Hairdressing in China

4 monies, except that at a marriage
in addition to the others the barber
woman used string and picked or
!. all the short hair from the girl face
so that ,ske might look bright and
fresh. tAs was said, Hairy maiden
/ and fresh looking bride" All rela-
tiyes wore red velvet letters or
flowers in addition to their own
ornaments on these occasions.
The Manchus who occupied the
palace loved artificial flowers,
though they wore beautiful jewelry
100. The jewelry of this dynasty
was not as fancy and delicate as
those Of older days. There was not
much differences in jewelry of the
sexes, but in that of the old and
young and that worn in summer and
N winter. The old people wore
kind of pin called "ru ei" meaning
all pleases her. The younger peo-
Pile wore more kinds, all OF which
were used to make the hair stand.
4 On the Chinese summer equinox
all the people changed their gold or
pearl ornaments to those of jade or
white stone. At the festival of the
ninth month, the ornaments were
asehanged back again.
When a woman died \ barber
sgWoman was called who combed her
hair. The hair must be combed
!, three times and the comb broken,
Such ornaments were put on the
dead as pleased her family, but If
her people did not give her many
decorations, their neighbors would
say mean things about them. In
some rich families they put a great
many ornaments, on the dead which
usually gave rise to the trouble OF
grave robbing.
Now we come to the last period,
the republic. Though there have
been changes in the manner Of hair
Adressing; yet most women still fol-
low the old monarehial fashion.
Only few, who have been foreign
lied, have changed their style. The
adoption OF new style Of combing
the hair of Chinese women greatly
displeased the old people and even
many educated and returned stu
dents were disgusted; for those who
are able to manage their hair, made |
themselves more attractive and
stylish, while those who were not
able, cut horrible figures.
Hair was said % be one Of the
beauties of womankind. Especially
is this true in China, for it is re-
peated in poems and story books,
saying, that good hair assists one to |
gain half her beauty.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THOSE WHO
HATCH CHICKS ARTTFICIALLY

Inc thermometer is n very important
part of the incubator and more attention
should be paid to it. First, it should be
tested for accuracy. Take clinical or
some other correct thermometer and put
them both in warm water near 1903 degrees
for short time, stirring constantly, when
they should read alike. The operation
should be done quickly. Second, the
height of the thermometer in the incu-
bator is important. heat being applied
to the eggs from above. OF course, the
height of the thermometer determines the
temperature of the eggs which, in turn,
determines the Matching time of the eggs.
The thermometer, II in contact with eggs,
should be put on live egg and run at
102la the first week and 1903 until Matching
time. when it can so to 10f. If the Their
mometer hangs up and does not touch
eggs. it should be run at higher tenn
perature. depending on the distance it
is from the eggs.
Eggs should be turned twice daily as
near IL hours apart as possible They
should be tested twice, on the 18th and
14th days, the main object being to re-
move all dead eggs which would give
a false temperature to the thermometer
At Matching time it IS advisable to put
n curtain OF some SORT over the grass
doors, so that the chicks may hatch in
the dark-they are much more quiet,
stay where they are Matched and do not
crowd up against the door: and 1t is a
very good preventative of white diar-
rhoea, because they are unable to eat
filth. Another prevention is not to per-
nit chicks to drop down into the nursery
until all are Matched; then open the trap
door and let them all go down at once.
The fact of letting them drop as they
hatch is bad, because it is considerably
cooler in the nursery, and, not being
fully dried Off it is very apt to give them
this dread disese.
If you have had white diarrhoea in
your stock, do not breed from infected
BIRDS and If you want to take an added
precaution, give each chick one-half of
an ink dropper of warm sour milk as
you remove It from the incubator.

cubation and Brooding of your county
agent or the Agricultural Extension
Service of the University of Vermont
and State Agricultural College, Burling-
! ton, Vermont.
