VITAMIN G NEEDED ? IN POULTRY FEED Green Leaves, Milk Products Get Eggs That Hatch. Vitamin G, one of the more recent ly discovered vitamins. Is of great Im portance In poultry rations, says A. T. Hlngrose of the New York State Col lege of Agriculture. Experiments which are being con ducted at the college show that the presence of this vitamin In the ration of the young chick reduces losses by death, and 'promotes growth ; In the ration of the laying hen, It aids In the production of eggs that will hatch. Mr. Itlngrose says that In experi ments with laying hens on rations low In vitamin G, few eggs hatch, or less than 10 per cent of the fertile eggs. Eggs from hens that are few enough vitamin G hatch 70 per cent or more. Green, leafy alfalfa; milk and milk products are the most practical sources of the vitamin, he says. Dried sklmmllk and butter milk are of equol value, and dried whey, or milk-sugar feed Is one and a half times richer In the vitamin than dried sklmmllk. However, he points out that olfalfn is only one half as rich In vitamin G as Is milk and that it Is fibrous and slightly unpalatable, ond for these reasons should not be used as the only vitamin G supplement. For production of hatehable eggs, Mr. IUngrose says that 10 per cent of dried sklmmllk In the breeder mash will supply enough vitamin G. When alfalfa Is added, the quantity of milk may be reduced. The same proportion of dried skim milk In the feed mixture, he ca. s. will supply the needed vitamin G for grow ing chicks. Advises Count Chickens Before They Are Hatched Contrary to the old maxim "Don't count your chickens before they hatch," Dr. Morley A. .lull, In charge of the United States Department of Agriculture poultry research, advises poultrymen to do that very thing, and do It Intelligently. Poultry research and practical experience have deter mined the methods required to insure a high proportion of hatehable eggs and the hatching procedure that will get the best results from good eggs. By applying these methods It Is pos sible to makp a reasonably accurate estimate of results to be expected. Doctor Jull lists the factors on which the poultryman should base his counting In advance of hatching. ..They are: (1) Tako care in mating, birds to assure good fertility; (2) feed the breeding stock on a well-bal anced diet that favors production r.f hatehable eggs; (3) carefully select the eggs for hatching, rejecting small eggs, oversized eggs, and Irregularly shaped eggs; (4) provide a reliable In cubator, place the eggs In the troys correctly and turn them frequently. With such precautions hatching Is not much of a gamble. Early Winter Molt Pullets that go Into winter quarters early and lay heavily often go fnto a winter molt and check production. It Is the careful poultryman who enn keep them going throughout the win ter without pause. Early hatching has become common among the commercial poultrymen. and It Is not uncommon now to see pullets In lute summer In W) per cent production, some hatched last December and January. These pullets lay heavily In the fall and early winter when prices are highest. ? Ohio Farmer. Laying Conditions It Is comparatively easy to deter mine laying conditions. The comb of n laying hen Is bright red and enlarged. The eye Is bright ond gives the head an appearance of alertness. The vent Is enlarged, soft, pliable, and free from yellow color. The pin bones are spread apart, and there Is considerable depth between the pin bones and the rear of the keel bone. The abdominal re gion of ft loying hon Is wider than of a nonloylng hen. Poultry Needs Sunshine The best source of vitamin D Is the ultra-violet rn.vs of sunshine. If plenty of It Is available. It Is especially Im portant thot the sun strikes the heads and feet of the birds. To make the most of the winter sunshine the poul try house windows should be open on sunny days. There must be enough windows open so the birds con get Into the sunshine without crowding. One open rrlndow In a poultry house does not provide enough light to supply the amount that Is really needed. Wheat aa Feed Wheat Is regarded by many feed ex perts as the best staple grain for pou try and where egg production Is the main object It Is undoubtedly of first Importance. There are two main classes of wheat, the hard wheats with high nitrogen content, and the soft, starchy grains, generally a third lower In nitrogen. It Is claimed that a hard wheat with a gluten content of from 12 to 1? per cent Is a better flaah former gnd egg producer than la a toft, utarchy wheat. ?jrV' M 1 ' Here's Newest on Fashion's Program By CHERIE NICHOLAS /""\F ALL fascinating pastimes among style-minded women, there Is none