PRACTICAL TALK ON POULTRY
Much Advice Given by Theoretical
Writers Not Worthy of Consid-
Grafton on Average Farm.

The advice commonly given in poul-
try papers would require one to exer-
else nearly as much pains in the
cleaning of a chicken house as in the
cleaning of a kitchen. Such advice
may be suitable for the city poultry
fanciers, but some of it is out of place
when given to the farmer. Poultry
raising, the same as any other farm
work, must pay for the labor put into
it, and this will not be the case if at
tempt is made to follow all the sug-
gestions of the theoretical poultry
raiser.
The ease with which the premises
may be kept reasonably free from lit
ter and filth is a largely matter of
convenient arrangement. The handi-
est plan from this viewpoint is the
colony system. In this the houses
are moved to new locations as the
ground becomes soiled. If the chicken
house is a stationary structure, it
should be built away from other
buildings, scrap-piles, fence corners,
etc., so that the ground can be fire.
quently freshened by blowing and
sowing in oats, rye or rape. The
ground should be we'll sloped, so that
the water draining from the surface
may wash away much of the filth
that on level ground would accumu-
late. Cleanliness indoors can be
simplified by proper arrangement
Many poultry writer's give innumer-
able diseases and lists of remedies
concerning which the average farm
poultryman needs no knowledge
whatever. There is very little def
nitely known on the subject of poul-
try diseases. Poultry ailments are
assignahle to one Of the three follow
ing causes, or combination of these:
First, hereditary or Unborn weakness;
second, unfavorable conditions of food,
surroundings, etc.; third, germs or
animal parasites.
A great many chickens die within
the shell or during the growing pro-
cess, there being no assignable rea-

SCRATCHING POST FOR HOGS
Successful Plan Adopted by Maryland
Swine-Breeder-Crud Petroleum
ls Fatal to All Vermin.

If hog knew how to tell his wants
he would demand a scratching post.
Such posts, in the opinion Of many hog
growers, are not only source of great
comfort to hogs-the picture of a. hog
or pig scratching himself and softly
granting his content is worth couple
Of hours of any mans time in fixing
up big post-but the post may more
over be made useful in Kidding the AMI
mails of lice or scaly skin.
A successful Maryland hog grower
adopts this plan: Firmly plant hick
DRY or oak post four inches in diameter
in the hog run. Coil a Manila rope
around the post as high as hog stands
and staple 1t on securely. Then thor
oughly saturate the rope with crude
petroleum, and it becomes an ideal
scratching post for hogs and pigs.
They rub up against it continually,
and oil is fatal to vermin. Kerosene
can be used, but it evaporates too rap
idly.

is best made up along plain and Sc
we're lines, like those shown in the
model pictured.
There is not much warmth in an
outside garment which leaves the
chest uncovered, and therefore SINH
lar little coats are shown with wide
revers to turn forward when one is
outdoors and away from the chest in
doors. But the lovely Paquin model,
which we are studying, was not de-
signed so much with reference to it's
practical side as to it's picturesque
and novel appearance. The clever ham
ding of the fastening in front, where
ribbon is wrapped about the fur and
we are left to wonder how the wear
er gets into or out of the gown, is
most attractive.
The standing and full riff of tulle
is wonderful touch in the finishing
of the costume.
In keeping with it, and not taking
the attention at all, the fur trimmed
turban of black velvet with it's little
nosegay of gay flowers is just the hat
for this gown. The ensemble leaves
nothing to be desired-it is simple
enough to please the most quiet taste
and distinctive enough to suit the
most discriminating dresser.

3 AQUIN, who delights in surprising

ID AQUIN, who delights in surprising
i us with novel and intricate gowns,
sometimes charms us with the sim
plest of creations which still embody
the stamp of Paquin distinction. One
of the latter is pictured in the illus
tration here. The skirt is of black
charmeuse with little coatee of
black velvet and bodice of plated
chiffon.
The skirt is marvel of clever ad-
justment to the lines of the figure by
means of shaping and the least posi-
BILE draping. It is made in one with
the corsage which includes the little
coat and bodice effect. A more prac-
teal development of the toilette would
manage to make the coat separate,
because it could be removed indoors
or worn as separate coat with other
gowns.
The coat is trimmed with fashion
able skunk fur in a fine silky grade.
This fur varies SO much in quality that
some skins are worth twice as much
and more-than others. It is used on
practically every outside garment
which women wear.
This gown should be chosen by
those of plump figure who wish to
wear velvet. Like other pile fabrics
velvet must be carefully managed and

