The method of making dill pickles

dye gradually. Be careful not to start
with too strong dye bath, as It Is
difficult to tighten the color when once

For cotton material add salt equal
in weight to one-fifth of the weight Of
the material to be dyed. For wool
or silk dye add the same proportion of
salt and also at least two tablespoon
fuls Of strained vinegar for every
pound of material. The acid breaks
up the dye so that 1t penetrates more
readily into the material. Stir con.
stantly. Test the shade Of the dye

fore putting 1t all in. Remember
that 1t will be darker when wet.

Dyeing can be done at home so
easily that the process has been made
part of the club work for boys and
girls conducted by the United States
Department Of Agriculture, co-operat-
Ing with the state agricultural col
leges.
To get good results it is necessary
to consider the kind of material and
Its original color as we'll as the color
to which 1t is to be dyed. Dyes In
tended for use with wool or silk ma
terials do not produce satisfactory re-
suits with cotton. Dyes intended for
cotton materials may be used In dye
ing silk, wool or linen. For materials
which are mixtures of cotton and any
Of the other materials, Or materials
stitched with cotton, cotton dye
should be used.
1t Is easy to dye white material any
color or re-dye any material the same
shade, darker shade, or black. More
skill Is required to dye the material an
ShtICiJ bAhCACiit SOiois IL 10 lupOS>
sible to dye any material lighter
color than it was originally unless the
! darker shade can be bleached out be-
fore dyeing. This seldom pays for
the labor involved.
How to Combine Primary ceIors.
Good shades and colors may often
be obtained by combining different
colors. In dyeing this can be done in
two ways. The original color may be
combined with dye Of different
color. as when blue material is dipped
in yellow dye to get green; or the
material may be dyed first one color
and then another, as when 1t is first
dyed blue, dried, and then dipped in
yellow dye to get green.
Red, blue and yellow are the pri-
mary colors. Combining these pr-
mary colors in different proportions
will produce many different colors and
shades. Red and blue produce violet.
Red and yellow produce orange. Yel-
low and blue produce green.
Instead Of softening one color with
the other two primary colors, 1t can
sometimes be softened by using its
complementary color. that is, the color
