ANSWER —Dawn Lesher, Pitman, wanted to know how to
discourage birds from building nests in hanging basket
plants. Thanks to a reader who writes that she places loosely
crumpled balls of aluminum foil in the flowers. The shiny,
crunchy texture seems to keep nest builders away Also,
thanks to Minnie Stauffer, Ephrata, who writes that she
fastens a life-size artifical brid to the top of her plant. Birds
think the planter is occupied and it keeps them away most of
the time. Thanks to Colleen Schulz, Douglassville, who said
that birds are afraid of owls and snakes. She places toy
snakes among potted plants, in strawberry patches, and in
cherry trees to keep birds away.
ANSWER Donald Cayman, Chambersburg, wanted to
know how to keep food items from sticking to the trays of a
dehydrator. Thanks to Kathy M. Van Nort, Columbia, who
writes that she should spray the trays with a vegetable spray
such as Pam or line the trays with waxed paper.
ANSWER Barbara Davis. Sewell, N.J., wanted to know
where to purchase the old Parker Brothers card game called
“Touring.” Thanks to numerous readers who wrote that they
have a game and will sell it. Here are the names and addres
ses, for Barbara and perhaps others who are interested; R.B.

ANSWER Beverly Budnick. Curehville, Md., wanted an
explanation of the saying; A needle shall not pierce fabric on
Ascension Day. Thanks to Alessandra Mac Grew, for writing
that she is familiar with the saying; If you sew on Sundays, you
will have to rip (he stitches out in hell with your nose. She
believes these sayings regarding sewing are related to the
prohibition for doing no manual labor on holy days of which
Ascension Day is one.
ANSWER A reader wanted to know how to keep bees
away when holding outdoor picnics. Thanks to Alessandra
Mac Grew, Hellertown, who said that she heard, perhaps erro
neously. that bees and hornets are attracted to yellow objects
so watch your color scheme.
ANSWER— G. Depew, Mifflintown, wanted to know where
to buy signs to erect along the highway to alert motorists of
farm machinery crossing the road. Thanks to Kathy M. Van-
Nort. Columbia, who said the signs can be purchased at
Green Dragon, a farm market opened on Fridays and located
in Ephrata. Thanks to a Frenchville reader who writes that she
believes the townships are obligated to put up these safety
signs especially at dangerous crossings. Signs are also avail
able through Vulcan Signs, call 1-800-633-6845.
ANSWER For the reader who wanted to know how to
keep rabbits, moles, and voles away, Colleen Schulze, Dou
glassviHe, suggests planting marigolds as many animals do
not like the smell of those flowers and stay away. Another
reader writes that she sprinkles mothballs around the garden
perimeter to keep rabbits, woodchucks, deer, and raccoons
from the garden. But, be careful, as little children must be kept
away from the mothballs. Another reader wrote that she
sprinkles baby powder or sulfur around the vegetables to
keep rabbits away. Several wrote that large cats are most
effective for patrolling gardens.
