Old Farmer’s Riddle: Which candles burn longer, the candles
in .1 hii thday cake or those in a candlestick? (Answer below.)
Ask the Old Fanner: This
bothers me. What becomes of
the millions and millions of
fish that die in the ocean?
The ocean floor must be feet
deep with them. The big ones
eat the little ones, but they
too have to die M F S , Par
sons, Kan.
You must have been rendmq
that poem about tin ‘great fleas have little fleas upon their
backs to bite ’em" and so on. Things don’t work like that in
the ocean If a big fish gets crippled, it’s more likely that
scveial hunched little ones tackle him and clear him to the
backbone WhaU vci goes to the bottom, and there is plenty,
works out just like fertilizer on a corn field. As a matter of
fact, tin bottom of the ocean raises a crop of vegetation every
year or ofierier.
Home Hints Shake coarse salt on window sashes to prevent them from
freezing When a. broom weais shorter on one side, dip it in hot water,
turn it evenly with hedge shears and it will sweep better Riddle angwer
They all burn shoiter

ANNOUNCEMENT - 1-9-73
U.S D.A banned the importation
of all fresh poultry meat into the
U S and placed restriction on the
importationof table eggs. The
new restriction on table eggs
requires that all imported eggs
be washed, sanitized, and packed
in new cartons, flats, dividers,
and crates. Further, these eggs
must be certified by a veterinary
official of the exporting nation as
having come from flocks proved
to be free of Newcastle disease
through the use of sentinel birds.
Certification will not be required
if the eggs are sent under seal
directly from the port of entry to
an approved egg processing plant
for breaking and pasteruization
under federal egg inspection
supervision The same exemption
for poultry meat from Canada
will cover eggs imported from
Canada

SPIRIT
Red Rose High Spirit helps
develop that extra some
thing you can see in a ''
horse or pony of great
breeding. It helps provide
pep, vigor, i.'rve, stamina; _
it helps build a horse's red
blood count, muscles, and
bones. After following an
approved feeding schedule
of High Spirit, you'll notice
your horse's increased alert
ness, glossier coat, and
brighter eyes. TRY IT!
