CLEANING CRASH AID LINEN
Use Of Gasoline, Instead Of Tubing,
viii Prevent All Shrinkape Of This
Comfortable Material.

One objection made to crash suits
when they appeared in force this sum
mer was that they shrank They do
IL you give them a chance, but that is
about the only objection you can find
against them They wear we'll, they
are smart looking, they keep their
shape, they are cool and comfortable
In fact, they are everything that a
summer suit should be. But they do
shrink when they are washed.
Therefore, don't wash them That
Is to say, don't wash them in water.
Use gasolene. Have plenty Of this
cleaning fluid 1t is 80 or 40 cents
a gallon and gallon is enough to
clean whole suit. But don't skimp
on the gasolene. II you are tempted
to do so, think how much the profess
sional cleaner would charge to clean
the suit, or else think what a disap-
pointment it would have been if you
had sent the suit to the laundry and it
had come back to you just about big
enough to fit the kitten.
Don't try to clean with gasolene a
VI ash sui lunL Has DG6u once 10 LHG
laundry. 1t will be already shrunk,
and, moreover, gasolene does not al
ways clean satisfactorily material that
has been washed in soap and water.
To clean the crash suit immense it
in gasolone. Then rub the most
soiled parts-the hem, the, collar and
cuffs and the front gore of the skirt.
Rub them between the hands briskly.
Then immerse the suit again in the
gasolene and then hang it on a hanger
to dry. Don't wiring the gasolene out,
but hang the suit up wet. The next
day, after the gasolene has had time
to evaporate, press the suit The coat

DRESS HAIR TO SUIT FACE
While Prevailing Styles May Be Fol-
lowed, Individuality Is Always to
Be Considered.

There are some women who remain
true to the parting in the middle of
the hair, but the many prefer the part
ing on the side. The forehead is en-
tirely covered, as are the ears, and
there is no bulge anywhere over the
surface of the head. The hatter the
better. This is the fashion Every
individual must modify it to suit her
head and her face, for it is inartistic
and foolish to follow any fashion with
out regard to your personal appear
ance. q
If a parting is not becoming. then
omit it and draw the hair softly
back. If ones eyes are at their worst
with the hair brought down to the
eyebrows, then it must be lifted
The main mistake that nearly every
woman makes in arranging her hair
according to the new fashion is in run
ming it down in bias line from the
middle of the forehead to the lobe
of the ear 1t was this line on each
side of the temples that contributed
to the hideousness of the 1865 couture.
Women who take the time and
trouble to study their faces never use
this line. You will notice that they
make it as regular as. though it were
carelessly scalloped across the brow
and temples. They give it an inward
curve at the. end of each eyebrow and
then bring it out In front of each ear.
This line is as old as art itself and
can be seen on any of the famous pic
lures and statuary. 1t is not Grecian
in it's strictest sense, but it is classic.
or course the outward swerve in front
OF the ears is highly exaggerated by
some women and an eccentric effect Is
produced, but that does not destroy
the fundamental beauty of this line,

DUROC JERSEY BREED
Three Essentials Necessary in
Establishing Herd.
Breeder Should Have Clearly Defined
Ideal in Mind and to Mate Ami
mails to Produce That Type
Let Pedigree Care for Itself.


