WINTER SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Comfortable Shed Facing South Af- lords Ample Protection for Ami
 mals During Winter Season.

A roomy shed facing the south, with a hard, dry earth floor, makes the best shelter for sheep. Feed in racks and troughs; what straw is not eaten should be used for bedding The manure should not accumulate as it will produce footrot and other ail- ments. A small quantity of flaxseed- meal may be added to the grain ra- tion. Second-crop clover, bright corn fodder, wheat and oat straw may be fed to advantage.
 Ensilage is growing in favor as a sheep food. The Wool Markets and Sheep Reporter says: As sheep be- come extremely fond of ensilage, it is necessary to feed small quantities of it at the start, that they do not over eat. Within a few weeks, however, they may safely be given all they will eat at each meal. Enslage is found to successfully take the place of roots, though care should be taken that it is properly prepared It is even better in winter time than green corn is in summer, because the animals will eat stalks and leaves up clean, and the customary waste in stalks is saved"
 A practical sheep farmer says: Sour ensilage made from immature corn is not safe food, as it is liable to cause indigestion and stomach trou- bles. Sweet ensilage, fed in small quantities, in connection with oat and wheat straw, and mixed hay, makes an excellent feed. The flock master must use judgment in feeding his flocks"

COLOR THAT HAS REAL CHARM
Purple Always One of the Best, But It Must Be Employed With
 Discretion.

There are beautiful things in purple for house furnishing, and the woman who wishes to have her boudoir or bedroom redecorated can do not bet ter than to have the walls covered with gray, with gray net at the win dows and purple silk or a cretonne showing purple on a gray or white ground. In the hand-printed cretonnes and linens there are some lovely pur- pie designs of peacocks and parrots and flowers.
 Wicker furniture. enameled gray and fitted with purple cushions, or gray enameled wood with purple cushions, helps to carry out the color scheme, and for the floor there are lovely rugs in two tones of gray, and some in gray and purple or two tones of lavender
 Be careful in choosing purple for the room to be sure that you like it. Peo- pie usually either do or do not like these pansy shades. They seldom feel neutral on the subject.

GARMENT THAT IS SERViCEABlE
 FOR ALL OCCASIONS.
Shocking Should Be Employed if One Is at All Fitted for the Work- Figured Fabrics the Best
 to Employ.

Shocking is all the rage this season, and this is beautiful example of a simple shocked dressing sacque. A ribbon sash of the soft informal va riety will make this sacque presenta- ble at the breakfast table and around the house.
 You say that you cannot do smock- ing. Well, you need not. Just shirr the places to be smocked and the eff feet will be the same. Of course, shocking is prettier, and it is very chic, and nothing is easier to do. Shocking has always been fashionable upon infants and chidren's clothes, and now it is used wherever consist ent
 The best materials for this sacque are Japanese silks, American wash silks, Chinese and Japanese cotton crapes, crepe de chine (for nicer wear) and any dainty lingerie material, such as pink or blue dotted sheer cotton fabrics and other delicate wash goods.
 The silks and cotton crapes are easily cleaned and washed. The crepe de chine is usually ironed while damp, and looks as good as new. Unless you are wealthy 1t does not pay to make dressing sacques of those lovely fab- rics that cost more to keep clean than to buy. Cotton crapes are merely washed and shaken out to dry without ironing. Lingeries may be ironed by anyh0dy pond pad6iou cbpu1d ba placed under the ironing cloth. Pink and blue thin cotton goods should be dried in the shade and not ironed with

GOOD OLD-FASHIONEO DIsE
Colorado Authority Tells of prepara tion Long in Use Among the
 "Pennsyivania Cutch."

Since the season for farm butcher ing is at hand I am reminded of an old-fashioned recipe for "Pon Hause' which has long been used among the Pennsylvania Dutch" It is as fol lows:
 All meat not used for sausage. hams, shoulders and side meat should De reserved to be used for pudding meat. This includes the head. with tongue, heart, liver, and all clean sklns after the lard has been stripped from them. To all this add water and cook slowly until very well done. so bones will easily separate from the meat, Chop the largest pieces of meat, add water and thicken with cornmeal and buckwheat flour, about half as much buckwheat as cornmeal Cook slowly, being careful that the mixture does not stick. When about done add salt, pepper and sage to taste, pour into dripping pans; when cold slice it as cold meat or fry if like mush.-Miriam M.

