shove of the foot: rake the soil, and
rake in a thick sowing of oats or rye.
Keep the fowls off the patches until the
grain has time to terminate and cover
the ground with thick blanket of

give the fowls. young or old, the green
food they most relish. and they will

Keeping Hair Fluffy.

With the aid of waivers and other
similar simple contrivances some girls
are able to impart to their hair a
charmingly fluffy appearance until
they go out in the damp or the wind;
then the fiuffiness disappears as though
by magic, and the hair hangs in dank
wisps over their brows.
Here is a remedy. Before putting in
the wavers damp the strands of hair
to be waved with a little slightly di-
luted eau de cologne. This will serve
TO keep the wave in for quite a long
time. You must dilute the eau de CO.
logne with water. though: otherwise
the hair will frizz too stifiy. Just to
what extent you will require TO dilute
1t you will find by experience. A tea
spoonful of each, however, will usually
meet the case.
