THE OLD
iptAWtt*!
OCT. 1-7,1973
Forest rangers shudder, some woods are too dry.
Autumnal migration of birds at its peak now . . . Ford
introduced Model “T” Oct. 1, 1908 . . . First quarter of the
Moon Oct. 4. . . Scallop season opens ... Average length of
days for week, 11 hours, 35 minutes... California gold rush
began Oct. 6, 1848 ... First World Series Boston-Pittsburgh
1903 . . . Yom Kippur Oct. 6 . . . First cotton prints made
in Penn. 1810 ... A warm heart requires a cool head.
Ask the Old Farmer: While
in Maine this summer we
noticed that many natives
had smoked herring for
breakfast two or thrte times
a week. Do many New En
gland coastal residents still
t - like the old-fashioned break
fasts? J. F., Alexandria, Va.
They sure do. And not just
up and down the coast. Besides smoked herring, many
Yankees like breakfasts of codfish cakes and beans, warmed
over chowder and eombread, and fried smelts and johnny
cakes. A lot of apple pie disappears at breakfast too.
Home Hints: Use wet absorbent cotton to collect small
fragments of glass . . . Linseed oil will remove tar from a
car . . . Fresh eggs will sink in a bowl of cold water; bad
ones will float.

The simple “J-bolt” method
of attaching the steep roof to
