To Keep the
Moths Away
Suggestions by State Leader Of
Home Demonstration Agents

All clothes should be taken care of
systematically, as their period of en-
durnnce depends entirely on how they
are treated. Simple garments require
less care than elaborate ones. Wooden
clothes, suits, coats. dresses and skirts
should be brushed regularly. Proper
hangers should be obtained for all out
side garments so that they will re-
tain their shape, and they should be
hung away from dust when not In use.
Moths have special liking for wool,
and wooden clothes should be carefully
guarded during the spring and sum-
mer. Eternal vigilance is really the
only successful method of protecting
wooden garments from moths. IT the
garments are used from time to time
and must hang in closet or wardrobe.
they will be kept in good condition II
the following suggestions, prepared by
Miss Leila Gaddis Of Purdue univer-
sity, state leader of home demonstra-
ton agents, are carried out:
1. Keep the closet or wardrobe
clean.
9. II possible, have a window in the
closet.
3. Brush clothes thoroughly at regu-
lar intervals.
4 Turn pockets wrong side out and
brush.
3. Turn cuffs down and brush.
6. Brush under lapels, plaits and the
top of hem.
Every one knows how much dust
collects in crevices of clothing. If this
dust Is not allowed to remain, moths
will not have satisfactory lodglhs
place.

OF Interest TO
POULTRY GROWERS

1t is especially important that sur
plus cockerels be utilized as capons
to increase the meat supply. Capons.
or male birds whose reproductive or
Eans have been removed, increase In
weight and their meat is of good quail
ity.
To determine the best time to capon-
ize one should be guided by the age
and size of the bird. A cOckerel two
to four months Of age and weighing
one and a half to two and a half
pounds is convenicnt-sized bird with
which to work.
There are three essentials to good
results in caponizing. First, the bird
should not be fed for 36 hours prior
to the operation so that the intestines
will be empty and the reproductive
organs exposed; second, the operation
should be performed in strong light
in order that the organs may be
clearly distinguished; third, one should
have a good set Of tools.
The skilled operator can caponize
n bird in short time. Birds which
have been operated on should be
I placed in a house from which the
roosts have been removed. Give
caponized birds soft feed for ten
days after the operation, after which
they may be placed on a scratch food
ration. The wet feed may consist of
two pounds corn meal, one pound OF
bran and one pound Of middlings
mixed with skimmilk or buttermilk.
The first two weeks capons should
be examined for "windpuffs." These
can be easily relieved by pricking the
skin with a needle or knife. Two or
three weeks prior to marketing, con-
fine and fatten capons in crates. Ev-
cry ounce of gain ut this time adds
to the appearance of aud the profits
from the bird.

Grizzly Bear Never Eats
Human Flesh; Not Ferocious
flights When Necessary

The grizzly bear has been known to
the white race little more than
century. Lewis and Clark wrote tho
first official accounts of him in 1905.
and he was first discussed publicly In
1914 by Gov. De Witt Clinton in New
York city. Guthrie's old geography
says that he was named Ursus hor-
ribilus by Naturalist George Ord in
1915. Fossil records indicate that the
grizzly is of Asiatic origin. He appears
to have come into America about
million years ago over one of the pre-
historic land bridges that united
Alaska and Asia. Bears and dogs are
descendants from the same parent
stock. The grizzly bear never eats hui
man flesh, is not ferocious and fights
only in self-defense. He leads an ad-
venturous life, is born explorer and
ever has good wilderness manners
never makes attacks. The numerous
cases in which the grizzly has been
made pet and companion of man,
where he was thoughtfully, intelli-
gently raised, show him to be SUI
perfor animal, digniffed, intelligent.
loyal and uniformly good-tempered.
Not a grizzly exists in any Of the
four national parks of California, and
that animal, once so celebrated in that
state, is extinct there. He is also ex-
tfnct over the greater portion of the
vast territory which he formerly oe-
cupied, and is verging OH extermina.

Suggestions to Those Who
Contemplate Having Their
Photographer Make Picture

There is more in getting photo
graph than simply going to photog-
rapher. He must know his business
and you must know yours, otherwise
the result will be likeness that Is
neither flattering nor truthful.
If you are short and stout, advises
an authority, don't ask the poor artist
to make a picture Of you full length.
He will if you insist, but he knows he
is doing great wrong thereby. Moth
ing is so graceful and pleasing In
picture of stout lady as sitting at
half-length, the figure so turned as to
hide the stoutness.
Again, if you are slim and angular,
do not for an instant forget that full
length figure will make you appear
more slim and angular. Then the
pretty bust picture is your only hope,
and YOU should insist on having none
other.
If a gentleman has very long neck
no matter how nicely he looks in q
high collar-his picture. If taken In
such high affair, would look gro
tesque. A short neck and high collar,
and long neck and low turned-dOwn
collar, by all means. No loud stripes,
no great checks, no striking figures
should be worn in a photograph.
One thing bear in mind when you
visit the studio-bring along your
home expression. Don't spend two
days before you come to the studio
practiclng poses and different express
sions before your mirror, and, lastly.
give the photographer the benefit OF
exercising his artistic and professional
ability.
