For enc Homo senmstrcss.

Many of the new cotton goods have
the colors and markings of the best
silks.
For shirt waists, the wash fabrics
in mercerized cotton are fine. The
colored goods have a silky smooth
ness. and launder beautifully.
Linen crash is always a good ma
terial for spring dresses. as it wears
well, does not fade IL laundered care
fully, and always looks fresh.
In making up linens, remember
that the material shrinks very much
when washed, and 1t should always
be well damped and ironed before
cutting. The lustre of the goods will
be dimmed by this process, but it
will be lost at the first washing. any
way, and it is very hard to supply
the shrinkage to the finished gar
ment in any other way.
Many shirt waists are made with
broad shoulder effects by the use of
triple pleats over the shoulders, back
and front, and they are easy to laun-
der. Bishop sleeves, with small cuffs
and circular stock collars go with
these.
A good pattern for the skirt of
shirt waist suit is one with no pleats
about the hips--a plain, fiaring pat
tern. and only an inverted pleat be-
hind. The bottom should be
hemmed. and the trimming at the
foot should be folds of the dress ma
terial. with or without piping.

Conscience NotanInformation Bureau

If conscience is safe guide to
what is right and wrong then the
Bible is not needed. There is no
halfway ground here, for a guide
that needs guidance is no guide at
all And as a matter of fact, con-
science is not a guide, and because
so many souls mistakenly think it is,
confused and wandering errors in the
pathway of life are constantly made.
Conscience Is monitor. 1t prompts
and prods; it urges DO what you
know to be right; do not do what you
know to be wrong But it does not
instruct us in what is right and what
is wrong; it is not a bureau of in
formation. That instruction we re-
Ceiye from God in many different
ways, of which the Bible and the
training of parents and teachers are
some. Therefore 1t will not do to
settle back in the easy assurance that
we have a safe guide in conscience.

selves, what is our duty, and those

Making Butter ON the Farm.


There are two prime essentials in
making butter on the farm a profit.
able business. In the first place, one
must have plenty of pure, cold water,
and then good enough grade must
be turned out to make and hold Gus
toners. The trouble with nine out
of every ten farm homes is they are
not equipped to take care of milk and
cream. When one goes into this
work to make money, better put up a
milk room, where pure water may be
had from pumping or from a spring.
Concrete floor and walls may now be
built as cheaply as with lumber, and
1t is a great deal better than lumber.
Don't stop here. A barrel churn and
a butter maker will be necessary in
turning out a uniform product. 1t
looks easy-simply separating the
cream, churning till the butter comes
and sailing and the trick is done.
That is where so many fail. The
cream must be churned at the right
temperatures it must be neither too
sweet nor too sour. Working and
sailing butter to secure uniform cclor
and flavor is a very nice art. Don't
try to learn to do it infalllbly in two
or three weeks, but by all means
don't practice on your customers.
That means loss. 1t is better to walt
two or three months until you are
sure of your quality before you seek
customers. And before you ship, find
out how your commission man or pri-
vate customers prefer to have their
tutter put up. Sometimes the pack
age means a difference of two or
three cents pound. - Indiana

Whole Milk For Veal Calves.

The journal of the British Board
If Agriculture says that probably a
month is as long as it is advisable to
iced calves on whole milk on a dairy
farm or until they have reached
about 160 pounds, live weight, or
ninety-six pounds of veal. This
weight may be attained in a month,
provided the calves are fatted as
quickly as possible, but one cannot
expect to do it unless the calves are
led three times a day. An effort
should also be made to have the
calves fat at the time veal commands
high price. otherwise the returns
from vealing on whole milk may not
be at all satisfactory.
