WHEN GOWNS ARE REMoDELED.

A special dispensation from the god
dess of fashion, in the interest of thrift.
ty women, lies in the present vogue for
two or more fabrics in one gown. In
all the array of pretty frocks for after
noon wear-or any other dressy wear,
for that matter-there are hardly any
that are fashioned Of just one mate
rial. If the mission of a gown is full
filed by merely looking well, it is made
Of two or more materials, or of two
patterns in one material.
Thrift is q mark of good breeding
in these times. Now, when the re-
sources of this country are about to be
put to the test, women must be willing
to do with less so that others, who
need, may have more.
But 1t is no great hardship to do
without new frOck if an old one can
be remodeled into a thing of beauty.
The gown shown in the picture offers
good suggestion for remodeling be-
cause the overbodice and sleeves are
made of georgette crepe, and worn
with silk skirt and underbodice. This
overbodice bears all the evidences of
being strictly up-to-date with it's wide
tucks, long sleeves and its big cape
collar Of white crepe. A small triangle
of white crepe is set in the sleeves at
the wrist.
A new bodice of this kind simply eff
faces the memory of the dress it used
to be and makes this into a dress of
today. A new finishing touch appears
in the neck ribbon and tassel which
add the final charm to a frock that
can't help proving a satisfaction to its
wearer. There are so many possibili-

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD

Nearly every winter there are a
large number of farmers and stock
men who become convinced that the
profitable raising of swine requires a
well designed and carefully construct
ed winter hog house. The spring fol-
lowing hard winter finds these men
planning for the construction of such
building, which they erect during
the warm weather in readiness for the
next winter.
Fall pigs must be carried through
the winter to get the money value out
of them. A few pigs may be left to
root around the straw stacks, but rails
ing good hogs to make money requires
careful planning to breed two litters
year, at the right time to fit in with
the seasons.
The breeding plan on most well-con-
Quoted stock farms divides the farrew-
ing between April for spring pigs, and
October for winter pigs. October far
rowing gets young pigs along to the
shoat age during the early part of the
winter. Just when they should be
growing their best is when the ex.
| tremely cold weather is coming on and
a good house is necessary to induce
them to make proper gains in weight
With a well designed and carefully
| built house, any farmer can raise pure
bred stock and sell the best animals al
high prices. Hogs for fattening should
be made to weigh from 190 to 20(
pounds when they are eight months
old. This is generally the most prof
table age and weight and it is the

"Roperite" Strange Animal.

Much of this country is still COW
cred by forests which, according to
the best-informed lumbermen, harbor
strange and dangerous animals un-
known to science. One of the most re-
markable of these, says William T.
Cox, state forester of Minnesota, is the
'roperite," which carries on the end of
its nose sort of running moose. In
fact, this prolongation of it's snout
takes the form of lasso, with which
the creature captures jackrabbits and
other prey, pursuing the latter with
enormous leaps and bounds, and ut
tering the while ferocious yells that
can be heard for miles. Even human
beings are not safe from attack by the
''roperite." Stories are told of men,
and even women, pursued by, this ex-
traordinary animal, shared with its
ropelike proboscis, and dragged to
death.

bed on the sleeping porch too, for the
doctor said the air would make him
well and strong so much more quickly.
"'Twit-twit,' chirped the little bird.
Hello said Peter,
1.-THE little bird cooked his head on
one side as If to say he wasn't at all
sure what Hello meant, but he
thought it sounded rather nice. So
he burst into a song. Such a glorious
songl How Peter loved it. He smiled
and he even laughed at the little bird
who seemed to sing as if he would
burst his tiny throat.
"'What beautiful voice. said Pc
ter.
"'Twit, twit,' answered the little
bird. 'Chirp, chirp, tweet,' which was
his way of saying he was so glad Pc
ter liked 1t.
"Then the little bird looked about
him for crumbs or something to eat.
He moved his beak and tried to pick
up things he thought he saw. They
did not turn out to be good at all.
Mother called Peter, may have
some crumbs for this little bird? He
has sung for me and has been here to
call on me-
"Peter's mother came rushing out
with bowl of bread crumbs and then
| she brought out some clear, cool wa
ter. The little bird looked so grateful
and pleased, and he went off singing

