Plan Ahead What to Buy or
Make for Family.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.) i
Early in April your family will beKin
to need wash dresses und other
cool clothes. You will probably be
inspired to take stock of what is on
hand for each person in the household,
and to plan in advance what
must be bought or made to complete
their various wardrobes. Dresses that
seemed scarcely affected by last year's
sun when you put them away, will
look diseouragingly faded when you
take them out. And the children have
an unfailing habit of adding to the (
length .of their legs every winter, so
that Mary's dresses have to go down |
to Jane, and Jane's must be given
away to some still smaller child. After
you have let down all the hems
I... l..e ,1....... t .11

the ctuingps that allow for longer or |
plumper :irms, bigger necks or chests, ]
yon will know wlint materials you actually
have to buy and make up. 1
Let us suppose that you are anxious i
to produce the children's school clothes |
and the house dresses you will need :
this season with the least possible <
interruption to other tasks. You can i
make every minute count if you plan, |
and use what might be termed the i
wholesale method In sewing. This con- <
sists of doing a great deal of one kind i
of work before changing one's 1110- 1
tions to another kind, acquiring speed I
as one goes along. 1
First provide a good foundation pattern
to fit each one who needs new '
clothes. Tills may be a commercial '
pattern of simple design, or one you
have niade according to measurements. '
With a little practice in using such a
pattern you can cut from It very rapidly.
and vary the trimming so as to '
seem to have many different designs.
You don't want to dress your family 1
in a uniform, of cdurse, hut in making
underwear if you buy enough goods of '
the same kind to make several gar
menta you will use the goods to bet- 1
ter advantage and save time In handling
it.
Out as many garments out at one
time as you can. I'in the parts of each
securely together with the scraps that ,
match, or put it in a box by itself.
When you have cut even one dress .
by a given pattern the next can be .
cut a great deal faster, because you
know tiow to place the pattern on
the material in the best way. While (
you are cutting these dresses out,
trt ollna' home ta'ipa 514
deep as you need. This extra material
Is convenient when the time
comes to lengthen the dress.
The next part of your work is the
machine stitching. Most wash materials
have body enough and are so
smoothly and firmly woven, that you
can stitch many parts of your garm- i
tmts directly on the machine without
basting. Don't stitch a seam or two,
and then stop to turn, trim, or baste.
That Is a slow method. Stitch straight ]
through the entire lot you have cut ,
out, until you can do no more without ,
folding or basting. Keep the parts of ,
each garment together. Next go ,
through all the garments, trimming, |
pressing fells, putting in gathers, or ,
whatever has to lie done, until all ,
the dresses are ready for more ma- ,
chine work. By the time you have ,
stitched them once more you will havo |
plenty of "pick-up" work on hand, to j
he done In odd minutes. There will 'be i
binding and buttonholes and pockpts, ,
sleeves, hems, collars, and other |
finishing work, much of which must |
be in part done by hand. j
Just one more hint to the mother
who makes many little garments: buy (
a lot of the same kind of buttons? t
a stock design, easy to duplicate-^ '
and always keep a reserve card on t
hand. Then you won't have to hunt (
to match the buttons that come ofT, 1
and little dresses will always look 1
neat '

GOOSE EGGS
WITH INCUBATORS
Goose eggs can he hatched with incubators
even to better advantage than
with hens for various reasons. Where
hens or geese are used, they are apt
to break the eggs, and again let them
chill. The first eggs from your geese
will arrive while the cold weather still
continues, and must he picked up early
in the morning before they become
chilled; geese invariably lay in the
very early hours of the morning, or
late at night, says a writer in the
itural New Yorker.
Keep eggs in a moderately warm
location?around ">0 degrees in cold
weather. When you have suflicient number
to put into tiie incubator it should
be started. Goose eggs, like liens" eggs,
hatch best when fresh, not more than
ten days old. Place your incubator in
11 moist, but not too damp cellar, as
goose eggs will require much more
moisture to hutch them than is the
rase with hens' eggs. Itun the machine
at as near 1(K degrees as is
possible from start to finish. Turn
pggs twice daily after the beginning
of the third day. Always turn goose
pggs by hand; handle them with much
care. Stop turning on the twentylift
h day. Goose eggs should lie
cooled half an hour each day in a
temperature not below 60 degrees: if
the cellar seems below this temperature.
remove the eggs to proper point.
After the third week, sprinkle
warm water over the eggs once daily.

shells are dry and hard, there
Isn't enough moisture, and unless this
is supplied, they will stick in the
shells. Keep the eggs quite moist
wlille hatching, by adding a pie plate
nf wet sand to the bottom of machine.
Leave goslings in incubator until all
are thoroughly dry, usually 36 hours.
Remove then to a box in the kitchen
by the stove, unless a brooder has already
been provided for. Goslings are
pnsy to raise, and grow very rapidly.
Water them in a vessel which cannot
be overturned, nor into whicli they can

times. Feed sprouted oats, gravel.

Poultry,* of all farm stock, is most

The hen that cackles the loudest is

A hen will eat from one to two

More eggs follow a ration that con:ains

Washing soiled or dirty eggs does
lot make them more salable. In fact,
washing an egg lessens its keeping
ualities by opening the pores so that
jvaporation is more rapid.
Don't forget some coarse sand or

start. They must have it for proper

To keep pullets laying regularly,
watch carefully the amounts of grain