more so than that of prying Into the secrets of changeable, tickle Dame Fashion. Here's the latest move of that capricious arbiter of the mode, namely, whereas shoulder lines have been occupying front-page space In fashion's n<nva columns, henceforth hlpUne8 are going to compete for like h nors. That same enthusiasm with which designers have been playing up unique and attractive shoulder-line treatments is shifting this season In the direction of designful and accented hlpllne ef I fects. In consequence of which the newest frocks, likewise two-piece suits, are flaunting the most pert and au dacious little flanges and flares Imagi nation can devise. For the most part they call them peplums. So, please to remember peplum's the word when It comes to the smart silhouette for the Immediate future. The real news about peplums which should be kept In mind when you go touring the shops for a mldseason frock or an early spring suit Is that the smartest models on the boards, are those made with a peplum. See, in proof thereof, the good-look Ing two-piece dress which the young woman seated In the picture Is wear ing. Note the circular-cut peplum which flares out atop a slim straight skirt. It is an up-to-the-minute style i detail. The large - In - the - armhole sleeves also register 100 per cent chic. C.reen wool crepe Is the material for this modish two-piece with a brown \ velvet for the wide crush belt and chok er collar. I Another number on the new program BLACK SUIT USEFUL IN ANY WARDROBE No matter how large and Important your wardrobe may be, you'll find that there Is a constant use for a black fur-trimmed suit. The suit of black cloth or woolen with plenty of black I'erslan lamb or caracul is grand for those who have to be out all day, and It Is only a mat ter of a change of blouse to make It fit for dinner wear. One shop shows the same suit with different blouse, a simple shirtwaist of white satin, a dressy crepe and then a tunic of whito and gold lame, so that It can be worn for lunch, aft ernoon tea and bridge and then on to dinner with perfect assurance. Backward Draping on New Coats for Early Spring Coats made of soft wool for mid seiison and early spring wear are de signed on slender fitted lines with large fur collars draped backwards. Their sleeves, often enlarged at the top, show n tendency to backward draping between the shoulder and elbow. Linings of contrasting color oc caslonally appear. One unfurred model of gray green wool Is lined In dark green satin and worn with an afternoon frock of the same shad*. Gold Jewnlry (lold Is a high favorite for the simple close fitting necklets which go with the high necked frocks. Tiny gold pyramids fastened on a nnrrow bib of net make one striking necklet Ynir-Rnund V?lv?t Velvet has become a year-round fab ric and the new cords, dlngonals, tweeds and capelike velvets are as practical for summer wear as they are for fall and winter. N?w Searfi Black velvet scarfs tied close to the throat and anchored In place with a shimmering diamond brooch appear as a smart finish to black wool and crepe >Ocks. \ hlch Is being played lip most dramat Ically, yet In ways conspicuously novel and out-of-the-ordlnary Is the scarf. The latest gesture of fashion Is the coat, suit or ensemble which has a gen erous scarf of self-material which la made to "do tricks" according to the whim of Us wearer. We are pictur ing Just such a model to the right In the Illustration. This stunning coat Is one of several Schiaparelll costumes ordered In I'arls by Duchess d'Ayen, who recently visited In America. Note the wide tucks which border each side of this scarf. The fact jthat corre sponding tucks trim thp flleeves Is sig nificant, in that a most important step In the new scheme of things is to styl ize the scarf with the self-same trim ming treatment as the rest of the cos tume, so that It becomes an Integral part of the coat or dress, as the case I may be. | Frequently, scarfs of material | match*'*' to the coats they trim are so fashioned as to permit lapping them over and buttoning In smart gilet effect, which at front-view gives the Impres sion of a two-piece garment since the scarf drops down over the skirt por tion and Is belted In like a blouse. There Is no doubt but what the fur less coat will stand forth conspicu ously this spring. It may be collar less or not, but In either event, Bome sort of a scarf Is Inevitable., , Particu larly In evidence will be the scarfs of matching woolen, or If not that, then of some one or other of the new In triguing novelty woolen weaves. It la this type of scarf which Is being In sisted upon for the forthcoming sports coat or suit. ' ?. 1934. Western Nowapaper Union.

