Kittens Ear and Peau de S0uriS Are Used In Many Scanned Basque
latter Is Dark, Dull Wine Costume With Skirt Rpped
 Slightly at Sides-Another Creation Is Forest
 Green Broadcloth With Long Coat.

A late importation in peau de souris is a dark, dull wine costume, | whose skirt is rippled slightly at the sides because 1t is a little bit drawn l back-not drawn up, for, about it is no suggestion of draping. It simply is not plain. Nor is it gored. The 1 coat whose seams are cut to follow l the curves of the figure, is slightly gathered at the back under wide l belt, which stops at seams starting almost under the arms, but slanting l outward at the waist. Where the elbows would naturally touch the . sides of the coat the detached belt renews it's course and crosses in front, sloping sharply away from the l waist line The sleeves are a trif1e ! wider than are those of the gray CO.'S 1 tume's coat and instead of turning l back into broad cuffs the fulness is gathered to the outer side of the arms and caught under a row of | self-covered buttons
 Double F1uted Frin Revival. l Tricotine in cedar green is excep- l tionally satiny of surface, as seen in l a fetching afternoon gown. At glance one realizes that it's basque is l rich in seams. pair of seams start scarcely two inches apart under each arm. A single seam centers the back and makes it fit smoothly. the while l making it look radically different l from the fronts, which ripple cross | wise, because gathered into seams 1 running from the shoulders to the hips. .a.
 ] These six long seams as well as 1 the cross-rippled fronts of the basque fastening with ball buttons, run un- der a sash swathing the hips, knotted | low in front and dropped to the hem of a full over-dress that covers all save a fingers length of the under skirt At sides and front this over dress is gathered to the edge of the basque.
 [ But just as that basque's back diff | fers vastly from it's front, so does the rear of the Over-dress differ from | every other portion of it. From three
 inches below the waist line and be- tween the last of the two under-arm seams the material is nine times shirred across, producing frill-
 headed panel, under which the hip- swathing sash starts. Ball buttons trim the closely fitted sleeves half way lTOIH WTlSl IO olUOW, ana uc- fning the neck is a fluted double tulle collar, standing straight upward from a black velvet tie. If you would learn from whence comes that dou- ble fluted frill, turn back the pages
 of the family album until you come to the photograph of the aunt who was a belle during the late eos. She
 will be wearing it about a neck barred only when she dressed for a ball.
 Military Effect in Green Broadcloth. Another creation for the autumn,
 in forest green broadcloth, shows
 the longer fall coat. This additional
 length is effected by ripple tunic
 joined to the upper portion of the
 coat, which is gathered at the waist
 line. Loops of braid and braided but
 tons add military distinction, as also the high, square shoulder effect. Skunk fur edges the light f1aring collar. The skirt forms deep box pleats.

WITH STRAIGHT SKIRT WITH or
 WITHOUT RUFFLEs. WITH SHORT oI LONG SLEEVES.
 Children's fashions are very certain te follow the trend of their elders and just now frills and nounces that give breadth over the hips are in demand. This little frock shows that treatment and also the Japanese sleeves that are extremely becoming and graceful while they greatly reduce labor. In one view, the ruff1es are omitted when plain simple frock results. As matter of course, that treatment is correct but the ruflcs add daintiness. They can be made of material, lace or embroidery. As shown here, the frock i. made of embroidered muslin with Va. lenciennes lace as trimming. If some thing very dainty for dancing or occa- sions of the sort is wanted, net could be used with ruf1es of some simple lace or of the material picot-edged. For the plain frock without rufflcs, any simple childlike material is appropriate. The tucks in the body portion provide just becoming fullness. The skirt Is perfectly straight gathered at the upper edge.
 For the year size, the dress will require PA yds. of material 27, IA yds. 30 or A in. wide, with 6 yds. of in. 'ertion, 8H yds. of edging.
 The pattern S3oo is cut in sizes from to years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of HIS paper, on receipt of ten cents.

CAREFULLY GULL ALL RUNTS
as Birds Show Pronounced Symp-
toms-Feed is Wasted.

