GUINEA INCREASE IN DEMAND

Pearl White and Lavender-Pearl is by far the most popular It has purplish gray plumage regularly dotted or 'pearled' with white ana is so handsome that frequently the feathers are used for ornamental purposes. Breeding stock of the various varieties usually sells for g to S3.50 Q pair or from s to s trio. Eggs from pure-bred birds for matching can be ob tained for 75 cents to S1 for 15. During the last few years a limited market for guinea eggs has developed among commercial hatcheries which have an outlet for few day-old guinea chicks along with their ordinary chicks, ducklings, goslings and turkey poults. While guineas can be kept in the best condition upon free range, they can be confined if necessary and satisfactory re- suits obtained
 The marketing season for guinea fowl is during the latter part of the summer and throughout the fall. At this time the demand in the city markets is for young birds weighing from one to two pounds each. At about 215 months of age guinsas weigh from one to one and one-half pounds and at this size they begin to reach the markets in August. As the season advances the demand is for heav- fer birds.
 The usual practice in marketing game birds is to place them on the market un- plucked, and in most markets guineas are sold in this way. They are more attrac- tive with the feathers on and sell more readily. When dressed the small size and dark color of the guinea are likely to prejudice the prospective customer, who may unfamiliar with the birds ex- cellent eating qualities. For hotel and restaurant trade, however guineas should be dressed in the same way as common fowl. Before shipping any birds to market it is advisable to inquire of the dealer to whom they ure to be shipped whether the feathers should be removed.
 If the guineas are to be marketed with the feathers on, all that should be done is to bleed them by severing the vein in the roof of the mouth, allowing them to hang head downward until bleeding is com plete If the feathers are to be removed, this should be done by dry picking. The vein in the roof of the mouth is severed first to insure thorough bleeding, and the knife then thrust through the groove in the roof of the mouth into the brain. When the brain is pierced the feathers are loosened by a convulsive movement of the muscles and can be removed easily.

forage and has been using every possible aSt ncy; otherwise raany would have died cf starvation on tic anges Cattle nave gone to Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Geor sia and Florida, and these st91ea have co-operated with he federal government in helping to ln:, ke the move ment possible. fife authorities in M,s, sisslppi at first thought that there were roo many cate within inc state, but q survey taken by counties, through the help of county agents, showed that while some counties dad an excess of cattle for sale, in others there were many farmers who wisheJ to buy cattle, and talancing of ,hosc for sale and those in demand showed that he state could take 2 great many more than it had ol, land. Many os these came from tho Texas supply.
 Ore of the ad Iontages of the work dore this year is in Showing how the situa- ,itn may be handled shou similar con- ditions arise again.

Guinea fowls, which have suffered un- popularity with farmers because of pro- nounced propensties for noise making during the sleeping hours of humans, are likely to rise above this objection in view of a steadily increasing demand for their delicious flesh. in the opinion of a poul- try specialist of the United States de- partment of agriculture. With eastern markets offering 70 cents to $150 pair for these fowls, guinea raising now is a profitable side line on eastern farms and may offer opportunities to the com mercial poultryman in a few cases In Farmers Bulletin No. S5S, .The guinea Fowl, the specialist discusses the guinea business from the starting of flock to marketing the produce, which is largely the meat
 The increasing demand for guineas comes from hotels and restaurants in the large cities, which are always eager to buy prime young stock. These they par ticularly like to use as a delicacy in ban quets and club dinners, guineas being good substitute for game birds such as grouse, partridge, quail and pheasant. The present supply comes largely from small farm flocks of 10 to 25 folws. Such flocks require little care and expense to raise; consequently the marketing price is largely profit
 And as for that undesirable cry of the guinea, it might often be listed as an asset. II SlVeS warning Of marauderS in the poultry yard and also, backed by a pugnacious disI 5tion. constitutes an ef- fective show of fight against hawks and other enemies. In fact, some farmers raise 8 few guineas with their turkeys and allow them to roost together so that a warning will Ee given if any theft is attempted during the night.
 Guinea raisers who are near the large eastern markets or who have developed a trade among private customers are now receiving prices that make this indus try very profitable. One poultryman near a New England summer resort has raised as many as 400 guineas in one season, selling them in August when they weighed about one pound each at SIPS a pair Wholesale prices in New York usually range from 75 cents to $1 a pair for the dressed spring guineas weighing two pounds to the pair. and from $1 25 to $1 50 pair for those weighing three to, four pounds to the pair. Old guineas are not wanted and seldom bring more than 50 or 60 cents a pair.

