If you diagramed the paths you
travel in doing your ordinary kitchen
worlf lines would cross and i*ecioss
each other needlessly. 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.

STROMS’ DRUG STORE
McCORMICK, S. C.
Chewing gum is hard to remove
frc*n clothing, and sometimes leaves
a stain. 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.
No matter how careful you are,
you will simetimos find weevils or
worms in packages of cereal, in. the
flour bin, op on dried fruits or nuts,
new j These pe^ts come from minute eggs,
deposited probably before the pack
age was sealed, or fcofore the food
entered your kitchen. Destroy a*!!
badly infested food and any paper
containers. Wash and scald the flour
bin and other permanent containers
before using them again. Nnver leave
cereals when going away from home
for any length of time. One weevil
ly package will contaminate every
thing else the incects can reach.

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.
