HATCH CHICKENS EARLY.
Fresh Eggs VIII Be Scarce Next Fall
and Wister-Renedy Is In Hands
Of the Poultry Man.

Did IL ever occur TO you that nature |
requires her children to take an an
nual vacation? She does, and nowhere |
do human beings puzzle their brains
over this fact more than when the
hens begin their yearly holiday. This
vacation Is technically called the
"molting season" IL begins during
the late summer. The hens stop lay
ing, and change their suits OF feathers
for new ones. Usually they consume
three or four months in the process
Most OF us know this perfectly well.
but are apt to overlook the fact that
very important feature OF the mott
| ing period Is that egg laying stops.
We are unreasonable and expect the
hens to lay all the time. When the
hens take this vacation new-laid fresh
eggs are scarce and remain scarce
until the pullets Matched during the
preceding spring begin to lay.
! The Remedy.
The remedy Is very simple, and Is
under the control OF the poultry man
The first step is to have chickens
Matched early, so that the pullets be-
gin to lay when the hens begin to
mott. This is not dificult. Pullets OF
, the American breeds begin laying at
, about z months OF age. Leghorn pull

Two Chic Black Frocks.

Very new is frock Of fine black silk
twill, with a gilet of yellow muslin
edged all about with fiuted muslin ruff
tles and girdled with black silk. A
passing breeze visibly stirs the fluted
yellow ruffles on the edge of a scanty
yellow muslin petticoat, which was
never meant, one feels sure, to be en-
tirely hidden by the outer skirt of
black, says Vogue.
A black silk frock, very straight and
slim, is encircled with narrow belt of
gray pique. A narrow band of gray
pique finishes the lower edge of the
skirt and gray pique collar crosses
the shoulders in the back; this ar
rangement allows but very little of the
collar to be visible, in front. A tri-
angular patch pocket is placed on each
side of the skirt, and the top of the
pocket stands out, cuplike, from the
skirt. The inverted apex of the gray
triangle is weighted with a, gray tas-
sci. This model is also very pretty in
black liberty satin with blue or be-
gonia red organdie SUBSTITUTED for the
gray pique.

Substitute for Conner

the use of soft steel and iron as
q partial substitute for copper in the
manufacture Of decorative metals is
being experimental with In the depart
ment of manual arts at the University
of Wisconsin.
For years it has been traditional for
decorative metal products to be made
wholly or in large part of copper, brass
or some other alloy of copper. The
price of copper is now so high, more
than 80 cents a pound. that a substi-
tute is needed In decorative metal.
The kind of steel and iron required
in this kind of work costs at present
Ia cents pound. In many respects
this steel IS as good, If not better, than
copper. 1t works easily, wears as
well, is not discolored or oxidized as
quickly, and for many uses Is even
stronger than copper. 1t lacks the
red-gold luster, but can be given a
silver-hued FURNISH, or can be decorat-
ed with paints.-University of Wiscon-

GUS and behaving in a very strange
manner.
where is the missing Cow?, asked
the Farmer.
"Come with me-" Rowdy's eyes
seemed to say.
So off went the Farmer with Rowdy.
Lead the way, Rowdy," he said. And
Rowdy led him back up the hill.
Still the Farmer didn't see the miss
ing Cow.
Where is she?" he asked Rowdy.
Rowdy's only answer was to walk
straight on--a little ahead of the
Farmer.
Just at the end of the Pasture were
some woods, and sitting down by the
side of tree was the Cow. She was
moaning and trying to lick her foot.
Then the Farmer knew why Rowdy
had left the Cow behind and had not
made her try to limp On with the 9TH
ers.

rid thorn in your foot"
Moo, moo" said the Cow. And
Rowdy went shifting around to explain
to the Farmer that the Cow needed
help.
Il understand, Rowdy, my boy" said
the Farmer, and then Rowdy sat down
and watched.
The Farmer took the Cows foot and
gently, ever SO gently, he pulled the
horrid thorn out. 1t had stuck quite
far in, and oh, how it had hurt the

Farmer. Cup you get"
The Cow got up rather slowly. Then
she stepped on the foot, which already
felt so differently And to her delight
she found her foot was all, all well.
"Come along" barked Rowdy. And
the Cow ran as fast as her great, big
body would let her, after ROwdy.
The Farmer followed along, saying
GOOD Rowdy, my fine Rowdy."
And Rowdy understood and was
glad in his dog way he could help the
Farmer and his Animals.

