It was the one campaign wherein re-

each hen, when it is known that the
average yield should be from nine to

FOR AUTUMN WEAR.
Partisan Design That Is Smart
and Original.
Navy Blue Best Color That Could Be
Employed for Such Costume
Smart Velvet Toque.

It Is an accepted fact that the more
exclusive society leaders purchase
their autumn and winter trousseaux at
Biarritz at the end Of the summer sea-
son. Novelties are shown there, just
as they are shown at Monte Carlo in
early spring. It is "the thing to buy
dresses, nantes, and hats at Biarritz
because everyone does It."
This year the Biarritz dress artists,
such as Paquin, Cabot, Redfern, Larue
and SO on, are showing some really
startling models, writes Italia de VII
liers in the Boston Globe. The barrel
outline is very much in evidence; and
as to flounced skirts they may be said
to be ubiquitous. am very much
afraid that the barrel outline has came
with intention Of staying. It is not
really pretty, neither is it becoming to
the average woman, but certainly 1t Is
unusual.
Many of the more eccentric autumn
models are frankly stiffened; nearly
all are piped with strong horse hair
to give the desired stick-out effect. The
latter method applies especially to
tunic-coats and -blouses. Take for
example the Paquin model sketched.
Here you have a really beautiful au-
tumn costume which is smart and orig
inal without being eccentric. The ma
terial was navy blue poult de sole and
navy serge, the silken material form
ing a pannier-coat which was clever
ly stiffened at the hem.
This coat ran into long, wholly
unexpected peak at the back and on
the collar there was an immense silk
tassel, the same color as the dress.

Provide roosts and dropping boards.

Always handle ducks and geese by

An angry old goose will sometimes
strike with her wings hard enough to
break a mans arm, and care should be-
taken when handling geese.
Old fowls do not need much corn or
cornmeal during hot weather, but q
certain amount should be fed to make
