MAKING MONEY WITH CHICKS
Important Branch of Poultry Business Has Been Made Possible by Use
 of Incubators.

The general use of incubators has made it possible and profitable for many to engage in the day-old chick trade, which has become an important branch of the poultry business. This work may be done in the home in ad- dition to the ordinary routine of du- ties, and Is one way a nice income may be earned.
 With proper precautions, matching eggs may be safely sent journeys of week or ten days duration, but not so with baby chicks. At the close of an incubator hatch some of the chicks are one or two days old, and should not be sent more than a two days journey. If properly packed, it is no cruelty to ship such a distance, for just before matching the chick absorbs the yolk, which furnishes enough sus- tenance for three or four days, and ad- ditional food given during these first days of the chicks life is only injury.
 On account of the limited distance chicks may be shipped, there is scarce ly a neighborhood or town where one or more persons may not, profitably engage in the matching of chicks Many people lack the time and equip ment for the work, and prefer to fur nish the eggs to be matched for a stated sum or buy the chicks out right.
 The purchaser must expect to pay a fair price for chicks from reliable strains of either bred-to-lay stock or from fancy exhibition breeders. Good sturdy chicks may be had for $15 per 100 and upward early in the season. Late-hatched chicks sell lower for they are not worth so much for winter layers, but may be used for founda- tion flock if necessary. Conscien- tious breeders take pleasure in send ing out chicks of real value, thus add ing to the sum total of the poultry industry.

made of matched lumber and secured by crosspieces as shown. In order to hold it up a hinged prop may be placed in the middle. This prop is long enough to drop down on the out side and lie parallel with the wall without actually touching the ground. The second or inner top may be made to slide in a groove. It consists of a framework covered at one end with wire cloth and at the other with bur- lap or cheese cloth. The advantages of having double top are that in warm weather the fowls can be kept comfortable by abundant ventilation and in cold, wet or otherwise unpleas ant weather they may be completely protected by the solid top. A coop of this kind can be used to advantage in rearing chicks at range, but it is not satisfactory for full grown fowls.

CAUTIOUS IN. FEEDING BONE
May Have Appearance of Being Fresh When Inner Portions Are Tn State
 of Decomposition.

In feeding bone one should be espe- cially careful. Bone may have all the appearances of being fresh when the inner portions and marrow are in an advanced state of decomposition.
 The commercial article of beef scrap is never above suspicion. When made from fresh meat, cooked and stored properly, beef scrap will keep pure and sweet indefinitely. When spoiled meat is used, the cooking merely ar rests decomposition, and such scrap, when fed to poultry, may cause trou- ble. Before feeding beef scrap or beef meal always test each bag. This is done by taking small quantity, say half pint, adding water and boil ing. If, in boiling, it gives of a whole some odor, the scrap is a wholesome poultry food. Commercial beef scrap that smells like fertilizer is fertilizer, and should never be used for poultry food.
 Beef scrap that varies in color and is full of hard Jumps should never be fed without testing.

pleasing coat of taffeta, as plain as the mode allows, is pictured above. It's lines flare from the shoulders and lnderarms down with generous full ness at the back and sides and a lit tie. less at the front. It's flaring is managed in the cutting, and the fabric must be wide to accomplish it. There are plain, roomy sleeves finished with cuffs with velvet ribbon bordering them. A wider band of velvet borders the smart collar, and three widths of ribbon adorn the bottom of the coat, with the widest band placed just above the hem. There are pockets at each side of modest proportions as compared to those which some design CTS feature both on coats and dresses.
 A coat of this kind made in one of the changeable taffetas in dark colors (blue and black, purple and black, blue and green, are examples) and finished with black velvet ribbon, or made in solid dark color, will owe it's wearer nothing at the end of the summer and fall seasons. It is as practical as it is pretty, and is usually made in black.
 There are many much ruffled and Yuched and plaited coats in taffeta,

