COST OF LIVING INCREASED
sible for Farmer to Haul His
Products to Market.

Tie people who groan urder the
high cost Of living and wonder why
necessaries of life like potatoes and
cabbages and turnips and apples

they would bring high prices in the

bad farmers experience difficulty in
getting their produce to market When
roads are very bad there are states
Of the weather in which the hauling
OF heavy wagon loads from farms to
railway stations becomes impossible.
The farmer would like to sell what
he grows. The city dweller would like
to buy it, Both have an interest in the
building and maintenance of good
roads, providing at all seasons OF the
year available highways between tie
cities and the farms.
Sometimes roads that would be In
fair condition for teaming are cut up
by reckless automobilists. The wanton
destruction of highways by auto
scorchers should not be permitted.
Automobile owners as a class have
done much to improve some of the
roads, but on the whole western roads
are a disgrace. There must be aroused
public sentiment in favor Of good
roads. There will be when it Is real
lied that good country roads are a

this way and worn with black coats

of trimmings of the Scotch material.
They are incorrectly called 'plaids''
in England. The plaid is the shawl or
rug. Tartan is the pattern of it, and
the Scotch would stare astonished at

FEATURES -OF TAILOR-MADES
Many Distinctive Effects Will Be No
ticed Among the Styles Of the
Coming Season.

The three-quarter coat finished at
the bottom with a closely killed frill
will be a feature of many of the sea-
sons tailor-mades, and the folded sash
of figured material will be another. A
very advanced tailor-made model in
brick-red duvetyn had a knee-length
coat with killed frill some six inches
deep around the bottom. A sash Of
oriental silk was draped round the
waist with one long folded-over esd
hanging down The back slightly to-
ward the right side. At the back the
skirt of the coat was cut into pointed
tab, which buttoned over onto the sash.
The same pointed tab effect was shown
in the new sleeves, the tab being cut
in one with the shoulder. and the long
sleeve put in separately. This is a
most effective little coat. and so thor
oughly up to date that 1t is certain to
remain in fashion for many months to
come.
Another stylish model is exhibited
fashioned of covert cloth. The skirt
is draped high in frcnt under q tab
of the cloth, under which at either
side the peplum top is set. The lat
ter drops lower in the back to point
following the lines of the short coat.
A big turnover collar having points on
the shoulder is of white linen with
bias bands, embroidered in black and
red floss.

HIGH R0OSTS FOR CHICKENS
Much to Blame fer Mortality Among
Young Fowls Is Laid TO Over
erowdins In Small Coops.

Because overcrowding in small
coops placed near the ground tends
TO iniure the health of young chick
ems, II is advisable to teach them 10
use perch roosts as early as possible
and practicable. This is the opinion
Of James G. Halpin, in charge of the
poultry department OF the University
OF Wisconsin's college of agriculture.
Halpin also lays much Of the blamo
for mortality among young chickens
from roup and similar diseases during
the early winter months TO neglect
on the part of their owners In seeing
that they are placed on roosts early
In the season.
When chickens are left out on cold
nights in an iInprovlsed shelter they
ere sure to huddle closely together. In
this way the bodily temperature Is
raised above normal. and they become
easily subject to colds. which often
lead to fatal diseases.

sprayer. This not only gives protec-
tion to the wood from the weather, but
tends to keep down insect pests. the
success being still greater IL the in
side is treated in a similar way or with
frequent sprayings of kerosene.
II you are troubled with rats, n
cement floor will stop their progress
and will be easily kept clean. A
scratching shed is a great advantage,
and in summer it will be most useful
for keeping the chicks dry during
rainy weather or while the dew Is on
the grass.
A compartment for nesting boxes is
also a convenience. Hens like to be
removed from the flock at this time;
and If this is not done there is uneasi-
ness. and when they are sitting, great
danger of breaking the eggs.
Cheese boxes make convenient nests,
and these may be obtained OF the local
grocer free or for a trife. Never allow
the nest boxes to be fastened perma-
nently. They should be removable and
frequently cleaned out and treated
with a good insect powder.
There are many good insect powders
in stock; many that are worthless.

Why DO rot most women take great
er care OF their eyebrows?
Until ursightly bald spots appear
many seem to thinE they are inde-
structible. and others are content with
unevenly growing ones. Yet the dell

Every woman can spare minute in
the morning to brush the eyebrows
from the nose outward always-with a
small. soft brush. This Stimulates
them, removes dust that hinders their
growth and keeps them smooth and
in place.
If the hair is scant or beginning to
fall, a lotion will be found an excellent
restorative. 1t should be rubbed in
with the tip of finger every night,
care being taken to stroke outward.
The lotion is composed of oil of neroli.

The beginner will do well to begin

There are only q few poultrymen
capable of carrying on with profit a
business where the hens are counted
by the thousands. though SO many
are making the hundreds profitable
that the poultry products Of the Unit
ed States equal those Of the dairy in
value.
An expensive outfit is not only un-
necessary, but unadvisable. Use the
ruder forms to begin with. and make
the profits pay for the more elaborate
buildings. II they cannot do this,
you do not need the buildings. A
warm, and especially dry situation is
the prime requisite. OF course. there
must be good ventilation.
Many secure this by using cloth in
stead OF glass In the windows. The
method admits light, and at the same
time allows for the circulation Of air
without danger of draft. Use new
muslin of light weight, preferably un-
bleached, ns IL is stronger. Old cloth

The material used for the building
will depend largely upon circum.
stances. Some have had excellent re-
suits with only the shelter afforded
by old rails and corn fodder. But in
other locations this would not be an
economical plan. The plan of using
two piano boxes, removing the top and
