—:’fl_d PULLETS MAKE BEST LAYERS it Seldom Pays to Keep Hens for Eggs After They Are 2/ Years ¥ Old—Young Fowls ‘Favored. | PRI, ere are people’ who have the right varlety of fowls, who house and feed them properly, and yet who can- not obtain eggs early in the winter because their fowls are too old. It weldom pays to keep hens for 'laying after they are two and one-half years ¢ old; not that they will not give & i profit, but that y fowls will it give a greater profit, says the United States department of agriculture. A b | great many poultrymen who make a specialty of winter egg production Xeep nothing but pullets, disposing of the one-year-old hens before it is time to put them in the winter quarters. Flock of White Leghorn Pullets. The thamplon of the girls’ poultry clubs of Mississippi kevps nething but pullets. Early hatched pullets, if properly grown, ought to begin laying in Oc- tober or early November and continue to lay through the winter. Yearling hens seldom begin laying much before January 1 and older hens pot until later, It is the November and Decem- ber eggs that bring the high prices. The laying breeds should begin lay- ing when about from five to six months old, general-purpose breeds at six to seven months, and the meat breeds at eight”to nine months. VARIETY OF FOOD FOR HENS Fowls Easily Obtain Different Things Necessary to Make Eggs and Majntain Body. . kY ' Constantly feeding one or two grains bnly compels the fowls to e!}tl more than they ought to and make thelr di- gestive systems work too hard trylng to get all the different food elements in sufficient quantity out of this mate- rial. By feeding a varlety of food the * fowls are not obliged to consume so great an amount and they can more easlly obtain the different things re- quired to maintain the body and make eges. ;o SIMPLE REMERY FOR WORMS ( QGive Twenty Drops of Turpentine In Milk or Water and Mix in Mash AL for Mornlng Feed.

Yes, sir, the poulfry business of |- HERE s such an unending variety in blouses and smocks in all tbe displays of spring merchandise, that it is difficult to make a choice with the certainty that it is a wise one. It takes repefited visits to the shops and a consideration of the constantly ar- riving inew models, to determine what styles are favored and what features persist. - Fashion reporters learn from experience that they are expected to detect the successful models and styles features and it’is not hard to do this, In the two new blouses shown in'the picture above, two of the outstanding and successful features.of the new styles are emphasized. No woman need hesitate to follow their sugges- tions in making her selections for spring. One blouse of georgette, in two colors, reveals the liking for color combinations and fanciful ef- fects. The other, of fine white voile, with filet lace,and needlework as adorn- ment, portrays a different character‘of blause, but one that promises to lead all others as the favorite of gentle- women. The blouse of white vofle is hafd made and the lace used on it Is an ele- gant example. of fine work. It is at once simply and cunningly designed— Driven to It. ; 1 ® “My boy,” sald Mr. Grabcoin, “gre you getting ready to settle down?” “Yes, dad: “I-guess I'll have to.” “A sensible decision, sir.” with:a panel -at the front, groups of hand-run- tucks at each side and a little fine embroidery in small flower sprays on it.. It is the sort of blouse that theine-grained woman finds ador- able. The work in it is worth while because voile and filet are blessed with fron. constitutions, with all their dain- tiness, and will outlast any other fab- ric used in blouses. The under and overblouse idea and clever use of color, fnd themselves happily set forth in the blouse of georgette jn which dark blue is posed over pale tan color, with the tiniest buttons in the lighter color playing the part of trimming. They outline all the edges of the slashed body and sleeves, glso the neck and cufts. But the - designer’s bright, particular achievement in this model appears in the narrow ribbon in a Roman stripe that finishes L.e neck and sleeves and passes in a band around. the under- bodice and upper sleeve. It is a gay, brilliant and fine finishing touch, °® A Méan Man. “Would you mind telling me what the upkeep of your llmouslne amounts to?” “Certainly not." replied the prosper- “Perhaps.
