Cleaning Painted Walls Made Easy Lafayette, Ind., February 4. — Cleaning painted walls can be made an easier job with good equipment and better methods. The regular use of the vacuum attachment brush and extension wands will remove the surface dust or grime before it becomes firmly attached to the walls. To insure good results when washing painted walls they should be washed before they become excessively soiled. Commercial cleaners, especially prepared for painted surfaces will help to do a good job. Miss Gertrude Monhaut, extension home management specialist at Purdue University, points out that the results from using any cleaner will depend upon the

hardness, thickness, and surface texture of the paint, smocfthness of the wall and the nature of the soil. Soft water with these cleaners will wash dirt away with less rubbing and wear on .wall surface. If hard water must be’ used, a non-precipatating water softener may be added, or a synthetic detergent type of wall cleaner may be used. When washing painted walls, the work should be started at the bottom and worked up toward the ceiling. If they are washed at the top first, water may run down over the soiled wall, making streaks which are difficult to remove. Water running down a clean wall can be easily sponged off without danger of smearing the surface. Small sections of wall should be washed at a time to prevent streaking and water should be changed frequently. A cellulose sponge or a longhandled sponge mop will make the job easier. If the homemaker does not have a sponge, an old bath towel will do a fair job because it is rough yet absorbs well.

TIMELYTOPICS By Mrs. Ruth R. Snellenberger Home Demonstration Agent Food is a topic of interest to everyone, isn’t it? In about every conversation concerning it someone is sure to remark about the high cost of food. Right? So| here’s a thought I’d like to pass on to you: Consumer demand for an item is.a factor causing the price to go up and/or stay up! Here’s an example of how consumer demand affects the price of a food item. When a hog is butchered there may be both “center cut chops” and .‘end cut chops”. Because many persons prefer and purchase center cut chops, the price per pound goes up while the price of end cut chops is as much as 20 cents less on the pound. This then should appeal to those persons trying to keep food costs down. If a butcher did not make this great difference he would have an over supply of end cut chops on hand Can you think of other food items that may $e priced similarly? Some time ago Mrs. Norman Huffer of Warsaw vicinity asked about the proper placing of a salad fork for a dinner place set. ting. Mrs. Huffer stated that she had generally practiced placing the salad fork to the left of the dinner fork, but recently she had seen a picture showing the salac fork next to the plate, with th ■ dinner fork on the outside. In reply to the inquiry, generally speaking our rule is to use silverware arranged from the out side in. Thus if the plates are , filled and guests eat salad before ! the main course, the salad '■ fork 5' would be placed on the outside. If Tood was to be passed at the dinner table, the guests eat cif the main course before the salad, then the dinner forks would tej placed on the outside with the salad forks nearer the plate. The placing then would actually depend on which food the guesls would be most likely to eat firs t. If a fork were needed for the dessert, a dessert fork would let placed closest to the plate.! Whether you placed the dessert fork in the place setting or not would depend on how you planned to serve the dessert. DEATHS MRS. NELLIE TYLER Funeral services were held ip North Webster Sunday at 1:30 pj m. at the Troxel funeral home Mrs. Nellie Tyler, aged 64, wfiq died of a heart ailment Wednesday at 11 a.m., at the home of sister, Mrs. Charles Richcreek, south of Syracuse.

Correct Milking Helps Control Mastitis Lafayette, Ind., Feb. 4. — 'The high producing cow is the me which most often surfers from mastitis. It is because her udder is a hardworking “mechanism” susceptible to injury and infection, says Dr. F. A. Hall, Purdue University veterinarian. The Purdue man reports that about 50 percent of the cows in all herds tested by the University have shown some trace of the infection. There are so many opportunities for injury to the udder that it’s virtually impossible to “eliminate” mastitis in the sense that Brucellosis or T. B. cam.be eliminated. Perhaps the most important control measure, advises Dr. Hall, is to maintain correct vacuum pressure in the milking machine line and at the teat cups. It is a good idea to have the milking machine service man check line pressure .because the gauge may not always be dependable. Other good management practices are to avoid over-crowding in the tramp shed, or in the conventional dairy barn, and ti> see to it that stalls and platforms are long enough and wide enoug !i to afford protection to the bow’s udder.

