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. MIRROR 0/ Your MIND ^ ^ Praise Is Not Always Welcome By Lawrence Gould 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- Should you compliment a person on what he does best?

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. LOOKING AT RELIGION CRUCtFIXIOeJ, AS PRACTICED BY THE GREEKS, ROMANS, AND EGYPTIANS, WAS CALLED *A SLAVE’S PUNISHMENT. * A CITIZEN COULD NOT BE CRUaPIED. CRIMES FOR WHICH THIS WAS THE PENALTY WERE TREASON, SEDITION, DESERTION ('*J THE CASE OF SOLDIERS), PERJURY, ROBBERY, ASSASSINATION AND PIRACY. DARIUS EXECUTED 300 PERSONS IN THIS AAANNER AFTER THE TAKING OF BABYLON. 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.” • • • • • V. . , <6 V *• * *. . 1 K i A - • » 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.

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.

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. LJERE IS a softly tailored ver- sion of the beloved sailor dress for girls of four to twelve.
