Now Settle Down
Gone are the frolic and joys oi
Christmas and New Year for an
other year. Again we settle dowr
to the steady business of living
Each person’s manner of living is
carried on according to the per
sonality and temperament of the
individual, insofar as is possible
However busy a person might be
with the business of making a liv
ing, there’s always at least a little
time to do something worth while
There’s no time like the presenl
to resolve to do at least a little
something worth while each day
or at least to see that some prog
ress along that line has been made

at the end of each week. With so
much work of various.kinds need
ed to be done all of the time, there
is no excuse for any one to be

now and ^o your bit in the war
effort or something for the bet

Guess This Conundrum
What is the longest sentence in
the world? Perhaps you’ve heard
this one before and have forgot
ten it, but put your thinking-cap
on and try it. It’s simple enough
and won’t require much of your
time or mental ability to guess
the answer.
Don’t Feed The Drain
“Don’t feed the kitchen drain
better than you feed your family”,
is an injunction frequently heard,
which, obviously refers to throw
ing away valuable food materials
that should be placed on the table
for the family to eat. These valu
able food elements that are often
thrown down the drain pipe with
the water vegetables are cooked
in contain mainly minerals and
vitamins that are necessary to
body functioning. You can avoid
this unnecessary waste and also
save fuel when cooking by using
as little water as possible. Natur
ally it takes less time to boil a

Farmer Can Grind
Corn For Hog Feed
In feeding pigs, it will not pay
a farmer to have his com ground
at a commercial mill, but if he
has his own hammer mill, he can
grind it to advantage, says F. H.
Smith, animal nutritionist with
the State College Experiment Sta
tion.
Recent tests have shown that
grinding gave a better utilization
of corn with about 15 per cent less
feed being required to give 100
pounds of gain.
“Medium-fine grinding of corn
gives better results than finely
ground. A gritty-feeling product
is superior,” Smith says.
He points out that wheat, barley,
rye and other feeds should be
ground because the hog does not
crush the small grains with his
teeth as readily as the larger
grains. Also, the animal is unable
to use the food values of the
whole grain because the hard,
outer layer protects it from the
digestive juices as it passes
through the digestive tract.
little than a good deal, and the
smaller amount is better for the
vegetables and for you, also.
Bum Foreign Papers
A suggestion heard over the
radio is worth passing along and
heeding, since not to do so might
be the cause of infesting yourself
or members of your family with
serious disease. The suggestion is
made that all Christmas wrappings
or envelopes that have come from
foreign ports should be burned,
because many of them have been
found to have become infested
with the Mediterranean fruit fly
and other equally dangerous dis
ease-carrying pests.
Conundrum Answer
Going to prison for life. Now
that you know the answer it’s al
most too simple and silly to have
put even a moment’s thought on
it, isn’t it?
Sue Talks To Herself
Sue Norwood, 4-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Nor
wood, was sick in bed with flu
last week and thought she could
take advantage of the situation
and have about anything she want
ed, for a change. Her mother
overheard her talking to herself in
bed.
Sue (thinking her mother was
out of the room and couldn’t
hear): “I’m going to be just as
bad as I can be, and I’m sick and
nobody’ll do anything about it.”
Contrary to popular belief,
there is practically no difference
in the ultimate value of a legume
crop whether it be turned under
green or after it is dead, report I
State College specialists.

Timely Hints For
Farm Homemakers |
By Ruth Current
Small scratches on furniture of
ten disappear if they are rubbed
with meat nuts. Tho oil in nuts
darkens and conceals the scratch.
An oily nut like a pecan or but
terut is best. Cut the kernel with
a knife and rub the cut side into
the scratch. Then polish the sur
face of the wood with a soft, dry
cloth. A mixture of two-thirds lin
seed oil and one-third turpentine
is also good for rubbing scratches
out of sight, as is a reliable com
mercial furniture polish.
Serve chopped, leftover poultry
meat, creamed on hot toast as a
pie, topped with biscuit rounds,
or with mashed potatoes, rice,
noodles or spaghetti. To make it
turkey or chicken a la king, give
it richer sauce with egg yolks
added, and perhaps mushrooms
and some leftover peas or string
beans.
Or, mix with bits of poultry
meat with mashed potatoes. Shape
int(f cakes and brown in a little
fat for a tasty lunchtime dish.
Mix leftover stuffing with bits
of poultry meat or gravy, and
brown to make well-flavored hash.
Or, mix stuffing, leftover meat,
and gravy, all three, and brown
in the oven for a scallop.
Try frozen custards as a nutri
tious and delicious wartime ice
cream. Whole egg and egg yolks
combined with cream, top milk,
half and half, whole milk or evap
orated milk make a delightful and
economical frozen custard desserts
for use in the home.
This method of making custards
is simple. The procedure is to beat
the eggs slightly and then add
the sugar or sweetening and stir
until blended. Add liquid and
blend thoroughly. If the liquid is
heated and then poured gradually
over the beaten eggs, with con
stant stirring, the time of cooking
is shortened.
For frozen custards, cook to
desired consistency; cool; porn:
into pan and place in the freezing
unit. In three hours time you will
have a grand wartime ice cream.

QUESTION: Is canned food safe
to eat after it is frozen?
ANSWER: State College can
ning specialists report that freez
ing in itself does not spoil canned
food. They point out, however,
that the food swells in freezing
and that this may cause a break
in the glass jar or a leak in the
can. When the seal is broken on
a can or jar, spoilage organisms
may then reach the food and re
sult in its loss. Cans showing any
such leakage should be used im
mediately.
QUESTION: Can I develop a
good pasture on land which is too
poor to grow profitable cash
crops?
ANSWER: No, says John A.
Arey, Extension dairy specialist
at N. C. State College. He recom
mends that only good land be
used in developing permanent
pastures. Poor land gives little
grazing and the food a cow eats
from such a pasture is used up in
supplying the energy required to
gather it. She has no food left
for milk. The seeding of pastures
on poor land with the resulting
failures has convinced many far
mers that fine, permanent pas
tures can’t be produced in some
sections of North Carolina.
Crop production in the U. S.
was 6 per cent less in 1943 than
in 1942 but 5 per cent more than
in any previous season.
