DUCH OF GREEN OR YELLOW 1
ther Color Is Popular With Those
Who Want Just a Touoh to Re
lieve Somberness.
Have you noticed how many of
ose who want a note of color with
Ir navy blue and white and black
d white effects, have chosen yellow
green ?
lust now perhaps, any other choice
•uld seem a little banal. One girl
10 was wearing a modish dark blue
armeuse had the dark blue feather, |
zily swirling around her hat of ; :
est block pedal straw, punctuated i
sry here and there with roses or
id orange. It sounds startling, but
j effect was elegant.
\nother girl gowned also In dark ,
e charmeuse, wore a hat of straw
the same shade, around which were
mtlfully arranged feathers of a
ely jade green. It Is just that par
ilar green that one seems to want
h the dark blue frock just now.
2 amber necklace and the jade
klace are the color notes one sees
! admires frequently.
SERGE COSTUME.
lis Is a useful costume of navy
serge. The skirt has a prettily .
>ed panel with two buttons each 1
of the lower part,
le little loose coat has collar, re
and cuffs of white cloth,
at of dark blue Tagel, trimmed
a white feather mount,
aterials required for the costume:
. yards 46 inches wide, one-quar
vard 40-inch cloth, six buttons.

TASTES IN PERFUMES
BTRONQ SCENTS ARE NOT CON
SIDERED GOOD FORM.
Some Subtle Fraopance, However,
Every Woman Bhould Convey—
Many of Them Are Nerve
Stimulants and Healthy.
The first perfume came to us In the
flowers. The perfumer, like the mu
sician and the painter, tries to copy
nature to pleaso the senses of man.
The first to discover the art of per
fumery were the natives of the Orient.
Their* ancient civilization was not
alone responsible for this. These na- i
tlons cultivate all things which delight ]
the senses. The taste lu perfume j ]
among various races differs exceed- ; i
lngly. I 1
The first perfume was obtained by
burning aromatic gums and woods. :
The word Itself is derived from "per," i
through, and "fuming," smoke. j
Pefumery was studied by the vari
ous nations which in turn held the
scepter of civilization.
The Hebrews when in captivity ■
learned the art from the Egyptians; j
the Romans from the Greeks, and the j
western nations from the Romans. j
With the fall of Rome the art was for- j
gotten, and was rediscovered during
the conquests of the crusaders In the
far east
The excessive use of perfume by
refined people In Europe during the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries was
to counteract the unpleasant odors
which abounded in those days.
Women of today display a refined
taste In the use of perfumes, while
their fore-mothers used musk, civet j
and lavender.
The progress In the art of perfum
ery is perhaps the cause of this The
perfumer of today is constantly seek
ing to wrest new secrets from nature.
Hardly a flower grows that has not
had Its scent reproduced.
Strong perfumes are not considered
in good taste in these days. The deli
cate, subtle fragrance Is the one pre
ferred.
Many scents are nerve stimulants
and health givers. Every woman has
her glass bottle of lavender salts, so
refreshing when tired or suffering
from a headache.
France and England lead the world
today in the manufacture of perfumes.
Each woman chooses her own beau
tiful scent and envelopes her belong
ings In It. Garments, laces, notepa
per and even books exhale this deli
cate fragrance.
At present the fad for scent bottles
and pomanders, worn about the neck
upon long chains, is in high favor.
These are in silver in antique de
sign and incrusted with semiprecious
stones. ,
More elaborate »nes of gold dupli
cates of those ivnrii by court ladies
during the reign of Louts XV. may be
had; but they are rather expensive. Of
rococo design and set with jewels,
they are wonderfully beautiful.
Pomanders or perfume balls of the
seventeenth century are less expen
sive.
These come in many designs. Gold
ones, representing oranges and heart
shaped designs in filigree work, read
ily allow the scent to escape. Others
are snail shaped or fashioned to rep
resent English walnuts or tiny spheres
carved and adorned with Jewels.
The woman who keeps apace with
the times must purchase a scent bot
tle.

Color Scheme.
A very good color scheme for a
living room is In all the varying
shades of brown, with now and then
a touch of orange to brighten It,
says Needlecraft. The floor should
be given the darkest shade of brown,
the walls a medium tone and the cell- ;
lng a cream shade. The furniture of
this room could be of the best va
riety of mission, the rugs oriental I
with plenty of orange or red In them,
and the curtains should have a de- t
cided golden tint, as the light shin
ing through them is very beautiful
against brown. A touch of yellow
might be given In a couch pillow and
lamp shade.
New Linings.
The newest linings fop top coats
are those of the Jouy taffeta. This
fabric, with Its pretty design, is en- ,
tirely too effective to be concealed as
lining, and is therefore allowed to
show Itself in the collar, revers, cults
And trimming. The tints in the Jouy
taffeta are quite as soft and well j
blended a: in the cretonnes with
| irhlob we have lonf been familiar. .

