Nearly every sort of material, ex- cept that which is very thin, can b« used for covering cushions. Figured cretonnes and denim make pretty cov- erings, and the pattern or design will furnish all the decoration needed. Silk or cotton mate-rials having bright stripes in one or more colors are also desirable.

Third, if the material is at all musty or very dusty it must not be used at all, or serious respiratory troubles will re- sult. The heater stove should be run for a day or two before the chicks are put in, to be sure that the resrulators are in good order. The temperature under the hovers should start at 100 dog. F., and be gradually lowered after the first week, until at eight to ten weeks the heat is eliminated. It Is a good plan to leave the stove up, with a fire laid, in case a spall of cold weather or rain demands heat in a hurry. For the flrst few dayr-, enclose the chicks by a ring of poultry-wire (half- inch mesh) at least one foot high, placed IS' inches from the edge of the hover. When the chdcks have learned the source of heat, this can be remov- ed. It is advisable to round out the corners of the house with wire or building-paper, to prevent crowding there. The stove should be shaken down and cleaned out every morning, and inspected to see if it needs more coal Into in the afternoon. Do not fool with the stove at night. When the temperature is right, the chicks will run out from the hover to eat and scratch, and run back to get warm. At night they will sleep in a ring some distance out from the stove, and under the hover. Their actions are a better guide to the experienced poultryman than a thermometer. Baby chicks should receive no .solid food until two days old. It takes that plenty of exerci.se, are important fac tors in controlling toe pecking, can- nibalism, and other results of idleness and overcrowding.

Maldng confetti is a new employ- ment for the little fingers which need to be kept busy. Save the colored pa- pers which conie into the house â€" wrap- ping paper, envelopes, pictures, cir- culars, even yellow paper bags. Then when the usual amusements fail, get a large shallow box or spread a news- paper on the floor or bed, get the blunt scissors and the supply of gay paper and start a confetti factory.
