SIMPLE DRESS FOR A CHILD
Pretty Design That Few Mothers
Would Have Much Difficulty in
Copying to Perfection.

In the window OF a store where
children's dresses are sold is dress
which draws remarks, from every OBJ
server. The dress is so effective and
so simple that every woman standing
before the window feels sure she can
make one just like it for her daughter
and for half the price quoted on the
tag.
And every woman filled with such
confidence has the right idea. for the
dress is made in simple jumper effect,
being of pink linen, and the underbody
or guimpe is of white batiste. At either
side front of the dress is daisy out
lined with coronation braid. and from
the daisy a stem and several tiny
leaves grow for a distance Of four
inches from the top and bottom of the
flower. The coronation braid Is white
and the leaves and stems are outlined
in white mercerized cotton. Turned
back cuffs and lay-down collar on the
guimpe are edged with finely plated
batiste, and both sides of the front
box plait are edged with narrower
plating. A wide black velvet belt
slipped through embroidered slots
adds distinction to the little frock
Duplicate this model in all white, in
combination of blue and white, vel
low and white or brown and white
and you will cause rejoicing in the
heart OF, the little girl who is to veal

DADDY'S CROUCH FADED AWAY

Chance to Recover His
Good Humor.

Papa had a crouch. and an atmos-
phere Of deep gloom settled over the
family dinner table. Even little Bobby
felt that something was wrong, but he
had to talk or burst, and he preferred
to talk.
Daddy" he asked. why did they
throw the tea overheard in Boston
harbor?"
Daddy twirled the spoon in his cup
while he thought up this mean thing
to say; "If it was anything like this
stun they certainly had mighty good
excuse for throwing it overheard"
Having gotten this remark off his
chest, the old man felt so good that
he actually smiled, and before he knew

of young ducks were lost because the
owners failed to furnish grit.
The food must be fresh and clean.
Drinking water is given at each meal
and also between meals, in shallow
vessels, which must be kept clean.
Ducks drink often and soil the water
in short time.
Pekin ducks do not require swim
ming water, though they enjoy it, and
If allowed to roam at will, both young
and old are sure to find a pond or
stream If there is one within easy
distance.
We never allow the young ones to
wander OF because, early in our ex-
perience, we learned that too much
padding in cold water causes cramps,
from which they never recover. Even
a cold rain often proves fatal.
After the first week we begin to
feed raw mixtures. These are COM
and middlings or second -four, mois-
tened with water. Or oatmeal bran
and cooked vegetables, little salt be-
ing added several times a week.
Sometimes cornmeal, cooked pota-
toes and chopped greens" and NO on,
are fed. Occasionally we feed green
corn, cut from the cob.
At the end Of the fifth week those
intended for market are put upon a
more fattening diet.
Instead of moistening the mash with
water, as heretofore, skim milk is used
and no green's are added. Milk should
not be used as drink for ducks, but
when added to ground grains 1t is far
superior to beef scraps or any kind
of animal food for producing rapid
| growth in ducks.
Twice a week some powdered char
coal is added to the mixture Besides
sand, we give the ducks coal cinders
with the ashes sifted out. A duck pre-
fers cinders to any other kind of grit
At ten to fourteen weeks old the
ducks are sent to market There ID
nothing gained in keeping them longer
because about this time the large
feathers begin to appear and the gain
in weight will be less rapid.

HOW TO KNOW SEX OF GEESE
When Fowls Are Six Months Old
Gander May Be Told by obserVa-
tion-Hls Call Is ShrIlI.

1t is not an easy thing to tell the
sex of geese.
When they are six or seven months
old one usually can tell the goose from
the gander by observation.
The male in most cases grows larger
than the female.
The female has a deeper body, slim
mer neck and smaller head.
The call Of the gander is long, loud
and shrill. while that of the goose is
merely an answer to 1t.
1t is a good plan to divide the flock
part on one side Of the fence and part
on the other when trying to distin-
guish the sex, when you can distin-
guish most Of the ganders by their
calls.
Never look for a curled tail feather
or other outside marks, for there are
none.