POTATOES IN NEW FASHION
Special Way of Serving Them Has Caught the Fancy of the Peo-
 pie of San Francisco.

At one of the most popular restau. rants in San Francisco, delicious pota. toes are cooked in the manner de. scribed below. Though prepared there in chafirg dish, they may be cooked equally we'll at home in an ordinary skillet. Bake as many DO tatoes as are required for a meal. and as soon as they are mealy scoop out the inside. Do not mash, but put in pan in which is melted butter, at least tablespoonful for each potato and as much more as your conscience will allow. Stir the potatoes until thoroughly mixed with the butter, and add enough paprika to make the mix ture pink, or the color of rutabagas and also add tablespoonful of very fine chopped chives and one ot minced parsley. If chives are not tc be had, use onions. These are espe cially good with beeksteak or chops Good housekeeping.

 The box is next three-parts filled with sand, and the remaining portion filled with cotton wool. It is then covered in at the top with velvet, the material being tucked down just in- side the top of the box and tackled to the silk covering the edges, which are afterwards finished off with a silk cord that is arranged in two little loops at each corner
 Near the top, in front, small brass hook (similar to those used for hang ing cups on a dresser) is screwed, on which watch may be suspended. On the remaining three sides, loops of broad elastic are fastened on with small brass-headed nails, into which may be slipped scissors, paper knife, sealing wax or any of those little odds and ends that tend to litter up the writing table. AS will be seen in the sketch. the top of the box does service as pincushion.

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF BOAR
Animal Should Not Be Allowed to Run With Sows--Sure Way of Reduc-
 ing Number in Litter.
(By II. NJ. COTTRELL1

The boar should serve a SOW but once, and two sows day should be the limit for a mature boar, and then he should have days rest after every second or third day. He should be used before being fed. Handled in this way, a mature boar is sufficient for 50 sows. Overservice results in pigs that are dead, weak or puny at birth. Prob ably the greatest cause of pigs born dead or born so weak that they soon die, is allowing the boar to run with the sows. It is a sure way of reduc- ing the number raised in a litter and of reducing the profits.
 A boar should not be used for much service until he is at least twelve

DRESSING FOR MIDDLE AGE
Small Things That Count for Much, and Should Be Kept Always
 In the Memory.

Once a woman has passed her first youth she knows that clothes now must be utilized to bring out her good points and to hide her defects. The days have gone when she can wear d certain color just because she is fond of it. Now she must regard it's be- comingness. The fact that peacock blue was becoming to her at twenty five does not necessarily mean that it is equally becoming ten years later. If her skin is becoming sallow and a bit wrinkled, if her hair is beginning to show a few streaks of gray, then she must select the colors of her gowns to hide these telltale marks of middle age.
 Color. perhaps, has more to do with making or marring the appearance than any other one thing. Few wom- en of middle age can wear brown sue cessfully. When the hair is turning white or gray it is particularly unbe- coming, as the gray and brown do not harmonize in the least Brown seems to bring out all the unbecoming yell low qualities in gray hair. Dark blue, on the other hand, lends it bluish white tinge that is soft and particu- larly lovely. If your face is sallow, never wear green. If, however your hair is turning gray but your skin is white and clear with soft pink flush in the cheeks, take to green kindly, as it will be most becoming, and white is always good.

EFFECTIVE FENCE FOR HOGS
Solid Corner Secured by Filling in Around Post With Concrete
 Animals Cannot Get Out.
(By ROY NJ pRICE)

To build good hog fence first get solid corner. l dig holes for the corner posts three and a half feet deep and eighteen inches across. I fill up around the post with concrete, five parts sand to one part cement, to three inches above ground so that wa ter will drain off. A good height for the fence is the 30-inch with mesh at the bottom that makes them pig-tight. If pig is kept in while he is grow ing he will not give any trouble when grown, provided there is enough to eat

months old. A fully matured boar produces the most vigorous pigs, other things being equal and if prop erly fed and handled, may be profit ably kept for several years. His tushes should be cut or knocked off as often as they show considerable size.
 Mark the SOW when bred and record the date so that she can be separated from the other sows and become ac- customed to her farrowing quarters two weeks before the pigs are due.
