HOMEMADE DRESSES.
HOW TO MAKE COTTON AND WOODEN
SHIRT WAISTS.

Designs which May Serve a, N B,,,,
For Different Materials Forming
the Tucks and Cording.-suuu.s-
lions as to Trimming
Copyright 1901, by American Press Association
To make a shirt waist and have II
right is one Of the most difficult things
In dressmaking, and yet it Is good
thing to learn how to do 1t, since the
material for one costs so little and the
finished garment costs so much. The
waist and pattern in this column are
from the best shirt waist house in
New York. The design shown here Is
the basis of them all, wooden and cot
ton. Any difference is developed by
different ways of trimming or tucking.
The back is generally made straight
and In that case is cut all in one piece.
but some of the plaid or striped goods
are made more ornamental by having
the material cut bias, which requires
that a seam should be in the middle.
Three or more tucks or cordings are
sewed in the stuff on each side of the
shoulder point, and deep plat Is laid
at the bottom under the narrow one so
that 1t is made to narrow toward the
center until the two lines of plaitings
touch at the bottom while starting at
the shoulder point.
On the diagram, Fig. 2, will be found
yoke of the back, and this Is cut on
the cross of the goods to be strong, and
the straight edge is bound. 1t goes I'M
der the outside. The outside of the
back Is then basted to this. 1t is to
give flrmness across the back A waist
made in this way never loses its shape
across the back. 1t also stays the arm
size at the back. Wooden and cotton
shirt waists are never fully lined. The
back, like the front, extends three inch
es below the waist line for holding the
belt. Some Of the best waists have
gathered belt sewed along three inches

Preservation of Fence Posts Doubtful.

Preservation of Fence Posts Doubtful.
The preservation of wood by saturation
and by other kinds of applications has
been tried in various experiments. Per
haps IL the intercellular spaces could be
filled with some antiseptic substance, the
wood might be preserved, but this is dif-
ficult and expensive. Many times tne
papers have published that coal tar would
preserve posts in the ground. But many
failures prove the statements to be mis-
leading. have known long lines OF
fence posts treated with coal tar, but
really they seemed to rot quicker than
those not treated with it. | think 1t very
doubtful if the application of coal tar
and rosin will be successful.
If remedy should be found, 1t would
be many years before it could be proven.
Much waste of time and expense should
make us slow to trust theory. The bet
ter way is to rely on such kinds of wood
as we know to be durable.-J. H. Creigh-
ton in New England Homestead.

centrifugal machine is of the steam type

operator is honest as well as competent

a balance to weigh the cream into the
test bottles before testing; IL figures are
returned as made and not uggled with ;
then the results are probably right and
the patron should look for the beam In

The creamery patron, however, should
make sure on all these points. He
should insist on accurate sampling. II

not rest until the cream is weighed In

And it means the difference between

A good many patrons, doubtful as to
the accuracy of creamery returns, send
samples to the Vermont Experiment sta
ton for its free analysis. The station
gladly responds to these calls, but urges

What Kind of Corn Shall 1 Plant?

Last spring the Vermont Experiment
Station planted four varities of corn on
three different parts Of its farm. San
ford, Red Cob, Leaning and large Vir-
einia corn were chosen. They were
separately harvested, ensilaged and fed.
The Sanford grew 6 feet tall, and ma
tured; the Red Cob, 81 feet and partly
glazed 1t ears the Leaning and Virginia
corns, 80 and III feet respectively, the
ears arriving at the milk stage. The yields
or green fodder per acre were Sanford o.,
Red Cob IA, Leaning 16 and Virginia II
tons. The yields of food matter to the
acre were Sanford q, Red Cob 81, Lean
ing 3 and Virginia corn 1-3 tons.
The Sanford corn, being most mature.
kept best in the silo and came out with
an exceedingly small loss. The Red
Cob corn lost comparatively little, the
other two immature corns much, as
such wet material always must, in the
silo or out of it. As result, therefore,
the actual food which reached the cows
managers from an acre of Sanford corn
which only grew tons of green fodder,
was nearly as great as from an acre of
the Virginia corn which grew II tons,
and greater than from an acre of Lean
ing corn which grew 16 tons. The Red
Cob matured better than hitherto at the
station farm and its food yield exceeded
that of the Sanford slightly. This result
is exceptional.
The Sanford siage was the best and
heartiest of the four and the cows did bet
ter on it than on either of the other
silages.
These trials confirm Others hitherto
made at the Vermont and other stations.
They show that the extra growth of the
big varieties over those like the Sanford
is practically all water. He who grows
such must handle in the field, on the
wagons and on the silage gutter from

lie must furnish slo room for it and
then laborlously lift it out of the silo and
carry ii to the cattle. This extra water
has no food value whatever. 1t is bet
ter and cheaper all around to water the
cattle in some other way.