SAVING CATTLE BY SHIPPING

Trainloads of cattle are being shipped from the drought-stricaen portions of Texas to other points in the south just as fast as railroad facilities will permit
 Since July l there have been moved from Texas to points in the southeastern states more than 13,00O head of cattle
 and the department of agriculture ex- poets that by the end of September fully 25,000 head will be so moved. This move ment was made necessary because of the drought and other conditions in certain parts of Texas which threatened the loss of valuable breeding stock. Most of the cattle now being moved are females. Practically all were bought outright by farmers and land owners in the new territories The expense of the work of supervising shipments of these cattle, to the end of September, will not exceed st000, which makes the cost incurred by the department of agriculture for nov ing the cattle only about 90 cents a head.
 Because of the lack of rain and conse- quent lack of pastureage in much of the range region of Texas, the department undertook to help open up to cattle rais- CTS channels of outlet for cattle which coulG not be carried on the range any longer. Under the conditions as they have existed in Texas the cattle owners first had to get rtd of their older steers, then the younger, then the calves, and finally the cows themselves which formed the very basis of the herds.

shell holes.
They opened cross-fire on the for

dropped into the nearest shell hole,
which was almost full of rain water.

an exaggerated greatness because she
is so intellectual. Why, Miss Worth
ington is intensely human, she regards
her successful novel as q mere cas-

her comment upon some of the en-
gineering feats in which you have
shared, as evidence Of a capacity and

"Grub work, compared to the high
realm of imagery of her peerless
spirit"

"Say, her feet are clay, like those of
all womankind. If you're drifting to-

"But she would scorn my humble pc

crushes me, will at least bask in
the sunlight of her presence ever and

Boyd, in a frenzy of ecstatic long

that he was doomed to never tell his

Justed with merely a loop Of military
braid run through n buttonhole and
tied back on itself.
The smartest afternoon gowns have
large buttonholes from neck TO waist,
through which are run pieces Of braid
or picot-edged ribbon tying the two
fronts together.
No woman who likes puzzles and
who is fond of trying out novel
schemes, can fail to be interested In
this game. She can wear new gown
with new kind Of fastening and crow
over her neighbors as though she had
taken in the largest subscription for
the Liberty loan. 1t may develop into
n pastime, if the interest and excite
ment in this kind of clothing keep up.
At the moment of writing, our gov
ernment has not put an embargo on
the amount of material TO be used in
each gown. Germany and France have
both done this, and those who are in
Paris say that the French dressmakers
have taken the keenest delight in fol-
lowing the decree. A quantity Of ma
terial in n gown has never appealed
to a French designer, and with the gov
ernment behind the elimination of fab
rics, each of the gowns turned out this
year shows originality Of conception
and treatment in achieving an artistic
result with very few meters of cloth.
The French Silhouette.
A few of the American clothes
which were designed before the
French silhouette was thoroughly ac-
cepted, have taken their place a lit
tie behind the front row Of fashions
because they look bunglesome. Here
is the French silhouette as the best
dressed Americans have adopted 1t:
A slim underslirt made in one piece
that runs from the collarbone nearly
to the ankle in n street frock, and
from bust to within six inches of the
ankle in an evening gown. 1t is mere
ly the skeleton of the gown, but on
it are draped the few remaining
yards of fabric that are allowed to
complete the work.
Therefore, it is quite fashionable to
use transparent material for the af-
ternoon and evening, in order to
slow the slim little slip beneath. 1t
is not necessary that the transparent
fabric used over this slip should be
cut off to correspond. 1t may rise
to the shoulders and drop to the in
step, and in that very alluring trans
parency, you get the East Indian eff
feet.
The statement may be taken as au-
thOrltative that whatever gown has