' I Ai i K beauty world Is nt war again? oh. not a very serious war ? but Just enough to make It very, very In teresting. T.here are some that feel i the whole toorld Is reducing, others ' that say curves are In vogue. In fact. J the latter group contends thai reduc- ] lng ended when the Empress Eugenie | hat started. Whether or not the bread 1 and butter loaf Is to replace the let- 1 tuce leaf only time will tell. Time \ changes, women with It. and fashion ! Is more fickle than the femme. My personal opinion Is that women > are becoming quite, quite sane In the business of fashioning the figure. Yes. some have gone to the extreme In at tempting to achieve syiph-llke propor- j tlons. With the boyish, flapper form as the result. But, happily, they are ' comparatively few. And certain It Is too that the South Afrlcnn type of beauty Is pronounced "far too fat" by ( Americans. Slender hips, and squatting to keep them trim, arc still in vogue. Scrawny shoulders and chests are taking on some human flesh and better feminine ! form- thereby. Women will soon be the normal I healthy and beautiful specimens that Nature plus Art can make them. And hnw is this new beauty to be achieved? As far as the figure Is concerned, there's one magic word : "exercise." More and more women are squatting and twisting and arm-swinging their figures Into flattering proportions. For though chest and shoulders take on the needed padding, abdomens must re main flat and hips trim. You can. If you wish, massage arms and shoulders with n fattening cream to encourage the rounded pads to form, or slap hip bulges Into shape with camphor and alcohol solution. But in themselves these mediums cannot work magic. Only when accompanied by exerciso are they resiiltful. Which side are yon on ? stout, thin or Just right happy and healthy norm? I had a letter a few days ago from a woman who told me that Iter friend had reduced a great deal of weight by the thyroid glnnd treatments, and so she was going to have them too. The treatments may have been splen did for her friend, but that Is no In dication that she needs them. Only a reputable physician after a very care ful physical examination should rec ommend nnd administer any glandular treatments. ? ? ? EXPERT DISCUSSES kOUGE ROUOE Is such an important factor In the make-up ensemble. Used properly, In the right shade and blend ed cleverly It rtin soften hard lines, make contour defects less apparent and enhance one's natural color and sparkle and that look that savs "T'm alive ? and glad to he." Properly applied rouge can make your make-up and make you more al luring, Interesting. But? poorly ap plied. It had better be left off entirely. Before choosing your rouge decide whether you wish a liquid, cream or compact rouge. Also mnke sure that the color you choose Is right. There are three types of rouge ? liquid, cream or paste, and dry or com pact rouge. Each has its advantages. The liquid stays on longest. But It Is most difficult to use. Cream or paste ronge is not drying, blends more easily than liquid ronge. and gives a warmer, "under the skin" quality that comes closest to natural color. Take a wee bit on the middle finger And dab it on near the cheek hone where your natural color Is. Now blend with another finger ? upward and outward along the natural color area. Ttememher that a little In enough, ft Is better to start with too little and add a hit than to start with too much and attempt to tone down the color. That Is too difficult. Remember, too. that too much rouge will make the face look harder and older, lust as sharp edges will. Botige placed too low on the cheek has the same effect. Keep It hanging hltrh. Compact rouge, with which we are all familiar. Is simplest to apply ? and Is used to "touch up" the make-up. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on choosing the rleht shade. With so many colors offered- -with rou???s rnnir Intr from a Ilirht coral to a deep ver million, with make tip experts and beauty savants ready to help, there Is no reason why every woman should not have her own shade of rontre. After exercising or after patting the skin with tonic von can tell where your color naturally appenrs, hut also your own color tone. I have found that cream rouge Is easiest to blend, and gives the most natural, delicate and warm effect. Ov? r It lightly blend powder, patting and blending. l>o not rub. Then ap ply your lip paste or lipstick and re member that cream rottgi* for cheeks nnd make up for lips should harmon ise exactly. That is one of the Impor tant rules of make up.

Experiments have been carried out over a period of years In a Swiss clinical Institute, and now the Pas teur Institute in Paris is testing the Btrangest cure of all ? snake venom. There are scientists who believe that the world's poisonous snakes, which have killed millions of people In the past, may save millions more In the future, once we understand how to use their venom properly In the treatment of disease. Already some remarkable cures are on record. About the beginning of this century, when plague was raging In India, a police sergeant, In the last stage of collapse from the dread disease, was given an Injection of cobra venom. No one expected him to live, but In a month he was back at duty. The cobra had saved his life. The treatment, however, was not tested on a large scale. Partly the attitude of the natives, many of whom believed that patients taken to the plague camps were put to death, may have been responsible for this. Partly it was due to the fact that the action of the venom was uncertain, and that, as a cure, It might easily be more deadly than the disease. This Is because, like other smki venoms, thnt of the cobra consists of a collection of powerful poisons, and an Injection of It causes reactions much more complex than those set up by a dose of any of the simple poisons which are used In medicine. Before It can be used In the treat ment of disease, therefore, many au thorities believe that the various ele ments of the venom should be sep arated and standardized, and their action carefully studied. The scien tists of the Pasteur Institute, how ever. are no doubt alive to the dan gers, and will proceed carefully. Lost Twice "I've had bad luck with both my wives."