There are sure to be few runts
in every flock, no matter how hard
the breeder may strive 10 guard
against them. Usually these runts
may be told from the time the little
chicks are FIVE weeks old The man
ner in which they carry themselves
when moving around shows that they
can be nothing but runts when grown
up. No matter how hard you try or
how much feed you put into them.
they will be nothing but runts. The
feed and time taken 10 make their
growth will be practically wasted, as
the birds will never sell for one-tenth
what il cost to raise them.
Usually the best way is TO kill them
as soon as they show pronounced
symptoms OF being runts. 1t may ap-
pear cruel, but It is better for the
birds and certainly better for the
grower. Removing them puts them
out OF their misery and insures that
the other birds will be healthier.
Runts invariably contract every dis
ease which is prevalent and carry 1t to
the healthier birds in the flock.

BoNEMEAL GOOD FOR SWINE
Good Results Obtained at Missouri
and Nebraska Stations-strensth-
enIns to the Bones.

All kinds OF bonemeal are used in
the manufacture OF fertilizers, but
not all kinds are suitable for feed for
swine. Bonemeal from a glue factory
which has gone through the process in
which acid was used is not suitable
feed. But any bonemeal, especially
green bone that is ground finely
enough, may be fed. Steamed bone
meal is good.
At the Missouri station bonemeal
was fed with good results. About an
ounce OF meal was fed to each hog per
day
At the Nebraska station four lots of
pigs were fed TO determine the value
OF wheat short, tankage and steamed
ground bone as supplemental TO corn
meal. The hogs were pastured on
alfalfa, and for this reason the lot
fed on corn alone made about as salts
factory gain as any. although the lot
which was fed bonemeal in addition
TO the corn had the strongest bone.
Shorts strengthen the bone some,
and tankage with corn produced
much stronger bone than corn alone.
Where mixed rations we're given, OF
skim-milk or good pasture, all OF
which supply ash material. it is
doubtful that bOnemeal is OF much
value other than for the purpose OF
strengthening the bones

Ducks always sleep on the floor or

Pekin ducks that have been well
fed and cared for through the winter
will usually begin laying very early
in the spring; sometimes before the
cold weather is over. Ours used to
begin about the last week in February.
But it is difficult to keep the eggs from
getting chilled. when they begin to
lay so early, and besides, the first few
eggs a Pekin lays each season will
not hatch.
II the weather is not too cold. March
is about the proper time to begin saw
ing the eggs. Remember they will not
keep in hatchable condition very long.
Wrap each egg in paper and keep

A Bad Arrangement, for Duck House

and look through the glass once in a
be painting with their mouths open.
They should be removed at once and
given a drink OF tepid water II the
air is cold they should be placed in a
brooder as soon as taken from the
incubator.
Be sure TO have the brooder properly
regulated. The temperature should be
be about 80 at first. Keep the ventila,
tors in operation all the time, and
lower the temperature as the duck,
lings get older.
When two weeks old 10 degrees will
be warm enough. When four weeks
old they need not be kept in a brooder
at night II they have comfortable
house TO sleep in.
Don't overcrowd or overhead in
brooders. The first feed for the
ducklings is dry bread soaked in sweet
skim milk or water. Don't let it soak
too long, or II will get gummy, and
that Is what ducks do not like.
They cannot or will not eat sticky
feed: they simply shake II out OF their
mouths. and then it is wasted. Old
ducks do the same thing. Place some
clean water beside the feed each time
Cold water will do when the ducklings
grow older.
Some coarse, clean sand should be
placed in the water each time or in
some shallow vessel near the feed or
water. They need both grit and water
while eating.
But do not add sand or any other
grit 10 the feed. Don't confine ducks
to one kind OF feed They like a
variety. Never give young ducks milk
to drink. They will smear their heads
with 1t and become very messy.
Corn bread is very good for young
ducks. but II is very fattening We
never feed raw mixtures to newly
hatched ducks. They will eat raw
food, OF course. but it will sometimes
cause bowel trouble
Too much milk will sometimes cause
II, also. Green food is essential from
the start. II there is plenty OF grass
in the yard that will do. although they
like 1t best when It is added to their
grain food.
We use green clover. green rye.
cabbage. dandelions, onion-tops, etc.
Green oats are also good for this pur-
pose. All should be cut small enough
for growing ducks to eat with ease.
We do not often begin feeding raw
mixtures until the ducks are several
weeks old. although some green stuff
is added once or twice a day.
The Pekin ducks should be fed four
or five times a day from the time they
are hatched until ready for market.
The best time to sell ducks is when
from 10 to IA weeks old. At this age
they should weigh anywhere from four
TO seven pounds each.

HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS
When Possible Poultry Products
Should Be Sold Direct to Con-
sumer-co-operste With
Neighbors.

There is no satisfaction and but
very little money in exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. BY being care
full in gathering eggs, so that they
won't become chilled in winter and
SO the hens won't sit on them over
night and using a little care In sizing
and selecting. quite an advance over
the common prices may be obtained
When possible sell your eggs direct
10 the consumer. II not possible, get
a market in your nearest city with
some grocer who deals in strictly
fancy groceries and provisions. Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then. for your own sake
live up to the agreement. Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't send small
misshapen or large ones. Stamp each
egg with a rubber stamp, using your
initials or the name of your farm, and
in a short time you will have created
a demand for your eggs, and when
you have created such a demand your
eggs will bring the highest prices
considerably more than your store
keeper would pay.
Several neighbors should send their
eggs together. paying a cent CT two
per dozen 10 one OF their number for
doing the business. and in this way
all would gain little.

CAREFUL WATCH ON RESULTS
Abundant Supply Of Pure Water
Should Be Within Reach Of Cow
for Large Yield Of Milk.

Feed boxes and hangers should be
kept clean to see that the cattle clean
up their feed and are keen for the
next feeding.
Keep watch OF their droppings to
zee that no food passes through undi-
gested Note carefully the results OF
every change OF feed and never make
too radical changes in the ration.
Try TO have each COW up to her
maximum production within 30 or 40
days after she freshens.
Whether the COW is kept for milk
or butter production II is equally i'm
portant that she be brought to her
highest production OF milk regardless
Of the quantity OF butter fat contained
in the milk.
Unless she be brought to her highest
production in this length OF time her
milk yield for that milking period will
be materially decreased Good pure
water, and plenty OF 1t. should be in a
convenient place where she may have
access to 1t at all times. so that she
may drink all she wants.
When We consider that a COW needs
FIVE pounds Of water to make a pound
Of milk IL is plain to be seen that she
must have plenty OF water II she is to
produce a large flow OF milk. Salt is
another essential and cows should
have plenty OF It to keep them In good
health.

CARE FOR POULTRY DISEASES
One Important Thing Is TO Isolate All
Ailing Fowls to Prevent Infection
Of Whole Flock.

Poultry diseases usually are not so
very hard TO handle. IL they are under
stood, and hens are cared for properly.
One important thing is TO isolate all
diseased birds, so they will not infect
the rest Of the flock.
Here are the common poultry dis
eases and the remedies:
Colds and Roup-Disinfect drinking
water as follows: To each gallon OF
water add the amount OF potassium
permangate that viii remain on the
surface of a dime.
Chicken Pox-Apply a touch OF 10
dine and carbolated vaseline to each
sore.
Gapes-New ground and vigorous
cultivation will often remedy this
trouble.
Scaly Leg-Apply vaseline TO az
fected parts. and after "a hours soak
in farm, soapy water. Repeat the
treatment until cured
Diarrhea in Hens-Low grade wheat
-four or middlings is good for this
trouble.
Bowel Trouble in Chicks--Well-boil-
ed rice mixed with a little charcoal
will often check this complaint.

rather expensive feed mixture for

BILE to separate the ewes from the
lambs. 1t might be advisable TO give
the lambs a larger proportion OF corn
and the ewes a smaller proportion OF
corn. Enough grain should be given
to keep the ewes in good flesh. but not
fat. The roughage ration for these
sheep is not Of hrst-class quality. and
therefore it will be necessary TO give
good grain ration.