From our limited knowledge and
experience we con Jude that but three
things are necessary to enable a
breeder to produce a herd Of Durocs
of reasonably similar type. We place
these three things in the order Of
their importance, as ability, time,
and money writes the Northwest Agri.
culturist
In the first place, the breeder must
have clearly defined ideal in his
mind. Of the type Of hog he will try
to produce before ability even
will be of any service to him And
we are free TO admit that as far as
we know, this ideal hog has never
made its escape in the flesh from the
mind of any breeder as yet least
wise we have never seen or heard Of
its having been at any OF our shows.
With this ideal firmly fixed in his
minds eye. he is now ready to eYI
ercise his ability to first select ami
mails of his ideal type and, secondly,
to mate them so as to produce this
type as nearly as possible
That there are many. many per-
sons engaged in the rearing Of Du-
rocs who lack thls ability is pain
fully evident as one visits the vari-
Gus herds scattered abroad IN the
land These persons can be divided
into two classes those who are just
raising hogs to get as many and as
Ifel f,f
aught else, and who should be called
meat producers only, while the
other class, seemingly intent on mat
ing, SO as to get as many high sound
ing names on one pedigree as posi-
BILE, with the sole ambition Of boom
ing things or making a high pubic
sale average, with no regard to type
or usefulness, can very properly be
called spectators
The true breeder is he who is ever
working toward the desRed end Of
producing the perfect or .dea type.
He does not mate ,pedigrees. he
mates type and lets the pedigrees
take care of themselves, being fully
aware that if he can produce the in.
dividual excellence the pedigree will
be all right, however it may read.
NO matter what his ability, the
person just starting in to breed Dut
rocs will find ample use for ali the
skill he may possess With conditions
as they are at present almost as
many different types as there are
hogs there is a great opportunity
for the aspiring breeder to show what
he can do

SPADING UP FEEDING PLACE
1t viii Tend to Purify Ground and IL
duce Exercise on Part of Flock
Which Is Desired.

tBy N. E. CHAPLIN, Extension Poultry
Specialist, University Farm ST. Pau
Minn)
On most farms feed for the flock
scattered about on the ground, al
the chickens are continually fed wit
in q small space. The surface of tha
ground soon becomes foul with tiA
droppings of the flock. True, the SUI
shine acts as germicide, and if Il
space is at all slipping the washill
of the rain helps some, general
the spot is level and often muddy
The ground quickly becomes cor
taminated, with the continual tram
ing of the flock, and if there be OF
sick fowl the whole flock may soc
become infected. This is especial
true with small chicks and young tn
keys The first advice given in case
Of general loss is change your fee
place. It is often impossible to fir I
another location so convenient and n
cessible.
The spading up of the feeding plac
once OF twice per week will brin ,
good results It will tend 20 purifT
the ground. 1t will induce exercis ,
on the part Of the flock, which is All
ways desirable. Especially is tn.
true when the flock is confined ia
yards, and green feed, so necessary, IS
difficult to obtain. If grain is sea
tered, as one spades up the grouf
much will be buried so deep that heI ]
will not scratch it out and it will L !

SOME POULTRY CONCLUSIONS
Expert Of Missouri Station Gives Out
Few Practical Suggestions on
Chicken Raising.

Under the heading of Lessons
Learned, Sir. Quisenberry Of the AIis--
souri, experiment station has issued
the following notes for poultry raisers.
based on the years. work in the egg
laylng contest at that station
That there is no variety Of breed
which far excels others in general use
las Tar as egg production is concerned.
That some hens have a born ten
dency to lay, and others have born
tendency to pution fat. The latter kind
should be culled out in establishing a
laying strain
That a little moistened food is rel
ished and will increase egg produc-
ton
That many high producers lay thin
shelled eggs, and that the germs are
often weak. A few high producers are
able to lay large numbers of eggs, fer
tilize them and put Vitality into the
chick
That the Mediterranean class can
stand more protein and fattening food
than the birds Of the American, Asia
tic or English classes. There IS not 50
much danger Of. the Mediterraneans
becoming 100 fat, and they require a
richer food than the other classes mem
toned.
That the purpose of properly feeding
and housing a hen is not to feed eggs
into her body, bat to SO feed and care
for her that your max, get out Of her the
eggs which breeding has placed there.
Proper feeding housing and care have
a Bearing on the number Of eggs pro
duced By asflock, but breeding is most
important,
That the best producers have broad
bodies The back is broad, and the
ribs are widespread, giving plenty Of
room for egg and digestive organs,
That good layers are big eaters. "A
bird must have capacity to eat and di-
gest a big amount Of food il she is to
lay well
That most of the high producers
have good sized combs for their breed

to overcome this is to have the feed
