KEEP MOTHER HEN CONFINED
Loss of Chicks by Exposure Largely
Preventable by Keeping Hen in
Ventilated Coop.

It is not good poultry management
to allow the mother hen to range I'M
restricted with her chicks. With such
freedom the hen frequently takes her
brood through wet grass and, as re-
suit, some are chilled and die, espe-
cially the weaker ones, which are like
ly to be left behind. The loss of young
chicks which follows such practice
is large and mainly preventable. Fur
thermore, the food which brood al
lowed to range with the hen obtains
goes very largely to keep up the heat
of the body and the chicks do not
make as good growth as they other
wise would.
Chick losses of this nature can be
largely prevented by shutting the hen
in a coop. Any style Of coop which
is dry, ventilated and can be closed
at night to protect the brood against
cats, rats and other animals, and

women on every kind of errand bent,
stopping at restaurants for lunch,
shopping in the hottest days for new
clothes to carry them through the ap-
pointments of the next month; and the
sewing rooms of those who make their
gowns at home are busy preparing the
increased number of blouses, skirts
and underwear that this sudden call
to arms has brought about.
The government of the United
States steps in also as buyer of huge
amounts. 1t is ordering clothes for
the enlisted woman of the naval re-
serve force. Already it has asked for
1000 blue serge suits, smartly made,
1000 white cotton drill suits, 1000
separate white skirts, 1000 straw hats,
and another 1000 dark blue felt hats.
Government Sets Styles.
The tendency in all the new clothes
is toward the silhouette adopted by
the government for its enlisted women.
Skirts are narrow and of reasonable
length, blouses are simple, with wide
turnover collars of lace or white wash
material and jackets are short and
made on a mannish model, depending
on the cut for distinction.
Those who do not care for suits are
fitting out their wardrobes with cotton
frocks. Even at the smartest hotels
! in the heart of great centers, fashion
able women are appearing in checked
ginghams with broad straw hats.
This is a fashion which has never
been tolerated in the majority of great
| Am 9rican cities. Such clothes have
always been kept for the suburban
| towns and the country, and when a
woman found it necessary to go on the
street of a great city during the heat
of the day, she felt that tradition de-
manded that she subject herself to the
discomfort of a suit. She preferred
to pass away from moisture in a blue
serge coat and skirt, then roam the
streets in a checked cotton gown and
white shoes.
Now, the embargo on such costum-
cry is lifted. The only one costume
which is comfortable and is yet taboo
in city streets is the separate skirt
with the white shirtwaist. There must
be coat or wrap of some kind to
cover the sharp juxtaposition of two
fabrics and two colOrs.
One of the great Western houses re-
ports that it has been necessary to
provide the greatest amount of frocks
and suits for war work for women dur
ing this summer than ever before. The

PRODUCING EGGS IN SUMMER
Better Methods of Caring for Eggs
and Proper Packing Would Reduce
Needless Loss.

Losses in eggs during the summer
months fall directly upon the farmers.
Dealers know that an average of 10 to
IS per cent of eggs marketed during
the summer is either a total or par
tial loss; hence prices, they say, are
based upon good eggs only.
Better methods of caring for the
eggs and better packing before they
are shipped would reduce this unnec-
essary loss.
A few definite rules for the pre-
vention of loss in summer eggs are
formulated by the poultry division at
the Pennsylvania State college: %
Produce sterile or infertile eggs. CO.
Keep eggs in a cool, dry place. CD
Have clean nests and plenty of them.
az Do not keep the eggs near kerosene
or decaying vegetables. They absorb
odors readily. (5) Market the eggs fire.
quently. Holding does not improve
quality.

War Activities
Affect Clothes

New York.-War relief work has
given an unusual stimulation to the
clothes industry. The dressmakers
were not in a happy frame of mind
during the spring. They felt as if i'll
luck were hitting them all along the
line. There was an offensive against
the center and the ends.
First, there were the enormous
prices that had to- be paid to the
French designers for the gowns that
were sent to this country as inspira-
tons for new work. Added to the
prices was the serious danger of not
being able to get the clothes that
were ordered through the lack Of
transportation that came after this
government dismissed the German am
bassador.
The renewed activity of the subma-
rine campaign was liable to make Mr..
Ginty and French gowns comrades on
the sands of the sea.
When the prices had been paid by
the dressmakers for the spring gowns
and the transportation had proved Sc
cure, America declared war, and the
economy cry was raised.
The dreSsmakers and the shOpkeep-
ers who sell clothes had not had suf-
fcient time to realize a profit on their
vast expenses Cor French gowns in

cided, possibly unwisely, that they
would hold sweeping sales in order

commerce. The shops were also COM
PEELED to pay their salaries during this

they could do this more easily by hold
ing sales. They would get cash, and
they would keep the worlIrooms busy
by alterations.
New Clothes for Quiet People.
BY the time a great many people
who deal in women's apparel consid-
cred themselves on the verge of nerv-
Gus prostration through the strain of
the spring, there came into the whole
clothes situation a glimmer of light
that has broadened into a strong ray
of sunshine.
1t has created optimism in all quar-
ters. 1t came through war relief ac-
tivities. That seems an astounding
thing to have happened, but it is an
other phase of the proverb, at is an

which, while confirming the hen, will
allow the chicks to pass in and out
freely after they are few days old,
will be satisfactory. The hen should
be confined until the chicks are
weaned, though a small yard may be
attached to the coop, if desired, to al
low the hen to exercise. The fence
can be raised from the ground far
enough to allow the chicks to go in
or out, but not high enough for the
hen to escape. BY using a coop the
chicks can find shelter and warmth
under the hen at any time and the
weaklings, after few days, may de-
velop into strong, healthy chicks.

STRICT STANDARD FOR EGGS

The day of Standardization in the
egg market is here. When eggs sold
for a cent apiece, the claim IAN egg
is an egg" was accepted. With our
present increased prices, the con-
sumer naturally is asking for great
er quality and higher Standardization
in the products he buys.
A number of our best markets are
now demanding that eggs shall weigh
at least "a ounces per dozen. They
must stand a Gambling test, be clean,
uniform in size, shape and color of
shell.
When rigid standards are well es-
tabished the producer of frst-class
fresh eggs will receive premium
and will no longer have his prices
governed by the ungraded, poorly
handled product.

but the entire thing happened where
1t only could happen, in this tremen-
dously prosperous country.
The beginning Of the war has been
written in chapters of activity on this
side and fighting on the other side.
Literally, millions of women insisted
upon doing their bit. The drive of the
Red Cross, which was nationwide; the
extraordinary grouping together of va
riOuS units for sane and instant relief ;
the hospital work, the arrangement for
providing comfort kits for the navy,
the league work of rolling bandages,
are merely few of the dominant ac-
tivities which interest women this
summer.
While those who are rich and fash
ionable have put their shoulders to
the wheel with tremendous energy and
enthusiasm, the appeal for workers
has gone into the byways and hedges
of social life.
The summer, therefore, is a season
to be filled with intense activity and
great national grouping of women
from every rank and file of human life
on this continent, all met together I'M
der one flag.
