HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS
Results From Desire to Hurry
the Job Through.

When the modern girl makes a
dress for herself she is apt to say
that she does not feel comfortable in
it. She is afraid that it does not look
right, or that it looks homemade, and
she feels that the freshness has all
gone from it. In fact, she does not
take any pleasure at all in wearing it.
Little does she realize the true
reason for This feeling Of dissatisfac-
ton. 1t is simply because Il girl in
these modern days Of hurry and bus
tie wants to finish dress too quick
ly. She does not allow herself suf-
ficient time to finish it well. While
she is still wrought up over the fin
ishing touches and all on edge from
sewing the hooks and eyes on in a
hurry, she puts the dress on and then
wonders what's the matter.
This is all wrong. A dress should
be finished carefully, pressed and put
away for Il week at least, before it is
worn. Then when it is taken out
again the difficulties encountered IN
the making will have been forgotten !;
the dress will seem entirely new, and
will have all the freshness of one COM
ing from store.

Hundred Pounds Fed to a Pig Is Con-

Whey Is Good Feed.

(From the United States Department Of

From 100 pounds Of skim milk Is
pounds Of cottage cheese may be made,
with a protein value equal to 22.5
pounds Of pork. In other words,
quart Of skim milk makes more than
third of a pound Of cottage cheese.
When hundred pounds Of skim milk
is fed to a pig the skim milk is con-
verified into about 4.8 pounds Of dressed
pork. when combined with other feeds
to the best advantage. For every hun
dred pounds Of skim milk fed to pigs
instead of used for human food in the
form of cottage cheese, there is a food
loss equivalent to the protein in III
pounds Of meat. That is not all /; after
the manufacture of cottage cheese. the
whey remains and is available for
stock feed. From 100 pounds of skim
milk made into cottage cheese there
is residue Of about so pounds of
whey. which is regarded as having
feeding value Of about half that Of
skim milk, and on that basis. when
properly combined with other feeds,
will produce 10 pounds of pork. So
by making cottage cheese and feeding
the whey to pigs, the human food pro-
duced from 100 pounds of skim milk
has the same protein value as pa
pounds of meat, or 1876 pounds more
than when all the skim milk is fed to
pigs.

were transferred to movable frame
hives and handled by improved meth
DDS. If all the beekeepers now using
box hives would adopt the modern
type of movable frame hive they
would add many millions Of pounds of
honey to the nations supply. Much
of the honey produced by colonies in
box hives is wasted by crude methods
CT securing the crop, and these col
onies are reduced in earning value by
uncontrolled swarming. and by the
annual loss of bees which die in win
ter because Of lack of protection and
sufficient food stores.
While bees may be transferred at
any season when they are active, the
best time is during the season Of fruit
bloom when the combs contain little
honey. and when the bees will gather
nectar rather than rob honey from
hive which is being transferred. An
other good time for transferring is
Immediately after the first swarm of
the year when the number of bees
in the hive is greatly reduced, and
when there is no danger of losing or
injuring the queen. She goes with the
swarm, leaving queen cells in the hive
Transferring when rObber bees arc
active requires that the work be done
inside q screened or bee-tight build
ing.
There are five methods of trans
ferring. One consists in cutting the
combs from the box hive and placing
them in a new movable frame hive,
and transferring the bees by shaking
or drumming them from the old hive.
Another way is to drum the bees out
and move them to new hives which
have been previously provided with
full sheets of comb-foundation. The
third method consists in catching the
swarm as it issues from the old hive
and Immediately putting 1t in the new
hive placed on the old stand. In the
fourth method the new hive containing
comb foundation is placed on the old
one, and an opening for the bees pro.
vided between the two. The fifth
method requires little special equip
ment, and takes advantage of the fact
that in some localities the bees are
almost sure to swarm. Place the new
hive near the old one and provide 1t
with a queen-trap near the entrance
in such a way that when the bees
swarm the queen will be caught, and
the worker bees automatically will
enter the new hive. These methods
are described in detail in a new Farm
ers Bulletin, No. 961, which will be
sent free, so long as the supply lasts.

GOOD CROPS FOR

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Hogging off corp has been tested
thoroughly at several agricultural ex
pertinent stations and by practical hog
raisers, and the practice is strongly
recommended. Corn alone is not a
satisfactory hog ration. Where the
crop is to be hOgged off, some other
crop should be coml4ned with 1t.
Pumpkins seeded at the same time as
the corn, soy beans or coWpeas seeded
in the same or iE alternate rows with
the corn, and rye, rape or soy beans
seeded at the last working Of the corn
have all been used with satisfactory
results.
Grain Ration Needed.
With one Of these combinations no
other grain ration is needed. but If
there is no other forage growing in
the cornf1eld some concentrate, such
as tankage, cowpea meal or middlings,
should be fed. It is advisable to start
the hogs gradually for few days,
with a little green corn before turn
ing them into a field Of corn to hog
It off. The corn is ready for grazing
when the grain is dented or glazed.
It will take about one month for four
teen to sixteen hogs weighing $50
pounds each to hog off an acre of corn
which would yield 35 bushels. 1t is
NOT advisable TO LET the hogs have &C.

HAVE SUPPORT OF SEEDMEN
American Association Will Cooperate
to Encourage Increased Produc-

prepared by the United States Depart

The war program for food produc-
ton is to receive the active support
of seedmen throughout the nation.
The American Seed Trade association
recently in session In Chicago has
pledged its support in communication
to Secretary Houston. It's resolution
says that the association. "realizing the
urgent and extraordinary need exist
ing for tremendously increased produc-
ton of seeds on account of the devas-
tation wrought by the war in the prin-
cipal European producing centers and
the almost Frustrated condition Of
transportation, preventing distribution.
and further realizing fully the pro-
found obligation thrown upon us, do
hereby renew to the president Of the
United States and to the secretary OF
agriculture our pledge of our entire re-
sources to win the war and to in
crease our efforts in producing crops
that we may stay the dread scourge of
famine, and we pledge to this end I'M
reservedly our money, our lands and
ourselves"
To this Mr.. Ouslcy, the acting Sec
rotary of agriculture, replied as fol-
lows:
Il note with much satisfaction and
greatly appreciate the renewal by your
association Of its pledge to the presi-
dent and the secretary Of agriculture
Of the entire resources Of its members
in the effort to increase crop pro-

flying to note that your association is
prepared to meet such requests as are
necessary in the public interest, al
