There is just one place where the
gentlewoman, with dramatic instincts.
will allow her robing to be bit au-
dacious, and that place is within her
own four walls. The gentlewOman
naturally strives for distinction in
dress, but she will not go to the length
of wearing things so unusual in char
acter and design, as to make her con-
spicuOuS in public. But within her
home it is different. From any cor
ner Of the world inspirations may be
carried out in bOudOir gowns and in
undertakings; the ARREST fabrics, the
most daring color combinations. the
richest embroideries and extravaganza
~ unique designs are at her service.
Just now China and Japan are fur
nishing alluring things with wonder
full possibilities for boudoir wear. The
big fringed shawls of crepe de chine,
embroidered with incredible f1neness
in the most brilliant coIors, make neg
Hgees that only need to be draped on
the figure, the drapery sewed in place,
and the robe thus made provided with
fastening. Like a great many neg
igees, these gorgeous affairs presup-
pose a warm climate or steam heat.

You get more for dressed poultry
by picking it dry than when scalded.
1t is almost impossible to give lay

exercise.
Nature teaches US that fowls should
have wide range and that farm
is the best place for them
Poultry houses should be covered
with good grade of roofing paper, as
it makes a tight roof and does not per-
nit the warm air to seep out through
the roof, as is the case with shingles
Geese feed better on grass and much
corn is not good for them.
Eggs mold when kept in a damp
place, and the flavor deteriorates.
The fall renovation of the poultry
business should include a thorough
survey of the feed bins and corn cribs
Do you have scaIy legs? 1t Is
caused by a mite and may be cured
by salve composed of two parts coal
oil and one part lard.
Idle hens soon grow too fat to lay
and in the plans for winter it is well
to provide some means to compel them
to work
To avoid disease keep the premises
constantly clean. Whitewash the
buildings inside and out ana scatter
lime over the floor and grounds.

should be filed in numerical order, and
duplicate checks should be covered by

P0RRIDGE FEED FOR POULTRY
Scraps and Waste Are Best Prepared
by Running Through an Ordi-
nary Meat Cutter.

Table scraps and kitchen waste are
best prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary meat grind
er. After the material has been put
through the grinder il is usually a
rather moist mass, and it is we'll to
mix with it cOrnmeaI, bran or other
ground grain until the whole mass as
sumes a crumbly condition. The usual
method is to feed the table scraps at
noon or at night, or at both times. as
may he desired, in a trough or on a
board. All should be fed that the
hens will eat up clean, and if any of
the material is left after one-half or
three quarters of an hour it should
be removed. If allowed to lie it may
spoil and would be very bad for the
hens.

well-fixed proportions if the desired
results are to be obtained most eco
nomically. These constituents are
mineral, heterogeneous, and carbOna-
ceOus, all of which are contained in
corn, wheat, oats and barley, but not
in the right proportions to give the
greatest egg yield. In addition some
animal feed and green feed should be
supplied.
In feeding poultry a valuable les
son may be learned from nature. In
the spring the production of eggs on
the farm is an easy matter. Fowls
which are at liberty to roam find an
abundance of green and animal feed
on their range, which with grain fur
nishes a perfect ration for laying
hens. In addition to this they get
plenty of exercise and fresh air. So
far as lies within his power, then. the
feeder should aim to make the winter
conditions springlike.

BULKY FEED FOR BROOD sow
Clover chaff When seaIded and Soaked

In reply to frequent inquiries for
bulky feed for wintefing brood sows.
it may be said that clover chaff, such
as accumulates on a barn floor, when
scalded and soaked for II hours, makes
a palatabIe and suitable feed of this
kind. It is desirable to add a little
oilmeal or other millfeed to make it

clover and alfalfa even when fed dry.
When they have access to it, sows will
also eat a little corn fodder.
