This spring I’ve been plagued
by squirrels. They run across the
porch roof in the morning, they
dig up the lima beans and run
through the garden even when
I’m outside hoeing.
They got my dander up so I
headed for Jeff’s gun cabinet but
couldn’t find the clip to my
favorite gun - the .22 rifle.
(Someone who reads this article
borrowed it and didn’t return it.)
So I took my deer hunting

shotgun and hit one in a tree. It
dropped but when I hit it with the
stock of the gun it broke off as a
bolt snapped.
«• Next time I selected a double
barrel shotgun and the proper
gauge shell and killed two more
in the yard. I may have scared a
few cows out of half a days milk
but now I’m hoping we’ll get to
eat the garden produce instead of
them.

• Salt tablets won’t really help
the athlete when he sweats. He’s
already lost a lot of body water.
To dissolve the salt tablet in his
body it takes more water from his
blood. And before the water can
get back into his blood stream
he’s lost still more water per
spiring- So it’s a useless pro
cedure. Just have him drink a lot
of water instead. The salt that a
person needs, he can get with his
regular food.
• There is no diet that will pre
vent arthritis, or cure it. But good
nutrition is an important factor
in the successful treatment of
arthritis. You need protein, cal
cium and other minerals and vita
mins all provided by foods in
the four food groups. Dietary ad

The land in this loop in the
Conestoga Creek, which we call
our farm, has been farmed for at
least 200 yeariT Therefore when I
dig and hoe there are often
surprises hidden in the ground.
One day I found a 1903 In
dianhead penny and an odd
colored piece of dish. When I
planted 150 marigold plants back
of the house, I found a rusted
piece of metal used to keep the
shutters open.
There was an Indian settlement
at the confluence of the Cocalico
and Conestoga Creeks near here -
- so it is told and sometimes we’re
lucky enough to find a nice
arrowhead.

There is always something
happening on a farm. Our four
pigs just discovered their electric
fence had shorted out. So they
had a lovely time rooting up the
sawdust around the blueberries
before I saw them.
I can’t chase them! They just
run after me when I turn my
back. Why, they even crawled
into an antique canoe made by
my great-uncle 70 years ago and
tore the canvas.

NUTRITION
•By eating a good breakfast
you’ll find it easier to control
weight. You’ll be less tempted to
fill up mid-moming with poorly
chosen snacks (the kind that are
high in calories, but low in the
nutrients you need). Breakfast
“skippers” often end up with
more calories for the day than do
breakfast “eaters”.
• A good point for everyone to
keep in mind is to “choose calor
ies by the company they keep.”
The calories in milk, for example,
keep company with protein, cal
cium, riboflavin and significant
amounts of many other nutrients.
The calories in meat and eggs
keep company chiefly with pro
tein, iron, and thiamine.
• Beside providing energy, carbo
hydrates add enjoyment to our
meals because of the flavors they
offer. The sweetness of sugar
makes many foods more palatable
Then there are foods that are
sweetened by their own sugars
For example, young peas and com
and other vegetables are sweeter

tasting than older, riper plant
foods that contain little sugar.
• Is fat essential in your diet?
The answer is “Yes-" Some fat is
necessary for good nutrition.
Some fats provide vitamins A,
D, E, and K, and some are im
portant as sources of essential fat
ty acids. Fat is a concentrated
source of calories. The fats you
use for energy will save other
nutrients such as protein for body
building and repair.
• Don’t be afraid of an occasional
snack for your pre-school child.
If food he’s eating provides essen
tial nutrients, it’ll be all right. In
fact, young children can become
too hungry from one meal to the
next, and overtired, so they be
come irritable and unable to eat
well when regular mealtime rolls
around.
Fix-It Tip
What stops many people
from painting a room is the
mess that generally results.
Before you begin, clear the
room. What cannot be re
moved should be covered,
even if it is at the other end
of the room.
Spread plenty of newspa
pers around and try to use
cotton dropcloths because
they absorb paint drops. You
can’t have too many dry rags
on hand for wiping up spat
tered paint. Do not use rags
soaked in a solvent. That
makes for a bigger mess.
For a final cleanup, use
turpentine on the rags for
oil-based paints, soap and
water for latex paints