They are beautifully made and placed in way to call attention to the faith fitness with which they copy nature. A bow of narrow velvet ribbon is mounted under the brim at the back.
 At the left leghorn with crown GOV. cred with lingerie lace is lifted at the back by bandeau. Narrow val lace is plaited and sewed row after row over the crown, which may be of wire covered with chiffon. There is a small bow with long ends mounted at the front, made of faille ribbon. A wide ribbon is sewed to the under side of the brim edge across the back and gathered into the bandeau, where 1t is finished with short loop over the hair. Above, on the upper brim, a place is found for cluster of bios. sons. This hat suggests a good way to remodel a leghorn
 A sports hat which will keep off the sun is pictured in the center of the group. It is a type which is made in many materials. The decoration is an applique cut from a printed fabric (cretonne, for instance) and pasted against the shape with a millinery glue. It is outlined with needlework in black yarn. This Is a favorite style which may be had with linen, cotton. or silk covering. -..

You may have almost any kind of hat you will, without uneasiness as to it's good style, if it is we'll made and has trimming of some kind Every lhing is decorated, from sports hats to evening hats, and millinery Is abloom with flowers and other trim mings, in greater profusion than for many years past.
 Even the average woman refuses to De satisfied with one or two hats with which to face the summer season. Be- sides hat for street or travelling, and a dress hat, she must have a motor nat and a sports hat, or she may make a sports hat do more than double duty. Milliners say that wom- en have grown very discriminating and insist upon millinery made to suit the several occasions that take up he days of the good old summertime.
 Those for sports and those for mo- tor wear are to be had in good styles 1t comparatively low prices. Street pats and dress hats have advanced in price as a natural consequence of more trimming and additional work in mak- ing them.
 In the picture two dress hats and a sports hat are shown. At the left a model for midsummer has a crown of hemp with wide brim of lace hair braid edged with plain hair braid. Set ,brut the crown, where it joins the ,rim, is a wreath of pansies and ,eaves. The blossoms are scattered

INCREASING VALUE OF LANDS
Immense UncuItivated Area Cannot Be Developed Until Improved
 Highways Are Constructed.

There are over 4OO,OOO,OOO acres ot uncultivated land in the United States awaiting development that cannot be developed without improved highways. It has been shown that the value of land is increased evenly with the im- provement for the roads, the increase running from s2 to $9 the acre. AS the roads are improved, there is 8 corresponding increase in population. In twenty-five counties, taken at ran dom, which have contained on an av- craze only 11z per cent of improved roads in the decade 1890 to 1900, there was a falling off in population of 5000 in each county. In twenty five other counties, taken at random, in which there was an average of 40

very generous in their proportions and further amplified with attached capes One wonders where all the taffeta used is coming from, for it is away ir the lead as a popular material for af ternoon frocks and suits, petticoats jackets, and bathing suits. Then il is much used in bands on dresses made of both heavier and lighter goods. It is shown in many patterns There are plain colors, and plain col ors with sprigs of flowers over the surface. There are checks and stripes, plaids and cross-bars, besides innumerable changeable effects. Its crispness and body, with it's light weight, make it an ideal material fol our present fashions. In the very light changeable colors it makes the daintiest of morning or negligee coats
 Several of the foremost costumers are using taffeta in ruchings, and fray ing the edges. These are used wher ever plaitings and ruchings may be used, which is about everywhere. The coat in the picture might be trimmed with them instead of with velve bands. By making fuller sleeve ant adding a shoulder cape, which may be detachable, it may be made to speal the last word in taffeta coats.

Little Roller Skaters. show you fancy skating such as you have never seen in all your lives
 And the fairies believed it, for they knew that the fancy skating of the brownies would be quite different from any other so-called fancy skat- ing!
 ITO their surprise the brownies had practiced what to do each time they fell down. They would either turn a somersault or do a handspring or slide along the soft moss in very funny way, with their arms and legs flying above, it seemed! How the fairies did laugh, for they never knew what the brownies were going to do next. They were certainly the funniest little roller skaters, and the fairies thought they should just be called trollers,' because they rolled more than they skated!
 At the very end of the day, though, when once more the brownies were doing some of their tricks, the leader said:
 "'Now for our ballet dance.'
 And all the little brownies did a ballet dance which they named the Tumble-the best name they could have given it, for they tumbled far more than they danced!"

PREVENT DISEASE IN FLOCK
Cause of Roup Can Always Be Traced to Filth of Some kind-keep
 Houses and Yards Clean.

