ment Station, by DR.. c. H. Eckles

Two plans OF experiments were
adopted, the first to raise calves or

or skmmilk and the second to raise
calves on dried milk using powdered
skimmilk, powdered or semi-solid but.

clearly showed that good calves can
be raised on very small amount OF
whole milk and that the manufactured
material mentioned can be substitute
ed after the calf has got start. All

never off feed and were kept unusual

Invisible Finishes Make the Gar
ment-Half of the style of the gar
ment is in the press, as many women
enrolled in the university extension
project in clothing are discovering.
Mrs. H. Walker, local leader re-
siding near Clinton Falls, reports that
the demonstration on pressing is
proving very valuable in her group.
Proper preparation of material before
the making are the invisible finishes
cutting and thorough pressing
throughout which make for good tall4
oring on garment of wool.
If the material is new the goods
should be thoroughly sponged and
pressed before garment is cut. This
can be done at the tailor shop for a
few cents a yard. If done at home,
the material should be rolled up tight
ly with a wet sheet and allowed to
stand until thoroughly saturated. 1t
should be pressed on the wrong side,
using canvasse pressing cloth. In
pressing, move the iron slowly back
and forth continually. Material
should not be ,ironed nor should iron
rest long enough in one place to
leave its imprint.
Pressing should be done after each
step in making and the final pressing
is important. If done at home, a
wool pressing cloth should be pinned
on ironing board and the garment
placed over this right side down. A
heavy pressing cloth dampened by
means of sponge should be used.

iects may be secured by writing Home
