Sometimes a slight change in arrangement will save many steps. Four main kitchen activities follow each other every day, and several times a day; food preparation, cooking, serving, . and clearing away and dishwashing. Com pact centers for these four jobs should follow the same o"der around the room, usually from left to right. Equipment should be placed accord ingly. Needed utensils should be kept at each work center, says the Bureau of Heme Economics, and theye should be gcod window light and artificial light for any task.

Chewing gum usuually con tains a gum known as chicle, which has been boiled down, flavored and sweetened. Resins of various kinds are sometimes used. A gum stain can f'ftf'n be softened with egg white and then washed. Prolonged treatment with carbon tetrachloride is also sat isfactory, as a rule, although it may be necessary to remove traces of sugar by sponging with water at in tervals.

Creep-Feeding Range Calves When corn is available, range calves w : ll often make more profit able gains if they arc given access to grain. A cattleman in Nebraska de cided last year to try feeding his pasture calves o n grain in creeps dur ing the summer and fall to see whether the practice was profitable. He started his herd of about 65 calves on a half-and-half mixture of corn chop and oatsi later changing to whole corn and oats, and still later in the season adding a little barley to the oats and corn. The calves took to the feeding quite readily and on the first of November, when they wrre sold, weighed 454 pounds each. The cost of the feed, including the haulage 5 miles to the pasture, amounted to about $6.00 per calf, but the calves averaged about 60 pounds heavier than usual and brought about 1 1-2 cents more a pound than they would have without the grain, thus returning $4 00 per head over ‘he cost of creep foeding them.
