CARE FOR CHICKENS
Every Preparation Made to Insure
Fowls With Proper Supply OF
Food Will Be Repaid.

In the winter the care Of poultry Is
quite a task and every preparation
that is made to reduce work and in
sure the birds with a proper supply OF
clean food will be well repaid. On
the general farm the cattle, sheep and
hogs will doubtless come first and too
often the hens are neglected. The
only way to insure proper treatment
for the poultry flock is to equip the
house with feeding appliances that
will enable the farmer to care for the
flock without wasting time. All Of the
hOppers can be made on the farm
from packing boxes or scrap lumber
and when once constructed the job Is
done and the hens will pay for the
labor many times.

Hungary, from her early days has been
studious and is an accomplished mu-
stefan and well versed in literature, his
tory and philosophy. She also is fond
of society and is a graceful dancer.
Empress Zita was born in the VII
la Reale at PianOre in the Italian,
province Of Lucca, May o, 1882, the
daughter Of Duke Robert and Duchess
Maria AntOinette Of Parma. She Is
of Bourbon descent. Her early train
ing was In the hands of the Marquise
Della Rosa.
Later she entered a convent at
Zangbert, where she presided now and
then as organist In the chapel.
After her fathers death, Princess
Zita in 1908 spent some time In the
Ryde convent, isle Of Wight, where

TRIALS WITH SEED
Difference In Favor Of Home Grown
Wheat Seed one to Five Bushels
Per Acre ls Found.

The North Dakota experiment sta
ton has carried on several trials In
comparing the yield from homegrown
seed wheat and the same wheat after
being grown three years In Minneso-
tn. The first two years the yield was
four and one-eighth bushels in favor
Of the home grown seed.
In the different trials the difference
in favor of the homegrown seed va
ried from one to five bushels per acre.
1t must be kept In mind that this was
the same wheat to begin with. So
these results will not apply to the In

RAISING MUTTON AND WOOL
Marketable Lambs Can Be Produced
by Crossing Western Ewes With
Good Mutton Ram.

Native or western ewes crossed with
a good mutton ram produce good mar
ketable lambs and with present prices
of wool, the fleece will more than pay
the cost Of keeping the ewes. Native
ewes will be high in price.
Western breeding ewes can be pur-
chased in carload lots at any Of the
stockyards. One hundred and thirty
to one hundred and forty will be re-
Quired to make up a carload.

Revival Of Shocking.
Since the advent of high priced and
artistic evening coats, which are fitted
in at the shoulders through elaborate
shocking done with silk threads in
the same color as the velvet or satin
material, there has come about a re-
vival of this primitive style of hand
work. It has been used for three or
four years on that wide assortment of
so-called garden costumery that took
women's fancy, but, as a means Of
ornamentation, 1t was not used on high
priced, elaborate garments until Lam
vim and Cheruit took it up for velvet
evening capes. Lanvin went from
shocking to quilting, and 1t is rather
strange that America has not caught
up with this trick Of fashion, for we
were once known as a nation of quilt
ers and our quilting bees, as a method
Of social diversion, were Incorporated
into our history.
The French are still using quilting
as a method of Ornamenting coats and
one-piece frocks. A satin street suit,
made with severity, has it's hem, its
belt, and the wrist part Of its long,
tight sleeve finished In machine quilt
ing done in coarse, black silk thread.
Sports skirts Of white jersey have
quilted hens Of scarlet, and quilted
kangaroo pockets hanging from the
sides of the three-Quarter coats. This
stitchery rivals shocking on the
French gowns, and both of these meth
DDS of Ornamenting a plain garment
should suggest to the woman who sews
at home, an excellent way out Of an
ever present difficulty.

GOOD HENH0USE EQUIPMENT
Low Table for Water and Milk 10
Handy-Hopper for Dry Mash 10
Of Much Importance.

Keeping the flock in good condition
is more easily accomplished If the
house is furnished with good equip
ment. An Oblong table about two feet
high and long enough for the water
pail and a crock of sour milk will be
useful in protecting the receptacles
from the litter on the floor.
A large feed hopper which will hold
weeks supply of dry mash is i'm
portant. Small hOppers for feeding
grit, oyster shell and charcoal are nee
essary.
An effort to get along without the
hoppers will always result in wasted
feed or a poor condition of the flock
if any of the necessary ingredients are
not furnished.

BABY OF The SENATE

"Joe" Wolcott of Delaware, who
defeated Col. Henry A. du POnt last
fall for the senate, is the "baby" Of the
upper house.
Rightly his name is not "Joe;" 1t

SECOND RICHEST AMERICAN

w. A. Clark, former United States

Of Butte. Mont. He was in on the first

TREES PROTECT FARM FOWLS
In Summer They Afford Shade and In
Winter Some Protection From
Wind and Sleet.

Those who live near a forest where
the chickens, turkeys and guineas may
have the range of the forest are for
tunate. In the summer the trees af-
ford shade, in the winter some pro-
lection from the chilling winds and
driving sleet. Besides trees protect
the soil keep it from washing or blow
ing; they shed their leaves, making a
covering to hold moisture, protect in
sects, etc.
Fowls delight to scratch among
leaves under trees and In little for
est. Turkeys will eat acOrns and find
many insects in such places as the
forest or grove.
Where one lives on a prairie or on
the plains it would be well worth
while to plant a few trees near the
home to protect it from the bleak
winds, add to its setting and at the
same time give the fowls a place to
range" Even on the plains such
quick growth as black locust or ca
talpa could be planted and it would
not be long till nice little grove
would be had. There are other trees
that grow fast and would soon make
sufficient growth to be of use to the
poultry. The trees need not waste,
for when large enough for posts or
other useful purposes they could be
thinned and younger growth left to
take the place Of the older.
Even where one has bat q city lot
or a small poultry yard on the farm
a few shrubs could be used to advan-
tage for shade In summer and for win
ter protection. Figs, privet, grape
vines. JapOnica, Deutzia, spirea, lilac
and other shrubs or vines might be
used for this purpose.
