put on the outside of the house with
troughs running through. The tops of
the boxes should slant so the rain will
run off. These, of course, will have to
be filled from the outside. With this
plan the feed drops down as fast as
the hens remove it from the troughs.
Feeding troughs and boards can be
kept much cleaner when they can
have the benefit of the fresh air and
sunshine.
When badly soiled. they should be
scrubbed and scalded. Water vessels
should also be treated in the same
manner.
We use carbolic acid as a disinfec-
tant. However, 1t cannot be recon-
mended for general use, because it is
very dangerous.
All through the day, the hen should
scratch for her living, but at night,
she should go to bed with a full crop.

Bill McCahe's Poughkeepsie team
was playing the Kingston team one
day years ago, in the Atlantic league,
and a guy named Fogarty was umpire.
In the ninth inning, with the score
tied, two of McCabe's men played out,
and as Bill had only one man extra,
he had to rush the bleacher seats to
find man to fill in. He drew big
hick, who said he couldn't play. but for
the fun could fill in. There were two
out at the time and the fans were ex-
cited.

drew three balls and the next one
across he picked over the left field

MILK PAsTEURlzED AT HOME
To Avoid Danger Of 6reakaee Set Bot
tie or Mason Jar on inverted Per-
forated Pie Pan.

Milk can be pasteurized at home in
bottles or in mason jars. The bottle
or mason jar is set on an inverted per-
forated pie pan placed in the bottom
of kettle or pail. This holds the milk
container away from direct contact
with the bottom of the kettle and
avoids danger of breakage. A dairy
Thermometer is essential to success.
The vessel is filed with water up to
the neck of the bottle or nearly to the
top of the jar or other milk receptacle
and the water heated to $50 degrees.
The heat is then discontinued. Cover
the kettle with cloth to retain the
heat as much as possible and let it
stand for half an hour,
At ordinary kitchen temperatures
the water will not lose more than five
degrees heat in half an hour. At the
end of this time cool the milk rapidly,
seal the receptacles IL the product Is
to be kept very long and you may feel
reasonably sure of safe food.

SAVING FIRST ALFALFA CROP
Considerable Difficulty Experienced IN
Some Localities on Acccuti. u
Heavy Mains.

During recent years considerable
difficulty has been had in certain To-
calities of the Southwest in saving the
/. first crop of alfalfa Often heavy rains
come about the time the first cutting
should be made or soon after the al
faIfa is cut, thus making trouble for
the haymaker.
One solution to this difficulty prob
lem is to have a silo ready and in
case the weather is not favorable for
curing hay put the first cutting into
the silo Even after heavy rain al
falfa may be ensiled because consider
able moisture is required to pack the
silage so it will not mold.
Experiments were made on alfalfa
silage in California with good results.
Even alfalfa badly contaminated with
weeds was found to be worth saving
in the silo Stock ate such alfalfa
when made into silage when the
weeds would render it almost worth
less when cured as hay.
The alfalfa grower cannot afford to
wait when his crop is ready to cut.
Regardless of the weather, he is often
forced to cut the first crop and take
chances on the weather rather than
run the risk of injurins the second
crop. If, he has silo ready he has
reduced the risk in saving the first or
even the second crop.

BATHING FROCKS AND
SWIMMING SUITS

Bathing suits of this years design
include many new departures from ac-
cepted styles of other years. They
are ampler in length and width of
skirt; many of them have sleeves that
partially cover the upper arm, and
considerable needlework is involved
In their making There are princess
models that look like riding coats, and
there are full skirts with pantalets
that reach some inches below the
knees. Most novel of all is a model
made of silk with very full skirt
sewed together across the bottom,
with two openings to thrust the feet
through. This serves the purpose of
boomers and skirt.
One of the best Of the new designs
is shown in the illustration. 1t is Of
black taffeta trimmed with narrow
white braid The skirt is cut in four
cores, narrow at the top and pointed
ut the bottom. The waist, cut with
kimono sleeves, opens over white
silk vest. Reyers reach to the waist
line. and there is a small faring collar
Mt the back These and the sleeves,
which are slit UP the top of the arm,
are outlined with two rows of the mar
row white braid. Black and white silk

course dinner which shall satisfy the

From the viewpoint of desirable

the value the girls are to derive from
