Skies drear and fields sere.
Ask the Old Farmer: We repaired the leaky fau
cet in the older home we purchased, but the
stains from the leak remain in the bathtub. None.
of the cleaners we have tried will remove the’
stain. Any suggestions? T. 8., South Paris, Maine .
Get some Kool-Atd, the powdered lemonade kind'
Dampen a sponge; apply some to the stain and scrub
it off. You can also use fresh peroxide and cream of
tartar. Make a paste of them and cover the stain
Drop two or three drops of ammonia onto the paste,
leave it for an hour or so, then wash off.
Home Hints: Plant paperwhite narcissus now for

ACRES CATTLE UPDATE:
Live and feeder cattle weakened
today on selling in response to
sharply lower pork complex
quotes. Limited short covering
late session helped to elevate
prices off session lows. Weaken
ing cash fundamentals added
further pressure along with slug
gish seasonal demand and unpro
fitable packer margins. Feeder
cattle took their cues from live
cattle and posted losses from 25 to
68 points. December
live catde closed 80 points lower
at $73.02/cwt with heavy profes
sional bear spreading featured ver

to losses in the products with
heavy kills this week adding to the
selling trend. Yesterday’s bearish

further pressure. December closed
