IN CHIFFON TAFFETA according to directions, the waist wii! be very easy to cut out. The outer front and back (H) piece is laid on a Jength ' fold of the material, the triple perforation' of the pat- tern being parallel with the fold. The foliar and belt are also Maid on Bi ol it is best to arrange the largest sites Of the pattern near the far end of the silk, because of its unusual shape. At the space to the left of the collar the sleeve is laid on a lengthwise thread of the silk. Sleeve band (G) and vest (C) are arranged on similar lines. These detalls may seem tedious, but in just such measure as they are carried out will the waist have a professional ap- pearance when completed. After making the lining, which con- sists simply of sewing up the shoulder and under-arm seams, gathering the bottom and fitting, proceed to lay the vest of Roman striped silk upon it and the waist will be ready for the outside. Close the under-arm seams and gath- er the bottom 'nto the waist-line; then add the turn-over collar. Arrange on underbody, center-backs and under- Arm seams even; stitch lower edges together, bringing front edge of outer front to ceuter-front. Sew belt to lower edge, centers even, small "o" per- foration at under-arm seam. Front of peplum indicated by large "0" perfo rations.

His owner had brought the animal from the farm to the railway station. ' The horse was tied to the fence while a ballast train drew into the station. At this the animal took fright.

The Mutton Sheep, The testing for mutton characteris tice in the live sheep is nol an easy matter for the novice, and can only be learned by long experience in handling. A good practice is to handle and a slaughter and obsérve carefully the proportion of lean meat, fat, and general covering of the carcass. In mutton sheep the hindquarters should be well developed: ell de veloped ribs and good chest expan- sion are essentials. The frame should be well covered with firm flesh. A rubbery feeling along the back indi- eates tho presence of a desirable amount of lean meat. The vertebral column at the shoulders should not stand up prominently and marrow. The back should be wide and broad, and also the loin. The leg ' should have a full plump twist and be flesh- ed well down to the hock. When in the best eondition the flesh along the 'backbone should be of a mellow and elastic character, and the backbone should not be readily felt. Across the loin the meat should rise higher thanggthe vertebral Solumn,. which shold appear as in a depression. i The tail should be broad and well covered. Heavy masses of fat on tail are not desirable. Dark. meat ip, objectionable and pink skins are an indication of well-colored . First "Habitant" Farmen The Society 'of' St, John the Baptist of Quebec has under taken the work' of raisi funids' for 'the 'erection of a a to Louis Hebert, thé pion- eer farmer and first 'settler in Can- ada. He was one of the valiant band who accompanied Champlain to Que: bec, but unlike many others he settled oh a farm and cultivated it. Cham- plain nimself wrote in 1629 that He- bert was the first head of a family to give his main attention to farming, and to live on what the farm produc ed. Moreover, the records show that he was a highly-educated man, 1 had occupied a fine social position in Paris. In the words of the circular issued by "the society, to Louis He bert must be given the honor of be- the pioneer and the father of agri- - tare in Quebec, the noble. ancestor nadian farmers, or, to express it bet- ter in our own language, "of our ha- bitants." Summer Diseases With the advent of warm weather, poultry breeders must use every pre- caution to ward off the various dis eases which attack poultry at this season. With few exceptions, poultry diseases are preventible. In former days it was customary to connect poultry breediug and heavy mortafity due to the various diseases. In more recent times it has become known that outbreaks of disease of various kinds may be guardéd against and entirely prevented. The principal factors in disease are neglect of proper housing, common- sense feeding, and breeding from un- sound stoek. Improper housing is re sponsible for most of the diseases of the respiratory system-colds, roup, ete. The early stages are compara- tively easy to cure, but, if neglected, the condition of the birds offers no re- sistance to the inroads of the organ- isms of specific disease. It is only by maintaining a perfect state of health that the powers of resistance can be kept at normal level. Errors if feed- ing generally show their effects shape of disease of the alimentary ca- nal--the organs of digestion; stomaéh, bowels, ete. Over-feeding is as bad as under-feed- ing. The one causes as much ultimate loss as do the others. The use of too stimulating foods affects the organs of reproduction which are dependent upon and intimately connected with the di: gestive apparatus. Im * foods, such as musty or mouldy grains, sour mash, etc, all contain bacterial growths which may be pathogenic, that is, may cause disease in poultry. There may in cases of bowel trou- 'bles which have their origin in chemi- eal changes in the first instance. Diseases of a hereditary nature are many, While it is' considered that no disease is truly of a tendency, a ture, it is known that a tendency, a lack of resistance, is transmitted from parent to ' progeny. Breeders should refrain from breeding from any un- isound stock. Breeding of Dairy Cattle. Breeding from good milkers, whose parentage is known, will in: |; variably produce calves which, later on, will also give a large milk yield. Breeding from animals whose paren- tage is anknown, or which are cross- bred, must at the best, be only guesswork, and very uncertain and unsatisfactory in its resulis. We may. possess cows which are heavy milkers, yet their heifer calves may fall to possess the same desirable qualities, * As a rule, however, {t will he found that good milking cows produce equally good milking heifers, provided that they have been bred to a suitable bull. This is due to the fact that deep milkers zenerally come from good milking families, and their milk yielding capacity is an inserted quality and aot of acciden nee; for it must he, that it is not possible to feed a cow beyond her maximum. roduce butyer- mum Phat d and | of all the glorious line of Fiehch-Ca- | the | § fat--that is to say,.if a cow's maxi. by i512 Ibs. of Sle 5 FOR WHIG READERS especially new nSuctioh. eel = no turning back; are oe ra. lnd u man beating tn 4. certain of cattle would be more'/adopted to his com- ditions? With the result that years are wasted dnd he is forced to make a fresh start. Now, having decided upon the class of le he wishes to breed, he should have indelibly im- printed upon his mind the true type of a dairy cow, and breed for that t¥pe; or, in other words, to have that particular goal to aim at. The question arises: How is the breeder to attain that standard of perfection? By selecting heifers from deep-milking families, ana con- tinuing this process for a sufficient length of time the average milk- yield wil he considerably increased. Poultry Situ Situation In the year 1902 Canada exported to Great Britain eggs to the value of $1,736,242. In the year 1909, seven years Tater, exportations decreased to $124,315, in 1910 to $41,768, ae In 1911 to $24,676. The position of the egg and poul- try situation fs absolutely unique We have reduced our exports and in- creased home production, and that notwithstanding increased prices. Prices for strictly new laid eggs were «never higher than they are now, and the better quality of poultry were never higher than they have heen this winter, All this goes to show the rapidly increasing value of the home market, The rapidly increasing prices of both eggs nd poultry in recent years have doubtless" incited many to go into poultry keeping to make money. Many try, but few gét there, Successful poultry keeping exacting science. 1. If too little food is are no results, 2. If too much is given, fowls be- come too fat and result is the same; exacting because adaptability, keen observation, 'untiring perseverance afd proper appréciation of apparent- ly trifling details are indispensable to success. ..In ¢pite.of all these exaci- ing conditions, poultry keeping 1s progressing-- that is, the more profi- table sort. Bad practices of farm- ers are among the principal draw- backs. 1. Non-appreciation of strictly new-laid egg means. 2. Holding back eggs until he has sufficient to.make it worth while tak- {ing them te nifivket. 3. Keeping his fowls in ill-venti- lated and insanitary poultry houses, frequently both pen and houses are infested with disease. 4. Lack of variety of foods leads to hi Pron; soft shells, ete. .
