Phone 139 Sytva, N. C. THE OLD HOME TOWN ??? By STANLEY What is the thread count of a sheet? Thread count is the number of warp and weft threads to the square inch. The more threads to the square inch, the finer and smoother the sheet. Muslin sheeting is best for hard wear for it is heavier arid more durable. Percale sheets are lighter in weight than muslin. They are not the bc-tt choice for hard usage. What is "torn size?" "Torn size" is the size of sheet before hemming. The sheet will run about ten inches less than the torn size. That is why a 108-inch length always recom mended for a full-length bed. It f.llcws for ample tuck-in and fold over. Never buy anything shorter than a 99-inch length for a full length bed. Feet will surely hang out at the bottom if you do! Sizes for twin bed (39 inch width) ? sheet 72x108 inches; double bed (54 inches wide) ? sheet 90x108 inihes; single bed or lot ? sheet 63x108 inches. ~ When buying pillow cases, a good general rule is to buy a case that is two inches wider than the mea surement around the pillow, and long enough to fall a few inches below the end of the pillow.

STATE COLLEGE | ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION?What is the most desirable weight for butchering hogs: ANSWER?While it is true that hogs can be killed over a wide range of weights, nevertheless, hogs weighing from 200 to 300 pounds .will generally prove most satis factory for use on the farm. Heavy hogs generally yield a higher per centage of lard. Care should be taken to select hogs that are well fattened out and that are free from disease. Hogs should be taken off feed at least 24 hours before slau ghter although they should have free access to all the water they will drink. Removing the feed before slaughter facilitates slaughtering and results in a better bleed. Hogs should be handled quietly to pre vent them from becoming excited t and over heated. QUESTION?How old should a calf be before feeding it skim-milk? ANSWER?Extension Dairy spe cialists at State College say, if a calf is doing well at the end of the second week the whole milk can be gradually replaced with skim milk. The change from whole milk to skim-milk should be grad ual at the rate of about one pound per day, requiring eight or ten days to make it complete. If the calf should show symptoms of scouring while the change is being made, delay any further substitu tion of skim-milk for whole milk until these symptoms disappear. All foam should be removed from the fekim-milk before it is fed. The daily allowance can gradually be increased until the calf is receiving sixteen to twenty pounds at six months of age. A{ this age, skim milk may be discontinued from the calf's ration. However, on farms where it is plentiful, it may be fed to advantage up to eight months of age. One way to increase the supply of grains for human food is to stop feeding so much of it to rats, grain weevils, and other insect pests. The U. S. Department of Agricul ture estimates that insects cause the loss of at least 5 per cent of stored grain and cereal products every year. Rodents destroy an other 4 per cent, according to re liable estimates. When translated into money, these losses represent $350,000,000 worth of stoied grains annually at 1945 prices and rats I and mice account for another $200, 000,000 worth.
