An afternoon gown of messaline silk,
pictured here, is one of many that the
amateur seamstress may undertake
with assurance that success is easy.
The summer afternoon dress is about
the most satisfying of all the clothes
wherewithal we are clothed and any
number of them have been designed
(of the lovely fabrics made for wear
in the good old summer time) that are
easy to make.
In the dress pictured the skirt is
straight and short and full. 1t has a
high waist line with a shocked or
shirred panel at the front and single
box plaits disposing of the fullness at
the sides and back. Two knife plated
ruff1es extend about the skirt near
the bottom and at the hip line, but
they terminate at the front panel on
each side.
A loose, plain blouse of chiffon in
the same color as the dress with
Dutch neck has a narrow knife plat
ing of the messaline festooned across
the front. A short jacket of the mes
saline is decorated with small buttons
and these and the odd sleeves with
turnback cuffs, are forceful little items
in the very good style of this gown.

PRACTICAL WAY OF
FEEDING CHICKENS
Grains, Greens or Animal Food
Should Not Be Given Poultry
Unless Real Tasty.
By D. ]. LEUTZ.)

OF course, foods that are not tasty,
whether grains, green's or animal
food, should not be used as poultry
feed, even though they contain all the
desired elements of nutrition. Fowls
appreciate a change of diet as often
as possible. The same grains in diff
ferent forms may be a change to them
and yet contain the same nutrients.
One man thought he was feeding on
balanced ration because he fed corn
mea, dough in the morning, cracked
CORE at noon and whole corn at night.
A balanced ration for one flock may
be too narrow or too wide for another
By narrow and wide we mean the
proportion of protein, the flesh and
| tissue-forming nutrients, compared
with the carbohydrates, the fat, heat
and energy-making elements A good
proportion for an average flock is enc
portion Of protein to five of carbo-
| hydrates, usually designated one to
| five. By average flock we mean one
that is composed largely of American
breeds. The Mediterraneans are nat
urally more active and will do better
on wider formula, or about one to
six. This, Of course, depends some
what upon the condition of the birds
and the season of the year.
It's a mistaken notion that hens will
lay eggs when spring comes, whether
the food is properly fed or not. True,
when warm weather comes they will
get around the farm and pick up q
part Of their living in the garden and
about the barn. When a hen lays she
is getting nutrients from somewhere
in addition to air and water. If we
analysed fowl or chicken, we would
find about 55 per cent. of water, nearly
% per cent of protein, II per cent OF
fat and about per cent of ash. In
an egg we would get nearly Sc pei
cent of water, a little more than II
per cent of protein, about 9 per cent
of fat and IL per cent ash. If chicken
is deprived of any of these ingredients
in its food it cannot develop in nice
proportions. If it is compelled to con
sumo a surplus of one in order tC
get a sufhciency of another, it viii
not remain in good condition.
To get eggs, we must first supply q
sufficient quantity Of nutrition to sus
tain life, repair waste and give G
surplus to make the egg. If a hen Is
an egg machine she must be built tt
make good layer. If the egg is the
finished product of the raw materia
we give the hen, it must be such thai
she can make eggs from 1t. No doubt
she will do her best to be reproductive
but she must live while producing
eggs. Then the food must be filling
to satisfy the appetite, and not Sc
concentrated as to injure the diges

one that is healthful and nutritious

American and English Girls.

If the American woman could see
her European sisters in captivity she
would have a better appreciation OF

Of the happiest suggestions for the
afternoon gown. To pick out the IN

effects for afternoon dresses is to be

GET BEST RESULTS
FROM SHEEP FLOCK
Income From Few Lambs and
Animal FIeeCeS Is Quite We'll
come to Average Farmer.
(By w. M. KELLEY.)

The best possible care and feed for
the young lambs on our farm is given
through their mothers and to this
end 1 aim to have the ewes in the
finest possible condition up to the
weaving time. By this do not mean
fat, but in good flesh and strong and
hearty for their ration at every feed
ing time.
My lambs are fed no grain until
they are three and a half to four
months old, when they are weaned.
They will be fed a sufficient amount of
grain during fall and winter to keep
them in good condition and thrifty,
shorn early and turned to grass and
sold the first of next June when they
will be about fourteen months old.
They will still be lambs, as they
will not have shed their lamb teeth,
will bring lamb prices and will have
made the greater part Of their flesh
on grass.
When one has little pasture the bet
ter way is to crowd the lambs with
liberal grain feed and market them in
J the early winter, or better still, have
the lambs dropped in January or
February; teach them to begin eating
grain at two weeks old, crowd them
for all they will stand and place them
on the market when weighing from
forty to fifty pounds each.
This is dollhouse lamb business.
There is great money in it, but few
farmers are prepared to carry it on
1 do not consider it as profitable to
raise sheep for wool as for mutton
but the two are so closely connected
that they can hardly be considered
separately.
1t is possible to grow good, heavy
fleece on mutton carcass and the
sheep with which this can be done is
altogether the most desirable sheer
for the average farmer to raise.
1t is a poor individual that will not
grow wool enough to pay fer its keep
ing, leaving the mutton as profit and
with good. big, heavy-shearing sheer
it is possible to realize a profit OF
the wool, making it in this way the
two sources of profit.
While the expense OF maintaining
a flock of sheep is hardly noticeable
the addition to the income from few
lambs and the animal deeces are very
welcome.
The sheep raiser who puts his de
pendence in the best breeds and goe.
ahead to produce as valuable mutton
carcass and as good a fleece of WOO
as is possible is pretty sure to com,
out all right.

In line with the fad for black and
white a wide girdle is made of ribbon
showing alternate stripes of white
satin and black velvet. 1t is fastened
at the front under shallow loop Of
the ribbon, ornamented by row of COW
cred velvet buttons Such a belt looks
well with black and white striped
skirts or all white. Or it may be

it serves to tone down the brilliant

A short neck ruff is made OF black
satin ribbon having a narrow white
border striped with black. 1t is sewed
to band of narrower black satin rib
bon in full triple box plaits. The edges
of the plaits are caught together to

This team was six years old and per-
fectly gentle on the old farm.
When you have a horse that you
can recommend as being family
broke these days he must have the
admirable qualities of experience
along with those other qualities called
horse sense"
A man once told the writer an an
ecdote about a gentleman who Dor
rowed a gentle horse to ride in a
street parade with blazing barn fires
as a sequel. This horse and rider en-
joyed all the features Of the festive
occasion and the horse was so immune
to terror of city sights that, according
to the narrator, he actually walked
right through the dying embers Of a
fire, but turning corner suddenly he
encountered a piece of paper waited
| along by the breeze and when his
rider recovered consciousness he was
| in the ward of a hospital mass OF
bruises.
Later on, when fully recovered, he
upbraided the owner for giving him
such an animal and the latter replied
in a surprised manner: ''Why, George
1 clean forgot TO say anything about
old Bob being afraid Of piece d
paper"
1 would like to say this: When yoI
buy a horse that is sold as "city anC
family broke" don't pay for him unit
you are certain he is what he is rec
commended to be. Give this horse ;
fair trial; remember that your wifi
and children will probably use hin
and that he must be thoroughly broker
to make him perfectly safe for genera
