He stays with us all the year, be­ ing more frequently scon in winter than in summer, however. Then we may eften catch a glimpse of his striking costume rm he taps merrily away at tlm trunk cf a tree, never minding tho weather. He is a social little creature, seeming to like the company of other or chickadees—and of men. Downy’s back is with white, his underparts fluffy white. The sides of his hear are striped in black and white, and he has a brilli­ ant red patch at the back of the head. This is lacking in the mother bird. The tall is wedge-shaped, striped, and the wings are barred in black and white. He is smalled and fluffier than tlm haifflry woodpecker, which other­ wise he much resembles. You may sometimes find on the branches of certain kinds of trees, tiny round holes of uniform size, plac­ ed near together. These are likely to he the work of little downy's sharp biii; he finds the tender inner layer of bark a tempting dainty. An old school reader contained some verses about the woodpecker, beginning, There’s somebody knocking Hark— who can it be? It’s not at the door. No, it’s In the elm tree. “A rolling tattoo" is the expressive description one author gives the woodpecker’s drumming. We suspect he is more interested in the insects which his tapping calls out from their hiding places than in the musical ef­ fect produced. For a nest, the downy excavates a deep hole in some old tree trunk or branch, and the four to six white eggs are laid in the cavity, with no ether lining than the soft chippings and crumbled bits of the wood. to Fire !

The equipment necessary and every detail of proper packing are fully described and illus­ trated. It is pointed out in the bulle­ tin that it is also’ of great importance to handle the containers carefully after packing. When being stacked, or loaded in cars, they should notbe thrown into their place, but gently placed into position. Similar pre­ cautions’ should be exercised during all stages of distribution from-the car, through the trade to the consum­ er, in order to reduce loss from rough handling to a minimum. WEANING THE LITTERS. It is surprising, a’fter all that has been -written and said about the wean­ ing of pigs, that farmers are still to be found who will remove the litters at about four weeks of age. There may be special reasons for doing this at times when two litters a year are being raised from the same mother, but even then the practice is of doubt­ ful value. From six to eight weeks has been proved time and time again to be a more profitable age for re­ moving the young pigs from their mothers. Indeed this is the critical period in the life of the young pig, because the digestive system has not been developed sufficiently to take care of any food so well as the moth­ er’s milk. Writing from the exper­ ience of thirteen years’ experiments at the Experimental Station at La­ combe. Alberta, Mr. F. H. Reed, the Superintendent, states in Bulletin No. 73 of the Dept, of Agriculture at Ot­ tawa, that it has been definitely proven that young pigs, should be doing well having been feci in a creep pen separate from the sow before the dam is taken away. Skim milk at this period is probably the best feed for the young pigs and with this can be fed a meal mixture of oat chop made from either hulless oats or hav­ ing the hulls sifted out. This is mix­ ed with middlings’’ and bran in the proportion of 100 pounds of oatmeal, 75 pounds of middlings and 50 pounds of bran. The newly weaned pigs should 'be fed at least three times a day for the first month after wean­ ing. The main object at this time should be to keep the pigs growing and preventing any' setback. Good results could also be obtained, the bulletin states, by feeding hulless oats or sifted oat chop with skim milk, buttermilk or oil meal and tankage. Liberal space for exercise and plenty of green feed in the winter or pasture in the summer are highly recomfiiend- ed in the bulletin which.is distribut­ ed by the Publications Branch of the Department of Agriculture, at Ot­ tawa. CLEAN MILKING. Few operations on the farm require more skill and concentration than milking, which is one of the chief factors of success in dairy farming.

Farm Auction The scattered groups of men Stood in the yard at last, And drone over the words there could hear A crash of laughter now and then. And stock already sold was driven past Along the dusty lane. The auctioneer Had raised his voice again. She did not sit and weep As many women do such a time. It seemed she dered well Each waiting thing, each lonely heap, How much it seemed to her when it was new, How little here to scatter out and sell, And now how much to keep. She saw hands lifting clear The things she could not hold, And raucous laughter kept on break­ ing through Responsive to the jest and leer, Until it seemed hen very dreams were sold And she could never lose, though things were now, Cries of the auctioneer. And so the sale went on— And so the days must go.

