by swine club boy or girl.
Prize money offered in this contest
will be divided $4,000 for counties
east Of the Cascades and $125.00 for
counties west OF the Cascade noun
tains. An additional grand champion
ship prize of $500 will be offered
the swine club member who has the
best four pigs among the first prize
litters of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho. The first money offered will
be divided into five or six prizes.
The purpose OF the contest is to
give boys and girls club members
actual experience In feeding pigs for
market and find out the rate of gain
in weight, cost Of grain and profit that
can be made.
Any pig club member in the state
may enter the contest provided they
have four pigs from the same litter
to feed for market. All pigs should
be entered in the contest at weaving
time, and an accurate feed and weight
record kept for a period Of at least
four months.
All pigs must be exhibited at the

awards will be for individuality OF

The raw edge of this folded bias
strip is applied to the raw edge of
the material basted and stitched. The
folded edge then is brought over and

ROLLED AND WHIPPED SEAM.

This seam is especially good for
very thin materials such as Georgette
crepes, when wide seams would spoil
the appearance OF the garment. Make
a small plain seam, sewing it by hand
using tiny running stitches. Trim the
seam to within Ia inch and roll this
seam between the thumb and finger
until a tiny roll is formed along the
seam line. Whip over this roll occa-
sionally catching into the running
stitch used for the seam.
To Whip-Pass the needle under
the roll and let it come out through
the back of the roll. This forms a
kind of fine overcasting over the roll,
but it should not go through to the
material itself. This is not strong
seam and will not stand much strain.
EDGES.
Hens may be used for edge finishes,
They are suitable for most all ma
terials. The hens may be held in by
machine or hand stitching or fancy
embroidery stitch may be used as
cross stitch, hem-stitching, chain,
feather, etc.
Bindings on the true bias are
the best as they go on more smooth
ly These bindings may be cut either
single or double. When a binding is
finished only one-half of it shows on
the right side.
Single Bindings-In making single
binding it should be cut two times as
wide as the desired finish plus about
IL inch which allows for seams and
turn in of the raw edge.
The raw edge of the binding is
placed to that of the material, basted
and stitched. Then the raw edge of
the binding is turned in and the bind
ing folded over to the stitching line
and hemmed down by hand.
Great care must be taken not to
stretch or twist the bias forming the
binding.
Double Binding-This is much cas-
Ter to put on, as there is less danger
of stretching, but it of course takes
little more material.

ships regret. refer you, my Lord
Lydiard, to that day!"
Having read Mr.. Tollmidge's formid
able assertions relating to herself for
the second time, Lady Lydiard's medi
tations came to an abrupt end. She
rose, took the letters in both hands
to tear them up, hesitated, and threw
them back into the cabinet drawer
in which she had discovered them,
among other papers that had not been
arranged since Lord Lydiard's death.
"The idiot" said her ladyship,
thinking of Mr.. Tollmidge. II never
even heard of him in my husbands
lifetime; / never even knew that he
was really related to Lord Lydiard, till

next?"
She looked, as she put that question
to herself, at an open newspaper
thrown on the table, which announced
the death of that accomplished artist,
Mr.. Tollmidge, related, it is said, to
the late well-known connoisseur, Lord
| Lydiard." In the next sentence the
writer of the obituary notice deplored

CHAPTER l..

INSTALLMENT NO. 1.
CHAPTER I.
Old Lady Lydiard sat meditating by
the fireside, with three letters lying
open on her lap.
Time had discolored the paper and
had turned the ink to brownish hue.
The letters were all addressed to the
same person-"The Right Hon. Lord
Lydiard"-and were all signed In the
same way-"Your affectionate cousin,
James Tollmidge." Judged by these
/ specimens of his correspondence, Mr..
Tollmidge must have possessed one
great merit as letter-writer-the
merit of brevity. He will weary no
bodys patience, if he is allowed to
have hearing. Let him. therefore, be
permitted, in his own high-flown way,
to speak for himself:
First letter: "My statement, as your
lordship requests, shall be short and

a portrait painter in the country, and

I am, unknown and unemployed, a
helpless artist. lost in London, with q
sick wife and hungry children, and
bankruptcy staring me in the face.
On whose shoulders does this dread,
full responsibility rest? On your lord

Second letter: after a weeks de-
lay, you favor me, my lord, with q
curt reply. can be equally curt on
my side. I Indignantly deny that I or
my wife have ever presumed to use
your lordship's name as a means of
recommendation to sitters without
your permission Some enemy has
slandered us. I claim, as my right, to
know the name of that enemy"

is desired. These bindings may be
made of self material or of contrast
ing material and colors.
coRDING.
Cord1ng is used to finish edges of
skirts, tunics, armholes, necks, etc.,
or where shirring might be used as
a trimming. The size of the cord
depends upon where it is used and
! the taste of the wearer. A smooth
cord is better than heavily twisted
one as the twists wear on the ma
terial and also will show through.
To make cording the bias strip is
folded nearly in the center. Then
the cord is slipped in between this
fold and held there by a row of fine
running stitches, care being taken to
keep the bias drawn smoothly and
tightly over the cord. If cording is to
be used as facing also the fold is
made with one edge wider than the
other. The cord is then slipped in
and sewed with running stitches. The
under side Of the fold Is finished with
a once turned hem.
If the cords are to be along a
straight edge or to be used as round
line decoration on straight skirt
tiny tucks may be run in and the
cords pulled through these. The
tucks have to be very accurately
made, else the castings will not be
uniform throughout and will spoil the
design through poor workmanship.
PIPING.
This method of finishing is very
pleasing, when made OF plaid or
striped material or in contrasting col
or and makes flat finish.
MACHINE PIcOTING.
Machine picoting Is nice finish
for thin materials. 1t is attractive and
fairly strong, and especially good for
Georgettes, crepes, and other thin
silk or cotton materials. Indicate
with basting stitch the place for the
line of finish. Then have machine
hemstitching done along this line.

BEES ON A EARM2

Should each farm or suburban home
have hive and produce the honey
the family consumes? The answer
would be in the affirmative If the
farmer would take care of his bees.
A hive Of bees is small investment,
consequently they are neglected In the
rush of farm and home work. One Of
the big problems of the state is the
one or two hive owner who neglects
his bees. Bees are different from
other types Of livestock. They will
rustic for themselves and survive with
out attention from the owner, provid.
ing they do not become diseased. It
is the one or two hive owner who does
not take care fhis bees, that is men,
acing the Bookkeeping industry. II
their bees should become diseased
they are source Of contamination in
fecting the entire neighborhood.
If one does not examine the brood
OF his bees, it is impossible for him
to detect the first stages Of the di.
seases which may be controlled. When
bees are sick the honey produced is
nil. In addition to this a valuable
source of income is cut off. Expert
ments carried on in this state and
others have shown the bee to be the
greatest pollinizing agency in exist
ence. One grower of $50 acres of
prunes increased the yield 100 tons
by placing lis colonies in the orchard
during blossoming time. The prunes
sold at $120 per ton, so the extra
yield gave return of $4,000 or more
than 500 per colony. A grower of
cherries raised his yield So tons by
using 10 colonies. Many Yakima ap-
pie growers pay IS colony to have
the bees in their orchard during fruit
bloom. Not only are bees valuable
pollinizing fruit agencies, but aid in
