1t is true that many thousands of
city jewellers who have, in their nat
ural love of the country, longing for
a home with ground and garden, are
unable to secure what they desire, for
various reasons-principally because
of lack of means.
City jewellers are compelled for the
most part to live il flats or apart
ments, with never a look at trees or
grass. Privacy, so much to be de-
sired, is out of the question because
of the common hallway, and the
tramping of feet overhead is con-
slant reminder that the place is not
q home but merely a place to stay.
The whole idea of the builders of
city homes" is to economic space

II the brass buttons and other mill

and the sound of drums in some cor.

and gold braid promptly supplied by
vigilant Dame Fashion for the fitting
occasion, writes Lillian E. Young in
the Washington Star.
Many of the newest tailored suits
and frocks are undeniably martial in
appearance, and, let it be added, unde-
niably smart on that account.
Here, for example is one in black
velvet with collar and cuffs of white

artistic and everything must bend to
the one purpose of earning an income
from the investment. The occupants
live along, and constantly dream of a
little cottage with a few vines and a
garden place in the back yard, and a
place for the children to play where
they will not be under the constant
espionage of janitor with a crouch.
This is all wrong. And, further, it
Is unnecessary.
You may be a salaried man. You
may think you cannot do differently.
You may not have the money to buy
the ground, it is true, and to authorize
q builder to put you up a house such
as you want. You have always
thought that even if you bought a
house you must take one already
made by some real estate firm and
pay their high price.
Now, listen. The real estate man

PURE WATER SHOULD
BE GIVEN POULTRY
Best of All Substances to Use as
Antiseptic Is Potassium
Permanganate.

| The most sure and rapid method BY
which infectious diseases of all kinds
are transmitted through flock of
birds is by means of the water pail
from which they all drink in common.
Furthermore, the water itself may
come from contaminated source and
be the origin of infection to the flock.
Finally, it is difficult to devise any
satisfactory drinking fountain in which
the water is not liable to contamina-
ton from litter, manure, etc.
All these considerations indicate the
advisability of adding to all drinking
water which is given to poultry some
substance which shall act as harm
less antiseptic. The best of all such
substances yet discovered for use with
poultry is potassium permanganate.
This is dark, reddish purple crystal
line substance which can be bought Of
any druggist. 1t ought never to cost
more than 80 cents pound and
pound will last for a long time. 1t
should be used in the following way.
In the bottom of large-mouthed
jar, bottle or can put layer of potas-
stun permanganate crystals an inch
thick. This water will dissolve all of
the crystals that it is able to and will
make stock saturated solution. AS
this solution is used add more water
and more crystals as needed, always
aiming to keep a layer of undissolved
crystals at the bottom. Keep dish of
stock solution like this alongside the
faucet where the water is drawn for
the poultry.
Whenever any water is drawn for
either chicks or adult fowls add
enough of the stock solution to give
the water rather deep wine color.
This means one to two teaspoonfuls of
the stock solution to ten quarts of wa
ter. At the same time one should
clean and disinfect the drinking pals
and fountains regularly, just as he
would If he were not using potassium
At the Maine soation
plant, writes Prof. Raymond Pearl in
a recent bulletin, for some four years
no bird has ever had drink OF water
from the time 1t was Matched which
did not contain potassium permanga-
nate, except such water as it got from
mud puddles and the like.

him the plan of the house shown here,
and say: "Yo0 are. In the business OF
building and selling houses on small
payments. You want your customers
satisfied. Probably you are going to
build a number of houses in the next
few months. Here, now, is a house
that just suits me. If you will Guild

combination as high-priced oats it
would be foolish to advocate them.
especially when we have to purchase
| our feed.
During the winter months, in root
growing country. !, believe roots are
a good food and should compose a
large proportion of the ration, and
believe in boiling the roots and feed
ing some grain.
Do not load them up with a great
lot of water, feed the roots in rather
a thick batter, and mix in your shorts
and middlings, and whatever grain you
might happen to have.
For the larger pigs pulp the roots
and feed the meal sprinkled on.
like to take the chill off the food, and
always see that the pigs clean the
trough up, leaving no material in
them.
A great many people make the mis-
take of having food left in the troughs.
Pay particular attention to cleanli%
ness, have dry beds and give them
dry straw to lie on.
In the winter months give them
wood ashes and charcoal, and sod
or earth of some kind. Earth seems
to be absolutely necessary to keep
the digestive organs in good condition.
Milk is one of the best things for a
pig.
Nothing lengthens them out like
milk, if properly handled.