CONSTRUCTION OF TRAP NEST
Without Use of Device Results From
Individuals of Any Flock Must
Be Uncertain.
(By J. L. JONES, Mechanical Engineer, ,
Oklahoma Experiment Station.)
It is not necessary to dwell on the
advantages of using trap nests. The
primary object Is to develop a heavy
laying strain. It has been found by
the use of trap nests that the number
of eggs laid per hen in an average
flock varies from 40 to 245. Without
using trap nests, the results from
such a flock would be uncertain and
probably unsatisfactory. It is the ob
g"-'|| ||

Bank of Trap Nests.
Ject of the poultryman to breed and
build up the strain which luys the
heaviest, by breeding to the heavy
producers.
For fanciers, the trap nest is indis
pensable on account of the fact that
In the ordinary pen there are from six
to twelve females to one male If
trap nests are used, and there are
as many as there are females in the
pen, it is possible to distinguish each
hen's eggs, while if the trap nests are
not used, this is impossible.
The use of trap nests goes far to
prevent tho hens forming tho habit of
egg-eating. They are likely to form
this habit if kept in limited quarters.
If so they are probably not given
the very best food, and probably not
enough of it, especially animal food.
The accompanying drawings of a
bank of trap nests are almost self ex
planatory. The nests are built with
out any top or bottom. The hen en
ters through the back of the nest,
brushing under the hanging wire,
which releases the door. She then
passes onto the next compartment
toward the front end. To inspect the
nest and to remove the hen, ascertain
her number, and secure the eggs, the
front door is simply unbuttoned and
let down. It will be noticed that the
two doors are fastened together wtih
a cord, so that when the front door

is let down, the trap is automatically
set again. The hen will find it diffi
cult to leave through the back door
at this time, as the hanging wire per
mits her togo one way only. These
are so simple that in making them in
almost any quantity, the material
should not cost over 15 cents, at most,
per trap nest.
SOME FACTS ABOUT TURKEYS
One Sensible Thing Is to Keep Best
Birds for Breeding ar»d Send
Others to Market.
Turkeys kept for breeding stock
should be the best that there is in the
flock. It is difficult for some people
to keep their best turkeys and
send the others to market, but it's the
only sensible way to do. The habit of
selling the best is not characteristic
of only the least intelligent people; it
is common with the people who have
raised turkeys all their lives, and
people who would not think of
breeding other stock of the farm
In such a careless way. These
people have attained the success
and profits in turkey raising that are
enjoyed by the man who handles them
as fairly as he does his cows and
hogs.
i The best care in the world can do
little with poorly bred poults and
| turkey chicks. You cannot expect
! large turkeys from small breeders.
Size is not the only thing to be con
sidered in selecting the stock; thrift,
and firmness have as much to do with
the choice as the size; big, well-built
bodies and legs to be desired
also.
And on top of all, do not ruin the
vigor of your struin by too early
breeding.
Fresh Air Is Needed.
Fowls are obliged to throw off mucti
of the waste of the body through the
lungs. They do not sweat In the
sense that do other animals, but In
stead breathe several times faster
than sweating animals when heated.
To_keep In god health a hen requires
1 nearly seven times the amount of
fresh air In proportion to Its size as
does a horse.
Difference in Strains.
There Is almost as much difference
between different families or strains
of each breed, as between the differ
i ent breeds. Therefore, receive with
1 dome allowance the praise or con
demnation of any breed.
1
Poultry and eggs are high every
winter. i
I All poultry yards should have shade
in them.
Movable, separate nest boxes are
the only kind to have.
Three months should bring a broll
' er to the market stage.
Ducks do not stand confinement
well. Better turn 'em loose.
The care of the fowls is one of the
important things that cannot be neg
lected.
Exposure to hot weather is as dan
gerous to the egg crop as Is exposure
to cold weather,
j Keep the dropping-boards clean and
i free from filth. They should be fre- |
| quently scrubbed.
The poultryman must keep every
thing clean and sweet about the
j houses and yards.
| Linseed meal is good to mix with
the mash during moulting season. It
helps digestion and regulates the
bowels.
The average farm poultryman cares
| more for the number of eggs a hen j
lays in a year than the number of I
prizes she wins at the shows.
Rough timber used in the poultry
j house makes the best harbor for lice. !
Perches, nests, etc., should be made !
of smooth lumber in all cases.
For roup, try putting a few drops of ;
| carbolic acid on a hot fire shovel and
| then fumigate the poultry houses
J with fowls in it. Keep houses dry.

'INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS EXCEL
Sometimes Called E&g Machines and
Also Afford Additional Value by
Their Feathera.
Although the Indian Runnera are
sometimes called egg machines, we
find they are of additional value for
feathers, by picking them at moulting
time, thus saving the feathers; and
also preventing them from being scat
j tered over their lots or run, &ays a
writer In an exchange.
While they are great foragers in
search of food, they never fail to re
turn home at night.
Taking everything Into considera
tion, there- is certainly no other fowl

that affords greater profit for th*
time and expense required than the
Indian Runner duck; and they are
not alone an all-round practical fowl,
but ornamental as well. Their alert,
lively nature, their graceful form;
beautiful colors and interesting
liablts appeal to the artistic sense of
every one.
The work alone In raising them la
very interesting, because It is easy,
clean and honorable, and, above all,
there is big profits In it, which is the
greatest incentive to all business.
SOME SYSTEM IS NECESSARY
Poultrymen Should Keep Books, Same
as in Any Other Line of Business
—lt Stops Leaks.
Poultry keeping Is a business
and should be conducted along j
business lines. Rome system of j
accounting is necessary. The poul- ,
trymati should keep records of all
the Income and expenses of his busi
ness in order to know whether It Is a
paying proposition or not. If it does
not pay he should know it and either |
stop the leak or go out of business.
An elaborate system of bookkeeping
Is not necessary. If the poultryman j
wishes to avoid keeping full accounts '
lie can at least keep a cash account.
I This doeß not express the exact flnan
j cial condition of the business, but Is
an excellent help so far as it goes.
