CURTAINS THAT COST LITTLE
inexpensive Material for Windows
May Be Made Attractive IT a Lit
tie Care Is Exercised.

There are many inexpensive mate
rails which have been utilized for
window curtains with surprising sue
cess. One woman hung curtains OF
cheesecloth, trimmed with narrow cot
ton fringe Another is using cream
colored seersucker, also finished with
this narrow cotton fringe. The ad-
vantages of the latter material from
the laundress' point of view are many,
since the curtains will never need to
be ironed.
Unbleached muslin has many posi-
bilities. One made-over farmhouse
has in the room on the ground floor
sash curtains of this muslin, on which
squares of Persian figured calico or
print have been stitched at intervals,
Just suiting the old-fashiOned small
PANIED windows. For a blue dining
room or one with quaint Dutch doors
and windows, unbleached muslin
would be charming with the mixed red
and blue cotton fringe.

PROUD BEAUTY IN DISTRESS
Incident Reads Something Like Scene
From Modern Novel in Its Dra-
matte Intensity.

She was a proud beauty.
Sir" she cried with flashing eyes,
release my hand!"
He saw her flashing eyes; he knew
she was a proud beauty. He retained
possession of her hand and stared at
1t fixedly.
MIR. Dottles!" she exclaimed, will
you release my hand?"
Her very nose seemed to flash.
There were few beauties prouder
than she.
I'm a moment" he promised.
Now" she screamed. Release my
hand instantly or / shall stop playing.
Even If you are my partner I'm not
going to have you give the impression
that haven't sense enough to play my
nand."
So, with a sigh, he gave her back
her hand, though he knew she would
bungle it, and they were playing for
real money that day, too.

KEEP LITTLE PIGS GROWING
Eastern Breeder Describes Plan OF
Weaving foungsters-First Give
Oats and Milk.

To keep pigs growing properly they
should have as little setback at wean-
ing as possible. This is the way that
an eastern breeder describes his sys-
tenn:
Before my pigs are weaned | teach
them to eat and they are ready and
eager for their meals when they are
weaned / first give them oats and
milk, putting the oats in trough,
pouring the milk over them so they
cannot get too much milk at one time.
IL am short on milk, | put oil meal
and middlings in milk and pour 1t on
the oats. This plan starts the pigs
eating while they are still sucking
their mother and it is the best feed /
have used for this purpose. AS they
get older / feed oats separately and
make slop of oil meal one quart, mid
dlings three gallons, milk and water
90 gallons. Then put 20 pounds of dry
bran in the troughs and pour on the
slop and turn them in. Give them
only enough so they will clean it up
we'll as if they wanted little more.
This keeps their appetite just sharp
enough. A little corn is fed also and
at eight months old these pigs will
make as good as you will ind

BEST TOP LAYER OF SlLAGE
Heavy Green Stalks From Which Ears
Have Been Removed Form Heavy
Cover-Packs Well.

For the top layer of the silo good
practice is to use heavy green stalks
from which the ears have been re-
moved. This forms a heavy layer
that packs well and at the same time
contains a smaller amount of food ma
terials so that the minimum loss is
sustained if it spoils.
Various methods and materials have
been used for covering the top of the
silage to prevent its spelling. None
have given complete satisfaction, but
the one mentioned above has given
as good results as any, especially when
the top layer was thoroughly wet
down and packed firmly by tramping.
The best practice rs to commence
feeding as soon az the silo is filled, in
which case there will be no loss OF
silage through decay.

FEEDING FOR WINTER EGGS
IL Is Never Advisable TO Feed Heavily
During Early Hours of Day
Keep the Hens Scratching.

In feeding poultry, it is never advis-
able TO feed heavily during the early
hours OF the day A hen gorged with
food early in the morning, will have
no incentive to exercise-w1l lay
around the roosting quarters and take
on fat. In feeding for winter eggs
the appetites of the hens should never
be fully satisfied until just before
they go to roost at night.
During the winter months / always
feed the first food OF the day In deep
litter, says a writer in an exchange.
The scratch grain is composed OF equal
parts whole wheat and cracked corn.
A mash food is never fed early In the
morning, for the reason that 1t fully
satisfies the appetites OF the hens and
they will not work diligently in the
litter. The wet mash is fed at noon or
shortly thereafter. The mash is COM
posed Of two parts bran. one part each
of middlings, cornmeal, cut clover,
beefscrap and ground oats, with the
bulls sifted out The hens are given
all they will eat of this mash. Ii any
is left after the hens are through feed
ing. it is removed and given to the
hogs. About an hour before dark the
hens are given all they will eat Of
whole corn and wheat and sent to bed
| with full crops. Grit, charcoal and
| oyster-shell are kept before them al

PRETTY WORK EASILY DONE
Embroidered Silk Stockings Within

Black silk stockings embroidered in

Long, slender leaves. grasses and
sprays of wheat are all among the
decorative possibilities of this style Of
embroidery.
Another advantage in embroidering

SPREADING STRAW ON FIELDS

Where straw is present in such
