EXPERIENCE OF THOSE WHO RAISE

HEAD OF GREAT INSTITUTION
J y,
A llttlo silk goos a long way when
It Is milled four times about a full
skirt of cropo or chiffon. Tho com
bination is a favorite which achieves
now triumphs in this elegnnt after
noon frock, it has several small pe
culiarities that give it o flavor entire
ly out of the ordinary. One of them
1b evident in tho bodice, which looks
like a coatee of Mlk wih drop shoul
ders, and another appears in the full
ness of tho corded ruffle and tho way
in which thoy are set on in two groups.
Between these groups, hardly discern
ible In tho picture, ther is an added
decoration. Dow-knot lr.otifs of nar
row black laco insertion are set to
the underside of the chiffon, since
fashion refuses to countenanco a lack
of ornament where there is siiace to
carry it.
Tho coateo, or bodice, has a V
shaped neck and fasten r) to ono sido
in double-breasted effect. Its peplum
is a more plaited frill at the sides and
back headed by n narrow bolt of tho
silk which does not extend across tho
front. There are fou small prettily
decorated buttons of class at tho
front. Tho Bleovos of chiffon are long
full puffs that reach below tho elbow
and they are sot into p wido flaring
cuff finished with a ruche It will bo
Admits of Quick
For a modoratoly abundant supply
of natural hair tho coiffure pictured
abovo is a pretty arrangoment that
may bo dressed without tho help of a
foundation. Tho front hair is waved
rath or loosely for it, and pompadoured.
All the hair is combed in together and
brought to the crown, rrhero It is tied
loosely. With tho comb It is pulled
Into position about tho face and pinned
with small wiro hairpins.
Tho ends at tho crown aro turned
into u puff and pinned down. Tho hair
is then spread and pulled forward un
til it merges Into tho pompadour,
whero It Is held In ?laco with pins,
making a long soft putt at tho top of
tho crown.
Having becomo accustomed to in
novations a few now arrangements
have found following among tho
younger womon. In theso the hair is
loosoly waved, parted either in tho
middle or to ono side, and collod bo
low tho crown In Hat colls pinned close
to the head. Short curls are pinned
yVa L
noticed that they aro snaped to bag
over tho elbow and that tho cuff is
cut to correspond with this shape.
The narrow ruffles aro mado to
stand out from the skirt by tho cord
ing at their hems, and tbey are fulled
over a cord also. Tho frock Is slmplo
but original, showing an Ingenious
handling of the modes It presents
many advantages to tho woman who
may wish to remodol a dress mado of
a thin material, as volhi, organdio or
marquisette. The small coateo of taf
feta and tho taffc.a rufllnp will go well
with these and with heavier materials,
or tho finer laco llouncmgs may bo
used for tho skirt.
Ituchcs of tnuV.a frayen out at tho
edges are used on many new models
i gowns and coats and on negligees.
In light-colored changeable taffeta
tho effect Is vciy pretty when tho
edges aro frayed and tho box-plalted
ruchlng mado very full.
Other silk will servo lor coateo and
ruffles in making a frock like tho one
pictured. The corded edges will give
the right set to tho ruffles, oven In a
soft silk or satin. In cast; ono wishes
to use a material of this kind already
on hand. Dut if ;ow material Is to be
bought it might as well be taffeta; Its
crlspnoss is an advantage
Hairdressing
in the colls at the sides or at tho
back. Thoy reach to tho napo of tho
neck.
Tho small foundation or cushion
mado of hair Is a very practical help
in hairdressing. Now switches mado
in three parts provo very useful, ulso,
as they aro separable and tho separate
strands may bo pinned In wherever re
quired. Better results como from using
small hair pieces rather than too
much, eveij whon the natural hair Is
thin. A llttlo additional hair, If per
fectly matched, makes tho possessor
ready for any occasion. Tho advan
tage of tho hair foundation rests in
tho fact that It kcops tho hair in plnco
by supporting tho coiffure.

