H'lblts and Requirements of this Val-
uable Fur Bearer—Successfully
Reared in Confinement
One of the first American fur bear-
ers to be tested as to Its fitness for
domestication was the mink, an anl
mal which has long been renowned
for the beauty and durability of Its
fur. It is found wild throughout Can-
ada, Alaska, and all but the arid
southwestern portion of the United
States. The mink has been bred In
confinement, sporadically, for upward
of HO years; but only recently, since
•t has become quite scarce in the wild
state and the value of Its pelt corres-
pondingly increased, has a general
and systematic attempt been made to
add It to our stock of domestic ani-
mals.
There are no less than ten variet-
ies of minks In North America, be-
sides several others in Asia and Eu-
rope, which differ from one another
in size, color, and softness of fur. By
this it Is evident that the mink is a
plastic animal, capable of being mold-
ed into Improved strains by selective
breeding, a very important quality for
animals that are to be domesticated.
There Is, Indeed every reason to be-
lieve that by beginning with the two
or three largest, darkest, and finest
furred kinds of wild mink, an animal
eventually can he produced much su-
perior to any of those now existing.
At first it was quite difficult to pro-
cure breeding stock. Wild minks were
ocarce, and of the few that wete
caught a largo portion soon tiled from
injuries or exposure. Lately, however,
it has been possible to buy ranch-
raised minks, which are preferable to
wild stock, being better contented and
less likely to be infested with internal
parasites.
Although habitually carnivorous
when wild, minks quickly learn to eat
many things not on their regular bill
of fare. A litter of young ones taken
from their mother when six weeks old
and raised with a kitten of the same
ago developed rapidly on a cooked ra-
t'on consisting of oat meal, corn meal,
and rice, with a small portion of beef
that had been boiled and ground. At
first they were fed exclusively on
milk, and this was used to some ex-
tent throughout an experiment last
lng a year. Steady growth, verlle ac-
tivity, and thick coats of fur charac-
terized every one of them. While It is
thus evident that minks can be fed on
a diet that consists largely of vege-
table matter, it has also been demon-
strated that they can be kept equally
veil on raw meat, or meat snd fish.
The kind of food is of much less Im-
portance than Its condition. Meat that
has begun to decay nr that has been
derived from diseased animals should
not be used. Horse flesh, chicken
heads, or other inexpensive meat,
when obtainable, can he fed with less
labor than cereals. Minks are fond
of sweet milk, and It may he ted qui'w

or cooked corrals.

Importance of Right Feed
Iii extreme cases the odor of the
fed has been imparted to egg* Onions
fed in sufficient quantity will have
their effect. Freds of high and ohjec
tionable flavor should not be fed by
those who desire to produce a first
class article. In no case should taint-
ed feed be allowed to enter into the
ration. Feed also has an influence
on the color of the yolk. A fairly high
colored yolk is usually preferred and
can generally be obtained by feeding
n moderate amount of corn. Plenty
of green feed also enriches the color
of the yolk.
Keep Irons Dry.
When flat irons are put In to heat
beads of moisture form on them In
about a minute or so. If the Irons are
then lifted and the moisture wiped off
w ith a clean dry cloth they will always
be smooth.
Eggs should always be kept dry.
Contact with wet material, or expos-
ure to moisture causes them to go bad
quickly; therefore eggs when taken
*o market should he protected from
the wet by suitable coverings.

When you some little prize have
landed by methods dark or under-
handed, your chest may swell, be-
yond all reusou, you’ll feel a vic-
tor for a season, as alecks do who
are in clover; hut when you think
the blamed thing over, you ’ll kind
o' hate the sort of winning that
calls tor trickery and sinning. And
K. L. Morse will sit beside you and
murmur softly, “Woe betide you!
1 ou've made a stain that is eter-
nal upon your record,” says the
colonel. “And so I sit me here
and prod you; far better have some
chap defraud you, than to defraud

would have a peace internal, you
must be straight,” observes the
colonel; “the coin that’s earned

DO’S AND DON’XS FOR POULTRY |
MEN.
Keep the drinking foutains in the
shade. Change the water at least once
each day and keep the vessels clean.
When the weather gets warm it is ad
visablc to give the chicks and fowls
fresh water at least twice each day.
Avoid damp brood coops. If you
are using an old coop inspect the roof
and sides carefully. A poorly construct-
ed brood coop is worthless in a heavy
rain.
Visit other poultry plants, both small
and large ones. You will get many
ideas which you never thought of. Most
poultry keepers are glad to give be
ginners information and help them
along in their work.
We advise toe marking the chicks In
irdcr to distinguish the different broods
when they grow up.
Remember the busy hen is the best

side, revealing a petticoat of whits
tulle shirred and inset with lace. About
in the matter of modes it may be, it
must be confessed that the slender
lines of some three years ago were
more elegant in tailleurs than are those
in the latest models.
A forcible illustration was seen the
other day when a clean cut young
woman, who looked more American
than Parisian, stepped briskly out from
one of the many improvised hospitals
to get into her waiting motor. Bhe
wore a strictly tailored suit of blue
serrge, the left sleeve banded with the
red cross, but the suit was a model
three years old, with the slender hip
and skirt lines of those days. Bhe left
one wondering just.why she looked so
smart until the reason that her suit
was out of date came as an explana-
tion.
Obviously, however, it is not advis-
able to be trailing so far behind the
trend of fashion. Wait with patience
and we shall see, in due time, all our
favorite modes revived, for the ‘ ‘ orig-
inations” of each season are merely
revised copies of modes from old years.
And surely the dainty frilled dresses
of 1916 are far more beautiful than the*
■cant casings of frocks that accompa-
nied the slender tailleur.
The latest style shows
in fine black serge with
of soft white broadcloth,
semi-princess style, hip
lined with the serge, spread from
either side of the princess panel;
bias insets of the broadcloth at cither
side of the bust make an occasion for
braiding in old blue. From each side
of these biases the serge is drawn back
closely to the underarm seam by folds
and the full breadths of the black and
sides of the skirt join the bodice by
rows of smocking. Additional color
in the braiding on the collar and at
the elbows, where the straight cuff's
join the upper puffs of> the sleeve, give
interest to this model.
Another attractive design, apparent-
ly in one piece, has a waist made on
Norfolk lines, tho box plaits of which
continue to tho shoe tops, growing wid-
er toward the hem. Full, straight
