poultry keeping is the chief industry The

Factor ia supply.

The usual advance in the price OF eggs
during the fall Of the year. particularly OF
fresh eggs. is largely due to natural
causes. There is u time each year dur
ing the hens life known as the moult-
ing period, when the hens shed their old
feathers and grow new ones. This process
begins at any time from July l to Sep
TENDER /, and occupies about ninety days,
the age of the hens having considerable
influence on the time they start to moult.
Two and thr,e-year -old hens do not be
gin to mout as early as yearlings.
Hens do not start to lay until "A week
or two after the new feathers are fully
grown and the bodies Of the hens are well
protected from cold weather During the
moulting season few, II any. eggs are laid
because all the feed the hen consumes liz
needed to keep up her health and vitality
and produces the new coat OF feathers. 1t

BRIEFS FOR POULTRYMEN.

The scarcity Of eggs and the corresponding
high prices may he IA temptation for some to
give a stimulating food to their stock which
Will be used as breeders next spring. Don't
do It, 1t Is the surest way OF cutting down
the fertility and imparing the hatchabillty,
Another thing which Will affect the fertility
is the too liberal feeding OF green cut bone
and beef scrap. Fed In moderation they tend
TO make better fertility and stronger chicks,
Don't expect the best results from your
breeding stock II you feed ono grain only.
THIS will have a tendency OF lower fertility
and produce chicks OF low vitality which Will
be hard to raise and altogether prove dis
appointment
Feed your hens plenty OF finely ground
food such as bran, shorts, corn meal and a
small quantity OF beef scrap with this give
coarseiy cracked corn and whole wheat, seat

work hard for every grain. This method Will
stimulate egg production.
Remember that egg shells are composed
largely of mineral matter. and oyster or
clam shells must be supplied that the hen
may do her best.

University OF Wisconsin. who empha-
sizes the need Of clean, wholesome
food for the production of first class
eggs Hens that are forced to obtain the
greater proportion OF their living as
scavengers and given poor range to
work on cannot produce eggs OF as good
quality as can n flock which regularly

protein have n watery white and the shell
is apt to be thin owing to the partial alb
sence OF lime. Such eggs besides being OF
less value as IL food, are more than
likely to bring forth puny chicks of low

clover, oyster shell and sound grains In

Ideal Food for Laying Ucns.

Prof, Rice OF Cornell holds that the
fowls should eat about one-half as much
mash by weight as whole grain. Regu-

in the morning and about all they will
consume at the afternoon feeding in time
to find grain before dark. In the case
of pulcts or fowls in heavy laying re-
strict both night and morning feeding to
induce heavy eating Of dry mash, espe-
cially in the case OF hens. This ration
should be supplemented with beets, cab
bage, sprouted oats, green clover or other
succulent food. Grit. cracked oyster
shell and charcoal should be accessible
at all times Green food should not be
fed in a frozen condition. All feed and
litter used should be strictly sweet. clean

A rooster is n young fowl about full

most profitable age at which to fatten
them IL when they are from 3h to I

greater gains than at any other time.
They should be fattened as early In the

MILLINERY FOR men
The Headgear of "Nuts" in Brit
ish East Africa.
Natives Are Extremely Vain; and as

They Display Great Ingenuity
In Adjoining Them.

London.-it is not only In Bono
street and other haunts of fashion
that feathered millinery is the order
of the day. 1t would almost seem as
If the big Paris and London millinere
had taken q trip to British East At
rica and evolved the latest styles from
q study Of the native headgear.
The natives there are extremely
vain, and since hats form the chief
article of their attire, they display
great ingenuity in adorning them. II
the results are not strictly beautiful,
they are at least striking.
Some Of the headdresses are made
out of gazelle skins and trimmed with
hawks feathers, others encircle the
face something after the style Of q
nuns headdress. but perhaps the one
with the long. upright feather most
nearly resembles the millinery Of the
moment at home.
But whereas in England 1t is the
women who spend feverish hours and
enormous sums of money in the desire
to obtain something really chic. In
British East Africa 1t is the men who
take so much pains over their person
al appearance. Far from adorning
themselves. the women are actually
compelled to make themselves as un-
attractive as possible.
It may be that their lords and mas
ters can flaunt their own finery with
more effect II the other sex Is unbe-
comingly garbed. or perhaps they fear

monopoly Of frills and furbelows that
many of them would find their days
empty and shorn of interest were
there no pilgrimages to the drapers'
and no consultations with dressmak'
crs and milliners.
As for deliberately making them
selves unattractive. it is doubtful

whether any civilized woman could be
induced even to attempt it, and it is
quite certain that no civilized man
would be courageous enough to pro-
pose It.
Some Of these dusky nuts are
quite imposing-looking men, and can
carry on even q rather overpowering
head-dress with q certain amount Of
distinction, whereas q woman. unless
she is tall, il often quite overwhelmed
by the gigantic feathers and enormous
wings so popular in modern millinery.
Whether fashions change in East
Africa as frequently as they do in Eu-
rope we are not told. It is probable,
however, that feathers are always pop
ular, since they are the ornaments
most easily procurable by the young
bloods who indulge In elaborate mil.
linery. Flowers would be rather in.
congruous, and it IL probable that the
tying of q really fetching bow would

GREEN HAIR ANCIENT STYLE

on the canvasses wore green hair.
The historians now discover that
Duke Augustus of Saxe-Gotha and Al

Grassi to give tho men and women he
painted the green hirsuite adornment.
The duke argued that a. hair was the

So far. however, the fad Of green
