with fur, fur cuffs and often a band
of fur around the hem.
Most of the suits and costumes are
made of velvet broadcloth, broadtail
cloth, duvetyne, serge and garbardine,
while combinations of satin and faille,
velvet and fur-cloth are theseason's
favored characteristics.
The full ripple skirt is seen in
many attractive models, the ripple
being caused by the circular cut of
the skirt. This skirt is very short and
full at the hem but closes at the hips.
The full circular skirts and models,
in which box and side pleats are in
troduced, are becoming popular.
The hip-length suit coat is observed
in several clever styles, and is often
finished at the lower edge with a
broad band of fur. Various types of
long coats show fulness at the hips,
and, over all, hovers a suggestion of
militarism which will probably mater
ialize later.

binations of materials. Forinstance, a
model with redingote of taupe-col-
ored broadcloth had sleeves and the
foundation skirt of self-toned benga-
line. The redingote neck, sleeves and
hem were trimmed with landings Of
sable fur. Another combination which
was stunning was of brown carcual
cloth and satin.
Tulle, lace and chiffon play an i'm
portant part in the development of
evening dresses and are we'll adapted
to the various tunics which are worn
over skirts of satin and silk. The cuir-
ass, the moyen age, and the redingote
styles are all shown in tulle, Chantilly
lace, or elaborate jet embroideries
combined with satin.
The all-black evening gown is hav-
ing great vogue in all the newest
styles, for the softlaces and clinging
satins and silks in which it is devel-
oped are vastly more becoming than
when the sitter styles held sway.

There~is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by infiamed con-

famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when. it is en-

ruche of velvet, lined with rose-col-
ored satin, around it. The neck-piece
is a box pleated ruche of the velvet,
also lined with rose-colored satin, and
the muff is rather baggy in the center
and has a box pleated ruche of the
velvet at the openings for the hand.
Monkey fur is having perhaps the
greatest vogue of all furs for trim
ming. 1t is used as fringe around the
bottom of tunics, around the bottoms
of waists, on hats, where it is also
used to cover the entire crown of a
hat, looking quite like head Of black
hair where the crown of hat should
be. It is used upon light and dark
materials, upon velvet and broad, or
lace and chiffon impartially.
In one illustration is shown a dress
of blue charmeuse with a tuE;c Of
ecru net having margot edge in gold
thread. At the bottom this tunic is
finished with a fringe of monkey fur.
At the shoulder is a bright red rose.
Where the moyen age or basque eff
feet is not used in the designing Of a
gown, the wide girdle is added to give
the effect of the basque. The dress
the first illustration, shows the effect
iveness of this girdle. The waist is
made of net and has cape at the
back of heavy lace which is also used
for the high collar, wired to flare al
the correct angle. The tlnic, also OF
net, has wide band of velvet around
its lower edge. The skirt is of velvet
as is the wide girdle.
This wide girdle is feature which
will interest many women who are
trying to think of some way to rejuv'
enate last winters dress. Made ir
silk to match or of mildly contrasting
color it will successfully give the re-
quired up-to-date touch.

PLACE FOR HEN TO SCRATCH
Oat Straw Found to Be as Cheap as
Anything Else in Long Run-Buck-
wheat Is Too Fattening.

There are number of different ma
terials which furnish an excellent
place for the hens to scratch in, says
a writer in the Poultry Journal.
Leaves are probably the stuff most
used by the small poultrymen These
are good If gathered when perfectly
dry. They must be put into the pens
every few days, because the poultry
will break them into dust by their
continual scratching. l find oat straw
about as cheap in the long run, be-
cause 1t lasts quite a while and fur
nishes some feed if fed before thresh-
ing.
Some of my neighbors have tried
feeding buckwheat as a scratching
material and feed combined. Buck
wheat is too fattening and should be
used only occasionally. Corn husks
make an excellent scratching material.
Shredded or cut corn fodder does
very well II there is nothing else on
hand. / do not like any form of
meadow grass or swale for scratching
material because it mats down too
much when cut and not enough when
not cut.

