If there is no finish on them now,
~ try a coal of linseed oil Mix two
parts botledhnseed oil to one part turpentine. This will soak into the wood
and help to preserve it. The color of the wood will change slightly Do it
again in six months or so
Home Hints: Keep suede shoes looking fresh by rubbing them with a piece of
stale rye bread after each weanng

Play to win with our complete Checker Mates Hog Breeding
Program. It’s the result of many years of genetic research.
It can pay off in bigger, healthier litters in the farrowing house
thanks to the maternal heterosis of Checker Gilts. Plus, the
money saving performance punch contributed by Checker Boars
when your pigs reach the finishing house.
But it’s more than boars and gilts. It’s a complete breeding
program aimed at making you a winner.
Stop in and ask us about it today.

Ask the Old Farmer: My drift
wood lamps are at least 20 years
old and pieces of wood are be
