A Chicago man, who has good taste in designing pillows and cushions earns a living by making artistic cushions, pillows, etc., for use in cosy corners. He goes to the homes of wealthy people, shows them his samples, and almost invariably receives an order for a number of these articles. His prices are rather high, but his work is so artistically done that it is well worth all it costs.

For the following plan we are indebted to the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
Guinea fowl are growing in favor as a substitute for game birds, with the result that guinea raising is becoming more profitable.
They are raised usually in small flocks on general farms, and need a large range for best results.
Domesticated guinea fowl are of three varieties, Pearl, White, and Lavender, of which the Pearl is by far the most popular.
