Fix-it Tip
Take a good look at metal
items that are left outdoors
lawn furniture, toys and for
gotten garden tools. If rust
has formed on a painted sur
face, sand down to the bare
metal prime with a rust prev
entative paint and finish with
enamel.
The best way to protect
metal items is with wax. Use
auto wax since it is designed
to withstand weathering. Ap
ply a light film of oil to tools,
even those in the basement.
Moisture-laden air will rust
them.
The spigot at the bottom of
the water heater is there to
prevent corrosion. Drain a
pail or two of water every
month, stop when the water
runs clear. Never drain the
tank completely since the air
that gets in will cause faster
corroding.

Thursday, August 9
Compared with last week’s
close: Closing slaughter steer
prices 2.00-2.50 higher, heifers
2.75-3.00 higher. Cows closed 25-
50c lower and bulls steady.
Feeder cattle strong to 1.00
higher.
Four day receipts 12,000 as
compared 9,100 previous week
and 16,300 a year ago. Slaughter
steers approximately 32 percent,
heifers 36 percent, mainly Good
to average Choice, a moderate
volume high-Choice and Prime.
Cows 18 percent, feeders 15
percent.
Demand continued broad for
the limited supply of slaughter
cattle offered. Marketings ex
panded slightly but there was still
resistance to resumption of a
normal pattern so long as Phase
IV remained in effect. Although
some major packing plants
remained inactive a number
were edging back into the market
with some local packing interests
buying largely for custom
slaughter. Canadian buying
interests again participated but
advancing prices were somewhat
of a deterrent to purchases for
export. Feeder buyers competed
aggressively for fleshy two-way
steers Monday but demand
narrowed later.