Velvet choux are very good and buckles of gold and silver, and rhinestones' and composition appear. Gold and silver braid are also used. This is quite in' keeping with the endency to use braid for trimming on dresses. Feather fancies are employed to some extent and tufts of feathers and aigrettes are featured. These frequently appear at the side in the over-the-ear move­ ment, or at the centre front. A great deal of trimming features this centre front effect. Here we often see plac­ ed a buckle, a bow, or insets of velvet or lines of braid. * * ♦ * Be,rots, tioo, are not ' disregarded. Georgette shows one of beige velvet. She uses pin tucks to trim the crown and brings these tucks to a coolie peak at the top. Pink composition balls are posed at the right side of the small tight brim and form a pleasing contrast to the beige. Alplionslne also shows a smart beret in beige, but uses felt, which she drapes flat to the head. On the left side crossed pins give the note of trimming. From the same house is a hat of this type de­ veloped in royal blue velvet mounted on a small bandeau of belting ribbon. Another beret is from Lewis, who mounts it on a bandeau and makes it of flat, black pony fur, with a ■white fud star -inset on the crown.

Wider Sleeves, Deeper Neck­ lines, Slightly Longer Skirts and Raised Waistline Sho^K the Way. If autumn this year is not greatly different than autumn a year ago, at lea,st there are certain sartorial dis­ tinctions which will attain increasing significance as tho winter months draw near. It may be, if you were sufficiently forward looking last sea­ son, that you can muster up a fall wardrobe which can march bravely on tho^ smart urban avenues. Yet the chances are rather against you. For the new inode is distinguished by certain vital changes apparently in­ significant but nevertheless complete­ ly changing the atmosphere of fa­ shion. In a general sense there are th re a specific considerations which are bound1 to govern, the new fall and1 win­ ter fashions. Afternoon dresses will be essentially more formal, replacing to a great extent the semi-sports cos- r tumes of last year. Throughout the f entire wardrobe there will be a much “ more feminine feeling, and while thia greater femininity will not utterly extinguish the everlasting “gar- conne,” it wi’l, nevertheless, relegato her to more limited boundaries. Fin­ ally, there is clear evidence that the lineal silhouette, which has vanquish­ ed1 all pretenders since the war, is to be seriously challenged by a contour which will make a fetish of a moro billowy Outline. These,- of course, are only general considerations. More directly im­ portant are the specific details through which you may accomplish these de­ partures from last year’s mode. Probably you have read a lot about longer skirts. It is a fact that more than one-half of the Paris couture has again lowered the hem-line and- that none of this eminent assemblage has had the temerity to raise it. .The add1- ed length is not significant—it varies between one and two inches. Yet, be­ cause it is more feminizing and more mature, you will find it wise to adopt for your autumn frocks a hemline which reaches to about one inch below the knees. Incidentally, in connec­ tion with the hemline, it is advisable that it flare— through pleats, the circular cut—or whatever the method there should be an effect of skirt full­ ness at the sides, .the front or all around. Innumerable waistlines, ranging from normal to low and including such themes as Patou’s spiral line, Renee’s diagonal waist and the dual waistline of Louise-boulanger, have been offered by the Paris couture, Generally the preponderance of opin­ ion favors a higher line, but there are many women to whom the normal waist has become an impossibility. You will best attain your full mead of autumn chic by featuring your waistline as high as you aesthetically can—the ideal place is about three inches below the normal line. You have an infinite variety of sleeves from which to choose. From the Francoise premier box pleated type of Lanvin’s to the sleeves of con­ trasting fabric offered by Worth, you will find numerous outlets for any enthusiasm you may entertain for arm elaboration. Inasmuch as femin­ inity is the goal of the fall and win­ ter mesdames of the mode, our sug­ gestion is that you adopt the full length, wide species, tempering it, cf course, to your particular gown. It is a quaint conception to have your sleeve follow the outline of your skirt. There is more than the usual diver­ tissement of autumn necklines. Somo are high, some bateau, some follow the V cufout, some feature turn-back collars, some are collarless and many incorporate fabric band necklines and fabric bows, the former often termin­ ating in a tie. The best sentiment now favors the deeper line instead cf the exceedingly high dccolletagcs cf recent seasons. Paris is quite partial toward the V neckline and you may follow either that cut or a fairly deep bateau with a certain knowledge that either will entitle you to a place among the fashionables of fall. Possibly that Western fruit grower who has installed a radio set in his orchard to keep the birds away smiles when “Bye, Bye Blackbird” comes in, but just what does he think of “When the Red, Red Robin comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin’ Along?"
