jan Ideal tailored costume for a young
Iwoman. .
The undraped skirt hangs straight
from the normal waist line. It has
the fashionable narrow effect, but Is
provided with Inverted plaits at each
side, which are free from the kneo
down. TheBe give room for long and
rapid strides. The bottom Is finished
jwlth a hem, and above the plaits ar-jrow-heads
and seams piped with a con
trasting color make a workman-like,
land therefore elegant, "tailored" fln
llsh. j The coat follows, with fashionable
(vagueness, the lines of the figure. In
jmany new models the waist line Is
quite Ignored. But In this there Is an
easy shaping of tho side seamB and a
jllttlo definition of the waist. The
shoulders are wide and the sleeves

OIIOUP of three hats is pictured
jnL here suited to the needs or the
Jyoung lady in the high school and her
smaller sister. One of them, the mor-jtar-board
hat of velvet, Is shown In
itwo views. This velvet model and tho
jlarge tailor for the nearly grown mUs
are suitable for dressy wear also.
The mortar-board hat Is a novelty
ilu headwear. It Is made on a square
ibrlm mounted over a small round
crown. The velvet covering ,1s cut
jlarge enough to fold back, as shown
tin the picture. This covering Is a
large square of velvet bordered with
BHK. ine rour curjiera ui mo onuuio
are fastened to the crown with small
ribbon bows. No further decoration
would bo In good taste on bo odd a
model. This hat could be mado of
more durable material by substituting
lone of the thin plushes, such as are
ishown among fall millinery materials.
', The sailor shape of plain velvet Is.
a type ok many hats designed for
.young girls. The brim of velvet Is
jqulte often mounted on a crown of
rllk in contrasting color. Gold and
undeveloped figures of youth. For fin
ish the coat depends upon pipings,
embroidered arrow-heads and simu
lated buttonholes with a turned-back
collar in silk of the same color as the
decorations.
The belt, of the material, with sash
ends at the front, has a row of ma
chine stitching near Its edges and Is
a feature in the styles1 for fall and
winter. The jacket is hemmed at tho
bottom. Deep, slightly flaring cuffs
finish the sleeves.

A soft blouso of white cotton voili.
with neck and sleeves finished with
hemstitched frills, Is worn with this
suit. The sensible walking boots of
kid, with cloth uppers, are neatly
tipped with patent leather. The short
washable gloves are barred with black.
A sailor hat with velvet brim and
satin crown is simply trimmed with
velvet bow and one large satin poppy.
Taken altogether this is a costume
that the young woman may wear with
much satisfaction. It will pas's the
most discriminating scrutiny and place
her at once among the well dressoi'.
N. V-?
silver cloth is used for this purpose
Pretty roman-strlped silks are good,
s The close-fitting, bonnet-like shape,
for a little miss, Is of a light weight
plush draped over a frame. It Is,
trimmed with a small natural wing.
These plushes will stand any amount
of wear and weather and are, in fact,
more hardy than fur. Hats made of
them are very comfortable and a satis-'
factory protection in cool weather.
Corduroy Is about the most reliable
fabric which one can select to make
hats for tho children's dally wear.
And altogether satisfactory shapes
can be made at home, using cither
corduroy or velveteen. Hats of this1
kind are made with soft crowns and
have brims interlined with crinoline.
Patterns for making them are to be
had of any standard pattern company.
By stitching the brims in parallel
rows, they may be kept shapely.
Trimmings are of the simplest char-'
acter it used at -all. Bands of ribbon
finished with small bows are tho best
choice of all.

GERMANY'S FIELD MARSHAL
Gen. Count Helmuth von Moltko,
field marshal of the German nrmy,
now in supremo command, under tho
kaiser, of the united forces of tho
'empire, is tho favorite nephew of tho
'old field marshal of the Franco-Prussian
war of 1870. He Inherited his
j uncle's favorlto personal belongings
and his favorlto estate. His father
jwas tho old field marshal's younger
brother and was chamberlain to tho
king of Denmark, the Moltke family
jbelng of Danish origin. Helmuti,von
(Moltke, now fifty-six years old, was a
sub-lleutenant In the Franco-PrusBlan
war and was awarded the Iron cross
(for bravery. From 1882 to 1891 ha
jwas his celebrated uncle's adjutant
,on the general staff, and It took him
'that wholo period to advanco from
'the rank of captain to that of major.

