Walking Suit Shows
Plaid in Limelight
Avery natty walking or sports suit
is this black and white plaid with
platinum fox collar. The hat is felt
cut out to reveal the metal cloth under
neath.
Velvets, as in all the other collec
tions, are a marked feature, and green
is the paramount color —apple aDd
emerald greens for formal wear and
dark green in coats and daytime
dresses. The Chanel neckline is uew.
She has many little band collars that
stand up In back and nre brought
around to be tied loosely in front.
Shoe Buckles, Colors,
Materials and Shapes
From the most elaborate of shoe
buckles, the Parisienne has turned now
to the most conservative. Many of the
new dress shoes have the tiniest motifs
in brilliants instead of a buckle or
other ornament.
Bronze shoes, which remain In style,
are not worn with bronze hosiery. A
peculiar shade of fawn, with more of
a rose cast to it than ordinarily, is the
proper color for the stockings.
A distinctive shoe is of brown satin
with suede trimmings of a lighter tone.
It Is made to fit trimly around the
ankle by means of brown satin elastic
gorings.
Shoes have become rather pointed
again. Dress shoes Invariably have
long, narrow toes although the heels
need not be very high. Even sports
shoes incline toward a narrower toe.
King Tut Influence Is
Powerful in Fashions
The straight, narrow, unbelted sil
houette still is popular and there
seems every reason to believe that It
will come triumphantly through the
winter. Tut-Ankh-Amen remains a po
tent influence In English dress, both in
line and decoration. Many pawns
which Englishwomen will wea are viv
idly embroidered, some of the em
broideries taking the weird Egyptian
form, while others are even more flam
boyant.
For the Boudoir.
Dainty antique furnishings are the
proper thing for the boudoir now. The

of the top of the arch, be hung above
this. In the first and second cases
where the shade does not cover the
curved section of the window, a piece
of material like that of the shade is
usually tacked over the expoced sur
face and made to meet the line of the
shade so well that there Ij no unpleas
ant effect. Occasionally we find shades
hung double at the top—one to pull
upwnrd over the arch, the other to pull
down.
Very large arched or studio windows
are sometimes covered with Austrian
drapes, such as used at large win
dows in banks and other business
houses. If such drapes are considered
for use be sure that their peculiar line
formation does not interfere with the
general character of your hall or room.
Table in Every Room.
Every room in the home is made
more attractive by using a suitable
table, the tip top, the gate leg. the
sewing, writing or any other type
which may be of service in that par
ticular room. Nearly every living room
needs one or two and every bed cham
ber should be equipped with one.

SNOW STORM
“Come on Sir Freeze-the-Ponds,"
said King Snow. “Come on Mr. Wind, 1 ’
he added.
"We’re waiting for you, too, Lovely
Snowflake children,” he called.
“And we hope you’ll not be late," he
shouted to the Jeweler Brothers known
.as the Diamond-Snow Jewelers.
"I want to have a storm party,” King
Snow said, “and I’d like to have you
all come.
"Of course the jewelers don’t have
to come right away. But I hope they’ll
come soon after the party and won’t
be late in taking their places in the
great winter reunion.
"You all know that a reunion menns
a gathering together once more so we
all want to gather together to show
that Old Man Winter is here.”
-"l’m here,” Old Man Winter shouted.
And Mr. Wind blew through his long
fingers a great cold breath of air and
whistled as he said:
“He's here all right. Old Man Win
ter is here.”
“Oh, it’s so nice to have a reunion,”
said King Snow.
“Would you like me to come, too,
Your Majesty?” said an icy voice and

