If You Own Cows

1t will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine, Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-mOnthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region of the
central west. 1t is ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
sOmely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his COWS yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
90 cents a year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira.

five and six feet respectively. The
lever is ten feet long and has a hole
bored one-fourth of its length from
one end, or two and one-half feet from
the end. In the shorter end is an
other hole in which to fasten hook
for the scales. Put together with a
large bolt, first putting on one five
foot leg, then the lever, the six foot
leg and last the other five foot leg.
The holes in the outside legs should be
one size larger than those in the lever
and longer leg in order that they may
be spread apart at the bottom, so that
they will not stand vertical.
When it is desired to weigh or lift
an object pull the lever A B to the po-
sition of G d, fasten the article on the
hook and with rope fastened to the
long end of the lever pull it down and
hook under the stob, as shown in the
illustration.

FLAGS FOR DECORATION.
How to Make Banners and Streamer=
For Christmas Festival.

For Christmas Festival.
There is generally n demand at
Christmas time for banners and flags
for decorative purposes, as they can
be very effectively introduced among
the holly, mistletOe and evergreens IN
the hall, ballroom and dining room,
while for school treats, parish teas,
etc, they are quite indispensable.
These can be ineXpensively made at
home, as no great skill Is required.
Bunting will stand rough wear and
is cheap, but other materials may be
employed, such as alpaca. cloth. serge,
silk, wOOlen rep aud cotton velvet In
hall either silk or alpaca would be
suitable in a ballroom silk, in a din
ing room velvet or silk or, for a
school feast, cloth or wOolen rep.
The letters can be embroidered upon
the flag, but applique designs are more
effective and need very much less
work. If embroidered the ordinary
crewel stitch should not be used, as
the effect is too fiat and not sufficient
ly bold. The basket and straight stitch,
es and the French knot are much the
best for either notices or devices, and
all kinds Of thread may be used, ac-
cOrding to the quality of the ground
work. Gold and silver thread, tapes
try and other woods may be utilized.
Having decided upon the size of the
flag, cut the material to fit. lay it
upon large table and arrange the in
scriptiOn. pinning each letter or orna-
ment into position and carefully meas
uring the spaces to insure regularity.
In cutting out letters enormous size
is not altogether necessary for legi-
bility. Much more depends upon sim
plicity of form and in the grouping
of the letters of each word closely to-
gethPr and allowing a reasonable dis
tance between the words themselves.
When the motto or inscription is ar
ranged tack it firmly in place and note
the effect before sewing it; then close
ly buttonhOle the letters all around the
edge, fixing them to the material.
Should the device be required on both
sides make the material double, sew
ing the letters on each side separately
before joining the two pieces together.
The flag may be Oblong or triangular,
or the oblOng may have the lower edge
vandyked and finished with braid, silk
fringe or cord. If fringe, then Il silk
taSSel at each corner is n nice finish.
and this, rs well as the cord by which
it is suspended, should match in color
To prevent the banner being too limp
a cord should be run through the hem
around the edge to slightly Stiffen it,
and it is then fastened to the pole by
strong cords fixed to the crOsSbar. On
