HELP ON QUILT?

(FfOm MTS. A. M. u, HynLESDttte.j
/ wonder If I could get some
help on a quilt I'm making? I have
all the pieces put together, but
where do / go from there? don't
quite know how to go about
putting on the back piece, filling
in the cotton batting and doing
the actual quilting. Is there any
other material besides cotton bat
ting that could be used. Also
what is the easiest and most prac-
tical method of quilting. SO that
when washed the cotton won't
mat up and spoil the quilt? I
would greatly appreciate any help
you ladies can give me.
CONDENSATION.
(From Mrs. G. F. H., Washington J
I have read of frosty storm win
dows and want to contribute my
ideas on the subject. Perhaps the
real trouble is that they are not
alright. When I bought mine it
was before aluminium ones were
started, and soon afterward inter-
changeable ones came in. How
ever. the man who installed mine
told me they should be alright
with felt around so that no air
could enter, not even through q
very small hole. I found that I
did not have any frost on my
windows. Now. in several. the
felt has worn and I find these now
have frost, so now I have one
thing to do and that is replace the
felt. I hope this works for every
one who has such trouble. Make
them alright.
Now for those who have yellowed
nylon. I would suggest that you
hang nylon things out on a clean
clothesline with clean clothes pins
and let it rain on them "a good
rain) until the sun shines on them
only until dry. Do not let them
freeze as this may, break threads.
This also is good for all white
clothes. Let it rain hard on them
and then let them dry.

PETS FOR GIFTS.

tFFUm LIZ 1.s Sfe1f ttttoUfsp
May I take this opportunity to
suggest that those of you who
are going to give pets to your
children for Christmas, bring the
puppy or kitten into your home a
few days before Christmas. so that
it will feel more or less at home
and secure by the time the ex-
citement of Christmas day arrives.
Remember that it is like a
small child and will be lonesome
and possibly frightened at being
separated from its family and
taken to unfamiliar surroundings
and should have a quiet introduc-
tion to its new home. This is
especially important with puppies.
A pet can be a rewarding friend
for . child or adult and will re-
spond to love and kindness for
your mutual happiness.

I saw your letter in the Clearing

method Is very good:
Wash and clean goose and re-
move large deposits of fat found in
the body cavity. I find no use for
this fat so throw it away. Wash
bird inside and out, dry. season
cavity and stuff. I use sage and
onion dressing. using giblet broth
for moisture. Roast bird in a rack
at 300 degrees. 80 minutes to
the pound. I pour two cups of
boiling water over bird and bake
until done with the lid on. Never
haste a goose with the greese, but
only use boiling water. Remove
lid for the last hour and for good
measure I roast it an extra half
hour.
For gravy pour off all grease.
leaving just the brown goodness.

This produces moist. dark meat

Diagnosis Difficult

Newcastle disease has nearly dou-
bled the work at the two diagnostic
laboratories-the Livestock Sanitary
Board laboratory at Helena and the
Veterinary Research laboratory at
Montana State college, Bozeman.
The diagnosis of this disease in
chicks under weeks old, or there
about. is quite complicated.
The sick chicks wheeze and gasp
and fight for breath, but so do chicks
affected with bronchitis, another
very common contagious disease of
chicks. A simple pneumonia, result
ing from exposure and chilling, may
at times give the same picture.
A careful post-morten examina-
ton of such chicks shows nothing
definite. There may be evidences of
pneumonia, of plugging of their air.
tubes, but nothing that helps mate
rally in making diagnosis. In these
young chicks suspected of New
castle, we have to resort to the egg
test.
In this test, we remove the brain
from the dead chick, grind it thor
oughly, and inject a small amount
through the shell of a partly incu-
bated egg. We incubate eggs to the
eighth or ninth day, inject them
and wait results. If the injected ma
terial contained the virus of New
castle disease, the chick embyro
will die, sometimes in one day, some
times after three or four days. If
the suspected chick died of some

Don't Buy Trouble
With Your Chicks

THE READERS of this column
must get really fed up with our
constantly repeated warnings about
shipping in Newcastle disease with
imported baby chicks from unreli-
able hatcheries. But, warnings or
no warnings, along in late March
and through April and May, when
the poultry growers of Montana buy
their baby chicks, there is a surpris-
ing number of growers that send
way off to eastern states for their
chicks. And in too many instances
where hatcheries are not extremely
careful as to the source of their eggs
they buy not only chicks, but
package of trouble in the shape of
Newcastle disease.
AS far as we know, there are no
cases of this disease in Montana at
present. There was plenty of it last
spring, shipped in from one source
or another In these outbreaks the
seriously affected chicks died. many
OF the milder cases recovered, and
by midsummer the disease had dis
appeared from the state.
There will be no cases of New
castle disease in Montana in 1851
unless it is imported by some chick
buyer or distributor, from some area
where the disease is present the year
round.

