Caused Her Little Inconvenience.


A New York letter tells Of west
ern girl, unused to the insidious cock
tail, who was dining in a Broadway
lobster palace. The dinner apparently
was given in her honor. She gulped
down her cocktail manfuliy but with a
WY face. During the dinner her
hostess noticed that her cheeks were
flushed, that her eyes sparkled and
her face heamed. The hostess felt a
little concerned about her. but why, it
was hard TO say. as she was not in the
chicken class. Perhaps il was because
of the loudness of her laugh and con-
versation. Anyway. the hostess leaned
across the table to whisper to her,
why, Kate. do YOU feel that cock
tally" oh. yeS.' was the westerne- ;

The president of a western college
was spending some time in a large
eastern city. In order to study condi-
tons in the city he occasionally took
his meals in the poorer restaurants.
One morning the waitress brought him
some breakfast food that was wormy.
He called her attention to the fact. The
waitress said she would go into the
kitchen and see what could be done
about il. In y few moments she re-
turned. and said: Since the breakfast
food is wormy, you may have il for
five cents. - HarPers Magazine.

STYLES IN FALL MILLINERY
Forecast Seems to Make Sure That
Small and Medium Sized Hats
, Are to Take the Lead.

Small and medium-sfzed hats will
take the lead There will be va
riety of shapes. but the most prom
inent are the sailor. mushroom poke,
and the small hat with the left side
rolling brim. Sailors are many times
given poke effect. The front brim is
often made shorter than the back,
and slight bend in the center front
gives a decidedly poke effect. The
mushroom poke is small, and the
brim is perfectly straight. The crown
is medium high and soft. This ap.
plies to nearly all fall shapes
The season will start out with fao'
recovered hats of MORE, satin, tat
feta, panne velvet and malines. Ma.
lines win be extensively used in the
trimming of fall hats in the form of
bows and pleatings. Bias double ruff
fies of maIines are often used TO fin
ish the edges of the bri1ns.
Extensive use of ribbon is prom
ised High standing bows. with the
highest loop measuring fourteen
inches. win be seen. The butterfly
bow is composed of four wired loops
with rounded edges. Two of the loops
are in the center. with one on either
side. The windmill bow, similar in
shape to half a windmill, is generally
made of ribbon, while the butterfly
bow is of malines or crepe.
High-standing front or back trim
mings are preferred. Bows Of malines
or ribbon are almost always placed
at the front or back, never at the
side of hat Coque and quilts will
be the prominent feather trimmings,
and are made in novelty form. They
will be arranged in the direct front or
back with bows Of ribbon.

GREATEST ENEMY or CHICKS
That Which Causes More Loss Than
Anything Else ls chiIiina-ver-
min Is Next Important

The greatest enemy OF the chick.
and that which causes more loss than
any other one cause, is chilling; the
second enemy in Importance because
Of amount OF loss is lice; both lice
and chilling are the indirect cause OF
bowel troubles, because both sap the
vitality and life of the chick, making
1t impossible for the little fellow to
resist the organisms of disease whcih
are always ready to attack it,
busting the setting hen helps. but
some lice are quite sure to escape,
and can later be found on the head
Of the chick. Rub a little dab of lard
on top of the chuck's head getting 1t
into the down thoroughly, and you
will get these: repeat the dose in
week, and If the hen is furnished a
good busting place, the lice are not
likely to give any more trouble; but
whenever you see chick that seems
unhappy, eyes closed, droopy, look for
lice
The brood coops should be thor
oughly sprayed before using with some
coal-tar preparation, sheep dip, white
wash, or a mixture of four parts coal
oil and one part. crude carbolic acid.
1t pays to be ahead and that explains
why SO few of us are making anything
on our poultry we neglect these little
things; because of neglect disease gets
the start of us, we become discouraged
because of the losses, and give up and
blame our luck when all the bad luck
might have been prevented by little
careful preparation.
Give the checks clean place, all
the heat they can stand, keep them
free from vermin, and you can safely
count them before they are raised.

given at these meetings by the person
in charge, and prizes are awarded for
the most perfect goods. This work is
rapidly extending into all the states
and in year or so the entire country
will be organized into canning clubs.

GOOD USE FOR WASTE
Conservation of All the Products
Raised on Farm.
Department Of Agriculture Devotes
Much Time Toward Solving Prob
lem of Much Importance for
Farmer and Fruit Grower.

For several years the United States
department of agriculture has been
devoting a great deal of time toward
solving one of the most important
questions before the American farmer
and fruit grower today. This is the
conservation of all products on the
farm, letting nothing go to waste.
Special trains with leading govern
ment experts in charge have been sent
out through the country to demon
strate and lecture on the various ways
by which the enormous waste of this
country. can be turned into profit.
While many subjects of great interest
were discussed there was, perhaps,
nothing of greater importance than
the subject of caring for the millions
of dollars worth of fruits and vege-
tables that go to waste every year, by
the canning process.
The advisability of canning the sur.
plus at home or on the farm, where
produced, was explained by these ex
perts and steam canning outfits were
shown SO that the farmers and their
wives could see how easily this work
can be done. AS the heat of boiling
water is not sufficient to properly
sterilize such foods as vegetables

BAD PRACTICE OF FARMERS
One Cannot Afford to Burn Corn
Stalks and Put Nothing Back In
Form of Humus.
(By B. e. sARA)

1t always makes me feel sad to see
smoke arising from the burning corn
stalks in the field, because the farmer
is burning up his land eod doesn't
know it, How can we expect to burn
up stock which the soil produces and
put nothing back in the way of humus,
and then hope to keep our soil in good
condition?
Maybe I'm wrong when I say that
farmers do not know what they're do
ing, for doubtless some Of them do
know that it is a bad practice, but
burning stalks is easier than disking
or cutting them up, and they are a
nuisance to pillow them under. Some
farmers say there is no benefit in
blowing under stalks, but | cannot
figure it out that way, because dc
not see how we can go robbing our
soil and keep up the fertility. 1t costs
very little to keep a sheep and q
flock OF SO sheep is worth money.
