Both sexes are a steel blue body

failed to provide me with food and
clothes and shelter.
"I think there never could have
been anywhere else as much mean
food as was served on our table in
our first two years of marriage. The
meat was invariably tough and
stringy. no matter what variety 1t
was. 1t was sure to be burnt or raw.
The coffee was worse than dishwater
to drink, the vegetables pulpy, unsea-

DAY after day I would see my hus-
band push away his plate after the
first mouthful, and at his look of dis
gust I would burst into tears and be-
gin whimpering out complaints against
my cook. For the Lords sake, why
don't YOU fire her and set somebody

now, our home was like nightmare

that was fit to eat, and where in
competent servants came and went
in endless procession, and where the
lazy, ShiftleSs mistress lounged
around in a kimono, too trifling to
manage her own affairs, or do any
thing but weep.
AT last my competent, order-lov-
ing husband could stand it no longer,
and in words that scared into my very
soul he told me that l was a failure,
and that l had blasted his dreams of
lifetime. He had always longed for
a home, and I had shown that | could

left him, that was his ambition, and
he would not let me blight that by
my wastefulness. Therefore we could
go to q hotel to live where he could
at least, keep some check on our eX-
penSes, and have decent meals served
at the right time.
$50 we gave up the little home of
his dreams and went to live the
nomad life of married couples who
camp about in public hostelries.
Somewhere in that unnatural country
husbands and wives lose each other,

Here is blouse that is simplicity itself.
It can be made without an opening, and
drawn on over the head, closed by means
of ribbon inserted in casing, or
with an opening it is exceedingly
smart and it can be made to give
two quite different effects, since it is
one thing with the cape and another
without it. There are just two pieces of
the blouse and the long sleeves are sewed
to the armholes. Without the cape, it is
plain simple little garment. With the
cape, it can be made quite elaborate in
effect since lace or chiffon or any preferred
material can be used. In the picture,
embroidered crepe is combined with plain
but cape of chiffon with hem-stitched
edges over a plain silk blouse or of any
material that is soft enough to take
becoming folds would be pretty. The neck
of the blouse is round but the cape is
finished with high frill at the back that
makes a quite new feature. The sleeves
that are drawn up at the wrists are new
and becoming also.
For the 10 year size, the blouse will

Scarcity of Fertile Eggs at
Winter Season One Diff
Guilty to OUercome
Care Required to Raise
Young in Cold Months to
Be Ready For Market
BY Michael X. Boyer.
A. Poultry Editor of Farm Journal.

Copyright, 1914
Broiler raising can be made highly
profitable, but, like all other special
izing lines, It's path Is strewn with
manifold difficulties. But so cents a
pound Is worth striving for, and that
figure is frequently commanded now
that the SQUAD broiler is taking the
place OF some game birds, made scarce
by rigid game laws.
The difficulty of raising broilerS dur
ing the rigid winter months makes
them n rare treat TO the eplcurean who
wants things out OF the ordinary.
Hence the desirability of catering TO q
market hard to supply. The follow
ing article should be read by every
pouItryman seeking new fields for his
output.
1t costs twice as much to get out
very early broilers as it does late
ones, for the reason that the fertil-
ity of the eggs is of a much lower
percentage in December and January
than it is for the following four
months. Besides eggs at that season
of the year are worth in market pro-
badly more than they would yield IL
held for Matching broilers.
To have broiler ready for market
in January it should have been hatch
ed the previous October; February
broilers must come out in November
and March broilers in December.
The April broiers brings a better
price than does the February or
March bird. There are very few broil-
ers In market before February. The
market weight of the April broilers is
one and a half pounds. As high as
so cents per pound has been realized
for broilers in April.
At that price there is a very good
profit. Some years ago a pound-and
a-half broilers could be produced at
Is cents, but with the increased cost of
feed it is doubtful IL it can be done
now for less than 25 cents.
The main secrets of success are
warmth and proper feeding. The
heat should be of a temperature to
make the room and brooder comfort
able, but not hot, as beginners are so
apt to think. Regulation of tempera-
ture has really more to do with sue
cess than has feeding. In other words.
in the very early part of the life of
the broiler. heat is of two thirds value
and feed one-third.
Temperature of Brooder.
During drS cold weather, if the
brooder temperature is right, there
will be less loss of chicks than when
the weather is somewhat mild. This
fact has been so we'll established that
experienced broiler raisers regulate
their houses according to the condi-
ton of the weather.
Overcrowding in the broilers is the
cause of considerable. loss. 1t is my
firm belief that the only successful
plan is to have not more than so
chicks in q brooder at one time.
While [ know that chicks intended for
stock birds do very we'll, up to a GER
tain age, in larger fioclls, for broiler
raising the families must be small or
the crowding will not only cause the
loss of birds. but will help to stunt
many of the brooders.
There must be plenty Of fresh air,

MY marriage was a failure" said
the third woman, because ] did not
understand the business of being a
wife. 1 was utterly ignorant and in
apable of fulfilling my part of the
partnership, and so l bankrupted the
firm.

other women, and because of 1t ], and
thousands like me, are ground to
powder in the divorce mill.

tious young fellow, who alone and
unaided had already climbed a good
way up tbe ladder of success, and

knew his business down to the

fed. In the whole business that he
had created and run so ably there
was not a lost motion, the waste of

And being this kind of a man, my
husband married me--a girl who had
never done a lick of work in her life,

who had never handled a dollar in her

Effect of Prizes on
Small Breeders

Nothing is more conducive to
better breeding of poultry stock
than the offer of prizes at the
poultry shows. 1t makes the small
breeder aspire to higher stand
ard of production, not for the
worth of the prize, but for the re-
cognition of men who know qua
lity.
In effect, however, it makes the
breeders product more profitable
to him, for his higher grade stock
and eggs command better prices
than formerly. Altogether the
Ze-winning mania, if it may be
so called. is a commendable one
and has had much TO do in rails
ing the standard of American poul-
try.

this subject, on -- appearing
