Not often Tried.

Goose eggs can be successfuliy
Matched In incubators, but 1t Is not n
common practice, because 1t Is doubt
full whether they would do well raised
In brooders.
Either geese or hens are commonly
used for Matching and rearing pur-
poses. If the eggs are Matched by
hens or incubators, 1t would be adj
visable to add moisture to the eggs
during the first week by sprinkling
the eggs or nests with warm water.
From four to six eggs are usually
placed under hen, and from ten to
thirteen eggs under goose.
II Matched by hens, the hen should
be kept confined, and goslings not al
lowed to go into the water, especially
II the water Is cold. To be assured
of success in raising goslings, they
should not be Matched until the grass

In addition to that they should be
fed any Of the mashes recommended
for chickens or goslings. Special care
should be taken in seeing that NIL OF

State Bureau Says Prospects
are Good with the Excep-
ton of Wheat.
LOSSES CAUSED BY STORMS
Hall, Wind and Rain Caused Damage
in Southeast Section-Corn
Is Near Normal.

With the exception of wheat, which
promises yield of only about 10000
900 bushels, prospects for all Missouri
crops are fair, according to the month
ly crop report issued by w. L. Nelson,
assistant secretary of the state board
of agriculture. The report follows in
part:
Heavy and general rains through
out most of the state and frequent
showers in other sections put a stop
to farm operations during the latter
part of May. Fortunately, at the time
work was interrupted it was well adj
vanced.
There have been heavy local losses
from hail, wind and electrical storms,
especially in the southeast section
Previous to the recent rains there was
fear of a scarcity of stock water in a
large number of counties. A few COM
plants are heard as to work of cut
worms and wire worms. More season

ed. but 1t is certain that some second
planting will be necessary as the stand
thus far has been but Sc per cent Of
normal. This means that about one
fourth of the fields have been planted
over. In some cases one-half the early
planting was failure On the other
hand, various localities report excel
lent stands.
Correspondents report a slight i'm
provement in wheat during May, June

pared with 51.9 per cent one month

THE outlook is for good oat crop,
condition on June being 90 per cent,
as compared with ten-year average of

SPRINGFIELD BABY BURIED
Funeral of Murdered Child Attended
by Thousands of citizens-Serv-
ices in a Church.

Baby Lloyd Keet, whose life was
the toll exacted by abductors, was
buried at Springfield recently.
Thousands of Springfield citizens
were at st. Paul's Methodist Episcopal
church, where the services were held,
and in the cortege that followed the
little white casket to the Maple Park
cemetery. Grief for the stricken faith
err and mother had overcome the lust
for vengeance that manifested itself
previously, when 10000 persons, pa.
rading the uptown streets. demanded
the lives of the six persons they sus-
pected Of completely in the crime.
j. Holland Keet, the father, and his
wife bore up bravely through the or
deal of the afternoon. But Mrs. Kent
gave evidence, as she appeared at the
church and at the cemetery, of her
sorrow and, although she has recov.
cred partially from the prostration
caused by the finding of the baby's
body, she was under the guardianship
Of physicians during the funeral. The
baby's grandmother, Mrs. Kate Keet,
was unable to attend; her condition
was such that it was not dared to Per-
NIT her to leave her sons home in
Meadowmere Place.
The services were pronounced by
the Rev w. A. McClannahan and were
simple. Several hymns were sung and
prayers offered. Then the body was
taken TO the cemetery.
But the holding Of the funeral did
not stop police and county authorities
from going ahead with the search they
are making for those who threw little
Lloyd into the old well on the deserted
Crenshaw farm eight miles southwest
of there. At the same time floral tri-
butes were pouring into the Keet home
in great numbers. Paul O'Day, prose

body until the baby was smothered.

Trouser Skirts
Gaining Ground

New York.-It Is IN oft repeated as
sertion that the French never give up
the idea of trousers for women, and
the world that Is opposed to such an
idea always comes back with the state
ment that France, who adores the fem
mime in woman more than any other
nation in the world, insists upon her
wearing q costume that Is entirely
mannish.
1t was France who opposed the An
glO-Saxon coat and skirt of worsted
material on the ground that 1t took
away from women that alluring femi-
ninity which Is their chief charm. 1t
was the Paris designers who said that
they never cared to perfect themselves
in the making of costumery that was
not befitting to the soft curves and CO.
quetry Of woman's figure and face.
And yet 1t Is Paris who, for at least
six years, has inslstently struck the
note of trousers for women throughout
the seasons. She points to the trous-
ers of the Orient, however, as the ones
to be initiated. The bifurcated gar
ments that she designs are full of
feminine touches. They are not the
square, rigorous "pants" of the male
attire of this generation. And yet, one
of the most coquettish things the little
girls of Montmartre do in Paris is to
swagger about the restaurants in boy
ish attire-the large trousers Of the
quarter, the short jacket, the soft shirt
with its rolling collar and the flowing
students tie.
1t was these little French girls who
first bobbed the hair off la Buster
Brown and wore the SLOUGH hat pulled

cOiffure-or lack of coiffure-was In.
lroduccd here by Mrs. Vernon Castle
and taken up by thousand and one
other women In and out of society, 1t
was thought to be something quite out
rageOus. France had accepted 1t for
ten years without culver. Her peo-
pie asserted that the bobbed hair of
boy was excessively coquettish
against the allurement of young
girls face. However, in this country,
especially in New York, there are now
women Of fifty with gray hair who
have it bobbed to the ears and fresh
ly curled every day; so the antagon-
ism has evidently died down.
Coquettsh Ways With Trousers.
America does not seem to be averse
to trousers; now that the first shock
is over she looks upon them with calm
acceptance, provided they are cut &C
cording to the coquettish manner
which France insists upon. They are
usually part of q skirt, they do not
indicate the shape of the leg above
the knee and they are managed in
some fashion that gives attractiveness
to the entire garment.
Erie the young French designer who
was with Paul Poiret, invented the
white cloth skirt that shaped Itself
at the hem into tight-fitting gaiters
with n strap under the shoe. This
was the very first indication of the
now famous zouave skirt.
There are already several patterns
of walking skirts, and also those used
for sports In the open country, which
are made of shadow plaid or vague
striped worsteds that resolve them

to brush ends of thread and clippings

BREAKING UP BRooDY FOWLS

Nothing Else While Country

Sherwood. "Hens should be broken
up as soon as they become broody, If
possible do not let them set over night,

WAYS FOR AIRING INCUBATOR
Best Matches Are Often the Result Of
Cooling, Especially During Warm
Summer Weather.

One may air the eggs In an incuba-
tor in two ways. One method is to

temperature be found trifle high.
and the other way is to turn the eggs
slowly to inhale fresh air and to con-
fine the real cooling to one or two
periods when eggs have been incu-
bated Is and II days and to cool them
down until the shells are actually cold.
The best matches are often the result
of such cooling, especially in warm
weather.

as content to sit on the ground as they
were on the nest.
1T Ia a mistake to starve broody
hen. She should be well fed at this
time, so that she will be ready to lay
when turned out. Avoid fattening the
hen while breaking her up. Give
limited amount Of grains and liberal
supply of milk and table scraps. Care
should be taken to turn the hens out
as soon as they are broken up"
