HE accompanying sketches ‘show a style of hairdressing N, that is now fashionable. Waving the hair is still in vogue, and, as all of us are not able to pay a visit to a fashionable hairdresser’s every.time we want our hair to look nice, we here instruct our readers how to produce ihe latest in coiffures. » - Our No. 1 shows how the hair should be divided, and how three wavers are nsed for each side. The hair may be allowed to remain in the wavers all night, or can be pinched with hot irons should the effect be required immediately. o ‘When the hair is waved all round the head, it is frizzed underneath with the comb, or, better still, a lightlymade horse-hair frame is placed underneath, to reach from ear to ear. The wavy hair is combed over this. Next we come tothe back hair, which,

IN FASHION’S REALM. Blinte of Wha¢ Is Bei;g Worn and What Will Be Worn in ‘ Early Spring. For gowns soft lace tulles, gauzes, crepe de chine and nets will all be pressed into service; despite the use of some beautiful satins and brocades, the softer fabrics are certainly the most popular, while the all-lace dress is never really out of fashion.

Lace of a coarse make will be a prominent feature on the early spring headgear. Some lovely Paris picture hats are of white moire with a regular curtain of chantilly lace falling over a brim consisting of endless tuckings of cream chiffon and further adorned with one enormously thick black or white ostrich plume, reports the Chieago Daily News. -

Scme of the picture hats are really enormous, but have beautiful curves, the best being copied from old prints, etc. White felt, white beaver and white caracul hats are much worn in Paris. A bordering of dark green leaves on a white picture hat is very effective, especially if the wearer puts some green chiffon about her néck and keeps the rest of the costume white. White is really a traze and is likely to continue so. - - =

Applique coats are both new and old. That is, there are absolutely new coats in this not-new eftfect. A very interesting feature of these coatsis the fact that they are made in four thicknesses, Also that they cannot be alteres, as the design is net drawnuntil the garmeént is cut and sewed. To explain, the four coats (that’s what it amounts to) go in this wise: There’s the satin lining, that’s one. Then the interlining, two. Next is the taffeta coat proper. And last is a coat of broadcloth or velours. Whichever of these materials is used is traced in the chosen design, which is then - stitched in with the silk as a foundation. Then the design is cut out. It is always richi Besides, it ig so difficult tlfat everybody suspects if is imported. As a matter of fact, we have domestic workFrs so skilled that it may be and is made right here af home..

The all-lace blouse is more charming and effective than ever; it is usually worn over an oriental satin slip. It is sometimes made of fine ecru lace net

threaded with black velvet or colored ribbons, while in direct contrast coarse Irish erochet or guipure, softened witk a lining of chiffon or mousseline de soie, is often used with equally gooc effect. :

The possibilities of lace instead of dwindling increase and get more fascinating every day. A lace berth: picked up at one of the sales which are either now on or will be shortly coming on, is an admirable adjunct to the doing up of a last year’s evening frock These berthas are of various shapes and you will be sure to find one to sui your particular style.

' Don’t eat as if you only had a minute in which to finish the meal, or eat without an appetite. Don’t give unnecessary time to a certain established routine of housekeeping when-it could be much more profitably spent in rest or recreation.

There is a whole lot of mistaken notion afloat about the best- way to brealk up a broody hen. Itis true that ducking her in the water trough will make her think of other things than hatching chickens, and throwing her over the fence by the tail will jar her some, and may “break her up” (orto pieces) if persisted in; but is that the real thing we are after? Most of us keep hens for the eggs they lay. Therefore, the only correct method of handling bro()d_\"hens is not only to stop their desire to sit, but to induce them to begin laying again in the shortest possible. time. Mauny people believe the thing to do is to shut the broody hens in coops without food or water and *“‘starve them to it.” Others don’t do anything. They just let them sit it out, and incidentaily feed the lice. They seem to go on the theory that a hen sitting is a hen resting, and ought to grow fat doing nothing. Perhaps she ought to, but she will not. - Why does a hen get broody? There! You tell. It is a question of heredity. 1t would seem that there is a condition

