der the ridge. Also, tjowever, it
created the problem of building a
milk house which would be conven
ient to the milking area and not be
affected by drainage from the slop
ing land.
Since the driveway to the mow
followed the ridge line, it was a
comparatively easy jog to construct
the milk house beneath this natu
ral dirt “ramp,” and to connect it
to the adjacent stanchion section of
the barn. The roof of the milk
house is strengthened with heavy
steel beams.
Protein Supplement Cuts
Swine Production Costs
Farmers with ample supplies of
grain may be tempted to fill the
hog self-feeder with com and cut
down on the amount of, or even
eliminate, the protein supplement.
Such a step is not as thrifty as it
may seem.
Experiments have shown that
hogs fed com alone in dry lot re
quire 11 to 12 bushels of com per
hundred pounds of grain. When a
good protein supplement is used in
the ration, 100 pounds of pork can
be produced with five and one half
to six bushels of com and 50 pounds
protein supplement.
With hog and feed prices what
they are, this means that eveiy
bushel of com fed with a good pro
tein supplement is worth $2.25 to
$2.75 per bushel, while hogs fed
com alone return only $1.50 to $1.75
per bushel of com consumed.
Hogs fed grain and a balanced
supplement will reach market
weight in five and one half to six
months.

Modem Milk House
Built Under Drive
Idea Could Be Used
On Many Midwest Farms
Like most people, farmers have a
desire to make use of all available
space in and around their service
buildings. Few, however, thought
of locating a modem milk house un
der a driveway.
That this Is possible is shown in
the accompanying picture. Like so
many midwestern bams, the two-
story structure is located so that
about half of it (extending from
front to rear) rests on a ridge of
land. In this case the ridge if
about eight feet high.
Only that portion of the first floor,
which is built on the low ground, is
used for milking operations. This
eliminated the Joo of excavating un-

Reasonable Care Will
M Extend Life of Pillow
Pillows don’t need a lot of special
care, but reasonable attention will
extend their serviceability. They
should be aired outdoors often in
cooL dry air, or placed on a chair
near an open window. Airing nol
only clears the pillows of possible
dust but also helps prevent lumping
of feathers. A simple daily routine
is to remove eases and fluff the
when making the bed. This
Answer: Not if you are trying to
ingratiate yourself with him. A per
son is likely to be slightly bored by
being praised for something which
he knows—perhaps better than you
—that he does well. It’s the things
about which we are unsure on which
we appreciate reassurance. Years
ago when we were both young, a
friend of the great Fritz Kreisler’s
told me that the artist merely
smiled politely if you praised his
violin playing.but that be f‘would
be your friend for life” if you com
plimented him on his tennis. Try it
on your boss’s golf game!
Do you slow down gradually
as you tire?
Answer: Not so far as your work
goes, say three psychologists from
Tufts College, Medford, Mass.
Whereas tests of isolated groups of
muscles show a gradual decline in
strength after repeated efforts, the
effect of fatigue on working ability
appears in the form of ‘‘periodic |
blocks or interruptions in perform
ance, of varying frequency and dur
ation.” These presumably reflect
alterations between the worker’s
conscious determination to keep go
ing and the rebellion of his natural
instincts against prolonged, pain
ful effort.
Can jealousy make you
appear insane?
Answer: Any feeling which is so
strong that it “takes possession of
you” may make you insane for the
time being in the sense of being
unaware of what goes on around
you. And it’s possible—although I
don’t believe it often happens—that
a jealous wife might be committed
to an institution on that basis. For
that matter, jealous rage and ac
tual insanity have ths in common:
both involve “regression” to infan
tile ways of thinking and behaving.
It might take considerable skill to
decide whether the condition was
chronic or temporary.

KEEPING HEALTHY
Proteins-Meals, Milk, Eggs, Poultry
By Dr. James W. Barton
A S RHEUMATISM is the oldest
disease known to man, it is
only natural that various mistakes
as to its cause have been made in
past years, one of which was at
tributing the cause of rheumatism
to eating too much protein food,
especially meat. This idea persisted
for hundreds of years until Drs.
Alton Fletcher, Toronto, and Ralph
Pemberton, Philadelphia, were able
to show that starch foods—sugar,
bread, pastry—not meat, were an
important factor in causing or ag
gravating rheumatism.
Another condition or disease for
which the eating of meat has been
blamed for many years is high
blood pressure, which is the prin
cipal cause of brain and heart
strokes. N
While most of us are of the opin
ion that war never does any good,
there was one lesson taught us by
World War H that is of great
importance to physicians and to
patients with high blood pressure.
In the American Journal of Medi
cal Sciences, Philadelphia, Dr. J.
Kohari-Kucha rik points out that
during the siege of Budapest in
1945 the supply of animal proteins
was exhausted. This circumstance
made it possible to study the in
fluence of a diet free of animal
proteins on high blood pressure
hypertension). He reports observa
tions on patients who had been
treated for two to five years and
the majority of whom attended the
outpatient clinic fortnightly. Be
cause of the war, only 39 of the
original 150 patients could be fol
lowed. The period during which
animal proteins—meat, milk, eggs,
poultry—were unobtainable lasted
about 10 months. The 30 patients
with long-standing high blood
pressure did not show any consist
ent change in blood pressure after
this period.
However, for the average in
dividual free from high blood
pressure symptoms, the amount of
proteins eaten should be in pro
portion to the amount of physical
work done daily. The less work
done, the fewer proteins needed.

