three varieties: Light Brahmas for
large-sized roasting fowls; Plymouth
Rocks for medium sized roasting
Fowls aid spring chickens; and White

egg trade also be desired, then the
Leghorns could be used principally on
account Of their non-broody traits

Bush Fruits Need Some
Covering During Winter

While most of the bush fruits are
hardy so far as the cold Is concerned
they will be the better for a mulch ap-
piled after the ground has frozen or
after settled cold weather. This win
keep the soil about their roots from be-
ing loosened by the frost. Then few
OF the more tender sorts VIII need this
protection from the freezing and thaw-
ing that is so hard on hardy plants
where the changes In temperature are
frequent.
Strawy manure viii make good
protection, for IL win contain plant
food that viii be carried down into the
soil and held there until 1t Is needed
for the use OF the plants. II we re-
move the mulch In the spring and give
the berry patch clean culture we will
leave much OF the fine manure on the
ground to be turned under. This will |
furnish humus Ii Is well to leave Just |
as much OF this as we can manage with /
the cultivation we give. Sometimes II
may rot enough through the winter to
be stirred into the soil complete. We
cannot get too much decaylng vegeta-
Bile matter into the average soil. and
We do not ordinarily get anywhere near
enough.

L@}STOCK
Proper Ventilation Is
Big Boon to Live Stock

II your stable has a foul, sitting
odor In the morning and If there is
frost on the side walls and ceiling,
then your building needs ventilation,
says g. A Stewart Of the agricultural
engineering division at University
farm. II is not always possible to
keep out all frost, but there should be
very little. If any. except during the
bitter cold days of winter.
Barns should have walls that are
built to keep In the warmth of the
stock says Mr.. Stewart There
should not be cracks around doors and
windows. where the snow and Icy
blasts can blow in. 1t Is best to use
storm windows on all openings into
the stable. Do not have a large stable
with only few head of stock In 1t. If
you do not need all of the room, par |
tltlon Off a part Of it. Even a canvas
can be used for this purpose A COW
Should not be required to heat more
than 700 cubic feet of space; about $50
cubic feet is an average value. A horse
may be expected TO heat about 1000
CUBIC feet OF space, but 700 or 500
cubic feet Is fair value.
Make sure that the air intakes are
provided with shutters or hampers. so
mat you can control the amount of
iir coming in. Likewise, a shutter is
needed on the foul air nues to control
he amount of air removed. 1t is a :
'ood investment to buy a thermometer

SECRETARY BIRD
Or NAEJY. GRAHAM. BONNER

you were going to tell me some
thirg about yourself" said Billie
Brownie to the Secretary Bird in the
ZOO
"All right" said the Secretary Bird
in none too pleasant tone of voice.
Billy Brownie was anxious to hear
what he had to say though he did not
particularly care for the manners of
the Secretary Bird.
My feathers behind my head are
the reason for my name," said the
Secretary Bird. "They make me look
like secretary so they say, or so
they used to say.
Secretaries used to 90 about their
work with feathered pens behind their
ears and it was at that time, in days
gone by, that they gave us the fam
lily name of Secretary Birds, and the
name still belongs to us.
Il think they really should change
1t now. They should call us some 9TH

for bird or beast that had some
thing which looked like a typewriter
sticking out from its head and then
call it a secretary bird.

Starcbed. .Front Shirt And CoIIar

It is equally silly to idolize and to anathematize English fashions. For instance, there was the amusing fel- low who said, "I ain't got no use for none O them English styles" .Retorted the listener, "No! nor for the English language, either" What difference does it make where a fashion comes from, provided that it goes to make one better and more becomingly dressed ? To deny that the English have always borne the torch in mems styles, lighting the way for the world to follow, would be to write ones self down as ignorant of facts and fashion. Not all English ideas are good and worthy of adoption. Not all are bad and worthy of rejec- ton. The Well-Dressed Man weighs and sits them, eyer mindful that be- comingness to the individual trans cends mere style and that all things cannot, in simple reason. be suited to all types of faces and figures.
 One of English fashions, though not wholly new, which is now being favored by many Americans in metropolitan centers is the short-froft, starched bosom shirt together with a stiff collar to match, as illustrated here. The ob- ject of this style is to unite the comfort of the soft shirt with he smooh, smart appearance of the starched shirt when the waistcoat is worn. This is admir-

MUSIC FEATURES
 LYRIC PROGRAM
Two Holiday Matinees Planned-Variety
 Promised

Christmas day is being celebrated in fitting manner at the Lyric theater where patrons are being offered some extra special good things in the pro- gram which opens this afternoon, with two matinees in honor of the holiday. On the five acts of big-time Keith vaudeville will be found wide variety of pleasing and entertaining things.
 Marie, Ethel and Florence Fleming offer the headliner musical act that would grace any concert stage in the country.
 The Fleming trio have attracted the notice of the best musical critics. These young ladies, who play respectively piano, violin and cello, are 'hott only knative Americans, but their education and training have been accomplished here. Today they are acknowledged as pre-eminent in their field.
 Free from foibles and eccentricities that so often accompany genius, their girlish simplicity has won for them a permanent place in the hearts of music loving America. For the added attraction there is more music combined with clever and diverting comedy. George Damerel and Myrtle Vail, assisted by Donna Dam erel, offer the combination under the title of Words and Music" This is hodge podge of songs, dances and dialogue said to be exceptionally good. The special feature brings Lillie Faulker and company in "Play Ball" This is described as one of the most diverting novelties of the season and one that has received the highest sort of praise.
 Rounding out the program are Sim Moore and Frank Mitchell in "Worse- Tile Comedians" and Friscoes Seals, novelty animal act.

In fact, local crit ics have been unanimous in declaring that this is the greatest attraction ot its kind ever presented on the local vaudeville stage.
 The Zaza and Adele Revue, com posed of six artists, presenting a pot pourri of song and dance, is another feature, and there is also on this bill the return engagement of Fagg and White, black-face aces, in 1925 Bits of Africanology."

 Near $10,000

J. H. Deadrick, secretary of the Roe buck Golf club, narrowly escaped being burned to death, early Wednesday when fire of an unknown origin destroyed a wing of the main building of the club in which he was sleeping.
 The secretary made his escape from the flames by climbing down ladder leaning against the side of the wall.
 Damage to the club was estimated at various figures by club officials, rang ing from $7,500 to $12,O00. In addi- tion to the damage to the building sev- eral thousand dollars worth of golf clubs and other paraphernalia stored in the locker rooms were destroyed. The

Naturally, with your waistcoat on, the difference in the color and pattern of bosom and body is not exposed to view.