Lo - o Wy RN, ! \ B\ \.]‘\y ) ’l.l":\‘ . \ A\ lf"'\ N \ NUONORNON | » ”li\'l\\ A | NN ull 1 h; Ay ’/'qui‘ | NRN N SRR R IR N SRR RS R IR sl e i ‘:;> > a ;I e e ’ ! l i SPLENDID WALL COOP. . of nerve exhaustion after a long period of laying, though it does not follow necessarily that there would be a condition. of fat exhaustion. Some of the fattest hens become broody. But whatever the theory, the fact is that the quickest and best way to break up broody hens and to get them to laying again is to remove them from the nests when they first show signs of getting broody. If they are permitted to stay on the nests for several days the desire to remain increases, and they are more persistent than if they had=been removed promptly. They, should be placed in coops or in a pen by themselves, where they can hdve plenty of pure air and an abundance of good rich food and clean water. 1f one has only a few fowls a separate pen is best, and in this case a male should be placed with the hens. Where many hens are kept it becomes necessary to provide coops for the sitters and to place them where they will be the most convenient for the attendant to coop the hens each night when gathering the eggs. T'wo forms of coops are here shown; the one upon the wall may be used by those who feel that they can aftord fo pay for appearances. It is more difficult to fight the mites by this artangement. We simply use 48 or 60 quart berry crates, that can be purchased second-handed in most towns for a mere pittance. Atfirst they were o =g '“ I 'f/é" uwms : HBP —A/ /: Y Aiti Al | ] "l" imm ) = P W\ ~ N Si, !l’ g e THE SIMPLEST THING OQUT. used without alteration, being placed on the floor of each house. But the confined fowls would persist in flying out whenever others were added. The crates were then suspended like a cage by wires from the rafters, with a sliding slat fixed for a door. This worked better, but the ‘pmti(m spilled the water from the dishes, and the other hens would persist in flying on the top of the crates to lay, even though the produet would roll off a minute later and be broken. They were also hard to clean. We now simply knock off the top or .the hottom of the crate, turn it upside down on the floor, fix a sliding slat on one end for a door, and all is ready. It is easy to whitewash inside and out, and quick to clean by lifting to a new place, there being no floor space to the coop. It is not high enough for the hens to want to lay on it. By placing it next to the general water pan we do not have an extra water basin to fill. It is our practice to keep broedy hens confined three or four days. A few of these go back to the nests and we have to resentence them to three days more imprisonment on full rations. With some breeds (ours are leghorns) a longer confinement will be necessary. . The things to bear in mind to break’ up the desire to sit are to act promptiy and to so feed and care for the hens that they will be filled with new life and vitality, so that they will quit their nonsense and go to laying as soon as possible. This will save time, hens and patience.—James E. Kiee,in N.Y. Trib-une-Journal. . Frizzled Fowls Are Grotexque. Frizzled fowls are the most grotesque members of the poultry family. Their name is applied from the peculiar manner. in which their feathers curve upward and backward at the ends, as if in defiance of nature’'s laws. This curving is most conspicuous in the hackle and saddle feathers. As these birds ‘vary in color, there is no rule for judging their plumage, except that it must have the peculiar upward curve, and any color is admissible.’ The combs may be either double or single. Frizzled fowls are reported to be hardy and very early and good layers. —Farmers’ Review. :

' CATTLE FOR MARKET. Kansas Correspondent Writes That Feedin'g Stock Is an Industry Growing in Favor. Feeding stock for market is carried on by the farmers in this section to a greater extent this winter than any year previous. Other years it was only the most well to do class of farmers who fed. The past fall, although fat cattle were scarce and high priced, as but few were fattened the past winter and summer, other cattle were as a result all the more numerous. Corn was plentiful and though the price was good, the roads to town were anything but good. Hogs were also not numerous enough to eat all the corn, as the drought and consequent shortness.of feed-induced many farmers to sell even most of their brood sows. Most of the farmers who had half or a full car load of steers to feed and had put up their own and bought a few more from those neighbors who were not able or in¢lined to feed themselves., Others went to work and shipped in western cattle, some as many as four or five carloads. These feeders, of course, will have to buy considerable corn as well as other roughage, which enables the renter and other farmers on a smaller scale get their farm.products sold rig‘#mt home for as good a price as tlley would receive by hauling it a long way. over bad roads to town. The hog. the very best friend we farmers can boast of, helps to pay the cattle feeders what they would fail to inake on the cattle. If he has pigs in the feed lot, say about 30 half-grown shotes running behind a carload and a half or two loads of cattle, those pigs will grow up and fatten on the corn that the steers waste. Thus if the farmer or feeder can get even as much only as his corn fairly well paid by the steers the hogs will much more than repay him for the work the feeding will take. . This winter’s result of feeding will be of great value, as new interest in stoek raising has been awakened. If the outcome is as encouraging as the.prospect now is a complete revolution in this particular branch of farming is assured.— Rural New Yorker.

