CO-OPERATION 
A New Book By John J. Dillon 
This book is written in three parts. 
PART ONE—The Development of the 
Agricultural Industry. In five chapters. 
PART TWO—Fundamental Principles 
and Adaptable Forms of Co-operative 
Organization. In ten chapters. 
PART THREE—Application of Co-op¬ 
eration to Efficient and Economic Distri¬ 
bution of Farm Products. In seven 
chapters. 
This is a new treatment of the co-oper¬ 
ative subject. Heretofore writers of books 
have contented themselves with accounts 
of co-operative work where established. 
It has been mostly propaganda and ex¬ 
hortation. This was all good in its time. 
But we have grown beyond it. Farmers 
are now committed to co-operation. Once 
shy of it, they are at last a unit for it. 
What they want now is principles and 
definite policies that have proved success¬ 
ful. This book is the first real attempt to 
supply this want. Other, and it is to be 
hoped better, books will follow on this 
line; but for the present there is no other 
book seriously treating the subject of 
orgarpzed co-operation.

Make Use of the Dye Pot 
How often on one of these bright 
Spring mornings have you longed for a 
touch of color in your costume to vie 
with nature's bright ones. Beautiful col¬ 
ors are within your reach if you will use 
the ever-ready dye pot. The blue color 
which results from your efforts may not 
be exactly a royal, madonna or China 
Blue, the green a reseda, almond or jade, 
the red a rust, flame, American Beauty 
or sheik, as the popular names go, but 
you are almost sure to obtain lovely col¬ 
ors. Furthermore, the element of econ¬ 
omy is an important factor which should 
influence the wide use of the dye pot in 
the home. 
For my own use, I prefer a soap dye 
which will color silk, wool and cottou. 
It is hecessary to follow the printed di¬ 
rections which come with all commercial 
dyes. Use a tin, copper or enamel recep¬ 
tacle ; never a galvanized one. The re¬ 
ceptacle must be large enough for the dye 
bath to cover completely the articles to 
be dyed. Materials to be dyed should be 
wetted with warm water, then immersed 
in the dye bath and stirred often with a 
wooden stick. If care is taken with these 
two steps there will be no danger of 
streaking. For deep shades it is neces¬ 
sary to boil the materials the length of 
time specified in the printed instructions, 
and to set the color with salt or vinegar, 
as specified ; also to rinse until the rinse 
water shows no color. For tints and 
light shades, articles may be dipped into 
the dye bath often along with cloth which 
is being dyed a dark color. Never at¬ 
tempt to dye a dark shade, light. It is 
often possible to remove undesirable color 
with sal soda and boiling water, and then 
to (lye it a desired color. 
When dyeing a certain piece of materi¬ 
al it is economy to collect a number of 
articles which can be brightened or their 
color changed in the one dye bath. For 
instance, 1 recently dyed a gray linen 
suit an old blue. The suit weighed 1 lb., 
the amount which one package of dye will 
color. However, since it was rather a 
dark gray, and faded in spots, I allowed 
two packages of bright blue dye to the 
dye bath. I wetted the suit and im¬ 
mersed it in the boiling water, stirring it 
'yell with a wooden stick. While it con¬ 
tinued to boil I dipped a crepe de chine 
bonnet for my little girl. The bonnet 
had been pink, but faded almost white. 
It came out of the dye bath a very pretty 
light blue. The ribbons I left in the 
water a bit longer and they were a darker 
blue. The white ostrich feathers which 
trimmed the hat I cleaned with gasoline 
and curled with a knife. The bonnet 
then looked like new, and in fact was 
really prettier than it was originally. 
I used this same dye bath to freshen 
two dresses, one a faded blue voile, and 
the other a child’s gingham dress. Then, 
before removing the linen suit, I dipped 
a child’s blue broadcloth coat which was 
slightly shabby. The coat was white orig¬ 
inally, but was transformed by the use of 
bright blue dye the season before. At the 
same time I colored enough unbleached 
muslin from my scrap basket to make a 
bloomer dress for a two-year-old. 
Unbleached muslin dyed will also make 
lovely over-draperies for windows. I once 
had a quantity of it which had been used 
for exhibit tables, and was too coarse for 
general use. I dyed it a soft gold color, 
using a yellow and a brown (lye, in the 
proportion of two to one. I cut the mus- 
ling the desired lengths, then marked off 
ii pattern for tied dyeing, placing a mark 
in the center of each figure to be made. 
Taking up the material at this point, I 
drew it together and wrapped it with 
white thread an inch down from the 
point. When the material came out of 
the dye each drapery was marked with a 
series of cream-colored circles. I did not 
iron it, and it looked like crepe. 
On another occasion I wished to use a 
white corded wool skirt, which had grown 
yellow with age and laundering. I re¬ 
sorted to the use of lhe dye pot, and with 
two packages of pink dye I colored the 
skirt and a new piece of material like it, 
so that there was sufficient material to 
make a pretty baby coat. The woolen ma¬ 
terial did not take color very quickly, so 
there was time to dip a crepe bonnet 
while waiting. ' This dyed a deep pink 
almost immediately. A knitted cap whicn 
had been blue and faded to cream, took 
some time to color, but came out a lovely 
.soft shade of pink, and looked like l non 
bonnet. After this I removed the woolen 
cloth which 1 began with, and leaving it 
in the rinse water made use of the re¬ 
maining color in the dye hath. I put in 
a faded silk baby coat, a pair of white 
socks, small piece of silk for cap linings, 
and several ribbons. When I had fin¬ 
ished there was riot a bit of color left in 
the dye bath, and every article was a 
different shade of pink. The coat materi¬ 
al was a coral pink, the silk cap a bright 
pink, the wool cap a soft shade, the coat 
almost an old rose, and some of the rib¬ 
bons which had been blue, a delicate lav¬ 
ender. 
Millinery materials, too, can be reju¬ 
venated in the dye pot. Bright colored 
velvets and duvetyns take color readily. 
Velvets which are slightly worn may be 
ironed on the right side and you have a 
panne velvet as the result. Natural color 
pongee will dye beautiful shades, many 
of which are not available in the stores. 
It is important to iron all dyed materials 
while they are damp, streaks often re¬ 
sulting from dampening after the cloth 
has dried. e. r, d,
