Pump Care Avoids
Unpleasant Job

It's a rare sight anymore to
see a farmer spending an hour
or more on a cold winter morn
ing, pumping water by hand for
his livestock.
This is one of the unpleasant
farm jobs that has been largely
taken over by machinery. But if
you fail to take proper care of
the machine, you may find your
self laboring on pump handle.
Al Krewatch, University of
Maryland Extension agricultural
engineer, passes along some sim
pie tips on avoiding the most
common pump troubles.
There is an oil level mark or
plug on most water pumps" he
says. Keep the oil level with
the plug"
Another recommendation:
Keep the stuffing box tight but
not so tight that it increases the
load on the motor. A good system
is to tighten the stuffing box
until the water stops leaking,
then unscrew the nut half-turn
or more-until it leaks only two
or three drops a minute. These
drops are approximately the cor
rect leakage, and will help to
lubricate the shaft.

By-PrOduct Feeds
Cut Dairy Costs

By-product feeds may be the
answer for Maryland dairymer
who are looking for some way tc
cut down the feed bill and still
provide an excellent ration.
Good examples of by-product
feeds are molasses, citrus pulp,
gluten feeds and meals, wheat
flour by-products such as bran,
red dog, and middlings, and fer.
mentation products.
DR.. Richard F. Davis of the
University of Maryland dairy de-
partment says two especially
good buys right now are molas-
ses and citrus pulp. "At present
prices dairyman has to pay
500 to buy as much energy in
the form of corn as he can buy
for $50 in the form of molasses
and citrus pulp" DR.. Davis points
out.
Citrus pulp is a dry, bulky
feed that can be fed in any mix
ture. If high levels are fed, a
small amount of extra protein is
needed. Some successful feeders
are using up to 40 percent citrus
pulp in grain mixes, using a
pound of pulp to replace a pound
of grain.
Molasses is sticky and harder
to feed, but many individual feed
ers have developed ideas for
handling the product under their
particular circumstances. If mo-
lasses is fed at high levels some
adjustments in the ration may
be necessary to account for the
fact that it has about two.thirdS
the energy content of mixed
grains on pound for pound bas-
is. Molasses has no digestible pro-
tein and this must also be &C.
counted for. Under normal con-
ditions up to six to eight pounds
of molasses per cow per day may
be fed.
How do cattle like these feeds?
changing to any new feed
may take a day or two but if
changes are gradual, cows soon
get used to either of these feeds"
DR.. Davis says. He adds that in
the past, citrus pulp was widely
known as an unpalatable feed.
However, manufacturing diff
culties have been overcome and
a uniform pleasing product is
now available. Cows really go for
this type of feed"

mable, washable, and tear and
stain resistant.
Miss Hilbert points out that
simulated garments that are un-
lined or combined with washable
fabrics can be wet cleaned or
washed by hand successfully.
Some types of simulated leather
tend to become stiff and hard
when dry cleaned.
Jackets and coats that have lin
ing fabric and trim such as ray
on, wool or mouton may or may
not be dry cleaned successfully.
If you plan to send your gar
ment to the dry cleaner, it is a
good idea to consult with him
about the cleaning method to be
used.
Remember, if you are consider
ing buying simulated leather gar
ments or accessories, that you
will get the most wear and sat-
isfaction from ones that are I'M
lined or combined with washable
fabrics. Be sure to check labels

Urge Gardeners to
Look Ahead Now

Every spring, a few Maryland
gardeners find out too late that
the soil in their hot beds and
cold frames is contaminated with
soil-borne organisms that cause
plant disease.
Don't let this happen to you,"
urges University of Maryland
Extension vegetable specialist
Andrew A. Duncan. "Take the
first step now, or during the next
few weeks, to get next years
gardening project off to good
start. Remove old soil from hot
beds and cold frames and replace
it with clean soil. 1t it is i'm
practical to change the soil, then
fumigate with steam or chemi-
calls"
The new chemical methods of
fumigating plant beds are easy
and not too expensive. Chloropi-
erin and methyl bromide are two
good chemicals.
There is an additional job to
do in beds heated with hot-Water
pipes, Duncan suggests that pipes
be uncovered and a level laid on
them to make sure they are
straight. If they aren't, air pock-
cts might develop and prevent
the circulation of water.
GAS a matter of fact, it's a good
idea to check all types of heat
ing systems Duncan adds. make

Next bring the opposite side up

The ends should over lap 2 to 3

a very hot preheated oven

oven and continue cooking until
done. Test for doneness by NOV
ing the drumStick up and down.
If the drumstick moves easily
and the meat feels very soft, the
turkey is done. Or if you've cook
ed the bird with a meat Their
mometer, the bird is done when
the thermometer reaches 1885,
190oF.
If you prefer to roast the bird
stuffed, add 20 minutes to the
total roasting time for small tur-
keys weighing under 16 pounds
and 80 minutes for those over
that weight.
Plan your schedule so that the
turkey is out of the oven 20 to
80 minutes before serving time.
This gives the meat a chance to
absorb the juices, and it will be
easier to carve.

Tips for Roasting
Your Xmas Turkey.

Want to shorten the time for
cooking your Christmas turkey?
Then try the aluminium foil
method of roasting, suggests jan
ct CoblentZ, nutritionist for the
University of Maryland Exten-
sion Service. Although this meth
cd does save time, the slow roast
ing of turkey at a low tempera-
ture of 325'F is preferred by
many people and is highly re-
commended.
You'll have a cleaner oven at
the end of Christmas day, since
there is no scattering when you
cook in aluminium foil. You find
that the skin of the turkey is
soft and not as brown as when
roasted in an uncovered pan. And
the meat has a tendency to pull
away from the bone.
Use the 18-inch medium weight
foil since the household weight
tears easily. If your turkey is
large, join two lengths of foil to-
gether with drugstore or lock
fold. Press the fold flat and tight
to keep drippings from leaking.
Now, here's the way to pre-
pare the festive bird for roast
ing in foil: Rub the cavity of
the ready-to-cook bird with salt.
Stuff or not as you prefer. Tie
the drumsticks to the tail, and
press the wings to the body with
tips flat against the sides of the
breast.
Place the turkey in the center
of the foil with 5 or 6 inches

FARM FACTS By Jonathan Blade

You don't have to be an expert
to be a shrewd buyer of meat. Just
keep these few facts in mind when
you shop. Well start with beefl
Good beef is a bright cherry-red in
color. It's firm, hne-grained, well
notified with fat, and it has a good
outer covering of brittle, facky
white fat. Good veal is grayish-
pink, very fine-grained and is fairly
firm with a velvety texture. 1t is
not notified with fat, and has a
slight, if any, covering of fat.
Pinkish-red is the color of your
best lamb. It's fine-grained, firm
and fairly mottled with fat. Has a
fair outer covering of fat. Pork is a
light grayish-pink. It's well notified
with fat, and both the flesh and
fat are firm.
