He's A Lot Of Bull
BY HAROLD ROGERS
Assistant Extension Editor
The Whitten Village farms have
a big holstein bull that’s a lot of
bull anyway you measure him.
He stands about shoulder high
no the average man and will
weigh in at a little less than
2,000 pounds--almost a ton of
animal.
Bob Wrenn, farm manager,
and Laurens County Agent M. L.
Outz think he's one of the best
around--and not because of his
impressive weight or size.
It's the milk production re
cords of his female offspring.
They 've been little short of phe
nomenal.
Wrenn has records on 17 ofthe
offspring in the Whitten Village
dairy herd, and during the last
milking cycle they produced an
average of 18,709 pounds of milk
for the 305-day period.
This compares with the overall
average of 14,580 pounds for the
•ntire 120-cow herd at Whitten.
And it was rated number six in
the state in the Dairy Herd Im
provement Association rankings
for 1968.
Translating pounds to gallons,
the 17 daughters were averaging
2,175 gallons of milk, or a little
more than seven gallons a day
for the milking cycle.
‘‘When a cow hits this neigh-
borhood she’s turning it out,"
Outz says. “She’s also come from
the right breeding stock."
The big boy here has the offi
cial name of White Plains Pacer
Echo.
He was bred by White Plains
Farm at M'-untville, and bought
“sometime in 1962," according to
Bob Wrenn. Birth records are
listed as October, 1961. Pace
maker Peel Lodge was the sire
and Rocklawn Re-Echo the dam.
“W'e knew lie came from good
stock, but we didn't know we
were getting such production pos
sibilities," Wrenn says. They
bought him with the idea of breed
ing some young heifers, “then
when we started milking some
of his daughters we could see the
results."
Over the years, “Pacer” has
shown several outstanding quali
ties.
He's sired 60 or 70 daugh
ters, all told, Wren figures.
“And probably a bigger percent
age of them have been heifer
calves than those sired by some
other bulls," he says.
Also, he presents no particu
lar problems in handling or
breeding.
“He's not a mean bull," Bob
says. “He's not a pet by any
means. We just don’t take any
chances in handling him "r any
bull, but I think his disposi
tion’s pretty good to be as old as
he is."
All in all, they think he’s a
pretty valuable animal. And right
now they’re looking into the pos
sibility of using him for arti
ficial insemination programs.
“I'd say he's as good as there
is in the state, and probably the
equal of those in the commer
cial bull ^rations," Outz says.

Dear Sally
BY SALLY SHAW
DEAR SALLY: My husband
and I have been married only
about a year, and now I’m having
serious trouble with his brother.
He has gotten into the habit of
dropping in at our home on even
ings when my husband is out of
town and throwing all sorts of
passes at me. My husband would
really clobber him if he knew
about this -- and I haven’t yet
said anything to him because I
hate the idea of starting a fight
between brothers. But at the same
time, I MUST do SOMETHING.
What do you advise? BATTLE
WEARY.
DEAR BATTLE WEARY: Re
fuse admittance to the cad the next
time be comes calling and tell
him firmly that if he doesn’t
discontinue his unwelcome tac
tics at once, you’re going to in
form your husband. And unpleas
ant though it may be, DO this if
he doesn’t stop.
DEAR SALLY: Our 18-year-old
son is objecting to one of our
“house rules.’ Since his financ
es are limited and be doesn’t
have too much money to spend on
dates, he often brings one of his
girl friends home for an even
ing of TV or listening to his re
cords. He has pronounced as silly
our rule that be bring these girls
in only when we are at home. He
claims this is old-fashioned and
prudish, and that we’re showing
a lack of faith in him and his
principles. How about this?
RULES COMMITTEE.
DEAR RULES COMMITTEE:
I’m with you all the way! No
teen-aged boy should be enter
taining a girl friend in his home
unless his parents are some
where around. Granted, his prin
ciples may be of the highest,
but there E the reputation of the
girls to consider . . .and I’ll
bet THEIR parents would agree
wholeheartedly with your ground
rules.
DEAR SALLY: Is there any
thing we can do about a neigh
bor who is a stereo bug and who
plays his records loud and clear
every evening and all evening,
sometimes until one and two a
bu? We hinted something about
this to the guy, but ditto’t get to
first base. JANGLED NERVES.
DEAR JANGLED NERVES:
Since your verbal hints haven’t
had any effect, you’re entitled to
take some action. One of these
nights when the music is un
reasonably loud and the hour
unreasonably late, call the po
lice.
DEAR SALLY: My husband and
I agreed when we were married
seven years ago that we would
postpone starting a family until
we were better off financially.
But now that we’re all right in
this respect, my husband is af
firming thatwe’re better off with
out any kids. This is a great
disappointment to me, because I
want a baby badly. Maybe if you
will say something about this in
your column, it will help to change
my husband's way of thinking.
UNFULFILLED.
DEAR UNFULFILLED: One of
the most natural, important, and
beautiful components of marriage
is the bringing into the world
and rearing of children. I do
hope, dear man, if you read this
you will allow your good wife to
fulfill the role for which she was
created.
A burned forest just isn’t any
good to anyone!

BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I deal with cloudy-
looking or streaky mirrors?
A. These are often helped with
this treatments: Add three tab
lespoons of ammonia to a bucket
of water, dip a clean chamois
into it, and swab the mirror.
Then wring the chamois well out,
and wipe the water off. Or, mix
cold water with starch and apply
to the mirror. When this is per
fectly dry, wipe the powdery
starch off with a dry cloth. If
the streaks show signs of real
stubbornness, you can some
times overcome them with a little
oil-type furniture polish.
Q. How can I prevent sausages
from losing their shape when fry
ing?
A. Place them in a pan of cold
water, and bring to a boil be
fore frying.
Q. Is there any way I can re
pair some chipped ornamental
moldings on picture frames, fur
niture, and other such woodwork?
A. Try rebuilding the missing
sections with wood putty. This is
sold in powder form, and when
mixed with water dries into a
hard, woodlike material which
can be carved, sanded, or sawed.
Q. How can I remove heat
marks from the table tops?
A. Rub them with a hard paraf
fin wax candle, then cover with
blotting paper, and press with a
warm iron. Repeat, if necessary.
Afterward, rub well with a soft
cloth to restore the finish.
Q. What is a good tip for keep
ing my silverware bright?
A. Try adding a little milk to
the water in which it is washed.
Q. How can I renovate leather
shoes that have become hard and
stiff from a soaking in rain?
A. You can soften them by first
washing in warm water, then rub
bing either glycerin or castor
oil thoroughly into the leather.
My new household-hints book in
cludes many other such sugges
tions on the care of shoes and
clothing.
Q. Is there any prior means
I can use to prevent the white
enamel paint I am applying from
turning yellow later?
A. Try adding a teaspoon of
black enamel to each quart of
white enamel paint used.
Q. How can I remove rain
spots from satin, felt, or similar
fabrics?
A. You can often brush these
