USE MACHINE FOR DARNINa
Work Can Be Done More Quickly and
Easily Than In the oid.Fa ash
Toned Manner.

The darning and mending Of bee
and table linen, towels, etc., can cas-
lily be done on a sewing machine.
Several sewing machines have a spe-
cial attachment to be used for this
purpose, but the work can be done
without it. When using the machine
to darn your linen the edges of the
hole should not be trimmed, as the
stitching weaves over and under the
ragged edges. An embroidery hoop
Is useful In doing this work, as it
spreads the material smoothly and
keeps the threads from drawing up
and ~puckering. The cloth should be
placed owe the hoop wrong side out
and the ring turned over when work
ing, so that the material will lie fat
under the machine foot and the right
side be seen.
A small needle and fine cotton
should be used and the tension of
the upper and shuttle thread made
loose and the stitch made as long as
possible. The presser foot should not
be lowered, so that the work can be
done back and forth without turning
the hoop at each row. Starting
parallel with the thread of the linen,
a row of stitching is made along the
edge of the hole of the opposite side,
then back to the starting place, sew
ing across the hole, just as IL the
material were there. A small space
should be left between rows. After
the lengthwise rows are finished, the
ring should be turned and the cross
wise rows put in, running back and
forth, so as to have an irregular out
line around the edges and bringing
the rows of stitching close together.
II the hole Is too large to be Gov
cred with machine stitching, a piece
cut from an old napkin may be used
to mend the cloth. The table cloth Ia
put over the loop in the same way
as it would If the cloth were to be
darned with stitching, then the piece
which should be cut larger than the
hole, is basted on the wrong side Of
the material over the hole, without
turning in the edges. The stitching II
done back and forth yer the raw
edges.

menced, with some substitutes for
the fat which is taken out in the
cream. The feeding Of grain and
clover hay may be commenced and
gradually increased as the calf Is
able to assimilate 1t.
Professor Redman said that the calf
should be kept growing and not al
lowed to get a setback at any time,
for it might never fully from
it and would not be likely to make
the high quality cow that it other
wise would.
Professor Redman did not favor pas.
turing the calves during the first sum
mer, but rather keeping them inside
and away from the annoying flies dur
ing the warm days, for often they lose
more in fighting flies than they gain
by the open air and pasturing. They
might be turned out into a pen a
night.

GOOD CARE OF YOUNG CALF
Prof. Redman Does Not Favor Pastur-
Ing Animals During First Summer
on Account Of Flies.

The Maine Farmer thus reports the
address of Prof. r. w. Redman given
on the Farming Special trip, on the
subject of the dairy calf: His sug-
gestions were the results of the best
practical experience along that line
After some preliminary remarks along
the line of selection of the COW and
the use of a pure-bred bull, in which
he emphasized the quite generally ac-
cepted assertion that the sire is half
the breed, he spoke particularly OF
the treatment of the COW before calv-
ing. She should rest a few weeks and
should be fed well but not high, and
should have some succulent feed. She
should have good care and attention
and will respond with better offspring,
He suggested the following treat
ment of the calf: Leave 1t with the
dam a few days and then take 1t
away and teach it to drink. A clean
pail should be used and the milk
should always be the same tempera-
ture. After a few days of whole milk,
the use of skimmilk nay be com

Il hope in my s%anitarium to restore

If middle age is stupid, If middle age
is p~rosaic, it is only because the
health of middle age is poor.

the bitter complaint of Mrs. Blank.

tity of alcohol into the neck of tho
test bottle after the cream test is
completed. The alcohol floats in the
top and changes its c surface
to nearly a straight line. AS the use
of the alcohol dissolves the fat, there
fore reduces the length Of the col.
umn and gives too low a reading. this
can be overcome by first adding to
the alcohol all the fat 1t will dissolve
and then pouring a small quantity OF
this f~at-saturated alcohol on the top
of the fat column in the test bottle.
The diagrams in the figure show
the difference, In bottle No. ! 1t
shows the top curve of the fat which
occupies a space between A and ID
of nearly 1 per cent Of the scale. The
test should be read 10 or 20, depend
ing on the selection of A or B as the
point to which 1t is read.
IN bottle No. 2 the alcohol makes
a straight line at the top of the fat
column, so that the test can be read
at that point without any uncertainty.

skim MIX Experiments.

The Wisconsin experiment station
got only II cents per 100 pounds for
skim milk after deducting the cost of
the corn meal at 80 cents per 100
pounds when fed to q hog weighing
400 pounds. When fed to two hogs
weighing 144 pounds each, they paid
rs cents per 100 pounds for the skim
milk when figured on the Same basis.
These figures show a value for skim
milk as a hog feed that some feeders
do not seem to appreciate.
Some experiments show an increase
of 20 per cent. in weight in hogs over
that obtained by feeding cornmeal
and skimmilk separately by feeding
them in connection with each other.