YOUNG GIRLS DAY
Leading DresSmakers Devoting
Much Attention to Her Needs.
New Three-Piece Costume of Navy
Blue Serge and FouIard Has an
Eininentiy Youthful Air.

The leading dressmakers and tailors
are deVoting great deal of attention
TO the special needs of young girls, and
very specially the girls of America.
The day of the young married woman
is ciouded over; it is the ''jeune file
who now carries all before her, writes
ldalia de Villiers, Paris correspondent.
The sketch shows very charming
girls costume recently designed in
Paris. The novel three-piece costume
of navy blue serge and foulard is a
poucet model. The serge skirt falls,
as YOU can see, in long straight lines
ane though it is slightly full it is new
eltheless very much narrower at the
hem than the skirts of a few months
ago.
Then the smart little coatee, made
of cherry-red foulard spotted with
blue, is it not delightful? SO cool and
so eminently youthful. with its practi-
cal side pockets and loose, open col
lar. The mixture of fiHe serge and
foulard Is finding great favor with our
Partisan elegantes. All the new serge
materials are supple as silk cashmere
and they give splendid wear And the
newest fOulards have something of a
serge surface, while retaining all the
charm of soft silk.
The Doucet model might be copied in
any color. For example, it would be
very uncommon and attractive in fine
black serge-this for the skirt-and
white foulard spotted with black for

MANY HATS OF WASH FABRICS
to Such Materials as Linen,
Satin and Crepe.

Hats of all kinds are fascinating
this summer. Big and little, dressy
and informal. they seem to have re-
ceived especially delightful treatment,
and it is a homely woman who cannot
this season find hat in which she
will look well.
One of the most interesting groups
in the general melange of charming
things is that of the fabric hats To
be sure we've always had them-hats
of linen, hats of satin, hats of crepe,
ETC.. but we've never had such wealth
of them and surely never were they as
whole so delectable. And then
we've never made such a feature of
wash fabrics in hatdom, writes fash
ion authority.
One is even safe in saying that the
millinerS are using wash fabrics this
season that have not before been used
for grownups. There are those plaid
Bingham hats, for example. When
have we seen their like before? And
yet now that we have them we won
der that the milliners, resourceful be-
ings that they are, are so late in think
ing of them.

MASSAGE WILL SAVE HAIR
Careful Manipulation of the Scalp Pre-
vents More Than an Undue amount
From Coming Out

Do not be alarmed about your hair
falling out, for massage will tend to
prevent more than an undue amount
coming out. 1t is only natural that the
dead hair should fall out TO give place
for strong, new hair TO come in. 1t is
a simple and easy matter to massage
the scalp and il works wonders In pro-
noting hair health and vigor, and it
should always be employed in applying
a tonic TO make it more effective.
Comb the hair free of tangles and
place the finger tips of each hand on
the sides of the head right above the
ears. Move the scalp in an upward
and forward direction by pressing with
the finger tips, using small circular
movements. Gradually let the fingers
ascend in this way until they meet on
the crown. Work lightly on the sur
face and then deeper to move scalp
and make it flexible. Manipulate the
entire surface of the scalp with the
finger rps in this manner, not rubbing

KILL GREEN CABBAGE WORMS
White Butterflies-AIso Spray
With Paris Green.

Give children a few cents to make
nets of mosquito bar and catch the
white butterflies fitting over your cab
bage and cauliHower fields, since the
female moths deposit the eggs from
which the cabbage work comes. Chill
dren might well be paid, also, for pick
ing off the green worms before they
have done much injury.
Spraying with paris green is quite
commonly practiced, and cabbage will
stand strong application. A mar
ket gardener of our acquaintance uses
a spray as strong as five pounds of
paris green in a 50-gallon barrel of wa
ter Cabbage may be sprayed up to
within week or so of being gathered,
when necessary, without any damage
whatever, or any danger.