remedy is to breed from the better
stock.
The prevention of the second class
of ailments comes under the general
head of 'Feeding" A chicken, wheth-
er young or old, to thrive well, must
have exercise, clean water, grit, va
riety of grain food, green or succu-
lent food, and casein or meat foods.
The food requirements of a laying
hen are very like those required by
a growing chicken. Yarded or shut-in
hens should be supplied with moro
lime than the food contains, however,
to provide for the egg shell. Crushed
oyster shell is much used for this
purpose.
The third class of ailments belongs
to the group of contagious diseases.
These contagious diseases may be
grouped into the general classes:
First, those highly contagious; Sec
ond, those contracted by fowls that
are in a weakened condition. Chicken
cholera is representative of the first
class. This is spread by droppings
and dead birds, and through feed
and water. To stamp out the disease,
kill and burn all sick chickens, and
disinfect the premises frequently and
thoroughly with a spray made of one
half gallon carbolic acid, one-half gal
Ion of phenol and 20 gallons of water
Corrosive sublimate one part in 1000
parts of water should be used in the
drinking water.

Combination OF
WHITE WITH
BLACK CREPE

A PPARENTLY the combination of
IA white with black crepe has come
to stay. In those shops that special
lie in this branch of apparel one sees
a great deal of white crepe used in
millinery. In the winter time it ap-
pears in facings or borders, or in
made ornaments. It is in facing hats
of black crepe that it is best liked.
For summer mourning, white crepe
is used more extensively. All-white
hats, and combinations of black and
white crepe, in which the latter pre-
dominates, gives us a new kind of
mourning millinery in which it is pos
sible to be comfortable and to look
cool as we'll.
The method of draping wells varies
with the season and with ideas that

position of hats for first mourning.
Small face wells of net, with narrow
border of crepe are supplied on the
models that carry the long crepe wells.
All models in mourning millinery are
made up in the fashionable shops I'm
either white or black, except in cases
where the character Of the design
calls for combination Of the two or
for one color alone. I
The manufacture of crepe has been
so perfected that it has become prac-
tical for people of moderate means.
The waterproof1ng processes have
made it among the most durable of
fabrics instead of fragile, as it used
to be. We are indebted to the Eng
lish manufacturers for this fine
achievement. Crepe used to be q
luxury which only rich people could
really afford.

side, they are not safe against each
other.
"The farmer has, however, become
more or less imbued with the spirit
of commercialism-w the idea OF
farming solely for money. He raises
big crops of corn, oats or feeds many
cattle to sell. And he sells them at
the other fellows prices, hurries them
on a glutted market and then turns
around and buys many things that he
could have easily produced on his own
farm, at the other fellows prices. In
this way he puts himself in the en-
emy's hands twice-once when he
sells and once when he buys.
1T seems to me that the first thing
you should do is to surround yourself
in farm homes with everything that
will be conductive to your comfort and
welfare.
Produce first the things you need,
be it fruits, vegetables or meat; then
after you have fortified yourself on
your farm fort, let the other fellow
have any surplus, If he will pay your
price for it.

self in the simplest way imaginable

lutions and profound magazine arti

Comforter Slip.

Make your comforter in the usual
way, using white cheesecloth next to
the cotton. Take your silkoline or
other goods; steam it up in the usual
way, sewing the edges together to
form slip; now slip it on the white
comforter and tie enough to hold it in
place. When comforter becomes soiled
take the slip off and launder; hang
the cotton on the line. Beat lightly
with the carpet beater; you will hate

hard labor Of lifting a heavng WET

Cause Of Roup.

It Is a noted fact that where roup
has become epidemic among fowls
they were crowded in tightly built
houses when the weather was very
cold and these houses allowed to re-
main closed all the next day. This
creates a moisture which generates
dampness and the house becomes a
vault.

ADVANTAGE in Dairyinu.

The greatest advantage in dairy
farming is its relation to the fertility
of the soil. No other system Of farm
ing excels it in this respect and but
few equal it.. A farm used for dairy
purposes does not lose in fertility,
but gains, and may be used for this
purpose almost Indefinitely.

the state began to arrive Monday
afternoon for the Thirteenth district

Mrs. George Williams of Mishawaka.
1t was at first thought probable
that a reception would be held this
evening for the visitors who had ar
rived but owing to the fact that most
of them are just returned from the
strenuous days of the biennial in
Chicago, it was thought better to
forego social affairs.