Helmuth von Moltke is one of the
most accomplished musicians In Germany, and some twelve years ago, at a
banquet of tho kaiser's cuirassier regiment at Noudeck, the kaiser led tho
band when It played an old march composed In 1402 which Moltko had resur
rected and rewritten as a musical curiosity. It was about this time that tho
kalBer appointed him quartermaster-general of tho army, an appointment
which pleased everybody, as the ofTlcer was popular and had an excellent
reputation as a military executive. He had become popular with tho kaiser
for his accomplishments of culture as well as those of tho soldier, u very
natural thing.
The knlser twice offered him tho baton of tho field marshal before Moltke

GERMANY'S GRAND ADMIRAL
Grand Admiral von Tlrpltz, tho
bead of the kaiser's navy, Is the
dominating figure In Gorman official
life. As far as the navy Is concerned,

1885, commander of tho Blitz, as chief
of tho flotilla. He was mado rear ad

chief of the squadron In East Asia,
and In 1898, secretary of state to tho udmlralty. There Is no naval expoit lit

probably the most Illustrious minister of marine now alive. He Is tho real

RAISE TURKEYS FOR MARKET
White Hollands Are Not as Large as
Bronze, but Are Hardier and
Easier to Manage.
For several years I havo bred White
Holland turkeys "nnd like them very
much. They aro not quite so largo as
the bronze, but I find them hardier
and easier to raise. Their Avhlto plu
mage makeB them easy to soo whon at
nnge, and tholr feathers sell for
ore than dark ones. My turkeys
forago all over nn elghty-acro farm,
but never go very far from home,
writes L. P. Glllon of Milwaukee
county, AVIs., In Orango Judd Farmer.
This 1b ono of the characteristic quali
ties of tho White Holland. Generally
I keep one torn und eight or ton bene
over winter.
For hatching I prefor chicken hens
to turkoys. Usually two or three nro
Bet at a time, nnd then all tho poults
aro given to tho turkey hen because
tho turkey makes a better mother
than tho chicken hen. Durlug tho first
week the poults receive nothing but
rolled oats and sour milk curd, al
though I sometimes supplement this
with un occasional feed of custard or
hard-boiled eggs chopped very fine
and slightly peppered. Always I con
fine the mother In a sheltered placo
for the first ton days and allow tho
poultB to run In tho grass after tho
dew 1b off. Tho location of tho coop
I chunge dally.
When tho poults nro thrco weeks
old I begin to feed four times dally,
and when u month old throo times.
Cracked corn and wheat aro given
at this time, but the main diet con
sists of bran and curds. After tho
poults havo shot the red they nro
practically out of danger and enn bo
fed cracked corn nnd whent twice
dally. They may also bo allowed to
forage with the mother at will. From
this time forward thoy gain most of
their living. Each day, however, I
feed them twlco to encourage them to
come to tho houso at night. Ono feed
Is given in tho morning, tho other In
tho evening. They roam tho fields
during the day.
Next to feeding two of the moot
important points In turkey raising aro
to keep tho poults freo from vormln
nnd dampness. I prevent tho former
by using a good lice killer oncp or
twlco a week and keeping tho heads
and under sides of tho wings well
greased with lard. I always house my
broods In waterproof coops. Whon old
enough to kill tho poults are fed
lieavly upon corn for ten days or two
weeks, but for tho last twenty-four
hours before killing thoy recolvo noth
ing except water. Usually I sell them
when six or seven months old, or when
they aro twelve to sixteen poundH for
toiriH and eight to ten pounds for hens.
Thoy generally bring eighteen to
twenty-two cents a pound locally.

GOOD METHOD OF FATTENING
Prnctlco of "Feeding Birds In 8maU
Yards or Pens Is 'Preferred
for Market Chickens.
i
(By C. E. BIIOWN. Minnesota Experi

Tho loose-pen method of fattening;
market chickens might bo properly do

birds in smnll yards or pens, jn lots
of from iwenty-flve to fifty. Wo prei
fer this method for broilers or cock
erels of tho lighter broods, Buch na
LcghornB, as thoy nro very active and
nro likely to bo rostless In tho crato.
Our plan Is to havo a small coop on
shelter for rooBtlng, with a small yard,
attached, tho wholo structuro being
portable.
Each morning at feeding time tho
coop Is moved a dlstanco equal to Its
length, to glvo a clean floor for tho
chicks. Whcro tho coop Is plnced In
nn orchard or grove it servos a doublo
purpose, for, besides accommodating
tho chickens, It onrlcheB tho soil. A
'oop largo enough for thirty broilers
should bo thrco feet wldo, six feet long,
two feet high at tho back und three
feet high ut tho front, with threa
loosts running lengthwise. Tho yard
should bo made of throo hurdles, two
12 feet long nnd 18 luchos high, ono
six foot wldo, and a largo hurdle to
cover tho top to keop tho chicks from
flying over.

Tho only breed of ducks that can lay

tho Cuyuga, but, strange to say, It lul

It Is the smallest of all tho market
