CHEESE Cottage cheese was named be cause it was first made in one’s, own cottage kitchen. This tasty cheese of humble origin makes up about a fourth of today’s total' cheese production.

For centuries the Greeks and Romans considered lettuce a delicacy for only noblemen to en joy. Today lettuce is the queen of every salad bowl and known to be important as a good source of vitamons and minerals So take advantage of possible low prices and include lettuce often on your early spring menus. Lettuce needs little preparation and is dehcipus by itself or with other foods Good quality head lettuce is fresh looking, crisp, and firm to touch It should be free from decay. A slight reddish dis coloration at the stem end does not indicate an unfresh head. Re move withered leaves and rinse lettuce under running water. Then dram or shake off excess water and refrigerate the lettuce in a covered container That’s about all we have for you this week. Be seeing you next Friday.

Lancaster Farming, Friday, May 3, 1957—9 Warm Soft Water, Special Care, Required for Wool, Orion Blankets When you wash an Orion blanket, it is best to follow the manufacturer’s directions. But if you have misplaced the instruc tions, here are some general di rections for washing Orion blank ets by hand or by machine. Before washing either way, treat soiled spots or soil on bind ings with a soap or detergent solu tion. If you use a machine, wash only one blanket at a time. In soft wat er, use either a synthetic deter gent or soap. In hard water, add a softener if you use soap. Use warm water (100 degrees) and wash the blanket five minutes. Cut the final spin-dry cycle to two or three minutes-to avoid wrink ling. If your machine has a spe cial fabric cycle, lot it run to com pletion. Dry by hanging evenly on a line, or use a dryer. If you use the dryer, let the blanket tumble at low heat (120 to 140 degrees) about 20 minutes. Remove from, dryer as soon as it is completely dry. Don’t let it oveidry. If you wash Orion blanket by hand, follow the same directions for water and detergent as for machine washing. Rinse in warm water until no suds appear. Squeeze out excess water gently, but do not twist or wring. Straigh ten blanket, smooth bindings and let dry on the line or in the dry er. If you want to press the bind ings, use a steam iron or a dry iron at a rayon or synthetic set ting and a press cloth. You can fluff up the nap by using a soft brush after the blanket is dry. WOOLENS Brush, remove from GREIDER LEGHORN FARMS, Inc. Mr. Poultryman! What About You? Are you one of those who did not start chicks, or started only part of the chicks needed to fill your houses’ How are you going to teel this fall and winter when egg prices are good and you without pullets’ Egg pncbs are going to get better’ Hard to believe may be, but true. Nationwide Hatchery Reports show replacement chicks off 20%. “Far too large a cut-back” says Dr Alfred Van Wagenen, NEPPCO managing director A 10% cut would have been plenty “A 600 egg market probable” sajs Harold ( R Klahold, President of NEPPCO . May and June Chicks Do They Pay? Some poultry men claim that they are the most profit able Brooding costs are low and chicks usually require ,less care 'and attention at this time of the year Liveability is usually better than average, with less chance of respi ratory troubles. These pullets will come into .production in late fall and early winter, at a time when pullet and medium sued eggs are a good price, and will be laying lots of large eggs the following summer and fall when large eggs bring a premium. May and June chicks are slower maturing, but can be brought into production by the use of artificial light in the fall. Why Buy Greider Super - Cross Chicks? For the simple reason that Greider birds are making money, even at the low egg prices! There are a few per haps, but very few, Greider flocks that are not laying well' Check around and see if this isn’t true. There are hundreds of Greider Hocks in Lancaster County alone. We can take orders from May 23rd on. Write or call for our reduced summer prices. Greider leghorn Farms, Inc. Mt.

Keep water luke warm by testing with your elbow for a comfortable warm feeling. Thoroughly dissolve a water softener in water before adding the neutral soapflakes to be sure the water has softened. If the water and soap solution makes small beads of soap curds around the bowl or pan, use a water softener. These curds «of sinsolu ble mineral salts give harshness to woolens by sticking to the fib ers and causing the fabric to look greyed. By softening the water, you dissolve these curds Rinse garments until the water is clear. While garments are out of the closet, give the closet - walls, shelves* storage boxes, or cloth ing bags a good cleaning and air ing. Buy special moth treatment for woolens at dry cleaners. The added cost for this service is w’orth the price if you have a con sistent yearly problem of moth damage. When the freshly washed, or cleaned garments are ready for storage, hang garments in bags which can be sealed, or store in clean boxes and seal with gummed paper or adhesive tape HEAR The Mennonlte Hour Each Sunday Lancaster WLAN 12:30 P.
