Jack-o-lantems or witch fire
are the balls of phosphorent
junk that come out of
swamps in spring and dance
around, formerly scaring
people half to death. The
pumpkin-lantern was first employed by colonists who had
outdoor work to do at night and had neither suitable torches
•or other means of illumination, so used candles in a scooped
out pumpkin.

While twice annual tune
ups have long been
recommended by main
tenance experts, the onset of
the energy crisis has focused
new attention on getting the
farm truck or car engine
checked every six months.
Correcting ignition system
problems on a twice-annual
basis will help save scarce
and costly gasoline, is the
message of groups like the
Federal Energy Office.
Part of this semi-annual
tune-up should be an
examination of the spark
plugs.
According to Champion
Spark Plug Company, after
10,000 miles an electrode gap
wear of .005” to .008” has
taken place. The plugs are no
longer firing efficiently and
gasoline is being wasted. The
remedy is installing a new
set of plugs.
A knit garment can shrink
if dried too long at too high a
temperature, cautions Mrs.
Ruth Ann Wilson, Extension
clothing specialist at The
Pennsylvania State
University.
Knits will also shrink,
wrinkle or fuzz if washed in
hot water with too long a
cycle, high agitation and fast
spinning. Long tumbling in
the dryer wiU also'cause
hard-to-reroove wrinkles in
knits.
Always wash and dry knits

However, at intervals of
5,000 miles of use, you'll be
gaining in fuel economy by
servicing the plugs.
Champion recommends the
following services and
procedures.
- Remove any oily
deposits with- a solvent and
dry plugs thoroughly.
- Open the electrode gap
wide enough to permit
cleaning and filing.
-Using a good quality
abrasive cleaner, remove
combustion deposits. Then
with clean air, blast away all
abrasive material remaining
on the plug thread and bore
surfaces.
-File the electrode sur
faces vigorously to restore
clean, sharp edges.
- Reset gap to
specifications by bonding the
side electrode only.
with caution, urges Mrs.
Wilson. She says the easy
care qualities of knits can
never be accepted as
“anything goes” for laun
dering.
"Wash knits in warm water
for about six minutes at
medium to low agitation.
Use the lowest spin to avoid
wrinklesMf the machine has -
a setting for delicate fabrics
or one ■" specifically for
knitted fabrics, be sure to
use this.
EIFERS FAST at low cost with...
URINA HEIFER CHOW
More and more local dairymen are proving that a small extra
investment in heifer feeding can pay off when heifers freshen and
begin contributing to the milk check. \
And research has proved that heifers which produce well in the
first lactation continue to be high producers over a longer
milking life than average cows.
Purina* Heifer Chow* has been developed to help you grow -
big heifers fast, conveniently and at low cost. Heifer Chow is
a palatable coarse 14 per cent protein ration, fortified with
vitamins and minerals to stimulate fast, solid heifer growth.
To build low-cost growth, you need feed only 3 pounds of
Heifer Chow per heifer per day if your legume forages are of
good quality. For best results, start your heifers on the Purina
heifer growing program at six months of age until 90 days before
freshening when they’ll be fed on the basis of their condition
and on the quality of your forage.
Drop in soon and pick up a copy of our Purina Heifer Growing
Program folder. It explains the program to follow for fast
growing, early-freshening heifers at low cost.