be allowed. The depth is indicated
as feet 6 inches, but this may be
varied according to the size of the
cows in the herd. The manure gut
ter is IA inches wide and 6 inches
deep.
Floor.
The entire floor Is concrete, 6
inches in depth when finished, laid
over at least inches of cinders or
broken rock. Concrete is considered
the best material for several reasons:
Q 1t is sanitary; (2) it is economi-
cal because of its durability; (9) when
a reasonable amount of bedding is
used it is comfortable to the animals
and no bad effects result. The floor
is intended to be raised about one
foot above the level of the gorund to
insure drainage.
Alleys.
The alleys behind the COWS are
feet wide. Manure should be taken
away from the barn daily and depos-
tied in a manure shed or on the field,
and the alleys are designed with this
in view. 1t is undesirable, from the
standpoint of construction and sani-
tation, to have a manure pit under the
stable.
Calf Pen.
A comfortable calf pen should be
provided, effectively separated from
the milking herd. The one shown is
Fl by II feet. Individual stanchions
are provided for feeding calves grain
and milk.
Bull Pen and Box Stalls.
These are approximately 10 by 10
feet There is full window in each
stall, providing an abundance Of
| light.
Feed Room.
This is centrally located; two grain
chutes from the upper floor. A hay
chute from the loft above deposits the
hay conveniently to the feeding alley.
Watering.
Watering devices may be put in
the stable or provided for outside at
the option Of the builder.
Storage Of Feed.
There is no objection to storage
above the COW stable proper so long
as the floor is similar in construction
to the one in the drawing, SO as to
be kept perfectly tight.
Ceiling.
In colder climates it is deemed bet
ter to have comparatively low CELL
ing on account of temperature, and
this construction admits of changes
in this respect
Ventilation.
The plan adapts itself to any sys-
tenn of ventilation. The openings
shown give suggestions as to where
the fresh air may be taken in and
the impure air discharged.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The department of agriculture as
the result of great demand for in
formation relating to the construction
of dairy buildings started line of in
vestigation through it's dairy special
lists for the purpose of developing the
basic principles of such construction.
In order to make the work thoroughly
practical, these studies were extended
to the planning and actual supervision
of construction of number Of dairy
buildings in different sections of the
country. Few localities will require
or even permit of the same treatment
so far as exposure, size, form, or
building material are considered, but
the problem of light, floors, ceilings,
etc, are nearly alike in all cases.
Stable for "a Cows.
The plan shown is designed for "a
cows, ard allows ample room for calf
pen and box stalls for bull and cows.
also space for feed room, hay chute,
wash room and silo. The amount of
space allowed for the various pur-
poses will meet the usual require
ments. The arrangement of the
space can be adapted to the needs OF
the particular location.
Special Features Common to All Well
Planned Barns.
The width of this barn is 81 feet 4
inches outside. This allows ample
room for the stalls and passageways.
While the length here shown is 73
feet 6 inches, this depends on the
number of cows to be handled. The
side wills are built of brick or con.
crete up to the window stills, the bal
ance of the walls being frame. The
end walls are constructed of brick or
concrete up to the ceiling. A parti-
ton extends across the barn SO that
the COW stable can be entirely shut
off from the rest of the barn.
Windows.
One of the faulty points in ordinary
barn construction is the small amount
of window space usually allowed. This
plan provides approximately 6 square
feet for each COW. 1t will be noted
from the elevation that the windows
are sliding sash extending to the cell
ing, making them nearly twice as
high as they are wide. This arrange
ment will admit much more light than
the same space if the windows were
placed otherwise.
Manager.
The manger is planned to be 2 feet
wide and 6 inches deep, with slightly
rounded corners, the front sloping al
an angle of As degrees and the bot
tom being inches higher than the
floor of the stalls.
Stalls.
The width of stalls Is 8 feet
inches, which is as narrow as should

CARING FOR INDIAN RUNNERS
Green Feed Is Most Important Part Of
Ration Whenever Fowls Are Not
Free to Range.

