Practical Baby Dress
Any Mother Can Make

For an everyday dress for the pre-
walking period in babys life, the fol-
lowing pattern is recommended by a
correspondent as being easily made,
convenient and quickly Numbered:
Take a piece of crepe or other ma
terial, twice as long as the height of
the baby, and as wide as the distance
from one outstretched hand to the
other. Fold twice, lengthwise and
crosswise. Next cut out the neck and
curve the outer seams In from the
short kimono sleeves and out again to
the bottom of the skirt.
The stitching is best done in the
following order:
~ Hem edges Of sleeves; (2) Join
underarm seams to bottom of dress;
90 cut an opening from top to bottom,
in center of back; az hem each side
of this opening; (5) hem bottom of
dress; (6) take piece of tape about
"a inches long. Leaving an equal
length free at each end, bind the neck
with the center section.
This dress being open at the back
may be placed on the baby without the
necessity of lifting him up or insert
ing his head through anything, since
it merely ties at the back of the neck.
Moreover, since the baby does not lie
on the dress, 1t will remain fresh much
longer.
Little flowers may be embroidered
at neck and sleeves il desired.
A mother, using a sewing machine,
can cut and make one of these dresses
In about half an hour. Many moth
ers make baby's petticoats in the same
fashion.

Bird Does Scauenger Work

The adjutant bird is voracious
carrion-eating East Indian stork, some
times feet In height and IA feet in
expanse Of wings, with large bill,
the skin of the head naked, and
pouchlike appendage on the interior
surface of the neck. The plumage is
black or ash-colored, and furnishes
the marabou-feathers of India. The
adjutant feeds on frogs, fish, reptiles,
ETC.. and. is the scavenger of Indian
towns. 1t derives its name from the
comical gravity with which it stalks
along.

All Sheep Susceptible
to Stomach Worm Pest

The stomach worm is parasite OF
all breeds of sheep. Fine wool sheep
are susceptible to invasion by this pest
just the same as any of the mutton
breeds, although they may not show
the effects of a medium to light in.
festation as quickly. This is prob.
ably due to the fact that their bodies
are more angular and slight loss OF
flesh Is not as noticeable, writes d. S.
Bell in the Ohio Farmer.
The eggs of the stomach worm are
passed from the sheep in the drop
pings and will hatch In a variable
length OF time depending upon the
temperature and moisture conditions,
This Matching may occur in few
hours or under adverse conditions II
may require few weeks. Dryness
or freezing temperature will kill this
newly Matched larvae. If 1t passes
this stage it becomes enveloped In
chitinous sheath and in this condition
is resistant to freezing and drying for
long periods Of time. Keeping sheep
and cattle off an infested pasture for
one year is usually considered neces-
sary for these ensheathed larvae to
die and render the pasture free.

Leaf Rollers Do Great
Injury to Fruit Trees

Increased activity of the fruit tree
leaf roller Is reported In the eastern
apple.producing sections This pest is
entirely too well known In western
producing sections, and wherever ap-
pies are produced in any quantity the
economic loss may amount to con-
siderable figure. 1t Is reported that
as much as 40 per cent of the fruit
may be injured so that 1t drops pre-
maturely, and half Of what is left
may be so deformed that it Is not
salable. Loss of an entire crop has
been reported occasionally.
Spraying is effective, but only
against eggs and young caterpillars.
The miscible oils have been used in
some cases with good effect. The reg
ular poison spray applied to apple
trees at the cluster bud stage-Or the
so-called pre-pink, stage of blossom
development-will protect both leaves
and fruit against this new pest. 1t
Is really only the man who neglects
his orchard spraying who needs to fear
the new invasion of apple pests.

PROPER FEEDING is
REQUIRED BY PIGS

For the first twenty-four hours after
narrowing, the SOW should have moth
Ing to eat. but she should have plenty
Of clean water. On the second day she
should be fed light feed Of bran In
the form Of thin slop, and should bs
put on feed gradually so that the pigs
will be able to take care of the milk
How. Young pigs must not get too
much milk. because 1t tends to give
troubles. About the only way to check
this trouble is to feed the sow very
lightly and sometimes 1t Is necessary
to skip few feeds and gradually bring
the sow back on full feed again.
No fixed rule can be followed In re-
gard to the amount OF feed the SOW
should have for the first week or ten
days. says l.. z. Crawford, farm herds
man at Clemson college, in discussing
the care and attention that should be
given the SOW and litter during the
first two weeks after farrOwing. Some
sows produce more milk than others.
A heavy mixer should be fed lightly
until the pigs are large enough to take
care of the milk. A poor mixer should
be fed more literally in order to get
the milk flow started. 1t is necessary
that the feeder use judgment in each
individual case. After the pigs are u
week or ten days old the sow should
be on full feed.
Pigs ten days or two weeks old
are likely to develop thumps. This
Is caused by the pigs becoming too
fat and from the lack of exercise.
Often when you think you are going
to have wonderful show litter you
will find them breathing hard and with
pronounced jerk In the flank. This
is thumps, and we have found that this
trouble can be prevented easily by
forcing the young litter to take exer-
else. This can be accomplished by
pushing the young pigs along with a
broom, or carrying them some distance
from the bed and allowing them to
work their way back, the former meth
cd being preferable.
Assuming that all has gone well for
the first week, we would then get the
SOW out in lot to herself. A lot con-
talning young rye or rape where she
can get all of the green forage she will
eat Is preferable. She should be fed
In addition a well-balanced ration, such
as mixture Of corn meal. middlings
and small percent Of tankage. An.
other good ration Is corn and skimmilk.
