On feeding this mixture all that
the hogs do not eat at one time
should be removed from trough
to prevent it from getting wet
It Is perfectly safe to feed in a
dry feed as mentioned above.

To ease the homemaker's bur-
den, the market is being flooded
today with countless appliances.
All makes and manner of washers
both automatic and non-auto-
matic-temptingly offer to help
eliminate a tedious "washday."
When buying a washer, it IL
wise to check on the reliability of
the dealer before going into d
store; his dependability is import
ant not only for the protection Of
your original purchase but for eff
ficient service at all times. AS
rule, it isn't wise to Judge things
on hearsay, but 1t is good policy
to take stock of the experience
your friends have had with their
appliances.
You will be most satisfied IL you
stop to ask yourself: Is the wash
er adequate for my special needs?
Is it economical? Convenient to
use? The product of reliable
manufacturer? Is it approved by
Underwriters Laboratories? Is it
guaranteed?
With such long term invest
ments as washers, true economy
must not be judged solely in terms
of the purchase price. Low operat-
ing cost, and the low maintenance
costs that come with trouble-free
performance are equally essential.
A good washer should have a
pump, otherwise water removal
becomes chore If you don't have
convenient floor drain. The
wringer should be easy to operate.
with a safety release in a handy
position. The VIII e machine
should be simple to clean both in
ternally and externally; the acti-
vator should be easily removable;
surfaces smooth, and design neat.
When you're buying an auto
matte washer, ask yourself the
same questions about fitting your
adequate needs. it's economy, con-
venience and especially its safety.
An automatic washer that does the
complete laundry process from
soak to damp-dry. should have no
exposed moving parts.
Ask your dealer il the machine
shuts the water off automatically,
should there be power failure.
Most mechanisms carry a few
years protection plan. too.
Be sure to find out whether you
can wash any type of fabric in the
automatic you're buying. You'll be
able to derend on reliable man.

Automatic Check List
Because this is a list of things
most homemakers want in an au-
tomato washer. check them off
with your dealer on the machine
you're selecting:
/. Is it portable@ On casters?
2. Does it virbrate excessively?
3. Does it wash really clean?
4. Is it top-opening?
5. Does it have the capacity for
flltering the water?
6. Does it spin clothes dvy?
z. Does it have a flat top for
additional work surface?

Purchasing PILLOWS
The unseen filling determines
Miss Eva Legett, Extension
the comfort of a pillow, advises
specialist in consumer education.
Two types of filling are land
fowl feathers and water fowl fea-
theirs. In the ideal pillow, goose
feathers and down are combined
for comfort, wear, resiliency and
bouyancy.
Remember when buying pillows
that feathers should be chemically
washed and cleaned to make them
odorless and dustless, as well as
to remove any foreign particles.
Individual preferences enter in
to the purchase of a pillow. Light
err Filings are more bouyant or
elastic A firm, plump pillow Is
more resistant under pressure
than a soft, unidentified one.
Rapid rebound indicates resll-
iency, an important requirement
for sleeping comfort.
Ticking of the pillow should be
closely woven and tightly sewed.
This makes the pillow durable and
keeps fine feathers and down
from working through. The tick
ing should also be colorfast.

Buying Mems Shirts

Women often buy shirts TOT
their husbands or use their know
ledge of materials and sewing to
help select shirts. The following
TIPS about purchasing shirts were
given by Miss Eva Legett, Exten-
sion specialist in consumer educa-
ton.
Examine button holes. They
should be reinforced at the end
and should be in the middle OF
the center panel. In striped shirts,
the button holes should be CEN
tered on a stripe.
Check the buttons. There should
be at least six.
Cuffs should open flat to pre-
vent excess strain on placket
when the cuffs are ironed.
Be sure there are pleats or ga
theirs at the bottom Of the yoke
for protection against shoulder
strain.
Collar tips should be of the
same length
Stitching should be small, Is to
10 stitches per inch. Thread
counts, such as 1875 x so means 1856
threads per inch in the warp and
so in the fill. The higher count
and the closer the weave, the
softer the fabric.
A shirt should be pre-shrunk.
Examine inner surface of shirts
with printed patterns. Such print
ing can and sometimes does cover
flaws in the fabric.
