I ” I I i C;ido s « V eb °°' Fall brings an end to some ol summers work and play. It is time to plan new wardrobes. Buying a dress now and then satisfies me but not my girls. Judy is making a blazer in her home economics class at school. And when my older daughter was home she made a two-piece dress from a bright print. Then she hunted the blue tweed, which had been purchased during her trip to Europe a few years ago, and made a long jumper-style gown. Now all they need is a blouse, a skirt, some shoes and new pocketbooks. The list can be endless, can’t it? XXX Lately, I’ve been trying to dig holes in our field to bury a number of cats that died. Last year our biggest ones seemed to just lie down and go to sleep. We think they were probably poisoned. The ground is so hard and I had trouble making a little hole. It made me think of my father and how hard he has worked. I’m not thinking only of farming during the 1920’s and raising acres and acres of tobacco. What I had in mind was the time his driving horse “Bill” died and he dug a huge hole under a black cherry tree to bury him. It must have been a labor of love.

McCOMSEY & SONS Manheim, Pa. limas, I hear the wild geese honking overhead as they fly south. When I stop to observe them, I notice that they are forever changing formation. They remind me of people who forge to the front of the line only to drop back again, often through no fault of their own. As they take a breather, others replace them until eventually they go forward again. As long as we can look ahead to the next minute, week, or year, we press onward through good fortune and misfortune.

Vacuum Cleaning Hints Three types of dirt need to be removed from rugs: —dust that settles over fur niture, carpets, etc. —litter - threads, ravelings, dog and cat hairs, etc., often difficult to remove from carpets —heavy dirt - mud, sand, oil tracked into the house, very harmful to carpets as the grit gets imbedded and cuts off the rug pile. Three basic cleaning principles used in vacuum cleaners: Suction - used in tank or cannister cleaners. Some have power driven attachment for brush to make it more like an upright cleaner. -Motor-driven brush-type - has nozzle with rotating brush which helps to loosen dirt to be removed by suction. Usually an up right cleaner. —Motor-driven agitator - uses all three cleaning principles - suction, motor-driven brush and agitator. The motor-driven roll has brushes to remove litter and metal bars that beat the rug as it is lifted to the nozzle by the suction. The beating action loosens embedded dirt for removal by suction. Choose your vacuum cleaner on the basis of whether you have much carpeting or more floor and above-floor cleaning. If you have wall-to-wall car peting or valuable rugs, cleaning these floor coverings may represent the biggest job you want your cleaner to do. An upright cleaner with motor driven brushes and beater bars combine to give a vibrating, sweeping, suction that does the best job in removing deeply embedded dirt from caprets. Suction alone will not clean deeply embedded sand and dirt. Hickory Hill, Pa. Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 14,1972 But keep in mind that at tachments for upright cleaners may cost extra and may not be as convenient to use in above the floor cleaning. For above the floor cleaning - walls, draperies, upholstery, books and furniture, suction is important and here a tank or cannister type vacuum is recommended. Attachments are usually easier to use on these and they are generally included in the price of the cleaner. No matter which type of vacuum you choose, remember that the higher the horsepower in the motor, the better the work the vacuum will do. Two things determine suction—the size of the motor and the way the fan is made. That includes the number and size of the blades, size of the fan, and design of the fan chamber in which it rotates.

Whipped Toppings and Non-Dairy Creams These non-dairy products usually are made with coconut oil, a saturated fat. Both products are a no no for low fat or fat resistant diets calling for un saturated fats. Non-dairy creams are said to have a higher amount of saturated fatty acids than does cream.

Sanitation helps prevent a rapid buildup of roaches, but periodic ap plications of insecticides may be needed. Contact your county agent (Cooperative Extension Service) for further information. Always follow carefully the directions on labels of pesticide containers. A tractor operator cannot move fast enough to save himself if the tractor he is operating flips back wards, say Extension agricultural engineers at Penn sylvania State University. Tractor operators should avoid the practice of racing or gunning the engine when the drive wheels are mired deeply. Don’t take a chance. Back out. •MORE MM* MORE MEfll •more fhofit Madison Silos Div.