The fundamental cause of roup can be always traced to filth of some kind, which may be no fault of the owner, since the birds may eat putrid food It neighbor's premises, or when ex- hibited at some poultry show.
 But usually the trouble lies in the home poultry quarters, and especial care should be exercised to keep the yard free from putrid food and the house and al; vessels used for feeding and drinking purposes as clean as pos sible at all times.

A good homemade insect powder can be made by thoroughly mixing one-fourth pint of cresol and three fourths of pint of gasoline. Add to this mixture gradually with stirring just enough plaster of paris to take up the liquid. For the above amounts it will take about two and a half pounds of plaster of paris. Spread out thin on paper until dry, screen care fully and it is ready for use. If strong crude carbolic acid is available it can be used instead of cresol. This

RETURN ALL INFERTILE EGGS
Disappointing to Customer Who Wants to Get as Many Chicks as Fossil
 bIe-No Fault of Buyer.

Infertile eggs are very disappointing to customer who wants to get as many chicks as possible out of the number he buys. Some owners adver- tise that they will replace all infertile eggs, while others guarantee a ma jority hatch.
 If the eggs test out infertile after seven days incubation, the purchaser should return them to seller, as evil dence that they were not fertile, and receive fresh eggs in exchange. It is no fault of the buyer if the eggs are infertile.

per cent of improved roads, the in- crease of population in each county was 31,000. The 'back-to-the-farm' movement will progress just in pro portion to the improvement of the the highways is dependent upon ad- ministration not less than upon con- struction.
 There must be skill in the super vision as well as in the building of the roads. Heretofore at least nine tenths of the work on the roads has been done under the direction of men without any knowledge of roadbuild- ing, which is an art based upon a sci ence. There are today more than 10O,- 900 petty road officials in the United States who have no practical knowl- edge of the simplest engineering prob lens that must be solved in the loca- tion of the roads, in their relation to a general systsem, or to related sys- tems; but who are supposed to have great influence in neighborhood polt- tics and are mighty at the polls. It is from this incubus that the problem must be relieved if the country is to enjoy the benefits of a well ordered system of highways.
 Good roads not only cost a great deal of money in their construction, but also in their maintenance or ad- ministration. It has been the habit in this country to work on the roads when all other work was done. and this has meant that the roads have had attention only once or twice a year Macadam roads do not take care of themselves, concrete roads should have constant attention, sand clay roads require daily supervision if they are to give service for which they were designed and built. In France every mile of road is inspected daily, and it is the constant vigilance of trained supervision that enables the railroads of the country to take care of the business of the country. There ought to be the same sort and degree of supervision of the roads of the United States if they are to give the service for which they are built. To make a mile of macadam road eight lCCI Wlu0 dlu ciSuL l1CAcS IhlCh, 1,toU tons of stone are required, and to build mile of gravel road eight feet wide and eight inches thick, l, 1,142.93 cubic yards of competed, or, 1,564 cu- bic yards of loose gravel are required, and in order that the best results may be obtained, there must be competent | supervision not only in the mixing of the materials employed in the build l ing of the roads of the several types, but in the placing of materials.
 There are 100000 miles of what | are commonly called dirt roads, in | the United States, and to make them effective there must be proper drain age, such grading and alignment as will make them it for the traffic c and constant surface betterment, and | it is nothing short of criminal waste | to build roads of macadam and ex- pect them to take care of themselves. Undoubtedly the best system of main tenance for all roads is that which pro. vides for the permanent and some times continuous employment of skilled lahorers who have charge of particular sections of road, or who may be assigned to any part of the l county or other road unit where there | is work most needed.

 To apply the powder, dust the birds thoroughly around the vent and in the fluff under the wings. This applica- tion should be followed by a second in four to six days to kill the lice or mites from the unmatched eggs or "nits" present at the first treatment.

There is no economy in feeding fowls only one kind of grain, for that compels them to eat more than they should to get sufficient quantity of food clements.
 A large part of the egg is water, which necessitates providing the lay CTS with an ample supply of pure wa ter. All of the fowls should have plenty of pure drinking water also.