Takes Lots of Eggs

Iakes Lois OF Eggs
This method of making diagnosis
means that from early April to mid
July, we must have eggs constantly
Matching, for we have no way of
knowing when shipment of sick
chicks will arrive. In the spring of
1850 we used nearly 200 dozen eggs,
mostly for the diagnosis of Newcas-
tie disease. 1t is a slow and expen-
sive test, not always definite in its
results and may have to be repeated.
The owner of the chicks wants a
diagnosis by return mail, and as
rule, we can't report, either a posi-
tive or negative report, for four days
or longer.
In these young chicks, there isn't
any shortcut. In chicks three weeks
old or older, blood test can be
made in considerably less time and
at practically no expense Also, in
the older chicks, the brain symptoms
begin to show up, and diagnosis
can often be made on these symp-
toms alone by an experienced per-
son.
The chicks head may be twisted
in all sorts of positions-to either
side, down between the legs, upside
down, etc. The birds may circle
round and round or roll over and
over, etc. A sudden noise or any
disturbance of the chicks will in
crease the crazy antics of these
cases.
Respiratory Disease
The technical name of the disease
Pneumo-encephalitis, means JUS
that, respiratory disease, followed
by brain fever. If there are any
mature laying hens near these New
castle chicks, there will be, soone
or later, a sharp drop in egg produc
ton, practically down to zero. Il
about week there will be SLOW
climb back to normal production
There may be few "goofy'' hens
but almost no mortality. We hardl,
ever see 'bust'' of Newcastle dis
ease in baby chicks without thi
three or four weeks lay-off in eg
production in the laying flock.
There is vaccine hI1t ifs 11ce
seldom justified in Montana becaus
the poultry flocks are too scattere
to permit an epidemic to get rolling
A great deal of investigationa1 wor
is being carried on in the study c
this disease, and some product ma
be devised soon that will check tn
losses caused by Newcastle in yer
young chicks.
At present the buyer of this bunc
of imported chicks that arrived i
bad order will lose from SO to
percent in the next month, an
among those that survive there wi
be pullets that will turn hanc
spring at any sudden noise.
Use Care in Ordering
All in all, this Newcastle disea
is mess, and buyers in 1851 shou
be careful in ordering chicks. Nal

Red Cross In Urgent Appeal For Aid

BANKS WINS

An unfortunate outcome of the BanksSullivan dispute
is its tendency the conjecture that Boston, once
nod culture has been invaded by the stream OF
crime and corruption which be sweeping the coun-
try It be understood however that all the moves to
prevent seating of Banks were legal although as
the straightshootng editorial in the Boston Traveller de-
cared they were carried ridiculous and harmful ex
remes There plenty Of Bostonians who will whole
heartedy strive keep the Hub from being labeled as
dominated by gambling and crookedness Plenty Of them
will resent the unseemy delay in giving former Repre-
sentative Banks his seat the City Council Mayor Hynes
congratulated him upon his receiving his certificate Of cleo
ton from the Election Commission and administered to him
the oath of ofios
The Traveller editorial expresses the sentiment that is
shared by many citizens: "The point Of the Banks case
is not that Mr. Banks Republican Nor is it that he is
coIored the first member of his to be elected to the
Council under the present charter The point is that
duly elected representative of the people of Ward has
been deprived Of his seat.
"Mr Sullivan apparently doesn't know when he's licked

the Ward electorate get away with it,"

additional work for the en-
ployer because the Social Sc
curity Administration must write

some of them made up their own
designs. Next week they will
stencil some of their own ma
terials, such as aprons, blouses or
pillowcases. The gathering was
social as well as practical, and
coffee and brownies were served
at the end of the evening.
Events for the remaining
meetings will be planned accord
ing to the interests Of the
mothers; the first few programs
will center upon arts and crafts.
All intereste d neighborhood
mothers are welcome to attend,
and can contact Mrs. Howard