WHEN DODD DEFIED 4,000
Col. Georgo A. Dodd, tho leader ot
tho cavalry detachment which rodo C5
miles in 17 hours and smashed Villa's
command near Guerrero, gave Now
York city, back in 1897, a glimpso ot
his determined cliaractor. A military
carnival had been arranged and tho
government consented to Bend to it
Troop F of tho Third U. S. cavalry,
famous for Its startling feats of horse
manship, which was commanded by
Captain Dodd. General Miles ordered
Captain Dodd to proceed to Madison
Square garden with his men from their
quarters at Fort Ethan Allen,
But as soon as public announce
ment was mado that Captain Dodd
vould bo accorded a public reception
on Sunday with a military escort, tho
Uocloty for tho Observance of tho Sab

stato law prohibited parades on Sun
day. Goneral Carroll telegraphed to
Captain Dodd that tho pollco might interfero with his troop's parading.
"How many policemen aro there in town?" Captain Dodd wired to General
Carroll.
"Four thousand," was tho telegraphic response.
"Wo havo 62 men in Troop F,"
Dodd. "Wo will report in MadlBon Square garden on Sunday morning."

about a work for which Bho asked

This young woman was Mlsa Caro

In order to securo tho benefit of tho
practical experience of thoso who raiBO
squabs for profit, both on a largo
scalo and In Binnll lots, tho poultry
Investigations branch of tho United
States department ot agriculture ad
dressed a list of questions to a largo
number of brooders. Tho pigeon
breeders showed a good spirit of co
operation and 22 breedorn who keep
from 300 to 2,200 pigeons, nnd a largo
number of thoso who ftocp less than
300 pigeons nnsvorod the questions.
Tho following summary of tho ropllos
Is takon from Farmers' Bulletin No.
684, "Squab Raising."
Tho largo brccdors roportod keeping
tho Homer and Carncaux varieties
almost exclusively for squab raising,
with a comparatively small number of
tho Dragon, Maltoso Hen, and Whlto
King mentioned. All excopt ono brood

birds wero mated at from flvo to aovon
months old, tho nvcrngo mating ago
bolng C.7 months.
Wheat, corn, kaflr corn, Canada
peas, millet, and hemp woro tho grains
most commonly fed, whllo a number of
other grains, Including peanuts, grass
seed, oats, buckwheat, sunflower seed,
rlco, Egyptian corn, cowpeas, nnd mllo
malzo wcro also used. About one-half
of tho breeders roportod tho uso of
somo kind of green feed, Including a
wldo rnngo of such material, Tho
uso of rock salt was roportod by one
half of tho breeders, looso tablo salt
by one-fourth, and tablo salt baked Into
a hard lump by tho rost. About. 1G
per cent used Bomo oxtra food, such as
millet or hemp seed, during tho molt

Runt Cross,
moltsuppllod theso grains in tholr reg
ular rations. One-third used hoppors
In feeding tho plgoons,
About ono-hnlf supplied tobacco
atoms as tho entlro or for part of tho
nesting material, and hay and straw
wero commonly used, whllo others
used plno needles, cut pen-vines, and
alfalfa stems. Ono-half reported freo
lorn from all discasos and about one
fourth gavo canker as a common cause
Df sickness.
Tho avorngo onnunl profit per pair
3f breeders varied from 32 cents to $ 3,
and averaged $1.62; tho feod cost from
95 cents to $2, with an avorago of
$1.3V All sold squabs for market. Tho
average price for tho year received per
lozen squabs varlod from $2 to $4,02,
and averaged $3.43.
Tho number of squabs marketed
from each pair of pigeons varied from
10 to 20, and averaged 13.1; tho weight
p& dozen squabs varied from l to 11
pounds, and averaged 9 pounds. Squabs
were marketed at four weeks, except
from two farms, where tho avcrngo
ago of markotlng was given as four
and ono-half weeks.
Data Secured From 8mall Breeders.
A largo number of roplles wcro re
:elvo(l from breeders who kept less
than 300 pigeons. Tholr answers In
general agreed with thoso from tho
large pigeon breeders, although thoy
wero moro varied. Many farmers ob
jected to plgoons, claiming that thoy
carried diseases and all kinds of ver

tho pigeons wero beneficial to tho

Other varieties of pigeons men

"All grains should bo fed in a deep
litter." says Mr. Harris. "Oat straw
or alfalfa hay is good for this purpose
Hons should bo fod liberally but should
not bo fed until thoy aro willing to
work for their food."
There is nn old-timo fallacy that n
hon can hocomo too fat to lay. Ex
periments havo been carried on to do
tormlno tho laying ability of fat and
lean hens, and in every instanco tho
fat hens have outlaid tho lean ones.
Tho egg begins its formation with tho
yolk, which Is practically all fat, nnd
so- it Is absolutely csBontlnl that a hon
havo oxcess fat beforo eggs aro
formed. A hen docs not ceaso laying
from an ovorsupply of fat, in tho opin
ion of Mr. Harris, but becnuao her lega
and liver arp not working to tholr full
