EGG PRODUCTION CUT
LICE AND MITES MATERIALLY RE-
 DUcE YIELD OF LAYERS.
Effective Control Is Most Thorough Sanitation-Give Poultry House Thorough Cleaning and Then
 Disinfect.

That lice and mites materially cut down egg production, is the belief of F. B. Fox, assistant in poultry hus- bandry.
 "Lice and mites, by feeding on lay ing hens, cause reduction in egg production" said MT. Fox. "The lice live continuously upon the fowl, eat ing the tissues and causing much an- noyance by scratching and irritating the bird. Mites suck the blood of the victim, and thus, in addition to an- nOyance and pain, rob the fowl of needed nourishment.
 Lice have biting mouth parts, and are therefore easily poisoned. For this purpose, blue ointment is the most eff fective and easiest to apply. A piece about the size of pea should be well rubbed into the fluff we'll up into the skin just below the vent. AS the lice necessarily must come here for moisture, they are readily poisoned. The treatment should be repeated in a week or ten days to assure killing those that hatch later.
 Another common remedy for lice Is pyrethrum powder, which should be thoroughly dusted into the feathers. This powder is rather expensive, how ever, and homemade powder that Is just as effective may be made at saving Use three parts of gasoline and one part coal tar dip. Mix these together and add enough plaster of paris or building cement to take up the moisture. This powder must be used often and is therefore not so eff fective as the method first described.
 Mites are combated in different manner, because of vital difference in their life habits. They live upon the fowl only at night, sucking the blood. They then leave the bird and hide in cracks, crevices and filth dur ing the day.
 Effective control Is mostly through sanitation. Give the house a thor ough cleaning. Throw out all litter and straw, clean out all filth, brush down the sides, and sweep the cell ing. Scrub out the house with warm water. Spray thoroughly with coal tar dip, carbolic acid mixed with water, or pure kerosene. In applying these solutions, brush may be used, but a spray pump is the most desirable. Re peat the spraying in a week or ten days to assure the death of those that hatch after the first spraying"

NEW SHIRT-WAlST FR0cKS
Great Variety of Materials Being Used In Thousands of Gowns
 Produced.

Crepe de chine, Georgette, all the Chinese silks and pongees, foulard. striped wash silks in light colors and handkerchief linen are the fabrics turned into thousands of gowns this summer for women who no longer stay at home during the day.
 One of the great Western houses re- ports that 1t has been necessary to provide a great amount of frocks and suits for war work for women during this summer than ever before.
 The reason Is the somersault in the summer regime. Women will not spend their time for three months of hot weather as they have done for cen tury. They have work to do in the world, and they must have fitting and comfortable clothes for that work.

commercial venture. A couple of dozen roots will be sufficient for the use of small family and the number may be increased at will to suit the purposes of the grower.
 Instead of seeds, sets. or small pieces of roots are planted. They are per fectly hardy and can be taken up in the fall or in the early spring just as one wishes. Plenty of moisture and a deep rich soil are the chief things to be desired from the cultural viewpoint. The advantage of deep digging for straight roots is illustrated by the picture, and the same advan- tage Is obvious for all root vegetables.

LITTLE THINGS ABOUT CALF
Give Whole MIX Until One Month Old, Then Change to Skim Milk
 Time for Breeding.

If calves are weaned they should be fed whole milk until they are one month old, when they should be changed to skim milk until they are six months old. While they are on milk they should be given some grain and alfalfa hay.
 A good mixture for grain feed is four parts of corn or corn chop, one part of oil meal, and two parts of wheat bran. After taking the calf off the milk, increase the grain gradually to two pounds day in addition to silage and alfalfa hay.
 The heifers should be bred so as to calve when from twenty-four to thirty months of age, depending upon the breed and growth of the animal. If bred so as to calve earlier than this their growth is apt to be injured.

IMPRESSIVE IN HIS SPEECH
Old Soldier Endeavored to Make vo- eabuIary Fit the Responsibilities

An old soldier was for long time curator of a certain public educational institution. In accordance with the duties of his responsible position 1t sometimes fell to his lot to remind the students of forgotten regulations.
 Gentlemen" he shouted, on one oc- casion, when game of leapfrOg was going on in a somewhat shaky gallery, "why this violent disturbance?"
 "Well," was the reply, "what busi- ness is 1t of yours?"
 "Gentlemen," he responded, indig- nantly, displaying his full height. "do you know that am placed here by the governors of this college to conserve this building?"
 At another time the prank was played upon him of being simultane- ously summoned by two students from different ends of the corridor.
 "Gentlemen," he cried out, "I really cannot be uniquitous!" 1"
 On another occasion, after heavy rains, there was dire disaster of malo- dorous flood in the cellars.
 "Sir," reported Thomas, to the prin- cipal, "the rain has permeated the soil and has resuscitated all the drains to overfowing"

OFTEN BORDERS ON FREAK
Danger Of Dress Rebellion Lies In the Craving of Many for
 Originality.

