BEST FOOD TO FATTEM FOWL
Whether Young or Old Mixed Grains
Are Better Than Any One Variety
Milk Is ReIished.

Mixed grains are better for fatten-
ing fowl, whether old or young than
any one variety alone. Oats and corn,
ground, are perhaps the most fatten-
Ing. Buckwheat and ordinary wheat
are good food and add variety to the
rations but they are not so fattening.
Chickens get tired of one kind of feed,
the same as people do, but they thrive
on mixed feed. Skim milk is one Of
the best articles Of diet that can be
put on the fowls bill of fare. 1t is
relished, it is healthful, it is nourish-
ing and 1t greatly improves the color,
flavor and texture of the dressed
meat. Among the most rapid gamers
for killing purposes are the barred
Plymouth Rocks, the Rhode Island
Reds and the Wyandottes. Fed on
the above rations any of them can be
made to gain from pound to a pound
and half in three weeks, possibly
less. This Is profitable feeding.

Two sweaters-as far separated
from one another in style as the North
is from the South-are presented for
the consideration of the sportswoman
in the picture above. Each is represent
ative of type; the first, at the right
of the two being an example of styles
used where the sweater is called up
on to give actual warmth and free
dom of movement. 1t is a close-knit,
Snug-titting garment of WOOL machine
made, with cap to match, and is one
of several varieties that the outdoor
girl and the sportswOman find indis-
pensable. This model is in one color,
has patch pockets and a wide turn
over cOllar-with knitted band to hold
it close up about the neck. This is its
novel feature and speaks for itself,
for it assures comfort in the face of
icy winds. The cap is in two colors.
Sweater coats of brushed wool are
much like this model except that they
are loose and belted. Usually collar,
cuffs and pockets are bordered with a
band in contrasting color. Vivid and
high colors are well represented, but
do not predominant in the new sweat
ers; turquoise, rose and purple with
orange appear among them. The
brushed wool sweater coats are very
warm looking.
A rival of the sweater has arrived
in the very wide scarfs, usually in two,
color combinations, having pockets in
the fringed ends and belts to match
There is as great a variety in these
as in sweaters, suited to as many pur,

DON'T WHIP! :
Stop Lashing Your Bowels
with Harsh Cathartics but
take "Cascarets."

Everyone must occasionally give the
bowels some regular help or else suf-
fer from constipation, bilious attacks,
stomach disorders, and sick headache.
But do not whip the bowels into &C.
tivity with harsh cathartics.
What the liver and bowels need is a
gentle and natural tonic, one that can
constantly be used without harm. The
gentlest liver and bowel tonic is "Cas-
carets." They put the liver to work
and cleanse the colon and bowels Of
all waste, toxins and poisons without
griping-they never sicken or incon-
venience you like Calomel, Salts, Oil,
or Purgatives.
Twenty-Five million boxes of Cas-
carets are sold each year. They work
while you sleep. Cascarets cost so
little too.-Adv.

Green cut bone can often be pur-
chased from the butcher This ma
terial when procured fresh makes an
excellent substitute for beef scrap. It
should be purchased in small quanti-
ties, as it cannot be kept fresh for any
length of time and when spoiled may
cause severe bowel trouble. 1t is best
fed in trough not oftener than every
other day, allowing about one-half
ounce per bird. Should severe or con-
tinued looseness of the bowels follow
the feeding of green cut bone it should
be discontinued or the quantity re-
duced.
