dress occasion to find how strong Is
the liking for this material AS the
weather grows warmer It would not be
surprising to find the tafeta gown
with short jacket, outnumbering ciotn
suits for street wear.
II is a sensible plan, when making
I'D a taffeta dress, to make two waists
/ One. having the body and sleeves OF
lace. with some sort of drape OF the
taffeta, and one of taffeta finished WIN
sleeve ruffies of net or lace ana wlreo

portunities for usefulness SO mucr
that one gown comes very near TO III
ting all occasions.
Skirts of taffeta are provided Will
tunics long and short, with slight bus
tie drapery and with apron oversklrt
draped In the back. For decoration
one may look for inspiration to IN
gowns of the sixties. made of the sam

Roost mites are very common anu
troublesome. When they become

building. especially cracks and crew.

Mites are easily exterminated o'
applying kerosene to all INFESTED
PARTS of the building. They oecom'

roosts once every four or six week

The best fence for the poultry yard
is woven-wire fencing Of some kind.
The wire fence Is cheap and durable,
as well as easily constructed. II the
yard is large the fence need not be
higher than four feet except where
Leghorn fowls are kept. Even this

Preparing Goose Feathers.

Goose feathers are prepared uy e1
posing them to the sunshine or In a
stove until perfectly dry, and then
beating them to remove the dust and
loose dirt. When carelessly collected
and dirty, they may be cleansed with
lime water, or, still better. with a
weak solution of carbonate of soda
or with water containing a little soiu'
ton of chloride of lime: after which
they are rinsed in clean water, and
dried as before. Old feathers may DC
purified and cleansed In the sams
