CARING FOR NOTING FOWLS
Process Is No More Critical Than Lay
ing Stunt, Provided Hens Are
Given Sufficient Feed.

Some people make a dreadful fuss
about the poor molting hen, while
this melting process is just as nat
ural as it is for hen to live and
breathe, and no more critical than the
laying stunt, provided the hens are
fed enough to keep up the waste of
the body and at the same time manu-
facture the new feathers, says the
Field and Farm. The sooner the feath-
ers are grown the sooner the eggs
will come and to hurry them along as
fast as possible the fowls should be
fed literally Give them all the mash
they will eat, and good feeding of
grain at night.
To many folks it looks like throw
ing away money to practice heavy
feeding while no eggs are coming in,
but this is one of the secrets of get
ting winter eggs. The molting sea-
son is the most critical period in the
life of a hen. Growth of new feath-
ers is a heavy strain on vitality. AS
the hen is fed on the average ranch
1t requires from two to four months
to recover from the effects OF it.
BY giving the necessary materials
with which to make the feathers so
that hen will not have to make them
from the tissues of her body, she viii

her new plumage and often before
Pullets should be handled in the same

Intervention Plea Is
Sent to United States
From Across the Sea
Lord Cheylesmore and Other
London Notables Say Time
Has Come to Act.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-Men in all walks
Of life, wherever the Mexican atroci-
ties are discussed, are surprisingly
unanimous in expressing the opinion
that the situation demands immediate
intervention by the United States
What is q source of much wonderment
is why such q step continues to be de-
layed.
Il should say it was time for some
power to intervene said Lord Cheyles-
more, chairman of the London county
council, and that power, of course,
must be the United States. not only to
protect her own interests but those of
all the foreign nations
IF a state of anarchy exists such as
reported in the newspapers, surely the
United States is bound to take some
action"
Anthony Hope Hawkins the famous
novelist. holds similar views.
The whole situation is very deplor-
able" he said, but intervention is
purely a question for the United
States

ment, who stands high in the councils

GIRLS CAN HAVE
FINE GOWNS NOW
Y. w. c. A. Movement Teaches
Them to Make Own Dresses,
and Distinctive Ones.

The girls of the night sewing classes
at the Y w. c. A. are bending their
energies toward designing the "perfec;
American gown" The movement to
wear home made" dresses, made by
"home talent" was started some time
ago in New York city, and the idea
spread like wildtire. Miss Christine
Sorensen. the originator of the idea in
Manhattan, sent specimens of her de-
signs here for Atlanta girls to copy
and. If possible. improve upon.
while we are amateurs, one might
say, in such work" said Miss Daisy
F,ckert. in charge of the work at the
Atlanta Y. w. G. A, today, yet we
believe that we can accomplish won
derful results in time from the ideas
sent us by Miss Sorensen
This IS a movement In which the
idea is put forth for American girls to
wear American dresses.
1T may seem queer that we can buy
and make very presentable dress for a
trifie over Sc that could not be dupli
Gated in the shops for $50 to $40, but
such is the case.
| Take one example here. We have a
broadcloth dress cut simply, but with
excellent lines. with a ribbon yoke that
would easily pass anywhere as a
French creation, and this little gown
was put together, ribbons and all. for
$6.75.
TT is our idea to have Atlanta girls
take up this dress designing and maxi
ing course simply on account OF the
fact that American girls as a general
rule do not look as we'll in French crea-
tionS as they do in gowns made right
here in this country.
This is true for the reason that only
French woman can wear French
gown with an air Of prOprlety
American girls need American cos
tunes. To this end we have inaugu-
rated the American designed and made
gown.
Several of our girls are at work
now on such gowns, and when the work
is finished the result will startle."
