Customs IN Mesopotamia and Egypt"
DR.. l.. w. King said the spirit which
animated the Egyptians in their varied
and changing practices toward the
dead was based on affection and rev.
erence, but the Babylonian, in the
main. was prompted by fear. The
Babylonians were probably more
spookridden than any other nation
of antiquity, and their magical texts
made 1t clear that the most terrible
class OF spirits were the ghosts OF
the dead who for some reason had
been unable to enter the underworld
Driven to hunger and thirst, such a
ghost might roam about and fasten on
anyone with whom it had relations
in this life. and it would plague him
until he performed the rites that
could give peace. 1t was mainly to lay
the ghost and prevent it from haunt.

 A frill of lace about the neck and a long tie of narrow ribbon with border of white complete the dress.
 Summer afternoon gowns of voile, or crepe, and fine lingerie gowns are very smart, worn with bright colored coatees of taffeta or crepe or mes saline silk lined with thin satin The surplice waist appears in many varla- tions in afternoon gowns. A com bination of the eton jacket and sur plice waist effect is novel; the sur plice ending in sash ends at the back. A blouse and girdle cut in one is one of the happiest suggestions for the afternoon gown. To pick out the un- usual and at the same time the simple effects for afternoon dresses is to be sure of success in style.
 The three-tiered skirt in which the founces are set together is another good idea for the afternoon dress. It is worn with a soft chiffon blouse and made high waisted or given that ef- feet by very wide girdle. Made of one of the thin materials and worn with a coatee of taffeta this is a cos tune both economical and smart.

WEAVING LITTLE PIGS
May Be Done at Eight Weeks of
 Age When Desired.
Sow Two Years Old Should Produce Two Litters Yearly Without Any, TroubIe-Give Feeds Condu-
 cive to Best MIk Flow.

CBy JOHN C. BURNS, Texas Experi-
 ment Station.)
 AS a general rule, we find it advis- able to wean pigs at about ten weeks of age. In the case of the especially thrifty, well-developed pigs, and when it is desired to breed the SOW as early as possible again, pigs may be weaned at eight weeks old with good results. AS rule, we do not consider it advisable to have a SOW farrow before she is twelve months old Or, in other words, it is gen. orally considered best not to breed them until they are between eight and nine months old. Breeding too early often has the tendency to check the growth of the gilt and sometimes the effects are permanent.
 Fourteen or fifteen hours labor in 1 bringing pigs is longer than ordinary, and would naturally be weakening on a young gilt. After weaning the litter your gilt has, l would advise not breeding her until she is about fifteen or sixteen months old. She would thus l have a chance to mend up and grow some and would bring you better litter. After reaching two years old any brood SOW should bring two filters without any trouble.
 Turnips, mangel-wurzels and all such succulent feeds are good for sows sucking pigs. as they are con. ducive to good milk flow. Whip-poor- will peas have good results as a for. age crop for all kinds of hogs, and especially brood sows and growing pigs. Ordinarily it is best to let hogs graze them and thus save the labor of harvesting. It is best to graze the peas when the fruit is fully devel oped, but the vines still green. as 1T this case much of the vines as well as the peas will be consumed.
 Rather than to feed straight corn it would be best for you to dispose O some of it at one dollar per bushel and in return get wheat shorts. Good rich gray wheat shorts are costin, here at retail about $l.25 per 10 pounds. Equal parts of corn an, wheat shorts will give very well bal anced ration. About the only advan tage in having corn ground for hog is that it can more readily be nike with other feeds in connection with Il

BEST QUALITY OF PRODUCTS
often Happens That the Producer of Good Dairy Articles Does Not
 Find Ready Market.