little snow peaks which had been
frozen into shape by Prince Sleet’s
friend, Mr. Freezing-Is-Fun.
“We want you, of course we want
you,” said King Snow’.
So Prince Storm joined the party.
“And we w’ant Mr. Freezing-is-Fun,
too,” King Snow added. “He is always
such a nice one to have at a party.
Some creatures go to a party and never
say a word afid don’t make the slight
est effort to help have a good time.
“For those who don’t get Into the fun
of things don’t enjoy themselves
either. That is only fair of course.
But it is so much nicer when they do
enter into the fun of a party and enjoy
It themselves and. help others have a
good time.
“Mr. Freezing-is-Fun is a splendid
creature at a party.
“And we must ask Prince Sleei.
Prince Sleet would help n great deal."
“i m here,” said Mr. Freezing-is-Fun,
for Mr. Wind had offered him a free
ride to the party and Mr. Freezing-is-
Fun had accepted with great eager
ness and pleasure.
“Well, well, well, this is nice to see
the old friends ngaln.
‘How do you do, Snowflake children?
“Why, hello, Old Man Winter. I
might have known I would have seen
you here. This Is nice, ha, ha, ha, this
is nice.
“And I’m powerfully pleased to see
you, Sir Freeze-the-Ponds. I’m such
an admirer of yours.”
So Mr. Freezing-ls-Fun went around
greeting all his friends nnd they were
all glad to see him, too.
Then along came Prince Sleet.
“I met someone on the way who
wants to come to the party.” said
Prince Sleet.
“Tell me who wants to come,” said
King Snow.
“It’s the whole Blizzard family. Old
Boy Blizzard wanted to know if he
could come and bring the others. “He
said It was the nurse’s day out and
there was no one with whom to leave
the children if all the older ones went
off, too.
“Asa matter of fact I think they
sent that word as an excuse to bring
the whole family but they don’t mind
If you know how very anxious they are
to come— so long as you will let them

“Oh, yes,” said King Snow, “have
them come.”
“I’ll tell them they’re invited,” said
Mr. Wind.
“Thank von kindly, thank you kind
ly,” said King Snow.
And soon, oh so soon, the Blizzard
family came and such a snow-storm
and blizzard and wild time as there
was at the big reunion of King Snow
and of Old Man Winter and their

