there are conditions of climate in some

crops grow late in the fall, and still
others are sown in the fall to mature

TREATMENT OF GRAY HAIR

Don't dye gray hair. It is never

The lines that care and experience
and thought have written into every

hair has a hardening effect on some
faces, and to others it gives an almost
cruel look.

often. Use only the best and purest
liquid soap, as free from alkali as rcS-
sible, and treat IT as the laurdress

many rinsings to get rid Of every 9ar-
ticle of soap, the last ore being quite
cool and deep blue with indigo Let
the hair rest in this for few min
utes, moving 1t about in the bath so
as TO absorb as much of the bluing as
possible, and then dry it thoroughly
with warm towels and vigorous rub
bing. The bluing serves to soften the
dulled, lifeless look which always re-
suits from washing gray hair and
gives uniformity of shading. Streaked
locks in gray hair are its worst fea-
ture, and especially is this true of
blond gray hair.
Rub the scalp then with white vase

the silvery cleaning that is so beauti.

With reasonable protection the wood
cock will thrive even in a thickly set
tied country and as It does no harm
to agriculture there is no reason why
1t should not remain indefinitely avail
able for sport 1t has, however, been
seriously threatened by two factors
winter storms and summer shooting,
The birds winter as far north as they
can find unfrozen ground. In conse-
quence a severe cold wave is likely to
reduce them to starvation and drive
them into places where they can be
slaughtered numerically. In 1892, for
instance, gale that swept the coast
OF South Carolina drove them in thou
sands into the streets of one village,
where fully two thousand were killed
in one day. The shooting of mated
birds in spring and the massacre of
young ones in summer have contrib
uted to bring the wOodcock to the
verge of determination.
The Eskimo curlew affords an excel

birds have been seen. The close-packed
