Russian armies may not fight after
they have involved the entire French
people III a quarrel that was not their
own
Russia is on the French tongue even
more than America, and that is say
ing much 1t is natural, therefore, that
these two countries should supply to
the French designers much inspiration
for the autumn costumery that we are
now getting in every shop window
along the thoroughfares
There is nothing especially new
that France is showing us which has
been inspired by Russia, but the sig
nliicant fact is that the COssack and
MuScovite oostumcry will remain with
us. The best OF It, that is, the newest
part of 1t has changed its lines. The
exceedingly narrow skirt is an accept
ed fact, and the high boot, although it
may not be on the straight leg line
OF the Russian footwear, is still to bc
an important adjunct to the short skirt
The Russian blouse will be attenu-
ated in its iuncS in the majority Of
models, but now and then there come,
out an old Russian coat, such as the
one shown in the sketch, which has the
oldtme fulnesS at the hem slightly

Fresh clean water is kept before the

inch long (high) and one-half inch
wide. The can is filed and inverted
in a common earthen fiower-pot sau-
Ger (open end downward), making an
automatic fountain which is raised one

FATAL DISEASE OF TURKEYS

Some authorities claim that over

fatal disease Of blackhead, and when
poults are crowded in their feeding
liver soon enlarges, becomes diseased
and death is the only result.
Various other sources are given as
the causes of the blackhead in tur-

free from wet and dampness, and fed
carefully so as not to weaken or strain

CHICKS ON A GRAIN RATION
Superior Method for Forcing Growth
and Maturity Of CockereIs-
Mixture for Mash.

Chicks do well on a grain ration,
but they do great deal better when
once they are started on a wet-mash
ration and are fed alternately two
feeds of wet mash per day with three
feeds of grain, the latter being given
morning, noon and night and the wet
mash being given about ten in the
morning and three in the afternoon.
For forcing growth and maturing
the cockerels for market as quickly
as possible such a method of feeding
is far superior to the ordinary straight
grain ration method. The following
mixture makes q very palatable mash:
Equal parts by weight of cornmeal,
bran, middlings, corn gluten feed and
commercial meat scrap.