[A|RY TALE
THE DOG AND cows.
81 hAQY GpAYAl1

'Bov-wow, bow-wow," said Rowdy,
the sheep dog.
Now the sheep knew perfectly well
that they mustn't wander eff into the
road, but must go back to their pas
ture,. for Rowdy would chase them
back if they didn't go, and when he
chased them he got so excited that he
frightened them quite little bit.
So back they hurried, and Rowdy
went 10 sleep by the farmhouse. Pref
ty soon he stretched, yawned and got
up. ITS milking time" he said to
himself.
He went over toward the Farmer,
who was working in the barn. He
rubbed his cold nose against the Farm
ers hand and tried to say:
Master, it's milking time" The
Farmer was quite busy and at first he
barely noticed the dog except to give
him pat.
But Rowdy kept on nudging and rub
bling up against the Farmer. It's
milking time" he was trying to say as
hard as he could.
Finally the Farmer understood. "Oh,
yes, Rowdy! You always remember.
How stupid of me to have forgotten.
Right, ROwdy The Cows % For when
ever he said that, then Rowdy knew it
was time for him TO bring in the cows.
Although Rowdy would remind the
Farmer of the time, he would never
have gone for the Cows until the
Farmer told him to go.
Off went Rowdy with a gallop Up
the side of hill, where all the Cows
were eating nice long grass, he bound
ed, and then he began hurrying them
along for the barn.
''BOw-wow, bow-wow; milking time,
Cows" his barks meant, and the Cows
understood. for off they went down the
hill.
Straight into the barn where their
stalls were Rowdy took them. Then,
when they We're all ready to be MIXED,
he went outside the barn and lay in
some long grass there. A nice little
sleep he had. And just as the very
last Cow was being MIXED up he
jumped. For it was time to take them
back again.
Up the hill once more he led them.
Nobody had TO go along to see if he
got them all back safely, for Rowdy
did his work thoroughly.
When he came back to the farm
house there was his bowl of fresh milk
awaiting him.
And every morning and every after
noon Rowdy brought the Cows down
from the Pasture and back again he
led them.
One day, when Rowdy came down
to the barn, one of the Cows seemed to

FEED cows BEFORE CALvING
This Preparation Has Much TO Do
With Amount of Milk and Butter
fat Cow Produces.

The proper time TO begin feeding a
dairy COW is six or eight weeks before
calving, and practical dairymen agree
that this preparation has more to do
with the amount of milk and butter
fat which a cow produces during the
lactation period than does the feeding
during any other period
For cows calving during the sum-
mer or early fall most dairymen like
to have a small pasture away from
the herd, but with an abundance of
grass. and, in addition, they like to
feed suitable grain mixture. Corn
silage with clover or alfalfa hay and
limited grain ration of three parts
ground oats, two parts of bran and
one part of oil meal is especially good
for cows calving during winter or early
spring After calving the cows should
be brought slowly up to full feed and
thereby steadily to higher produc-
ton.

TEST SEED FOR TERMINATION
Proper Rate of Seeding Can Be De.
termined by Use of Wet Paper and
Two Dinner Plates.

Most of the commoner seeds. in
Guiding the cereals, clover and alfalfa,
may be tested for termination easily
and quickly on the farm. Take fair
sample of the seed to be planted and
count 100 seeds. Fold a newspaper
so there will be dozen thicknesses,
six by twelve inches; soak it in water,
squeeze out so it will not drip and lay
on dinner plate. Place the seeds on
the paper so they will not touch each
other and fold the wet paper over the
top to cover them. Turn another din
ner plate over this and keep at room
temperature for four or five days.
Examine the seeds and count out
those which have terminated. and if
there are still seeds which have neither
terminated nor decayed, wet the paper
again if necessary and set away for
two or three days more, and again
count those which have terminated.
This shows the proportion OF live seed
and the proper rate of seeding is de-
termined accordingly.