Detect Diarrhea
in Young Chicks
Serum Agglutination Tests
to Be Made at Illinois
University.
The laboratory of animal pathology
and hygiene of the University of Illi
nois Is prepared to make a limited
number of serum agglutination tests
for the detection of white diarrhea in
chicks, for owners of breeding stock.
Upon request vinls will be furnished
for collecting blood samples, as well
as leg bands bearing numbers for the
identification of the hens. A charge
of five cents per sample will be made
to cover In part the cost of making
the test. Valuable assistance cnn be
obtained from a competent veterina
rian in collecting blood samples. Uni
versity Agricultural Circular No. 273
describes the disease fully.
Bacillary white diarrhea is a spe
cific, highly contagious disease of
young chicks. It is one of the few
diseases that may be transmitted di
rectly through the egg to the off
spring. The disease may also exist
in mature stock, but it often remains
unrecognized, since there are no vis
ible characteristic symptoms, as in
the case of chicks.
Symptoms of Infection.
Chicks infected through the egg
manifest symptoms in a few hours
after hatching. In the acute type of
the disease affected chicks (three to
twelve days old) are drowsy and de
jected in appearance. The feathers
are ruffled, the wings droop and the
chick sways back and forth when In
a standing position.
Mildly infected chicks grow to ma
turity, and while they appear to be
healthy, harbor an ovarian Infection
and eventually become active spread
ers of the disease.
Bacillary white diarrhea may be
transmitted to the chicks through the
infected droppings of sick chicks,
through contaminated incubators,
brooders and pens, or directly through
the egg to the chick. A single In
fected chick at hatching time may be
responsible directly or Indirectly for
communicating the Infection to the
entire brood.
Control of Disease.
The control of bacillary white diar
rhea depends on two factors: First,
the detection of infected breeding
hens by means of the serum agglu
tination test, and their removal from
the flock; and second, the protection
of newly hatched uninfected chicks
against infection in incubators, brood
ers and houses.
Flocks free from the disease are
needed to supply healthy breeding
stock. Avoid purchasing eggs or
breeding stock from Infected flocks.
Isolate all exposed or Infected chicks.
Destroy all dead chicks by burning.
Intestinal antiseptics, including sour
rnilk, nmy be regarded as palliative
remedies, but should not be depended
upon to prevent the development of
the disease in infected flocks.
Incubators, brooders and houses
should be cleaned and disinfected. Hot
lye water (one pound of lye t-> forty
gnllons of water) applied with a broom
or brush will aid In cleaning. A 3 per
cent compound cresol solution (U. S.
P.) applied with a spray pump Is a
reliable disinfectant.
Necessary for Ducks to
Have Water for Drinking
It was formerly considered neces
sary to have a swimming pool or pond
for ducks, but they can be raised
profitably without It. The eggs are
more likely to be fertile, however. If
given plenty of range and water to
swim In. Ducks really do drink more
water than hens, and require a deep
pan or fountain placed near their
feed so that they can run to it every
little while and drink or wash their
bill.
Big Mistake in Feeding
Laying Hens Stimulants
It Is a mistake to feed nostrums
and stimulants to hens or pullets In
an effort to increase the present egg
production, for the simple reason that
the feeding of such stimulants has a
very detrimental effect upon the per
formance of the hens during the sub
sequent breeding season. Stimulation
of laying fowls, as In the case of hu
man beings, through the use of drugs
or stimulants, can cause nothing else
but the eventual breakdown of the
physical being of the individual.
Plan to Cecure Strong Chicks.
High fertility and stronger chicks
will result If the breeders are not
forced during the winter. It Is best
to keep them below 50 per cent pro
duction. Twelve per cent animal pro
tein in the mash Is sufficient.
Quality Counts With Poultry.
In selling poultry, quality counts,
and quality Is secured not only by the
proper growth of the birds, but also in
the manner of dressing and the meth
od of shippplng.
Comparison of Feeds
for Milk Production
Result of Trials Made by
lowa Agricultural College.
A summary on “A Comparison of
Roughages for Milk Production,” pub
lished by the lowa State College of
Agriculture, has the following sum
mary :
The trials reported appear to indi
cate that:
1. The use of com fodder Instead'
of corn silage reduces milk production!
six per cent and fat production three!
per cent.
2. When the value of dry matter iu:
silage was worth CO cents per 100
pounds that In coru fodder was worth!
32 % cents.
3. With silage valued at $4.50 per !
ton, nn acre of corn yielding eight tons
of green feed and converted Into!
silage will yield $36 worth of feed,!
whereas, if converted into fodder the:
value of the crop will be reduced to
$10.21 per acre.
4. When timothy hay Is used to re
place nlfulfa hay In a good dairy ra
tion the production of milk and butter-j
fat Is reduced seven per cent.
5. With alfalfn hay at sls per ton*
timothy hay is wortli 80 cents per ton
for feeding producing cows.
6. When corn fodder and timothy
hay are introduced In a ration lu !
place of corn silage and alfalfa hay
there Is n decrease of 18 per cent In
milk and 14 per cent in fat production.'
7. When the two poor roughages,j
corn fodder nnd timothy hay, are fed
together, this combination gives to
them a slightly higher value individ
ually than where one is fed with a :
good roughage, but good production or
economical returns from the feeds ean
uot be obtained.
8. Corn silnge nnd a legume hay
(alfalfa) nre the best roughages for
dairy cattle, while corn fodder aud
timothy liny nre poor.
9. If the corn crop Js nil to be fed
to the cows it should be put in the
silo. On the dairy fnrrn hays such r.3
timothy should be sold nnd legume
hays purchased in their stead.
Clean Up Droppings of
Flock in Winter Months
The droppings of the flock should
be cleaned up regularly, especially
throughout the winter months while
the birds are housed together without
free range. Many diseases tire spread
front bird to bird by means of Infec
tive droppings of a sick fowl. Against
nil such risks, the successful poultry
man defends his flock when he cleans
up and uses powdered, air-slacked
lime.
Heavy Grain Feeds for
Pullets Gaining Favor
Heavy grain feeding for pullets is
gaining favor among poultrymen each
year. Some of the most successful
demonstration farms kept grain In
front of the pullets during most of the
past winter. At least four pounds of
grain to every pound of mash should
be fed during the fall and winter
months. This matter of heavy grain
feeding Is of real Importance and
should not be overlooked.
New lowa Legume Being
Shoved Into Limelight
Dalea, the new legume found grow
ing near Logan, lowa, a few years ago.
Is being shoved right out into the lime
light by H. D. Hughes, of lowa ex
periment station. Hughes Is the man
who trotted out Hubam, the annual
sweet clover, a few years ago. This
crop has pleased the bea folks morn
than any other class, for Hubam Is a
great pasture crop for bees.
To Clean Dirty Eggs.
Dirty eggs may be cleaned by taking
a greasy cloth, one greased with lard
or butter, und wiping them. This will
remove the dirt nnd at the same time
close the pores In the shell and keep
lt air-tight.
Getting Rid of Weeds.
Where soy beans are growing there
seems to be more trouble ln keeping
weeds down than from any other
cause. Thicker planting and rigid cul
tivation with a weeder or rotary will
get rid of the weeds.
Water Fowls Seldom Sick.
Ducks and geese are seldom sick, or
have contagious diseases, but when
one does appear seriously 111, It Is best
to kill it and burn the carcass.
Scratch Up Profit.
A flock of hens will scratch up
more profit on less land than a team
and plow on many acres.
Ducks Need Fresh Air.
Ducks, young and old, must have
lots of air and will not thrive ln close;
ooorly ventilated quarters.