CBy C. 6. VALENTINE. Poultryman.
Copyright. 1sl4)
The very special care of the Runner
younglings covers the first week, for
they must not be chilled, overfed or
left without water. They chill easily
at first and sometimes get cast on their
little fiat backs and may be unable to
right themselves. Water of bloof tenn.
perature should be the first supply,
then stale bread lightly moistened in
sweet milk. After a week bran, mid
dlings and later cornmeal and meat
scraps are added to the ration. Sprout-
ed oats, chopped lettuce or cabbage or
any available palatable green feed is a
most important part of the ration
whenever the ducks or ducklings are
not free to range. Nothing, however,
quite equals red or white clover or al
falfa, either grazed or supplied artifi-
cially. A new producer of green feed
for yarded fowls is the Chinese cab
bage, which looks like two foot let
tuce and is extremely tender.
Those who can should permit wide
range, with water privilege, after the
ducklings are seven or eight weeks old,
for this gives great muscular strength
and lessons feed bills, while with ma
ture ducks it is likely to increase the
hatchability Of the eggs. In general,
bran, middlings, shorts and red dog
are the main reliance to produce frame
and muscular development. Maize,
oats and barley meal (the latter two
sieved while the ducklings are yet
smalD tend to add fat Meat helps
along both lines, and bonemeal helps
to make good frame
Shelter may be of the simplest, but
must provide comfort and equable con-
ditions. These, after ample feed and
water, being the key to success, and
those birds which, when we'll matured,
are thus provided and allowed to order
their own lives within these limits
usually become the largest producers.
The greatest success l have known
has come through using barn base
ment for shelter, leaving food where
the birds always had access to 1t and
freedom to go and come at will. These
birds were handled by an elderly wom-
an, far past eighty, known as "a good
feeder" They produced for three years
under her systematic care an average
of practically So eggs from each 100
ducks daily-more, Of course, in the
summer than in winter The best
general average production of hens in
any state in the Union Census report)
is less than 20 eggs per 100 hens for
every day in the year, showing bal.
ance in favor of the Indian Runner
duck of 25 eggs per year.

RAPE PASTURE FOR THE HOGS
Very Rank Growth on One Acre May
Supply Feed for Twenty-Five Head
Seed in Spring.
1By DEAN MUMFORD of the Missouri
Experiment Station)

1By DEAN MUMFORD of the Missouri
Experiment Staton.)
A good growth Of rape will supply
pasture for 10 to 20 hogs to the acre.
A very rank growth may supply feeo
for rs head. Where the feeding is
to extend from 10 to ID weeks 1t is
advisable to pasture rape at the rate
of 10 to IL head to the acre.
The favorable time for seeding rape
lis in the spring as soon as danger of
hard freezing Is past 1t will furnish
pasture from the middle Of May until
the third week in August. Rape will
Withstand light frosts, but not hard
freezing The best results are OBJ
tanned when oats and clover are sown
with it. Sow from five to seven pounds
lof rape ahead of the drill and then
drill in one-half bushel of oats and
six to ten pounds of clover seed to
the acre. The rape and oats will serve
as cover crop for the clover and
usually good stand of clover will be
Iobtained that may be pastured with
hogs the following year.
If rape is not grazed too closely in
June and July, so that the stalk of the
plant is eaten off, it may grow up
and make fall pasture 1t should never
be pastured so closely as to destroy
all leaves on the stalk and stock
should not be turned on until the
lplants are from IA to Is inches high.
Complaint is sometimes made by
feeders that scabs and cores form on
the ears and backs of the hogs on
rape. The remedy is to move the
hogs to another pasture for a short
time and then dip them or apply sui
phur and lard to the sores.

RearInu Calves.

The man who plans to rear his heif-
er calves should bear this point in
mind: Vitality is one of the most i'm
portant things to be developed, and it
is obtained only through liberal feed
ing and proper care. And this Is
only partly true, for, unless the calf
is well-born to start with, the best
care and feeding will not produce a
