PROPER MANNER TO
UNC0lL NEW ROPE
There Are Two Ways of Per-
forming This important Duty,
One Right, One Wrong.
CBy !. NJ. DREW

The proper way to take rope from a
coil is to draw it from the middle.
There are two ways to do this, right
and wrong way. If it happens to be
done the wrong way the rope will be-
come twisted in a manner that will
make it almost unmanageable. II done
the right way it will come out without
any twisting or snarling and all the
rope in the coil may be drawn out
without trouble. To do it properly
the rope should be uncoiled toward
the left, or opposite the way the hands
of a watch or clock run.
BY finding the inside end of the coil
and observing how it uncoils, one may
tell whether or not he is starting in
the right way. If the rope uncoils to
the right instead of the left the whole
coil should be turned over and the end
pulled through from the opposite side
of the coil. The rope will then uncoii
to the left and cause no trouble.

ENCOURAGE PURE
BREED OF POULTRY
Farmer Should at Least Pur-
chase Ii-Blooded Cock, Dis
posing of Old Rooster.
tBy b. NELSON

In many localities the barn-yard
fowl will not give way to the i'm
proved breeds. If you cannot afford
10 buy an entire breeding-pen of pure
stock, at least obtain a full-blooded
cock and send the old common rooster
TO market. This will greatly improve
matters. if you are careful TO retain
the best pullets of this cross-breed.
and when you have a stock of good
ones sacrifice the old hens Cannot
farmers be prevailed upon to do this,
when the supply of eggs, even in the
villages, is too small in winter? When
eggs are scarce and the prices high,
do not some diminish home con-
sumption, and even then complain of
the small number they have to take
to market. A thoroughbred hen of a
good strain will lay nearly fifty per
cent. more in the number of eggs than
a common hen. If the prices diminish
a little the increased production of
eggs will much overbalance the
account. Too many persons raise
poultry without regard to the use of
pure breeds and regardless of an effort
to maintain the high standard to
which our domestic fowls have at
tanned. The increased evidence of the
fact that high-class poultry pays, is
surely sufficient to encourage us to
strike out boldly and extensively In
this field of enterprise. Every effort
in this direction will meet with such
favor that success will surely follow.
Contrast the present with the past, and

1t has a dropping brim with puff OF
velvet about it. A Numidi feather in

be placed at the front and be equally
fashionable. for those who would like
it better there.
A wreath Of tiny velvet roses is
placed about the crown, with velvet
foliage. The corded silk is laid in
plaits about the crown, and the raw
edge turned under. The r0se-wreath
defines the line at which the crown

instead of the corded silk.
AS the weather grows colder this
coat may be used by wearing a warm
jacket under 1t and a fur or plush
neckpiece with 1t. The hat Is suitable
for the entire season. 1t would be a
pretty development to make a muff
matching the hat, using the same vel
vet and silk, as there is a fancy for
odd neckpieces worn with hats and
muffs that match.
No one should face cold weather
without a muff of some sort, or wait
until the last moment to make one.