tBy J. CADWALLADER, Louisiana Ex-
 pertinent Station)
 quality IS the keynote to the suc- cessfui marketing of dairy products. People always have and always will pay premium for quality, therefore IL IS useless to expect to market dairy products successfully unless those products are of better quality than the average. Unfortunately it often hap pens that producers of good dairy produce do not always find a good market, but this does not signify that there is not a demand for the product at good price, but simply means lack of business ability on the part of the farmer in securing a good market. He, too, often depends upon his home town or upon his immediate commu- n1ty for a market for his products and is too often satisfied to sell to the middleman and the grocery store.
 In this day of the parcel post even perishable products can be sent great distances for a few cents, making it possible to sell such products as but ter, cheese, etc, direct from the farm to the consumer. There are hundreds of people in our towns and cities who would be only too glad to get dairy products direct from the farmer if the farmers who have these products for sale would insure them good uniform products.
 Ordinarily grocery store receives anywhere from to cents for han ding pound of butter, butter which Is made from cream that is even in- ferior to that from which the farmer made his butter which he sold to the grocer. Why doesn't the farmer keep this profit for himself?

HELP FROM CONTRASTING ASSOCIATIONS


many present have Babcock testers?' Twelve out of a gathering of fifty an swered in the affirmative In reply to the question, How many of you who have testers use them?" only one an swered in the affirmative.
 The object of COW testing associa- tions is to make the use of scales and Babcock machines a community affair ito unite dairymen into a partner ship for the purpose of employing a trained man to visit each herd at regular monthly intervals and weigh and test the milk of each COW. At the end of the year, this man gives each dairyman a record of the indi- viduals in his herd with little work or trouble to him and at the cost of about one dollar per cow
 The tester weighs and samples the milk of each COW at the evening and morning milking and tests the com bined sample for butterfat. Before leaving, he makes calculations so that he may leave with the dairyman the record of each COW down to date.
 
 In European countries and some of the states in this country, one of the duties of tester Is to weigh and keep a record of food consumed by the cows. The cost to the dairyman for complete testing varies from 80 cents to $50 year for each cow This variation is due to the number of
 
 size of individual herds.
 The first association In the United States was organized at Fremont, Mich.. in 1905. This association had 31 members, and 239 COWS completed the first years test. Since that time similar associations have been organ ized in practically all of the leading dairy states of the Union, to the great advantage of dairymen everywhere.
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-08-13
CBy L.. ANDERSON.o

(By L. ANDERSON.)
 The COW testing association Is a plan of cooperation among dairymen for the purpose of regularly and eco nomically testing their cows for pro- duction of milk and butterfat. A usual estimate places the average production of cows at 175 pounds Of butter per COW per year. In these days people who are familiar with dairying think in terms of butterfat. and if the above average be translated to fat it makes about 150 pounds. At 30 cents pound, which has been the average price for the past three years, the annual income per COW is $45.00.
 If the above figures are taken as a foundation, 1t is very apparent that there are many COWS which are not paying the cost of their keeping. The use of the scales and the Babcock test has discovered in almost every herd tested some COWS that do not pay the cost of keeping. If dairying Is to be made as profitable a business as it ought to be and as 1t has a right to be under proper management, these robber COWS must be apprehended.
 There is no means of knowing what a COW is producing without weighing and testing her milk at regular inter- vals. A dairyman selling milk by volume may not be concerned in the butterfat content further than is ne cessary to keep up to legal standard. but one who is selling butterfat Is vitally concerned in the amount each COW produces Each dairyman may test his own cows, but facing the condition squarely it is known that very few do. At a recent dairyman's meeting this point was raised-that a testing asso- citation was not necessary, because each man could test his own COWS. The question was then asked: How

The summer afternoon dress is about the most satisfying of all the clothes whereWithal we are clothed and any number of them have been designed tof the lovely fabrics made for wear in the good old summer time) that are easy to make.
 In the dress pictured the skirt is straight and short and full It has a high waist line with a smocked or shirred panel at the front and single box plaits disposing of the fullness at the sides and back Two fe-plaited ruffles extend about the skirt near the bottom and at the hip line, but they -tarmipate at the front panel on each side.
 A loose, plain blouse of chiffon in the same color as the dress with Dutch neck has a narrow knife plait- ing of the messaline festooned across the front. A short jacket of the mes- saline is decorated with small buttons and these and the odd sleeves with turnback cuffs, are forceful little items in the very good style of this gown.
