Many public parks, golf courses, and

for grazing sheep would have not only

Millions of eggs produced in this

they are carelessly handled. poorly

cases, badly stored in freight cars, or
allowed to become warm on their jour
ney from the hens nest to the home.

food and loss of profits. Take every

MUScADINE GRAPES

At present, when food con-
servatiOn and food economy are
being SO much emphasized, the
home utilization OF Muscadine
grapes is particularly appropri-
ate.
In the past, instead OF being
utilized the surplus fruit has
been allowed to go to waste.
chiefly because of a general
lack of knowledge OF ways to
use it and because the high
quality and cheapness OF the
products have not been realized.

Turkevs as Side Line.

Turkey raising, as ordinarily en-

are favorably situated for raising tur-
keys, a more profitable side line can
hardly be found. Plenty OF range Is
essential to success.

as the meat breeds, yet combine in
one individual fowl very good laying
capacity with very good table quality.
The Leghorn, Minorca, A%ndalusian,
Ancona and Campine are wcll-known
breeds Of the laying class F; the Brahma,
Dorking and Cornish of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte.
Rhode Island Red and Orpington OF
the general-purp0se class.
The breeds mentioned as of the lay.
ing class, with the exception Of the
Minorca, are relatively small, very
energetic and lively, mature early, and
are easily kept in good laying condi.
ton. The Minorca is Of larger size
II modified somewhat in the other
particulars mentioned, yet has more
the character of the laying class than
of any other.
In the meat breeds, there is not the
same uniformity of type that is found
in the laying breeds. The three mem
toned differ decidedly. The Brahma
is most popular because it is at the
same time the largest and the most
rugged in constitution. The Dorking
excels In quality of meat, but is gen.
orally considered somewhat lacking in
hardness. The Cornish is rather
hard-meated, but, being very Short
%feathercd, has it's special place as a
large meat-producing fowl in Souther-
ly sections where the more heavily
%feathered Brahma does not stand the
summer well.
Among the popular breeds Of the
general-purpose class there are also
differences in type, adapting breeds to
different uses. The Plymouth Rock
is generally regarded as the type meet
ing the widest range of requirements
in the general-purpose class.
The Wyandotte is a little smaller
and earlier maturing, but still very
we'll meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearly
the same standards of weight as the
Wyandotte, but is q more active bird,
not putting on fat so readily. Conse-
quently it approaches the laying type
and is popular with those who want
eggs and meat but want eggs most.
The Orpington is at the other x
IRENE in the gencral-purpose class be-
ing a heavier, meatier fowl than the
Plymouth Rock.
Such q list of breeds affords so wide
q range Of choice that poultry keep
ers a always select a standard breed
better adapted to their locality and
their purpose than any nonstandard
stock they can procure and having
the further advantage Of producing
true to type.

WOMEN
BUY NEW CLOTHES

New York.-A wounded Amaze had
come to America to lecture. He bore
some honorable scars on his body,
which were %symbolized by stripes on
his arm. A woman touched the stripes
and asked what were his worst wounds.
He described one, which was a clean
hole made by a bullet. In his informal
Anzac manner, he asked if she would
like to e it. She would. So would
everyone else at the luncheon. So he
showed her the bullet hole below the
collar bone.
"How very disappointing" she ex-
claimed. II expected a great cash."
The Amaze buttoned his collar
thoughtfully, and turning to the table
said: "Now, 1 ask you, what are we
going to do, with women if they begin
to expect so much of men in this warp
And what will they do with them?
Men have begun to expect so much Of
themselves, that the situation is the
most vitality interesting thing on this
planet, next to the war, observes a dis
tinguished fashion writer.
Women are gaining so much more by
this war than they ever demanded, that
many are puzzled and some are near
hysterical.
Once we were q contented race; then
we became an unquiet sex; then we
became q restless force; and then we
became a militant power.
Those with the keenest visions saw
ahead Of them a long struggle. They
outlined the propaganda Of self-educa-
ton for women; they lectured to men
and of men concerning what we should
have in the way of industry and COM
mercial opportunity. Whenever men
said that we We're not sufficiently edu-
Gated to take over the commercial bur-
dens of the world, we retorted that we
would never be educated if we did not
begin to study.
Women Spend More Money.
OF n thing the prophets are sure
that women, making money, will spend
more. Not having to ask for it, they
will cease to be p%etulant about it.
When a woman knows there are three
thousand jobs open to her and that
she can command as good q salary as
the man she sent to war, she is not
going to be niggardly about getting
new clothes, enjoying herself and re
furnishing her house.
Human nature eve changes, nc
matter what else changes on this plan
ct, and spending will be a woman's an
tidote to hard work. If she has beer
repressed in the matter of buying at
tractive things for the house or fol
her body, she will go out and gorge her
self on those things when the first free
dom from debt gives her q buoyan'
feeling of happiness.

should always have been attended t,

activity is being directed to it's RICH
