If the pretty suit for spring, which
Is pictured above, had nothing else
to recommend it but the charm of sim
plicity. it would still possess the best
of all attributes of the street dress.
But it has also the distinction which
belongs to novelty in design and is
compellingly good to look at.
This is one of number of new mod
els in which taffeta is combined with
a cloth in making up suits. In this
particular case it is made up with
serge. The skirt is wide and plain,
with most of the fullness disposed at
the sides. The facing, Of serge, is
very wide and is set on to the taffeta
with double row of machine stitch
ing. Skirts made in the same way,
of cloth, are faced up with leather in
the same color as the cloth, set on
with small piping of leather, and
we're among the earliest imports of
the season
The smart coat of taffeta is designed
with yoke of serge and finished at
the bottom with a wide banding Of
it. This is rather an exception to the
rule of landings on street suits, but
is admirable because it corresponds

WINTER FEED FOR THE HENS
Warm, Soft Washes Sometimes Have
Effect of Making Fowls Lazy
Feed SparingIy In Morning.

Amateurs sometimes are puzzled to
know how much to feed when throw
ing grain in the litter and are prone
to overfeed, making it SO easy for the
hens to fill their crops that they will
not work long. II dry mash is kept
before the hens at all times, the
poultrykeeper may comfort himself
with the thought that his birds need
never go hungry even If they have
difficulty in finding the grain they
need to satisfy themselves
The use of warm, soft mashes some
times has the effect Of making hens
lazy. If heavy feeding of mash is
given in the morning, the hens will
fill up on that and then stand around
for several hours. II the amount of
mask is made so small that their hun
ger il not satisfied, no damage will
result.
A mash at the closa of day is not
but it may be gwen an hour
or two before roosting time and fol-
lowed with feeding of whole corn
The corn will almost always be eaten,
in spite of the mash feed just con-
sumed, and the hens will go to roost
with full crops, the digestion Of the
two kinds Of feed taking long time.

slightly toward the center alley, which
has gutter on each side. The floors
and also the alley can be washed out
with a hose whenever it is necessary.
Very often a litter carrier and track
is installed so that the manure can be
handled in the easiest way.
The nets in the pens are raised
above the floor and are made of plank
spaced about u inch apart. These
planks are generally fastened togeth-
err with by 4 across each end
This keeps the planks of the floor so
that they can be kept dry. Cleats are
often nailed to the walls so that the
nests can be hung up when the house
is being washed out.
The walls are made double, so that
the hogs will be protected from any
draft. This house is built with by g.
inch studding, which is fastened to the
foundation by studding sockets. The
outer side of the studding is covered
with drop siding, and on the inside
dressed and matched ceiling is used
For the inside finishing wall, board
can also be used. Several of the
wall board concerns are making wall
board that is particularly suited to
this kind of work. Some of these
brands are disinfected, so that they
win be very satisfactory from sani
tary standpoint.
The ceiling is made in the same way
except that the outside is covered
with sheathing. with shingles on top
of that.
Two rows Of windows are placed
in the ceiling so that the sunshine
can penetrate into all corners of the
house. These windows are made with
a galvanized iron frame and are gem
orally covered with a heavy screen.
A good ventiIating system is pro-
vided, as it is very important that the
hogs have plenty Of fresh air. This
air must be obtained without causing
draft, as drafts are often fatal to
high-grade hogs.

PLAN FOR HARD SHELL EGGS
Mineral Elements Necessary Are
Available In Much Cheaper Form
Than in Feeding Grains.

The feeding of hens for the produc-
ton of hard-shelled eggs, not easily
brealSable in handling. is possible and
demands attention. Shells vary great
ly in strength. A strong, heavy shell
is not nearly so likely to be broken
by the jars. jolts and rough handling
incident to ordinary shipment as a
weak one.
Chemical analysis shows that the
shell of the egg is largely carbonate
of lime, but that it also contains car
Donate OF magnesia, mineral phosphate
and some organic matter If strong
shells are to be produced, the mineral
elements must not be lacking. Grains
that are ordinarily fed do not con
tain these mineral elements in sufn-
cient proportions, and an additional
and separate supply is necessary. For
tunately. these mineral elements are
available in much cheaper forms than
in grains Lime Is the principal in
gredient OF oyster shells. Iron, mag
nesia and often phosphorus in many
kinds of artificial grit, may be pro.
cured for about the same price, while
these elements in grain would cost at
least double these figures
Bone meal contains phosphorus In
appreciable amounts, besides lime,
magnesia. etc, and while expensive, 1t
is effective in giving the shell an even
ness and fineness Of texture which
adds much to its strength. 1t is. there
fore, often used as an ingredient for
dry mashes for laying flocks, usually
In amount varying from three to Ave
per cent.
Eggs that won't break give the
poultryman greater profits than eggs
that will. Make your hens lay the non
breakable kind.

shine windows take care of this in

Hogs have often been known to for
age through the winter in good shape,
but they cannot do this and develop in
to high-grade norkers such as are want
ed in the market. They will use up all
the energy that they receive from
their feed in developing heat to pro-
tect them from the cold. Under such
conditions it is impossible for them
to develop into fine heavy hogs that
will command a good price.

No man or woman who eats meat

so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from

all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-

ness, sleeplessness. bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache In

sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation Of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass Of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
tons to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