Growing in Prayer
Lesson for October 22, 195$
L IFE MAGAZINE, which does not
set up as an authority on reli
gion some years ago carried a story
about a litte girl who was going to
be confirmed in the Episcopal
church. In describing the require
ments for confirmation, the report
er said she had “graduated from
*Now I Lay Me* to the Lord’s
Prayer.”
Most Christian ministers. Includ
ing those of the denomination in
which she was con
firmed, would agree
that (1) if that is
as far as she had
“graduated,” she
still had a very
long way to go in
learning about
prayer, but (2) the
little girl had got
about as far as
thousands of “Chris- Dr * Fereman
tians” ever go. They Jearn tha
Lord’s Prayer when they are chil
dren and that’s that. When they
grow up they don’t actually pray,
themselves; they leave It up to
Grandma or the preacher—or the
tiny tots who “sound so cute” say
ing “Now I Lay Me.”

The LordV Prayer
T HIS is not meant to say anything
against the Lord’s Prayer, or to
imply that we are wrong every time
we use it. But our Lord. did not
mean that prayer to be used as a
magic formula, he did not intend
it as a substitute for our own free
prayers. We know this is so, be
cause in the first place he himself
never used that prayer again, and
in the second place, although doz
ens of prayers by Apostles and oth
ers are recorded In the New Testa
ment, the Lord’s Prayer, as such,
is never used. Then what ts the
Lord’s Prayer?
It is his suggestion as to the
lines along which, and the spirit
in whidh, we ought to pray.
(See the book by William Dong-
las Chamberlain on the Lord’s
Prayer, ”The Manner of
Prayer.”
One truth suggested by the Lord’s
Prayer Is that we are not alone in
the world. Every verb, every pro
noun referring to the one who prays,
is in the plural—OUR Father . . .
forgive VS . . . lead US . . . We
have to remember that God Is Fath
er of others, not of ourselves alone;
that we dare not be selfish in ask
ing special favors of him for our
selves.
• • •
Maturing in Prayer
P RAYER at its lowest level Is
nothing much more than “Gim
me.” The untaught pray-er may
even talk to God as if he were a per
sonal servant, a kind of celestial
bell-boy on call whenever we ring
for him.
The growing Christian will
grow in prayer as in all things;
he will grow to the point where,
even when he prays as an in
dividual, he will be remember
ing how many ties bind him to
other Individuals; he win pray
less and less for his own neces
sities and more and more for
what he may share with others.
The beginning Christian, the
childish Christian, will pray as a
child prays. If his prayers were all
arrows they would all point toward
himself. As for the mature Christian,
if his prayers were visible arrows
they could be seen pointing into all
the world; he will have those in
every land for whom he. prays, for
his heart bears their names in love
and faith. '
• • • .
Learning God’s -Will
A GO.OD deal of worrisome argu
ment * has gone on over the
question: Can prayer change the
will of God? We shall be less both
ered by that question when we dis
cover two truths.
One is that in the Lord’s Prayer,
and in the Bible generally, we have
already revealed to us the lines
along which God’s will moves; and
the other is that prayer itself is a
means of learning God’s will./
If we know that God’s will
is against something, then, if we
have any sense, we know there
is no use in praying for that
thing. If we know God’s will de
sires something, then we ean be
confident that onr prayers In
that direction win be heard
with favor.
A study of the Lord’s prayer,
from this angle, will teach a Chris
tian how to pray in accordance with
God’s will Paul knew this. When
he prayed that his Philippian
friends’ “love may abound more
and more,” he knew very well that
this was precisely in line with the
will of the Father who is eternal
Love.

LYNN SAYS:
Use These Success Tips
When Baking with Yeast
A yeast dough is rather sticky
when you first begin to knead it,
but this does not mean that too lit
tle flour has been used. As knead
ing continues, the dough becomes
smooth and satiny.
Moderately soft doughs make the
best breads, so do not use too much
flour during kneading.
If you like crusty rolls after bak
ing, place the rolls in a pan about
<me inch apart.

10 by 20 inches. Brush lightly with
butter; sprinkle a thin layer ol

Fold the dough over in thirds so
as to have long narrow strips ol
dough in three layers. Seal edge
and flatten strip with rolling pin oz
hands. Cut crosswise into 1-incb
strips. Roll each strip under hands.
Place hands at each end of strip
and twist by moving hands in op
posite directions. Pick up dough at
the two ends at the same time to
let dough shape itself into a twist.
Place twists side by side into pre
pared pan. Brush tops of twists
with butter and sprinkle with re
mainder of cinnamon sugar. Let
rise until doubled in bulk. Bake in
a moderate (375°) oven for about
25 minutes. .
Baking time of bread depends up
on the size of the loaves. A pound
loaf will usually bake satisfactorily
in 45 to 50 minutes in a hot (400* 7.
to 450°F.) oven. Plain rolls bake in
15 to 20 minutes at this tempera
ture.
Don’t forget to add salt to your
bread and rolls when mixing. It
gives a lot of flavor to yeast doughs
and also helps to control fermenta
tion.
Flour added to the dough after
mixing will result in dark streaks
and coarse textured bread and roUa.
