COMBINATION BAG AND MUFF

Easy to Garry Out.

muff and bag"
She handed the muff to her compan-
ion for inspection. says the Christian
Science Monitor. In it were two bags
or pockets. The first was large, being
about two-thirds the size of one side
of the muff, and in this were slipped
small packages, letters or anything
of the kind that it was necessary to
carry, and a large button securely
fastened the lap which prevented any
thing from slipping out.
On the outside of this large pocket
was a small one for holding a little
pocketbook and keys. This was also
fastened with large button and but
tonhole, so that the contents Of the
pocket were secure and this saved the
carrying of a handbag, which was
great convenience and enabled the
owner of the muff to keep both hands
protected.

DUST BATH IS A NECESSITY
Insects and Suffocate Them
Any Dry Dirt ls Good.

In every poultry house there should
be a dust bath, where the hens may
get rid of lice. Poultry lice breathe
through pores in their sides, and fine
dust fills these pores and suffocates
the vermin. Road dust, hard coal
ashes, or dry dirt of any kind, will
accomplish the purpose. Wood ashes,
if damp, may stain the feathers and
otherwise harm the fowls.
Sometimes, if the hens are badly in
tested, Persian insect powder may be
added to the material in the dust
bath. A tight box, three feet by three
feet, and one foot deep, is a good re-
ceptacle for the dust. 1t should be
placed where the sun can shine on 1t,
as many hours as possible; for, when
the hens are not exercising by
scratching for their feed, they will
spend a good deal Of their time in
the dust bath, which induces exercise.
The hens will not use the bath
freely unless the air is warm, for they
dislike to open their feathers and ex-
pose their bodies to air below so de-
grees.

LESS HAlR-SPLITTING DONE
Courts Everywhere Are Refusing to
Throw Out Cases on Account Of

Justice Seabury OF New York had a

money due the complaint alleged that
the claim was for services rendered.
The attorney for the defense claimed
that the requisite term was for serv-

declined to do so, evidently bearing in
mind the modern principle that cases
are not to be dismissed for errors in

some actual right of the defense.

FEEDING THE YOUNG CHICKS
Hard-8oiIed Eggs, Stale Bread Crumbs
and Milk, Oatmeal or Rolled Oats
Are Recommended.
By ALICE M'FEELY. University Farm,

CBy ALICE MFEELY, University Farm,
St Paul, Mimi
When Matched the chick contains a
natural supply of food, sufficient for
thirty-six hours. For this reason it
should not be fed until this natural
food is absorbed and it is able to run
about and seek food for itself
This first feed should consist of
hard boiled egg (shell and all mashed
together), stale bread crumbs, stale
bread and milk, pin-head oatmeal or
rolled oats. Any of these will be
found a satisfactory fcod for the first
two or three days. For brooder chicks
the dry feeds are recommended.
Chicks should be fed these feeds Oh,
a broad or shallow pan and what is
not eaten within ten minutes or so
should be removed from the pen and
the board or dish cleaned. Five meals
a day is sufficient, though if con-
en- and in smaller amounts. After the
first few days, these feeds should be
replaced with such grains as finely
cracked corn, pin-head oatmeal, crack
ed wheat and millet seed.
The prepared and already mixed
chick-feeds that are found on the
market are usually satisfactory. Corn

ally. The manner and time of feed
ing these is immaterial If the chicks
are not overfed, but the hard grain
and seeds should be fed in litter Of
cut straw, cut hay, hay chaff, or cut
alfalfa or clover. Some form of green
food should also be given.
Pure water should be supplied, suf-
ficient for a days requirement, each
morning. If possible, milk should be
given in addition to the water; for
young chicks, the milk should be per-
fectly sweet. A good rule to follow
is to keep chickens busy and hungry.
Do not feed them until they are hun
