Lightning Struck
Twice That Time

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. IN -
Mrs. Irving Kessler. of Grand
Rapids will give you an argument
on the old adage Lightning never
strikes twice in the same place. "
During a recent electrical storm,
a bolt of lightning started a fire
in upstairs wiring in her home.
Awakened by barking dogs, Mrs.
Kessler and her husband put out
the fire.
Hours later, second bolt struck
the couples house, starting a Sec
ond fire-this time in the outside
wiring.
The second blaze also was put
out quickly, as was Mrs. Kessler's
faith in old sayings.

Ddirymen Must
Buy Feed Wisely

North Carolina dairymen. who
are buying feed again this year
because of the dry weather, must
be careful to buy the most ECO
nomical' feed, if they are to make
profit. says Marvin E. Senger,
extension dairy specialist.
This doesn't mean buying the
cheapest per pound of feed but in
stead the cheapest per pound of
digestible protein OF total digest
ible nutrients, Senger emphasized
If the dairyman needs proteins,
he should buy the cheapest source
of digestible protein; if he needs
carbohydrates. the cheapest source
of total digestible nutrients.
The dairy specialist says that
barley is a good buy with milo not
far behind. Both can be substitute
ed for corn. and barley can be sub
stituted for oats satisfactorily.
In high protein feeds, cottonseed
meal is the best buy. The dairyman
short on hay, should go heavy on
silage and use some citrus pulp.
Senger says the dairyman can
get along without hay, but that
slightly better production will re-
suit from feeding at least five lbs.
of hay per COW per day.
For farmers desiring NOR infor-
nation on feeding their dairy herd
economically, Senger suggested
that they get the leaflet "Choos-
ing a Grain Mixture For Dairy
Cows" from their county agents
office.

Only Proper Sooking
Will Make Clothing
Whittier And Cleaner

Pre- soaking the family wash
won't always make your clothing
whittier and brighter.
According to Mamie WhiSnant,
State College home management
specialist, it's not the actual soak
ing - but how you do 1t - that
determines the cleanliness of your
clothes. Unless clothing is proper
ly soaked. you may be doing more
harm than good.
Proper soaking will help to looS-
en- stubborn soil and thus prepare
the fabric for successful launder-
ing. Here are some recommended
soaking methods.
/. Greasy overalls and cotton
work shirts. Cover these garments
with hot sudsy water containing
one-half cup of household am
monia. Soak for Is to 20 minutes.
For extra convenience. try soaking
these garments in the tub of your
washing machine. Then wiring or
spin and launder as usual.
=. 1llIlly COCtOll oiip SO'Cio' Sui
tains or play clothes. Soak these
for 10 to 20 minutes in warm wa
ter OF in warm water containing a
detergent. Use about 1i2 to l ia
blespoon of detergent per gallon
of water. After soaking, wiring or
spin until damp dry, and launder
as usual.
3. Soiled collars. cuffs. neck
bands. You'll probably have to
loosen dirt on cuffs, collars and
neckbands before laundering since
soil has been ground into these
spots. Work in suds gently with
soft brush or sponge using the
same soap or other detergent you'll
use for washing.
Paying little extra attention
to the soaking process before ac-
tual laundering will make your
clothes cleaner, fresher. And con-
trary to many ideas, it's wiser to
wash clothing before the fabric is
badly Soiled.
