Weekly Service Hints Furnished By
State College Specialists

Choosing Materials. This Is the sea-
son when women buy materials for
winter dresses usually wool and silk.
Much reworked wool, called shoddy
is sold in the market today, and pur-
chasers pay high prices for goods
which is not what IL should be at that
price. Azalea Linfield, extension spe-
cialist in clothing, suggests these tests
for woolens and worsteds:
l. Hold cloth up to light. Is 1t close
ly, firmly woven? IL IL is sleazy, the
cloth will not hold its shape.
2. Ravel out warp and wool threads.
Try breaking them; il warp is strong
and the wool weak, the material will
not wear well.
3. Break threads. Wool pulls apart
with kinky ends, while cotton breaks
with a snap.
4. Wool tears with a dull muffled
sound, but cotton always tears more
easily. The ends Will be unalike.
5. Brush surface of mapped cloth
briskly. Does nap loosen and drop off +?
IL so, the cloth will wear threadbear
and shabby.
Burning test. Wool burns very
Nowly and gives off odor of burning
feathers. IL cotton is present 1t will
burn with a flame. This is one of the
most satisfactory tests for WOODEN.
Pure silk has long endurance, its
weight is light, it sheds dust quickly
so is clean to wear, and does not mat,
felt or shrink in Westinghouse many
women ike silk dresses for all sea-
sons. Artificial silk, made from cotton
or wood pulp and treated chemically,
is usually harsher, sitter and has a
more brilliant luster than true silk.
When wet il loses much of its strength
and it is not as elastic as genuine silk.
Try these tests for true silk-Burn-
ing: burn sample of silk and you will
find that true silk burns slowly, the
ash curling up in little balls ON edge
of burning material, while the burnt
feather odor is given off.
Weighted silk test-Burn sample
and If sample holds it's shape after
silk is burned, it contains weighing
Test t~affeta, mesaline and crepe dc
chine to show comparative differences
To clean rusty buckles-Scrub with
stiff brush that has been dipped in a
thin paste made by mixing sweet oil
and emery dust. Wipe dry This re-
moves rust and makes buckle bright
as new.

HOW LIVESTOCK CAN HELP
SOLVE MARKETING PROBLEM
BY Christian Larsen
Dean of Agriculture South Dakota
State Collage

Dean of Agriculture South Dakota
State College
Editors Note-Besides consuming
about four months of pasture, the dairy
COW also uses three ions of hay and
one ton of grain, or its equivalent,
during the year. This amount of feed
should be converted into about 300
pounds of butter, 5000 pounds of
skimmilk and a calf. The skimmilk
and the calf remain on the farm. The
butter is marketed. 1t is in this con-
nection, Dean Larsen pointed out in a
previous article appearing in the Mil
Ter Press that the dairy COW is help
full in solving the marketing problem.
The point that South Dakota far
mers are clearly seeing is that butter
is a very concentrated product and
that it is cheap and easy to market as
compared to the marketing of the
bulky feed crops. Any agricultural
state located a considerable distance
from a central market of necessity
needs to give heed to this business
end of farming.
Probably the railroad freight (which
was considered in a previous a~rticle)
is not the largest tax in Connection with
moving field crops. Another expensive
tax is in connection with moving the
bulky feed crops from the farm to the
local shipping point. While this may
not represent a big cash outlay, it
nevertheless is costly and requires
much time.
A certain landowner was having his
share OF the grain hauled from his
farm to town, a distance of nine miles.
The hauler made only one trip a day,
and it cost the owner seven cents per
bushel to have the grain hauled. To
haul the 1000 pounds, or about 100
bushels of grain would cost about
$500. The three tons of rough feed
would represent two loads and would
cost about $14.00 to move, which would
mean a total cost of $21.00 to get the
feed for n COW for one year moved
from the farm to the local shipping
point. This cost, of course, would be
reduced if the distance to town was
much less than nine miles. 1t would
also be increased if the distance were
greater and the roads were bad.

I haven't seen him since.
"I left the scene OF tho accident

trance of Evansville at the left hand
side OF the road and notified Perry
Morris to come to the scene of the
accident. also notified my father. but
the sheriff paid no attention TO the
call and did not come put to the
scene.
when I returned to my car, I
asked Mr.. Ted Flanagan, who Is the
editor of the North Casper News.
where the msn who shot my mother
is. He said. Don't worry. the sheriff
took him to jail. Then I asked
where they took my mother. He said,
To your home. Some strange man
drove our car to our residence at 740
North Center. Upon my arrival.
neither my mother nor my father
were there. so I called friends of
mine TO come with their Dodge car.
and they took me to the hospital. So
far / hadn't eyen learned where she
was taken. Ted Flanagan had been
calling several hospitals Inc he was
so irritable on the phone that I
jerked the receiver away from him
and did tho piioninE myself. I
finally located her at the women's
and Children's hospital. At the time
I jerked the receiver out OF Mr..
Flanasan's hand. he made this re.
mark. Well, take It. you dam little
fool. no one can tell you anything.
