by either music or readings given by
various members of the Homer school
which was highly appreciated.
Miss Rankin, home demonstration
agent of Woodbury county, Iowa, gave
a very interesting demonstration on
"Short Cuts In Sewing." She showed
how machine darning can bo neatly
done. To do this work the foot of
tho machine must bo tied Up so that
it is about one-sixteenth inch from
the feed. This allows the work to be
drawn backward and forward sd that
both woof and Warp threads can bo
put on. Overcasting can also bo dono
by stitching in a zig-zag lino when
the machine is in the same, position.
Another part that received many
favorable comments was the making
of bound button holes, This js demo
by binding a strip as wjde as finished
buon holes are to bo apart, then
cut crosswise into strips one-half an
Inph wider than the buttons to bo
used, then stitch strips together and
then, stitch the strip to the garment,
then, bind bqth sides, ,
Mrs, Raymond Voss sravo a verv
interesting and instructive talk on
pquury raising, She emphasized tho
necessity of being qualified for this
business to make it n real success -that
is hard and continuous work.
Shoalso spoke of. tho value of culling
considering tho capacity, condition,
typo and vigor as the essential pointe;
how the loss of vigor in poultry veiv
frequently comes from inbreeding,
use of pullets and Immature mnlo

If the suggestions given by Mrs.
Voss aro put into practice by some
of our poultrymen, better results
would bo ob.tajncd from poultry rais
ing. RHss Lucado, home demonstration
agent of Thurston county, judged tho
exhibits, She explained very fully
the points which aro always conuid
ercd In judging. This was appreci
ated by the exhibitors and will help
to make our exhibit larger and better
another year.
It is a good idea to begin now to
think about things that you will ex
hibit next year. During tho year
collect various pieces of your fancy
work so as to have them ready to en
ter. When canning your vegetables
keep in mind that the appearance of
tho product which includes texture,
uniformity and color; the appearanco
of the liquid and the containers are
always considered In scoring.
