A garden hat is shown made of plain
chambray for the brim, with a pulled
crown made of figured cretonne. One
hardly needs pattern for hat so
simple as this, but the standard pat
tern companies furnish such patterns.
The brim Is a circle of butchers linen
covered with the plain chambray on
both sides. It is stiffened with rows
of machine stitching. The crown in
this hat is made of a small circular
piece of the linen covered with Gre
tonne, with a puff of the cretonne
gathered into it. The lower edge Of
the puff is turned up and gathered
and sewed to the brim There is
band of silk braid about the crown,
finished with little bow having dou-
Bile loops. Gayly Powered small fig
ured cretonnes are used with plain
goods of the same cblor as that pre-
vailing in the cretonne.
The black-and-white checked hat is
part hat and part bonnet in design.
stiffened cape at the back may
be either turned up or down, and fast
ems by means of loop to button on
the visor at the front Bright red,
green. or black braid is used for the
binding and the crown is a circle plait-
ed into the band at its base. Machine
stitching and an interlining of butch
er's linen provide the requisite stiff
ness for the brim and cape.

Just then the boat bumped into a
rock on the opposite side of the pond
and the Gray Hen hoped out.
This is just like trip across the
world she said, stretching her neck
and looking around. She walked into
the woods and picked the berries she
could reach and was quite delighted
with herself as traveller, when all at
once she saw an animal sitting on a
rock. 1t held something in its paws
which it would bite and then turn its
head quickly from side to side, and

On farms q combination poultry
house that accommodates laying hens
in one department and setting hens in
another works very nicely.
The plan shown in the illustrations
represent house 20 feet by IA feet
In size, divided into two rooms. The
larger room Is intended for general
poultry comfort during the winter sea-
son. The smaller department may be
used for nesting room during the
winter and as Matching department
during the early spring, and later as
brooder house as the season adj
vancas. The combination works well
in different ways according to the
amount Of poultry and whether pure
bred fowls are kept for profit or less
valuable birds are kept for home use
Sometimes one department is want
ed for few especially well-bred trap
nested hens to keep their eggs sepa-
rate for Matching. Generally, how
ever, the culling of the flock is done
during the fall from previous records,
so that all the mature hens wintered
over are good enough to furnish eggs
for Matching
The construction of this poultry
house has been very carefully planned
and worked out to design a practical
building that may be used year after
year. Farm poultry houses too often
are carelessly planned and poorly con-
structed. Poorly constructed houses
become so infested with vermin of diff
ferent kinds that it often seems bet
ter to tear them down and to build
new rather than to try to repair them,

against it. He declared he could not
vote for IL as he believed IL was TOO
much money and thought that S2,500
a year would be sufficient and thereby
save the tax payers $500. He said
plenty Of competent men could be
secured for that amount