Now and then one meets somebody
 who aims at originality in dress, and
 she makes no efforts to conceal her aim; she will tell you of new kind of blouse that she has originated of a new wrap that she has created, or of a style of hairdressing quite all her own. If she Is a particularly clever individual, doubtless she "gets away with most of her fads, and if her orig final tendencies are schooled by some degree of taste, she often succeeds in really establishing new fad. But 1t takes a professional to do that. At any rate there is surprising number of people who are not content with mere individuality in dress their chief aim and ambition is originality. That the product Is original cannot be dis puted it is so very original at times that 1t borders on the freak; and just herein lies the danger of dress re belHon The pity of 1t all is that the designer herself is the last to see the

BLOUSES FOR ALL
No Radical Style Change From
 Last Season.
Suit Shades Are Being Featured Ex. tensiveiy in the Showing of New FaIi BIouses-Open-Neek
 Is Favored.

Fall blouseS are very simple in cut, and there Is no radical style change from last season, with the exception of the smattering of high-neck models developed In tailored or military eff fects. Sleeves are almost uniformly full length and set In at the regular arm size.
 The tailored blouses referred to are developed very often in satin, some times in dark color, again in light, washable shades. Shirting silks and some linens are also similarly em- ployed.
 However, it seems almost safe to predict that most women will still cling to collarless CT open-neck blouses. They are unquestionably more com fortable for indoor wear, and, inas- much as neckwear departments al- ways show excellent collections of high stocks of lace, net, etc, if high neck is desired 1t may be arrived at without the effort of actually at taching q collar. In addition to this argument in favor of the collarless QiOuS Cnere IS tne IuFlileT oHe tlut coat nd suits fit high about the neck, so that the protection of the high collar blouse is never required.
 Suit shades are being featured ex- tensively in the showing of new fall blouses, and flesh or white georgette or blouses, and flesh or white georg- cite or satin is frequently combined very attractively with georgette in a suit shade, making a blouse that is more dressy and a. the same time more generally becoming than one that Is in an all-dark tone.
 A. blouse of this type Is shown In the sketch herewith. The blouse proper-that is, upper section and sleeves-is of fiesh-colored satin, while georgette in a suit shade is used as the combination fabric. If preferred, the two shades of georgette may be

Where Animal Loses Appetite It Must Not Be Assumed It Has
 Some Disease.

If work horse loses Its appetite, it must not be assumed that 1t has ac- quired some serious disease. It prob ably has been kept on a too steady diet of one kind of food. The diet must be changed, and if an improve ment is not noted quickly, 1t is evil dence that the animal needs both a purgative and tonic. A tablespoon full of aniseed in the feed is an excel lent tonic, as 1t sweetens the stomach and stimulates the appetite.

Ribbon Clasp for Lingerie.

Here is something that will interest all women.
 The ribbon lingerie clasps are even better than the gold or silver ones which we have been using.
 They are so simple-just little strips of quarter-inch wide ribbon, with a little snap fastener to clasp them over ones underwear at the shoulders.
 It takes from two and one-half to three inches to make each clasp. Three inches would be better as that allows the ends to be hemmed back far enough to make good founda. ton for the clasp, and 1t makes the finished clasp about one inch wide.
 Of course, the ribbon should be flrul and heavy in order to keep in shape.

KEEP WINTER APPLES

Winter apples may be kept in the storage room in the base ment of the house, in outdoor storage cellars, or in banks or pits. Conditions suitable for the keeping of potatoes answer fair ly we'll for apples. They demand cool temperatures; in fact, they may be kept near the freezing point, without injury.
 When stored in the basement of the house, they should be kept in barrels, boxes or crates, and placed near window. When stored in banks or pits, they should be handled in the same way as potatoes, but do not need to be covered quite as deeply as potatoes. It Is a good thing to store small quantities in the basement storage room, or in the storage cellar, and the main supply in outdoor banks or pits.
 For further discussion of the storage of apples, see Farmers Bulletins 852 and 879.

used. An all-satin blouse, combining two shades of satin, is not so effective as when a filmier fabric is used.
 Either bead, metal thread or silk en- broidery may be used as the purely decorative feature.
 To make this blouse one and quar- ter yards of fabric will be required for sleeves and upper part and half yard of contrasting material for col lar and lower section. Fabric in each case Is estimated on the basis of a 36-inch width.
