.
These hats are made in small
shapes, but they sit well up on the
head and show a good deal of hair,
over the ears and on the forehead.
They are variously trimmed, but not
deliberately. Usually wings or ribbon
or both combined form their trim
ming.

Cooperative Creameries.

There are between three and four
hundred cooperative creameries in
Ireland, in addition to nearly one
hundred auxiliaries. Iowa is almost
twice as large as Ireland, yet all Of
her creameries together are but little
more than the cooperative creameries
OF Ireland. But the Irish are not at
all satisfied with the dairy situation.
In spite of the splendid pastures, that
probably are the best in the world,
the Irish COW produces an average OF
$500 pounds Of milk in year. which
is Just about the same as the average
Iowa COW. Four-f1fths Of the milk
received by the creameries comes In
during the summer six months. Dur
ing the winter six months, when but
ter prices are from 10 to 20 cents
higher in the English market, only
one-fifth of the Irish butter IL pro-
duced.

pleatings of net or lace.
Pleated collars Of net, lace or chif

in all white, or black and white com

the neck of the dress and on either

Something very new is the corset

not every person or any person can
make it pay. The reason for all these
wrong ideas is that they have made
their plunge" without reasoning out
business must be worked out and stud
led continuously to succeed.
In gathering material for this arti-
Gle, the writer visited the poultry
yards Of many successful and many
unsuccessful poultrymen. In the yards
of those that were successful the first
thing that attracted his attention was
the cleanliness of both houses and
yards. One breeder in particular used
lime go that it looked as IL the drop
ping boards we're concrete. He did
not sprinkle the lime around in heaps,
as is commonly done, but he dipped a
broom In the lime and then swept the
boards of. The result was that ev-
erything was cleaned in an attractive
way, and the lime was not so easily
stirred up. II lime is sprinkled in lit
tie heaps and the fowls become ex-
cited, they are liable to stir it up so
they can hardly breathe. II this hap
pens, it will seriously retard the
growth of young chickens. The yards
of this breeder we're swept every
morning when the weather conditions
we're favorable. OF course, that part
which he was cultivating for green
food was not disturbed or the part he
had reserved for dust baths. When
he had all the rubbish swept up. he
did not pile it in some corner, but it
was burned Immediately. Here lies
one of the secrets of his success.
The next point that was noticed was
that every man had thoroughbred
stock. Some had paid as high as $40
per bird. This does not seem high
to the professional poultryman, but
when the average person reaches
the point where he is willing to pay
that much, II shows he realizes what
is needed to make a success. When
one visits a poultry yard and finds
fine, thoroughbred stock he invariably
becomes a friend of the owner. The
birds are not only pleasing to the eye,
but they actually earn their salt.
IL has been said that a thoroughbred
bird requires less care, feed and
equipment to make a success than a

leaves of book. keeping a heavy
weight on top of the book for three or

CBy CHESLA SHERLOCK
Those who are interested in poul-
try raising are eager for all the in
formation that they can obtain from
those who have succeeded. But they
never consult or investigate the meth
DDS of the unfortunate one, who has
failed to be successful. If they would
do so, they would obtain more infor-
nation than If they would read all
the poultry books in existence. When
they do ask the one who failed, he al
ways gives the answer that there
isn't any money in the poultry bust
ness" They must investigate for
themselves, and never allow their
opinions regarding poultry to be In
f1uenced by others. The statement
that poultry is Improbable is without
foundation. The fact that eggs and
what the results may be. The poultry
poultry today command better price
than ever before shows that the de-
mand exceeds the production, and we
all know that where this is the case,
the production of poultry and eggs
will be profitable; of course there are
many rules that have to be followed
before this can be realized.
The great reason why so many have
failed is because they have the wrong
idea of the business. AS a rule, they
think that IL one has chickens-no
matter what kind, and If he feeds
them, he ought to realize profit. They
have the idea that all one has to do
is to invest a few dollars in poultry
and before long he will be receiving
such an income from the business to
make living" They do not realize
that it takes knowledge and business
ability to make a success. and that
