AS-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 15, 1992 A Cat Has Nine Lives An old Irish legend talks about Cat Nights and how a witch could turn herself into a cat eight times and then become a witch again, but on the ninth time she couldn’t change back. This is the origin for the saying that a cat has nine lives. Some other cat sayings are: When a cat washes her face, it is a sign of rain ... or good weather ... or that company is coming. If a cat looks out the window, it’s looking for ram. You can tell the time of day from the size of a cat’s pupils. Bathing a cat will bring rain. Sleep ing with a cat Wll bring good luck or . . cats suck the breath of sleepers. Cats can see ghosts. Seeing a black cat is bad luck, but it's lucky to own one. ■KnngevmM Well knows the cat whose ear she licks. Cats, like men are flatterers. —French Proverb ns- Protect wildlife in your backyard by preserving natural holes and cavities in dead or dying trees for wildlife use. EAMWISE Your own compost heap is the best way to make good fertilizer and reduce the garbage that you throw away Start by piling grass clippings and leaves in a corner of your yard and turn the pile with a pitchfork periodically. Keep a container tn your kitchen for vegetable scraps and put them in the pile, too. When your pile is three feet high, start a new one while the first decomposes. Keep turning the pile and you’ll notice in six to 12 months that it’s half its original size and the com post is black in color and ready to use. *** Contract with Purina Mills, Inc.