Titles and Taxes IN Spain,

In Spain titles of nobility are taxed
In the same way as houses or land.
Moreover, each separate title is taxed
and for this reason certain members
Of ancient families in which a number
OF titles have accumulated drop some
in order to save money. Owing to the
system long prevalent in Spain by
which women OF noble britt transmit
their title not only to their children
but to their husbands, SO that a
plebeian marrying a duchess becomes
a duke, Spanish titles rarely become
extinct unless the holders deliberately
discard them.

CBy W. r. CELEBRITY
A mistake that we often make is
that we wean our pigs too young. ]
believe in getting the little pigs
started OFF to eat at three or four
weeks old. and there is nothing better
than a little milk and shorts to get
them started. Then feed them liber-
ally, and by the time you wean them
at eight or ten weeks old, you have

am satisfied that great many of
our people lose all the profit in the
business by the way they handle the
pigs at the weaning-time l am a
strong believer in raising the little
pigs out in the open.
OF course you must have shelter for
them in storms, and for feeding pur-
poses, but let them have access to
the earth; keep them ON the ground,
and give them green food, and you
will get them to develop bone and
muscle, and strong stomach.
They are always on their feed and
always at their feed. l like to have
them out on a clover pasture, or on
peas and rape. For later pasture rape
gives satisfactory results OF course
you must feed the pigs reasonably at
the same time.
We all know that for economic pro-
duction mixture of several grains
fed together will give better results
than any one grain fed alone.

DIPPING HOGS FOR
NANCE AND INSECTS
Effective Mixture Can Be Made
From Crude Petroleum.
Treat Whole Herd.

Treatment of hogs for mango should
begin with a vigorous scrubbing with
brush, soap and soft water, so as to
remove the crust. A variety of coal
tar dips are on the market. Most of
these are quite satisfactory if of suffi-
cient strength and warm enough
(about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Do
not boil). The hog should be given a
good, thorough soaking in the dip,
not less than two minutes. The hog
must go under, head and all, at least
once. Treatment must usually be re-
peated one or more times at intervals
of eight days. Treat the whole herd
and do it thoroughly.
An effective dip can be made from
crude petroleum as follows:
Four gallons crude OIL
Sixteen gallons water
One pound soap.
The soap should be dissolved in the
water by heating. An emulsion is
then made by adding the oil and
thoroughly churning the mixture. Wa
ter in different sections differs very
greatly in the way it will combine
with soap. If this amount of soap
does not give a good emulsion, simply
add more soap. Avoid oily dips in
cold weather.
While the hogs are taking the dip,
thoroughly clean and then disinfect
the pens. In case of true mango the
trees and everything
against which the hogs can rub must
also be disinfected. Use strong dis
infectant and plenty of it. After
treatment do not put hogs back into
lousy or NANCY pens.

TRAINING the Golf.

Commence handling the colt when
he is no more than week old. Be
kind and gentle with him. When
hitching up for the first time, don't
hitch to anything that he can turn
over, or that will make q racket and
scare him.
The essential factors in training are
good care, daily handling, kindness
and patience. Don't wait until he is
two or three years old before you be-
gin to train him, for then it is big
task. One is apt to get in a hurry to
get the colt doing something and try
to train him in very snort time, With
bad results.

sion, and remember that lips which
curve upward and smile are much
more attractive than the dropping
sort.
A delightful way of imparting deli
cate scent to the hair is to let it filter
through in the form of steam. 1t
sounds difficult, but it is not at all.
Simply fill small bowl with boiling
water and pour some of your partic.
ular perfume upon it. The two liquids
will not mingle, but if you hold your
head over the bowl the steam of the
water will carry the scent with it and
through the nair in most satisfac-
tory fashion.

is the intention of those behind the
movement to have on hand at all
times samples of all trees in the bark

the school children may acquire a
knowledge that may be of use to
them in later years. Another move
ment on foot in that city, is to have

Broadcloth and satin are much

be skirt of broadcloth with a bodice
of satin. Plaid broadcloth is also
used. But it is plaided in dull, deep

ployed in the seasons plaids and
stripes, are infinitely more pleasing

Doors Of Great Importance

The construction of doors in the

good form of construction is to set
two-byfour pieces, spiked together

They should be placed SO that the
edge of the two-by-fours face the
doorway, leaving the fiat side for the
doors to rest against in resisting the
pressure from the silage.
