D C!s islee Partner and I Lave been very busy reading Louis Bronttield's lat- est book, "Out of the Earth." It is a book that requires a lot of con- centration so don't let anyone choose it for light reading. If, on the other hand, yeu require food for thought, here you have it. But what revolutionary ideas in regari to the care and feeding of -,.i'-ideas, however, which we, at Ginger Farts, have been thinking for several years -but which Mr. Bromfield has had more opportunity to put into practice. To be successful with livestock, Mr. Bromfield asserts, you must put yourself h1 the place of your cows, pigs or chickens and figure out what condi ions would contri- bute mon to your comfort and welfare. For instance, if you were a cow, would you rather sleep on straw -covered cement or on warm deep litter in a loafing barn, bearing in mind that, in zero wea- ther, bedding on a centcnt floor is 30 to 40 degrees loner than that on a dirt floor. The sante applies to pigs and chickens -which Mr. Bromfield proves in his "Chicken Litter Story." At Malabar Farm they discovered the healthiest chick- ens were "raised on deep litter, fed cafeteria style, and provided with plenty of mineral and organic material. Big bunches of green alfalfa were hung- up so the chick- ens could pick at it at any time. Access to fresh cow manure was found to be the most effective means to stop cannibalism among hens and chickens. But the most amazing Bromfield theory was that scouring and disinfecting poultry houses was detrimental to the health of the chickens because, while the disinfectant killed malignant germs it also destroyed the beneficial bac- teria necessary to the development of mould and fungi, which, in turn, create the germ -killing anti -biotics -known to us as streptomycin and feaaa y V 611 %Yonder mitten - so easy, so fast.

Mr. Bromfield hasn't touch use for commercial feed -prefers to feed his poultry whole oats and corn with access to hop- pers containing meat scrips, oyster shell ami minerals. Having digested all this informa- tion from "Out of the Earth" I began to wonder ii the eggs from Malabar Farm were sold commer- cially. If they were it is nay goes; most of the eggs would be graded as Grade B or Grade C, because hens fed as Mr. Bromfield suggests would probably produce eggs with dark yolks -and just try shipping eggs with yolks any deeper in col- our than a lemon and you get Grade 13 every tune. That is why commer- cial feed is used so extensively; Now for our own experience. Most of the time our laying ]tens are shut up and fed the modern way. But in the spring when the grass is fresh and green -and rich in vitamins -we take lawn clip- pings out to the hens. Bees around a honey pot are not in it with the way those biddies scramble for the sweet, green grass. Because we thought h was what they wanted we kept feeding grass as long as the liens would eat it. And what happened? The hens were more act- ive, looked better and laid better - but the eggs had dark yolks and were classed as Grade 13. Knowing the reason, did we stop 'feeding grass? We did not. We knew the hens were more healthy and the eggs more nutritious -so we just took the loss. Another thing -in the fall some of the hens would mope and appear half sick. Any time Partner found hens that way he put them outside to roam at will. And what was the first place they headed for? The barnyard, no less, and spent most of their time pick- ing away at the manure pile, which, Mr. Bromfield claims, is the main source of Vitamin B,12 -essential in the treatment of deficiency dis- eases. So it it not surprising that hens that were turned loose in- variably recovered, What does it all amount to? just this. The con- sumer public, through egg -grading propaganda, imagines that dark - yolked eggs should be treated with suspicion. Poultrymen, anxious to please the public, concentrated on light -yolk eggs. So the -housewife buys eggs low in vitamin content and then goes to the drugstore and buys Vitamin capsules for her fain- ily, Eggs should be graded for freshness and blood -clots but it is time this nonsense about dark - yolked eggs was stopped. T have nothing to say against commercial feed but surely it can be supplemented by natural vitamins and minerals when available. One might just as well say that because garden produce can be bought in cans it is unnecessary to eat raw fruits and vegetables in season. CARRYING ON A doctor had an urgent call from a man whose small son had swal- lowed a fountain pen. "All right," replied the doctor. "I'11 come as soon as I can, What are you doing about it in the mean- time?" "Olt," said the father, "in the meantime I'm using a pencil," Things You Should Know About Nylons Tiow do you select your hose? Do you buy by size and color, re- gard'ess of the weight and gauge? Thai's what most women do; ac- cording to a recent survey. Too often, when we complain that our hose aren't hoiditi up, the trouble is that we have bought too sheer a lair for regular use. Many times we buy what we sce dis- played Without investigating their wearing possibilities, It's not fair to blame the manu- facturer for hose that don't wear well when the fault lies in our own purchasing habits. The first thing about good buy- ing procedure for nylon stockings is to understand the terms "gauge" and "denier." If you exaut:ne a pair of hose carefully you'll notice there are rows of stitches going around the leg. The number of rosy- in every inch and one-half is called gauge. Compton gauge figures are 45, 48, 51. etc. That means there are 45, 48 attd 51 stitches ht one and one- half inches around the' leg of the stocking. Denier refers to the weight of a defin'te tenth of thread. The larger the number, the heavier the weight of the thread. Usually, the heavier -weight thread will give bet- ter wear than will the lighter weights. Stockings are made in weights from 15 to 70 denier. Fifteen denier is very sheer. It is.a popular weight hose today, and for that reason it is frequently the hose on the display counters. If you buy 15 -denier weight hose and use them for every -day wear, you probably wonder why' nylons don't wear very well. ' Ffteen-denier thread with a 54 or 60 -gauge makes a very fine and sheer stock'ng, but it should only be worn for formal occasions. Medium sheers range in weight from 20 to 30 denier at 51 gauge. Then there are the heavy sheers, 40 to 45, for service weight. Maybe you'll want some of each weight, but be sure you don't wear 15 denier for housework, Another thing that assures longer wear for your stocking is to be sure that you get the right size. Nylon hose should be fitted a half-size larger than should cotton or rayon. If you wear 9f5 in rayon, be sure that you buy size 10 in nylon. Nylon doesn't stretch like other threads. This is especially true if you wear open -toed shoes, which add an extra strain on the toe of the stocking, Leg length is important in -buy- ing stockings too. Too short ones develop runs in a short time. If you buy them too long, they are generally folded under at the top where the garter catches the mesh of the weave below the ribbing. Measure the pair that fits you beat. and try to purchase that length. Give your hose good care after yop buy then!. Wash them care- fully after each time you wear them. .Use lukewarm water with mild soap flakes or detergents. Hang- them carefully over a rack to dry. When dry, fold them and keep them in a snag -proof box or a cellophane bag until they are to be used, CURIOUS Mose went with Mandy for about 10 years, but never proposed be- cause he first wanted to own some property and an automobile.