short to Peter, and that afternoon the
doctor said that Peter seemed very
much better. The next, day sever
birds came and sang and had deli
cious repast. And the following day
a flock Of birds came-al of many
colors and they all had lovely voices
Peter grew steadily better.
"Spring was just about to arrive
when Peter suddenly thought that the
birds would leave him. Sure enough
they began to grow fewer and fewer
but his first little friend was the las
to leave.
"tOh,' said Peter, you've made m'
well. How I hate to see you CO. Pete
was walking around now, but he al
ways spent his mornings in the sleep
ing porch where the birds came. Ant
Peter waved a beautiful blue sill
handkerchief he had. 'Good-by little
bird friend he called.
'But that afternoon when the docto
came he told Peters mother that Pete
was well enough to go back home. 81
Peter went back with his friends, 'Th,
Doctor Birds as he called them."

floors which may be moved about for
cleaning. These floors are about half
the size of the pens. There should be
a ridge around the edge of each floor
to hold the bedding.
The upper windows are pivoted so
any number of them may be pulled
open for ventilation. With five shoats
in each pen, the house will be warm
enough to have some of the windows
open most of the time. Of course,
hogs need ventilation just as much as
any other animal in order that they
may maintain their good health.
The pens are divided with solidly
constructed fencing, space between
boards being sufficient to allow a free
circulation of air. Strong gates with
sliding bolt locks are placed at the
corner of each pen next to the central
passage. The remainder of the front
of each pen is taken up with the
trough, above which a swinging gate
Is hinged to swing into the pen, a slid
ing rod stop being dropped down
against the inside edge of the trough
to hold the gate open while the trough
is being filed. The same slide rod
locks the gate shut when it is dropped
down against the outside edge of the
trough.

vet rigid manner. The roof is sup

age and weight wanted by the pack
each pig must gain nearly a pound per
day from birth to market time. This
is very profitable average gain for
the hogs to make and it is reasonable
to expect such gain when well-bred
hogs are well fed and properly cared
for in every way.
In the accompanying plan it will be
noticed that the pens are small. In
practice it has been found better not
to nest more than five or six pigs to-
gether. They are better in small lots
even if the pens are made quite small
When a house is narrow and built
with q double set of windows, it is
easier to get the sun into every part
Of the house than it is when the house
is wider. The length, of course, makes
no difference in this respect.
The foundation of the building is
concrete and a concrete floor is spread
over the entire surface with proper
cutters formed along the length of the
building on each side of the central
passage. Troughs shown on the plar
may also be built of concrete, the
forms required for their construction
being exceedingly simple. A concrete
floor in a hoghouse is almost an abso
lutte necessity, but it is too cold fol
hogs to sleep on. For this reason, the
nests are placed on loose, wooder

an accessory whose only mission in
life is being good to look at. 1t takes
good grade of net, good lace and
good work to make a successful jabot,
that is, one that will stand laundering.
For the jabot is nothing if not imma-
culate as to freshness and daintiness.
Net and net combined with lace
make the three pretty examples of the
jabot shown in the picture. One con-
soling thing about them is that they
are very easy to make and just as
easy to keep clean. The jabot at the
left may be made of square Of net,
with one corner cut off and gathered
into the stock, which is straight band
Of the net. Filet lace is used for edg-
ing the jabot and for the narrow turn
| over on the stock and hemstitching
| finishes its lower edge.
A wider silk filet, set to long piece
| of net on the ends and one edge,
makes the center jabot with a stock
of the same lace and net. Lace is left
out of the tailored jabot at the right
and tucks, with hemstitching, make its
] elegant decoration.

Animals in Fire.

