Grade A Large 73-76 Grade A Medium 69-73 Remember to check the lint trap or filter on your clothes dryer after each • load, say Extension home management specialists at Penn State. Keeping the filter clean is a good way to keep the dryer from being an “energy hog.” It is a good idea to keep a close check on the outside exhaust and make sure it remains clean. If your dryer can’t “breathe” it has to work harder and uSes more energy. INC HUBBARD WHITE MT. BROILERS
