FRESH POTATOES can be
a good partial hay substitute
feed for livestock this year.
The smaller B sizes are cheap
enough to be used for dairy
and other livestock feed. The
culls and pickouts are always
available at harvest time for a
low cost, say 25f cwt. at the
farm, reminds Jacob w. Zim-
merman, local grower.
Potatoes contain more dry
matter than most root crops,
but less than corn silage. They
are rich In starch, but very
low In portein. So plenty of
protein rich feeds should be
given with a heavy allowance
of potatoes. Too, the lower
vitamin A & D content can be
made up with pasture of good
quality legume hay.
Handle fresh potatoes with
care. They bruise easily, and
rotted potatoes are not good
feed. Store them off the ground
in sacks to allow air circu-
lation around the bags. Keep
them protected from light. Do
not store deeper than four feet
in piles or In bins.
Here are some feeding hints
for dairy cattle:
l. Cut or crush the potatoes
before feeding. They can lodge
In the animals throat otherwise.
2. Start feeding potatoes at a
slow rate, a quart per day.
8. Gradually increase the al
lowance to is to rs lbs. Tor
7 to IL quarts) per day.
4. Provide a free choice min
eral mixture of one part di-
calcium phosphate or bone mesh
and one part of loose salt.
S. You get best results If
potatoes are fed with pasture
or good legume hay.
6. Experimental results show
that potatoes can be safely fed
up to IS lbs. daily. Layer
amounts may lead to digestive
problems.
z. Do not store potatoes In
the milking barn. Feed after
milking to prevent a potato
odor in the milk.
8. In most cases there will
be more milk, but a lower
fat test.
9. Frozen, sprouted, or rot
ten potatoes should not be fed.
Similar precautions apply to
beef cattle or sheep. Hogs will
do better If the potatoes are
cooked, and If the cooked po-
tatoes do not make up more
than one half the grain ordi-
narily fed. Cooked potatoes can
also be fed to laying hens, If
mashed and mixed with laying
mash. There is no data for
broilers.

Outdoor
Foods Is
Fun For All

Whether you prefer frank
furters roasted on stick, or
a thick, juicy charcoal broiled
steak, or a big roast of beef,
medium rare, you can cook it
outdoors easily and very sue
cessfully, says Janet Coblentz.
extension food specialist at the
University of Delaware.
The equipment you use to
cook an outdoor meal can be
as simple or elaborate as your
preferences or your funds al
low, she says. A charcoal grill
made from few rocks or bricks
and the rack from your oven
can cook food as well as the
most expensive charcoal grill.
Or, you can make or buy many
styles of grills, rotisseries,
smoke ovens and outdoor fire
places.
Roast beef, barbecued spare
ribs and leg of lamb are usually
cooked TWO or three hours or
more on a rotisserie so they
roast evenly on all sides.
Steaks, chops, hamburgers and
other thin meat cuts cook best
on a grill over glowing Goals.
Kabobs--chunks of meat and
vegetables on a skewer--can
be cooked on either rotisserie
or grill.
Steak cooked on the outdoor
grill should be at least two
inches thick so 1t will stay
juicy. Thin steaks dry out as
they cook. Miss Coblentz sug-
gests buying a thick steak to
be cut into serving portions
rather than a thin steak for
each person.
Outdoor cooking is not lin
tied to steak and hamburgers,
Miss Coblentz pointed out. Gas
long as you have the charcoal
fire going for the meat, you
can cook the whole meal on
the grill" she says. "Garlic
bread heated on the grill is a
good accompaniment for many
meats, and you can also cook
desserts over the Goals. When
you cook your meal this way,
the only extras you need are
a crisp salad and an icy bev-
erage."
Miss Coblentz believes out
door meals provide an idealway
to entertain guests or please
the family on warm summer
day, while at the same time
outdoor cooking lets the home
maker prepare a nourishine
meal without spending the after
noon in a hot kitchen.
Dozens of outdoor cooking
tips are included In new pub
lication Miss Coblentz has writ
ten. Entitled "Cook 1t Out
doors," the booklet gives de-
tailed instructions on how to
build several different types
of grills, tells how to start
wood and charcoal fires ant
keep them burning and explains
how to cook many meat cuts or
different types of outdoor cook
ing equipment.

Blue Hens
Suffer Plate
Problems:
PitchingOK

Despite having their finest
pitching staff In years, the In
iversity of Delaware Blue Hens
found out early that it'll take
some hitting, too, to win the
Middle Atlantic Conference DIT
lie this year.
Coach Harold CTubby) Ray
mond had the frustrating exper-
ience Saturday of watching pit
chers Terry Arnold and Steve
Sundra allow one run In II In
nings of pitching, yet manage
only a split in an MAC double
header with Bucmell. Arnold,
sophomore lefthander, hurled
nine innings of four hit, shut
out ball in the first fame, only
to lose in the tenth, 10. Sun
dra, now 40 on the season,
was endowed with a four run
lead in mid-game and went on
to pitch a two hit, so victory.
Delaware managed only eight
hits In the doubleheader.
Arnold, the victim of poor
batting support Saturday and
atrocious fielding which cost
him a win over North Carolina
two weeks ago, now has a 800
earned run average as some
consolation for his 2-2 record.
Sundra's ERA is LAO. Both have
established themselves as mou-
nd dependables, but, as Ray
mond discovered last week,
can't win without an occasional
run.
One of the enigmas of the
1868 team, considered In some
circles as a favorite for the
MAC title last won In 1860
and '6l, is the plate problems
of the Hens veteran outfield
trio of John STROBE and Tom
Aldridge. Together they have
accounted for only Is hits and
II RIBS In II games. Lack
man is hitting, .l79, Aldrige
.l77, Strobe LAB. In 1868, Al
bridge batted .329, Lackman hit
.294 and STROBE hit 200.
To add punch to the lineup,
Raymond has placed Arnold
also as brilliant fielder, In
center field every day the pre-
cocious little soph isn't pitch
ing, and has also stationed cat
cher Dick Stein In left field
and second baseman Jim Gregg
In left and right. Stein and Gregg
have shown excellent hitting alb
ility, but lack experience as
outfielders and perform much
better at their natural posit-
ions.
The wages of hitting pro-
blems could be an early con-
ference death for the Hens, who
will meet LaSalle in Philadel-
phia Saturday in an important
MAC game. LaSalle, which up
set highly-regarded Lafayette
on April 10, will be going up
against Sundra as the Hens