Most animals are afraid of fire, and
will fly from it in terror. To others
there Is a fascination about a fame
and they will walk into it, even though
tortured by the heat.
A horse in burning stable goes
mad with fear, but dog is as cool in as
fire as at any time. He keeps his nose
down to the floor, where the air is pur-
est, and sets himself calmly to finding!
his way out. Cats in fire cry piteously.
They hide their faces from the light
and crouch in corners. When their
rescuer lifts them they are as a rule
quite docile and subdued, never biting
or scratching.
Birds seem to be hypnotized by fire.
and keep perfectly still; even the To-
quacious parrot in a fire has nothing
to say. Cows, like dogs, do not show,
alarm. They are easy to lead forth,
and often find their way out them
selves.

ties in the remodeling of gowns by
combining materials that the amateur
is apt to try little original designing.
But safety lies in copying the models
In afternoon frocks turned out by ex-
pert designers, when gowns are to be
remodeled.
Everything else in neckwear is
more or less eclipsed by the vogue of
the jabot which amounts, just now, to
a furore. Snowy heaps Of net and lace,
fashioned into every variety of jabot,
happen in all parts Of the dry goods
stores, and each is q center of attrac-
ton for a crowd of absorbingly inter-
ested women, otherwise the regular
neckwear section would be overwhelm-
ed. 1t doesn't take any salesmanship
to sell jabOts, they sell themselves, and
all the merchant has to do is to take
the money-and keep up the supply.
This pretty madness on the part of
women promises to outlast the sum-
mer and the jabot is so altogether clas-
sy and pretty that it should have a
long popularity. With this in mind
we can be reconciled to the rather ex-
travagant prices that are asked for

by two inside bents which define the
central passage. The extension of one
of these bents forms the wall in which
the pivoted windows are framed.
vertical post is set at the inner corners
Of each pen. The plate surmounting
these posts supports the rafters. Lat
eral bracing is spiked to the posts and
to the outer wall studs and also to the
two rows of posts Immediately beneath
the plate below the pivoted windows.
The foundation under the two rows OF
posts is not continuous, but consists
of concrete pier carried down to a
solid footing under each of the posts.
These piers are placed at the time of
building the floor. One very good
method consists in embedding metal
sockets of suitable size in the soft
concrete above the piers in the exact
location Of the posts which will then
be held firmly in place in the finished
building.
The floor plan illustration also pre-
sents a suggestion for the fencing and
open pens which might be used in
connection with this building. The
open pens are formed between the
south side of the building and the
main inclosing fence, which is IL feet
from the building on this side. Nov
| able fences are set up to divide of
the pens. On the opposite side OF
| the building the inclosing fence is built
close to the wall to form a runway
near the center of which it is intend
ed that a dipping vat be constructed
This Illustration also shows a feeC
and litter track installation. The tracl
is continuous through the building anC
out at each end, across the inclosurt
to the gates in line with the end door'
of the building.

"a little boy named Peter" said
Daddy, chad been very i'll. His mother
and daddy had been so worried about
him that they had decided he needed
change of air. So his mother had
taken him down South, far, far from
his home.
GAIL Peter could do was to lie in the
warm sunshine and think. Sometimes
he would doze off but his dreams
would be troubled and not so very
pleasant because he was ill and he
wasn't resting a good healthy rest.
"Poor Peter! How long the days
did seem sometimes. Often he would
ask his mother the time, and he would
be so surprised to hear that the morn
ing had not half gone. And often,
how he would long for school-in fact
every day he longed for it, and Satur-
day he wished for his playmates and
the games they would have after the
errands had been done.
"School would have been the most
glorious thing in the world compared
to being i'll, he had thought so often.
In fact he thought so most of the
time. He did not think he would ever
again mind doing his lessons, because
there was so much else that was won
derful about school. There were all
his friends, all his playmates. What
good times they all had had.
'Peter would think of the games
they would be playing at just such a
time-and oh how much longer the
afternoons seemed than the mornings.
"And when he would raise his legs
and try to imagine he was back with
the boys, ready for races, sports and
pranks. But his legs felt so weak
His head got so tired. How wretched
it was to be i'll.
''The doctor had told his mother
that half the reason he took so long
to get well was because he was so un.
happy.

something said the doctor. He would
then get well twice as quickly. Doesn't
