that is edged with fur.
The tunic is in two founces-the
lower one attached to plain net foun-

with fur. In front they are lifted a

MEDICI COLLAR WINS FAVOR
Excellent Reasons for Popularity of
This Almost Universal Evening
Adornment.

Medici collars flourish at evening
functions, where they appear on fully

obvious, since they conceal the ugly
back which disfigures many an other
wise pretty woman, or the scrawny
shoulders of the immature girl Jew
eled net or chiffon, beaded malines or
tinsel lace are made into these quaint
collars, which are of even height at
the back and sides and only flare
broadly at their ends, where the wired
edge is bent into a decided curve.
Antique laces the wonderful
creamy-toned meshes OF French, Span
ish or Italian origin-make up into
the most stunning of Medici collars.
They frequently are the only touches
OF lace about evening gowns or the
equally stunning confections worn at
afternoon receptions.
Plain and white linen, ajour Dor

about two yards OF satin ribbon, half

SMALL VS.. LARGE
CHICKEN FLOCkS
Amateur Should Start With Few
Birds and Gradually Work
Up to Full Capacity.

1t seems to be the ambition of the
average amateur to Immediately get
on top of the heap. He sees no rea-
son why he cannot at once establish
a good income from poultry farming.
and the way he figures out results is
really remarkable.
Do not his figures show that as he
made SO much profit on so hens, he
can make ten times greater on 500?
He forgets that in the care of SO
fowls he has plenty of time to supply
all their wants, and that they re-
ceived greater variety of food than
would be possible to give a flock ten
times larger The table scraps alone
in the feeding of so fowls is an item
which cannot be overlooked and which
in all probability contributed more to
the results than anything else.
In a small flock an ailing fowl is
more readily noticed than it is in
a large flock, for the reason that the
keeper has more time to carefully in
spect. In a flock of 500 the attend.
ant must hurry up his work of feeding
and watering and cleaning up, and he
at times only mechanically glances at
the birds.
Large fiocks necessitate the employ
ment of extra labor and the hired
man" question is serious one on the
poultry farm. 1t is difficult to secure
man who will take the same interest
in the fiocks that you will He is
working more for wages than he is for

The moral is this: Begin small,
grow gradually and stop growing
when your capacity is reached. II
hired help must be employed assign
some particular work to help, but let
the real personal management be in

IMPROVEMENT OF
ALL LIVE STOCK
Good Ram on Bunch of Grade
Ewes Is in Many Cases More
Than Half of Flock.

CBy HOWARD HACKEDoM. Missouri
5tarion)
The use of a good sire is one OF the
recognized principles of improving the
live stock. This principle is generally
considered to be fundamental by all
breeders of live stock, both breeders
of pure bred stock and breeders OF
animals for the open market. How
ever, some breeders through negiect'
or a lack of knowledge and interest
in the improved types, use sires which
retard the general quality OF their
fiocks and herds, rather than ad-
vance it.
Judging from the quality of native
lambs on the various Missouri mar
kets, lamb producers of this state are
realizing more fully each year the
economy of investing in good sires.
A good strong yearling ram should
be able to serve so ewes. A good
ram when used on a block of grade
ewes is in many cases more than half
the flock. because he will usually have
greater ability to stamp his charac-
ter on the offspring than have the
ewes. So with small flock of grade
ewes, worth from $4 to $40 per head,
one can afford to purchase a good
mutton ram. AS the value of the eve
flock increases one can afford higher
class ram.

Lambs should have their tails cut
on and be castrated in from seven
to ten days after birth.
Lambs just under ten months old
produce better meat at that age than
any other.
The best time to market lambs is
between January and May.
Never keep more than twenty-five
or thirty sheep in one lot together

The best time to have lambs to
come is about two weeks before pas

No every man can have pure bred
sheep but it is not difficult to obtain
pure bred ram.

housed up too closely. They should
always have plenty of exercise in the

A rough boisterous hired man will

ESSENTIAL POINTS
IN CARE OF MILK
System of Safeguards Should Be
Observed in Dairy House and
While in Transit.

Milk is kept wholesome after leav-
ing the cows by a system of safe
guards observed during milking in the
dairyhouse and while the milk is in
transit from the farm to the consum'
er.
The precautions observed during
the milking are sterilized white duck
suits for the mixers. careful washing
of hands after each cow is MIXED,
milking through sieve into the pail,
and straining the milk when 1t is
poured from the pail into the can.
The foremilk, as the first milk that
is drawn is called, is also discarded,
thus preventing any bacteria which
may have found their way into this
part of the milk from getting into the
milk that is kept.
All the milk is exposed to the barn
air but a very few minutes and IS
taken into the dairy just as soon as
the cans are filled.
The range of yield per pound OF
milk is very wide, it taking from
eight to ten pounds of the richest milk
up to 80 and over of the poorest to
make a pound of butter. The average
of common stock in the country Is
about 25 pounds. Anything between
