TO MAKE PRETTY BAG
ONE THAT WILL BE SERVICE.
ABLE FOR MANY YEARS.
Ability to Do Only Plain Knitting
Stitch Is Necessary-May Be
Made of Black or CoIored
Silk

saw knitted, beaded bag which
the owner told me was at least TWEEN
ty-five years old. 1t was so pretty
but so simple that any girl who knows
how to do the plain knitting stitch
could make one like it.
This bag was made entirely in
black, but one could use a colored
silk with white beads, or beads in
gold or silver. One needs spool Of
knitting silk, a pair of steel needles
and several punches of beads. To
make the bag, cast on say one hun
dred and eight stitches, and knit back
the second row plain. Break off the
silk and thread on about three feet
of beads, choosing those that go
through the silk easily but not loose
ly. If the holes are too small, the
beads will wear the silk, while, if
loose, they will stand away from the
silk. Tie the spool end and the loose
end of the silk together at end of
second row and start the third row.
Knit off the first two stitches and
then knit a bead into every stitch
all the way across except the two
end stitches. These are plain.
The fourth row is knitted plain all
the way back.
The fifth row: Knit in the beads as
the third row, and come back plain.
Then go on knitting alternate plain
and beaded rows until the piece of
work is half its width. 1t is impossi-
bic to give the exact number of
inches, because some knit tighter than
others, but when the piece is folded
once it should be a square Also.
do not forget to leave two rows Of
plain stitches at each end and two
rows of plain knitting at the begin
ming and the end of the work. This

BURN CHOLERA CARCASSES
Burial of Dead Animals Not Approved
by Nebraska Station-Excellent
Plan Is Described.

The burial of hogs dying of cholera
is not advised by the department OF
animal pathology at the Nebraska ex
pertinent station. The germs of the
disease will last a long time in the
earth under favorable conditions and
are liable TO cause a new outbreak.
The safest way to dispose Of carcass
is to burn it
Burning may be easily accomplished
in the following manner: Dig two
trenches a few inches deep intersect-
ing each other at right angles. At the
intersection OF these, cornstalks. cobs.
or other fuel may be laid. Over the
trenches may next be laid .strips OF
metal to support the carcass. Before
being placed over the supports, the
abdominal and thoracic cavities should
be opened and be literally sprinkled
with kerosene. Then the hog should
be placed belly downward over the
fuel. AS soon as the material in the
trenches is ignited, it will rapidly
spread TO the kerosene and fat and
the body will be quickly consumed.
II large iron wheel is handy. it
may be substituted with good results
for the trench and iron bars.

BREEDING ONLY BEST CATTLE
Counterfeit Dairy Cow Has No Place
on Pasture or In Feed Yard
Discard Poor Producers.

CBy ROUD MCANN. Colorado Expert

The development Of the increasing
demand for well-bred dairy cattle 10
based upon the recognition OF the fact
that under present production condl-
tons, the counterfeit dairy COW has
no place on the pasture or in the feed
yard.
During the past few years difficulty
of replenishing and starting herds
with good animals has confronted the
dairy farmer at every turn. High
feed bills have demonstrated the fu-
tility of expecting satisfactory returns
when keeping poor producers, and the
wideawake. progressive. businesslike
dairymen are centering their demands
on merit, of which there must be a
greater supply 10 meet this demand.
Foreign competition has created a
we'll grounded impression that the
most effective way Of evading it is
by greater production per animal and
better products.

should always keep a red-brown veil
on hand to wear on summer outings
on land or water, for a veil in any
other color is no use at all, this and

The Wisconsin experiment station
tells the farmers Of that state to i'm
prove their potato seed.
1. By cooperating with their neigh

2. By planting this foundation

mixed with other varieties.
3. By learning the vine and tuber
characteristics of the variety one
plants.
4. BY discarding as seed all hills
which do not have these characteris-
tics.
5. By selecting seed for next year
on the field at digging time.
6. By organizing the growers. deal