GOOD PASTURE MEANS INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION, DAIRY WINNERS SHOW IK

E. R. Beaty and his sons/ of 1 Huntington County, are firm be-I ■lievers in a good pasture program for their dairy herd. It I pays off in increased milk production at lower cost. The Beatys, who won the dairy ( division of the County Green Pas- ■ ture program last year, are the ' subject of this month’s education- j al circular being distributed to j dairy farmers of this area by the Northeastern Indiana Milk and Cream Processors. The circular was prepared in cooperation with county agents and the Purdue University Agricultural Extension Service. Mr. Beaty and his son, Bob, i are shown above talking over plans for another championship j pasture program. Bob, who gradj uated from Purdue in 1950, manages the farm while his dad handles the purebred livestock j business. These Huntington County farmers are sold on the ladino clo-ver-alfalfa pasture mixture. They I can get 180 days of pasture each year, and : the cows can be taken out as early in the spring as with balboa rye. Usually the Beatys don’t pasture the first year’s

growth, and as a general rule they keep a field in the pasture mikture for two years. In the championship 8.2-acre pasture, their herd of 33 Guernseys increased milk production from 13.5 to 17.5 cans per day during a 90-day period. The field was seeded with a mixture of two pounds of ladino clover, 10 pounds of alfalfa, five pounds of bromegrass, and one pound of timothy per acre. The timothy and bromegrass were seeded in with wheat in the fall of 1949, and the ladino and alfalfa were seeded in the spring of J. 9'50. The wheat was fertilized with 200 pounds of 3-12-12 per acre, and after it was harvested, the straw was clipped and removed. That fall, the entire field was & covered with a light top dressing of manure and 300 pounds per acre of ot-20-0 fertilizer. The Beatys obtain pasture volume and quality with their practices of heavy seeding and extra fertilizing with manure and phosphate in the fall and by not pasturing the new grass to allow it to get all of the vigorous nearly growth possible.

Leaflet Aids In Timber Selling Lafayette, Ind., Feb. 4.—Considerable farm timber is being sold at less than its actual value, according to reports being received by the department of forestry at Purdue University. These sales are usually made through lack of knowledge of correct procedures, the foresters say. At the same time, other timber sales show that good prices are being paid for high quality timber for speciality uses and also a number of farm sales reflect good marketing through the equitable prices being paid. E. J. Lott, extension forester, says, “Timber marketing is no different than the marketing of any other farm crop. It requires the application of the same business principles in order to obtain fair market value.” A new leaflet of the Agricultural Extension Service, Mimeo F-8, “Marketing Farm Timber”, gives step-by-step instructions for timber marketing. The leaflet emphasises what should be sold, when to sell and ways to sell. The leaflet also lists field foresters in Indiana who are available to assist farmers wishing to market timber. Copies of the leaflet are available, free, from the department of forestry at Purdue. Another service of the Purdue foresters is the fTimber Marketing bulletin. The issue for Jan. 15, 11952, lists 42 items of forest products either for sale or wanted in 30 counties. The bulletin is received by sawmills and wood using industries throughout In-

from where I sit... Joe Marsh Experienced Hand Wanted

Cappy Miller’s back from visiting relatives and tells about a big snow storm that knocked out the electric power for miles around. Naturally, the local power company was doing everything possible to restore service but folks kept calling in and one woman gave them a new twist. “I don’t mind not having lights,” she grumbled, “but I’ve got 20 cows in my barn and they all have to be milked by machine. Nobody around here knows how to milk a cow by hand any more.”

XX. C. T. V. WILL MEET The February meeting will be i held in the home of Mrs. Leonard ' Barnhart, North Huntington St., on Tuesday, February 12th, at 1: 30 p. m., with Mrs. Mock and Mrs. Long assisting hostesses.

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Thornburg Jr., returned Monday from a two weeks’ vacation in Florida.

From where I sit, it’s only too easy to forget how to do something—even as simple as milking a cow—if we don’t keep at it. And that goes for practicing tolerance, too. Like forgetting our neighbor has a right; to decide for himself whether or not to enjoy a temperate glass of beer. If we don’t keep the other fellow’s point of view in mind we’re all liable to get “snowed under” by intolerance. Ae
