General Winfield Scott, Mexican War hero, bom June 13,1786 First quarter of the
moon June 15 (Sun) Father's Day June 15 Tornado in Worcester County,
Mass, killed 90, caused $53 million damage, June 9, 1953 He that has evil
neighbors praises himself
Ask the Old Farmer: 1 have an old handpump near my house
Is there anything I should be doing to maintain it 7 It doesn't get
much use, just when showing it off to a visitor D M , Wood
bury, Conn
A drop of oil now and then where handle and pump rod are pivoted
will keep those parts from wearing down, ana pumping water ome
in a while as you do mill keep the flap valve from drying out
Home Hints: To control fleas on your dog, try rubbing brewer s yeast on
his coat
