SHELTER TURKEY IN WINTER
They Are Hardest of Poultry, but APP
preciate Some Extra Care Dur
ing Severe Weather.

Turkeys are considered as among
the hardest of poultry after they are
mature, but they appreciate some ex-
ira care in winter. This does not
mean that they require pampering. In
spite of the fact that when left to
themselves they prefer to sleep in the
bare branches of trees or on the ridge
pole of building, they are better off
for having some shelter.
Did you ever notice how blue the
turkeys heads look as they come down
from roof or treetop of a cold mid
winter morning? Somehow their feath-
ers-although they have a heavy coat
do not seem to turn rain as we'll as
the feathers of other poultry.
Provide a good dry shed, enclosed
only with poultry netting on the south
side, for the turkeys intended for the
next seasons breeding stock. Good
strong roosts, not too near the roof,
should be provided. If the roosts are
too close to the roof, the turkeys bat
ter their wings when flying up, and
this will cause them to seek other
roosting places.

ATTENTION TO CARE OF MILK
Average Farmer Can Apply Principles
of Sanitation as Well as
Small Dairyman.

With the advent of the bacterial
count that is run on milk in larger
cities of the country, and the careful
inspection of diaries by state officials
more attention is being paid to the
care Of milk in all phases of its pro-
duction.
Although the bacterial count is not
practical for the product of the aver
age farmer the principles of SANTA
ton can be applied by him, almost as
easily as by the small dairyman. Wash
ing the udder and teats of the COW
and drying them each time with a
clean cloth before milking is one of
the simplest, and yet most important
steps.
Reliable dairymen have said it is
impossible for clean milk to be pro-
duced if the mixer works with wet
hands. Almost invariably B. coli "a
cause Of intestinal troubles) will be
found in the milk that is gotten I'M
der such circumstances.

A grain-and-mill-feed ration given

Assortment Is the Greatest That
Has Been Offered Purchasers
for Many Seasons.
TOP COAT NOW A NECESSITY
Unless a Woman Is Willing to Be Con-
tent With a Coat Blouse and Sep
arate Skirt She Must Include
That Article OF Apparel in
Wardrobe This Winter.

New York.--The woman who goes
hunting winter clothes cannot fail to
be surprised, even though she thinks
herself prepared for it, at the amazing
assortment of indoor gowns offered.
II is not possible to carry through
the cold weather with any Of the new
clothes unless one adds a top coat to
the wardrobe, and smartly-turned-out
one at that. SO, unless one is willing
and able to buy a new coat-for it is
improbable that an old one will do
then it is safer and wiser to stick to
the American uniform-a coat suit
with separate blouse.
What appeals to the economy and
satisfies the pride of being well dressed
In thin one-piece frock of satin or
cloth is the fact that it serves for
every occasion when one must enter
into some form of gayety during the
day. One would be eXaggerating the
truth to say that the coat and skirt,
no matter how handsome, are entirely
unsuitable this season for indoor af-
fairs, but one must be reasonably eau
tious about using them for any hour
but those spent in routine work.
Reason for Cloth Suits.
1t may be that, with this end in
view, the tailors are turning out more
cloth than velvet suits, using up that
expensive material for top coats and
evening frocks with trains.
Velour is evidently the first choice
of those who cater to the women who
are willing to put a goodly sum of
money into the coat and skirt that,
after all, dresses them most of the
time for seven months of their year.
The first utterance the average wom-
an makes when this material is adj

chin and falls to the ankles. 1t usual
ly closes all the way down the front,
and the models that don't are not found
convenient.
Not only do they demand a skirt
beneath that harmonizes in color if not
in fabric, but their hens fly out with
the wind in an exasperating way that
leaves ones body exposed to the ele-
ments from feet to waist. Nothing
satisfying about that, is there?
The designers have lavished orig
inality upon this garment, and possibly
that is why women have been per-
suaded into often buying them instead
of the coat suit. Put the mind upon
this top coat. Cheruit invented it and
our dressmakers are swiftly engaged
in copying it. 1t is of tomato red
velour. There is long vest of kolinski
in the natural yellow tone. The folds
of the velour fall at the back like a
cape worn by the men in the fifteenth
century. The fullness over the Shout
der falls over the arms to the elbow
and there is placed the armhole into
which is put tight sleeve that ex-
tends well over the wrist. At each
side Of the cape is slit for the hands
to reach pocket In the fur vest, and
by keeping the hands in these pockets
most of the time the cape is turned
into snug coat.

SMALL FOWLS MOST POPULAR
Better or More Economical Producer
Than Large Varieties-Dryden
FaVors Plymouth Rock.

"The small, active fowl, other
things being equal, is a better or
more economical producer than the
large fowl, and when the farmer is
seeking only after egg production, he
should choose q small breed,s says
Professor Dryden, the man who is re-
sponsible for the origin of the Oregon
Agricultural college hens. 1t seems
to be law Of nature in the animal
kingdom, that heavy producers are
small in size, active and nervous. 1t
is another question whether the best
egg producer is on the whole the most
profitable fowl. The poultryman can
not eliminate the cockerels. These
must be marketed and the larger
breeds, of course, sell for more than
the small breeds. Again, the produc-
ton of the laying hen does not i'm
prove with age or experience. The
flock must be sold off at least every
two years. The Plymouth Rock, or
breeds of that size, will sell for
about twice as much as the Leghorn.
Even within the breed or variety, Pro-
fessor Dryden says, that the heavier
producers, on the average, are those
Of light weight. Sometimes some Of
the heavy hens are heavy producers,
but this is not true of the average.
At the Oregon station a pen of At
Plymouth Rock hens averaged 1909
eggs. Separating them according to
weight into three groups, we got this
result: Those having an average
weight Of seven pounds produced in
the first year AL eggs; medium
weight, or averaging six pounds,
1884 eggs, and light weight, avesag-
Ing five pounds, 1887 eggs. The IL
heaviest layers, those laying over 200
eggs, averaged in weight 81 pounds.
81 believe it to be undeniable," says
the professor, "that if we breed for
large size or if we increase the size
of the fowls of any breed, we will de-