It is recommended that a grain trough be placed underneath a rack of this kind to catch the chaff ds it falls—Farm and Home.

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS. Roup usualy comes from havihg damp or drafty roosting places. Don’t force the hen to roost under a leaky roof during.the winter storms. Feed meat in some form at least twice a week and preferably every two days. Don’t try to trade market eggs to your neighbor who has ‘invested in choice stock. Good feeding, good stock, no lice, no carelessness, is stire success to any poultry keeper. One of the grezitest mistakes made by those keeping poultry is in feeding grain exclusively. One advantage inkeeping poultry on the farm is the large amount of waste grain they pick up, ' There will be more poultry shows this year than in any previous one—which shows a growing interest. Don’t be afraid of cl.llling too closely. When selecting breeding stock try to err on the side of strictness if at all. One of the best informed poultry men declares he considers oats thebest balanced grain for egg production. The capacity of the poultry house depends not entirely upon the size of the flock, but upon the size of the hens. —Commercial Poultry. American Farms in Mexico.

While many farmers from the United States have been homesteading on the prairies of Manitoba and Saskatchewan the past year, the greater movement of agricultural capital seems to have been across the southern national boundary. The amount thus invested in Mexico is reckoned at $30,000,000, many large plantations and stockraising enterprises Dbeing operated with capital from the United States, and usually under management of talent from .this country. Mexico now has a substantial government inuvhich investors feel confidence. No doubt if these countries to the south would prove themselves suitable for raising something else than revolutions and rumpus, they would attract a fair share of the agricultural capital that is beginning to overflow its border lines both north and south.—~Boston Budget. : The Struggle for Existemce. ' It is a curious fact, in the history of nations, that only those which have had to struggle the hardest for an existence have been highly successful. As a rule, the same thing is true of men, says Success. One would think that it would be a great relief to have the bread-and-butter problem solved by one’s ancestors so that he might devote all his energies and time to the development of the mengal and spiritual faculties. But this is contrary to the verdict of history and the daily experience of the world. The strugglers, those born to a heritage of poyerty and toil, and not those reaved in the lap of fortune, have, with few ex. ceptions, been the leaders of civilization, the giants of the race. =

A New Novel Attracting Attention. | " “Lionel Ardon.” by Malcolm Dearborn, is | a new historical novel brought out by Dil- l lingham & Co., in November last. It has many points on which to commend it for its superiority to the reading public. There is, at present, such a deluge of new novels that when one can be picked out whosé in-" terest iz so intense and whose characters are so well drawn like all productions of true merit, it is soon placed’in the firs{ rank. At the time of the publication of this volume we had the pleasure of favorably réviewing it, and we are pleased to note the general appreciation of “‘lionel. Ardon” by the American press. 'l'he following is from the Boston Beacon: . R “In this book the reader rencws acquaintance with Knglish history by medns of.a story delicately conceived and very interestingly told. The historical ehdracters are well drawn and the imaginary ones are true to life past or present. 'l'his- is the first novel to utilize the beautiful face and character of Lady Jane Grey and she makes a very attractive part of the story. Lionel Ardon from boyhood to manhood plays worthily the hero’s part: The book is very strikingly bound in dark blue and gilt with a decorative touch by the outlines of the rose and. thistle in colors and two inverted swords in white.” : o e . “What are they arresting. the man for?” “They caught him selling” coal in short measure strawberry - boxes.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer: Y ' e Seeking a New Home? - Why not try the great Southwest?- Low colonist rates on the first and third Tuesdays of each month.
