ELECTRIC FENCES
CAN BE DANGEROUS
Warning that even a very small
electric shock can be fatal, \1. L.
S. ipes, county agent for the State
College Extension Service, today
-irgt'd farmers to exercise extreme
r. re in the selection and use of
?itctric fences.
According to the National Safe
ty Council, the ordinary 110-volt
.lghting circuit can be deadly as
40,000 voits, and even the amount
)f current used by a 7-watt bulb
.s more than necessary for electro
:ution, the county agent said.
The Safety Council, Mr. Snipes
continued, cautions farmers never
to gamble with a home-made elec.
ric fence controller. Percision
jquipment is required to regulate
?lectric current within safe limits.
The ordinary lighting current must
re reduced to a fraction of an
ampere and interrupted at short
ntervals. No fence should be
anergized from any electric source
except through a controller ap
proved by a recognized testing
igency.
In addition to the use of an ap
proved controller, the Extension
^gent said, the following precau
10ns should be observed:
1. See that the equipment is -n
*,tailed correctly with good ground
jnd lightning protection.
2. Instruct everyone around the
arm how to disconnect the control-l
ler in case of emergency.
3. Do not depend upton an elec
tric fence to restrain bulls, boars,
or other vicious animals.
4. Teach children not to tamper
or taiay with an electric fence.
5. Provide insulated gate grips
for opening and clcsing gates.
6. If anyone in the community
is using an improvised or unsafe
electric fence installation, try to
have it removed and warn others
of the danger.

STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKER

To make the il.;voi Ji c r.'.i d
citrus juice iru re like that fresh
juice many housewives have lea. n.
ed the simple device oi ocurir.g the
chilled juice back and fcrth from
one glass *o ano'her just be'o p
serving. This puts back into the
juice the Eir which was removed
during vacuum canning. L:?b,ls on
some cans of citrus juice now carry
this suggestion.
But scientist-; caution th^t add
ing air this way should never be
done in advance but always, just
before serving and with well
chilled juice. Otherwise, the add
ed air will have time to affect the
C in the juice by oxidation and this
destroys some of its important nu
tritive value and its fine flavor as
well. Bccause oxidation goes slow
er in the cold and also because
cold absorbs air more readily, the
scieniists advise always having the|
juice chilled before pouring it
back and fcrth.
?
Air is removed from citrus juice
in commercial canning so that as
the juice stands in the can, its vita
main C value and flavor will not
be damaged by oxidation.
The easiest way to remove wax
from a table or other polished
surface is to moisten a cloth with
a little gasoline and simply rub off
the wax. Gasoline is a quick sol
vent for wax and does not injure
the finish on wood.
A good paint-catcher is a paper
plate pasted beneath your paint
can. It's a handy place to rest
your paint brush, too.
A damp sponge applied lightly
to upholstered furniture helps tc
remove dog and cat hairs and par
ticles of lint and dust.
If bottles are water-stained, fill
them with water and borax and
let stand. If this method does not
clean them satisfactorily, add brok
en egg shells or BB shot to borax
soluticn and shrke well.
Old Belt tobacco markets will
