Genera! Hospital following eye surgery on

Here's a tip I learned from my sister - if
you're annoyed with the way the new longer
milk bag fits the pitcher, bend a piece of
cardboard to fit inside the front of it. It
should extend a few inches above the pit-
cher. The bag then slips in easily and is held
rigid while pouring.
The good autumn weather we've had this
year has kept the garden producing late. I
was able to pick enough pole beans for a
meal last week. some berries, kohlrabi,
cauliflower, tomatoes and red peppers. We
had enough huckleberries for many a pie
from just a few plants.
The deer hunters will be hoping for some
snow by next week to bring down the re-
maining leaves. The other night we saw a
picture taken on October 24 two years ago
showing quite a snowfall, the second of that
year.

Fire safety
Fire extinguishers are essential safety
devices on the farm. Regularly checked and

and your family you have a lot at stake. In-
vesting in a few fire extinguishers just
makes good sense. "DO IT OUR WAY - IT
WON'T HURT". This has been a message
from the Farm Safety Association.
