Ask the Old Farmer: We have real trouble
removing light bulbs from some of our fix
tures They are so stuck that we are afraid
the bulbs will break in our hands How can
we prevent this from happening 7 CV,
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
Put a little olive oil on your thumb and forefin
ger the next time you are changing a light bulb
Rub the oil on the base of the bulb, leaving a
light film of oil on it This should keep the bulb
from sticking
Home Hints: Harvest brussels sprouts from the bottom of the plant up Sprouts are tastier after a
frost, and plants survive through early winter
