USEFUL HooK-AN0-EYE BOX

Have you ever hunted In vain for
the special size of hook and eye you
needed? If not you are an abnormally
neat woman, or one given to buttons
or pins.
During that mad hunt through a
badly mixed box of sewing utensils
you doubtless vowed to have a sep
arate hook-and-eye box forthwith.
Then you promptly forgot.
The next time Immediately hunt a
number of card envelopes, and on the
flap of each one sew hook and eye
to show the size and color within.
Put these envelopes neatly In a small
box and your miserable fishing days
are over There should be separate
holders for cards of hooks and eyes.

Of an envelope, but take up more room
and are less easily handled.

BREEDING EWES
DURING WINTER
0vercrowding Is Direct Cause OF
Many Losses-Outdoor
Exercise Needed.

Weak. emaciated ewes cannot bring
vigorous. well-developed lambs in the
spring. 1t is imperative to have the
eve flock in good condition during
the winter. SO that they may bring
good. robust lambs and supply them
with plenty OF nourishment
Overcrowding the eve flock during
winter is direct cause OF many losses.
1t not only causes ewes to become
sluggish and dull. but frequently It
raises the temperature of the barn
and causes the ewes to perspire, and
when they are turned out in the
yards they develop colds with the re-
suit of catarrh.
II possible they should be kept in
focks of twenty to forty ewes. In
this way there will be less danger
of crowding. and they will exercise
freely. Breeding ewes should have
exercise. and every day when the
weather is fine they should be allowed
to roam over the yards and pastures.
Out of door exercise and plenty of
pasture will insusre a crop OF thrifty
and well-developed lambs next spring.

For Evening Wear.

Evening dress is quite lovely this
year, and the tunic as much to the
fore as ever. though rather shorter
than that of last winter. The bead
embroidery is all the rage. and 1t is
almost crowded upon the ninon that
composes these tunics. They are OF
the most vivid colors, and the variety
Of designs Is surprising. There ap-
pears to be no end to the inventive
ness of the clever brains employed in
this interesting If arduous work. The
great difficulty must be to differen-
tiate the patterns from each other.
One Of the loveliest has two long
stemmed lilies rising from the hem in
front. and border OF similar but
smaller lilies finishes the tunic The
color is cerise, with crystal beads,
and a curiously effective touch is the
very narrow, fiat piping. in the very
palest greenish blue, which finishes
the tunic around the shoulders and
borders the sleeves. Lovely effects
are made by laying these beautiful
colors over each other.

WHY FLOWERS AT WEDDINGS
Pretty Custom That Has Been Handed
Down Through Centuries Has
Real Significance.

Flowers, of course, always have
been used at all festal occasions, and
30, consequently, at the weddings of
practically every nation. They are the
symbol of gayety, and hence their pro-
fusion at that most joyous of times
q wedding.
But some of the flowers have more
than 9 general significance. For ex-
ample, there was long a custom for
each guest to dip sprig Of rosemary
into his cup of wine before drinking
the couples health. The bride Qf she
were not a widow and the BRIDE
groom once adorned themselves with
garlands of wheat. This was a symbol
of plentifulness and increase and at
the present time the bridal wreath Of
orange blossoms possesses the same
meaning.
In I'VE olden times" there were gar
lands, garlands everywhere at a we'd
ding ceremony. Even the rejected
suitor sometimes wore a garland of
gray willow.
Besides the flowers, both the bride
and bridegroom wore true love knot,
an ornament introduced into England
by the Danes in the ninth century and
called the -"trulofa," the troth. The
bride of that time was supposed al
ways to wear three ornaments ring
for pledge. brooch for innocence.
and garland as a crown of victory

tBy R. O. wEArHERsroNE,

II Is fact of common knowledge
that marked differences exist between
individual animals as regards the re-
turns which they yield for the feed
consumed. A current statement is
that a good feeder has greater d.
gestive power than poor one, or that
the power OF assimilation OF the one
animal Is superior to that of the other
and 1t has been assumed that the nd
vantage of the better type OF animal
lay In its ability to produce more
flesh or fat from unit of feed than
should the poorer one.
1t has also been commonly taught,
and seems to be generally accepted
by the animal husbandmen as an es-
tablished fact, that the young growing
animals not only make actually larger
gains than the more mature ones. but
likewise more economical gains.

the utilization OF feed by cattle has.
