STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKER
By VERNON STANTON
Assistant State Agent
It is important to purchase sheets
with care to be assured of com
plete satisfaction and long service.
Labels on sheets and pillow cases
give type of construction, the size
of the sheets, the size of the bed
they are intended for, and the size
' pillow for which the casses are in
tended. Make your sheet purchases
| wisely with a view toward long
service and complete satisfaction.
If homemakers know their facts
they can be confident of buying
exactly the right sheets to meet
their particular needs.
The following information is
what homemakers should look for:

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.
Methods that will prevent sheep
from becoming infested with in
ternal parasites, together with im
proved control measures, are to be
sought through a research project
under the Research and Marketing
Act of 194/5.

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.
Control ot injects on livestock to get the greatest benefits from
la one of the measures necessary feed consumed according to USDA.
