C. 8. PLATT M a»«c/«i# Poultif Hutbiadmia, Kutfsrs Ualwrtitjr.) In selecting breeding hens this fall, consider physical development and breed type as well as egg pro duction during the last 12 months. One of the best means of measur ing the physical development is the body weight of the birds, and in the white leghorn breed no individual that weighs less than four pounds should be considered for breeding purposes, while five pounds should be the minimum weight for hens of the heavier breeds, such as Rhode Island Red and Barred Plymouth Rock. It is likewise just as important that the eggs the birds have laid have been large enough to sell for the best prices; namely, that they have averaged better than 24 ounces to the dozen, and in addition, have been of good shell color and strong shell texture. These factors of egg quality must receive due considera tion in any selection of birds for breeding purposes.

V V H E N I made the sketch in Sewing Book 5 showing the method that our Grandmothers used for making original hooked rug designs, I forgot that Grand mother did not wear silk stockings every day. There have been doz ens of letters saying, “I would like to hook the flower designs for which you give directions in Book 5. Will you please tell me if I can use old silk stockings for these?” Silk stockings may be used for hooked rugs but they do not wear as w-ell as woolen materials. They are perfect for hooked chair pads, foot stool tops and wall hangings. All the popular stocking colors may be dyed soft green, red and brown tones, without first remov ing the tan color. “White dye” should be used first if bright colors are needed. After dyeing, cut a strip around and around the stock ing spirally, making it from % inch to 1*4 inches wide according to how fine the work is to be. When your design has been marked as described in Book 5, draw the stocking strips through the burlap with a rug hook. • • • D elicious fo r p a rtie s and pleasure . . . saves cooking time and m oney... nourishing. . . order, today, from your grocer.
