Decorative Stitched And Handmade Flowers, Azalea Linfield
SDSU Extension Circulars
The decorations of a garment need not be elaborate or expensive. The elaborately decorated dress is often in poor taste. Simple embroidery or self-trimming add to the appearance of garments. A simple little hand touch will usually add distinction and charm. The most expensive gowns from the most exclusive shops are extremes in simplicity. The more decoration used on ready to wear garments usually the cheaper the garment. Decoration is too often used to hide inferior workmanship and poor quality. The decoration may make or mar the dress. The trimming used must look as though it belonged to the garment.

Phases Of Poultry Work: Caponizing And Capons, Clara M. Sutter
SDSU Extension Circulars
No farmer in South Dakota would think of keeping all male animals for breeding purposes unless he had an opportunity to sell them to other breeders, for he ·would realize that the price on the open market would be much less than for castrated animals. It is a well-known fact that castration changes the male animal so that it is easily handled, less nervous and excitable, and more easily fattened. Therefore, all male sheep, hogs, cattle, and horses not need for breeding purposes are subjected to this operation while young.
