C. i ;< m ■ hi' Good Pasture Program Means More Profits Over-Grazing Can Kill Out Pasture Growth Now is the time to plan a “com plete pasture program” that will give your dairy cattle an abundance ef high quality, low cost feed at aU times next year, says the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee. The Farmer who has an all-season supply of succulent forage, grass silage or hay is the farmer who will have bigger milk checks, lower feed costs and more overall profits, the ceaamittee points out. kCa«4 Jones, Ohio State University extension agronomist, says that a wel-rounded pasture plan should in- chide: (1) Seeding well adapted leg I ume-grass mixtures; (2) The use of lime and commercial fertilizer; (3) Good grazing management. Jones recommends alfalfa, ladino clover and grass for summer graz- Where alfalfa does not thrive, ladino clover and grass will do a good Jeb. Timothy, brome grass or orchard grass may also be used. Re cautions farmers to avoid kill ing out pasture growth by over graatng and to provide palatable and nwtrttieas pasture by avoiding un der grazing. Jones suggests dividing pasture areas into lots. Cattle are allowed to graze down growth in one lot and then are moved to another. Along with good legume-grass mixtures and managed grazing, Jones emphasizes the benefits from adding lime and fertilizers carrying nitrogen, phosphate and potash. Poultry Industry Expects To Bopst Production One of the nation's newest agri cultural industries is expected to boost the value of poultry products beyond the four billion dollar mark this year. This new Industry—known as the broiler industry—is expected to ac count for almost half the chicken meat consumed in 1951, compared to an almost negligible amount 15 years age. Poultry breeders have succeeded in developing chickens that eat less and still grow from two to three weeks faster to reach mar ketable size. H. H. Alp, Director of Commodity Departments for the American Farm Bureau Federation, recently credited the success of the new in dustry to the nationwide Chicken- jOf-Tomorrow program sponsored since 1945 by A & P Food Stores. Only a few years ago, according ,to U.S. Department of Agriculture reports, most of the chicken meat consumed in this country came from so-called “backyard flocks.” Rec ords of specialized broiler produc tion in 1934 show that these chick ens accounted for only 3 per cent of total consumption of 18.8 pounds •f chicken per capita. In 1951 broil ers are expected to account for 51 per cent ef a per capita oonsump- lieu ef 29.T pounds. Hayloft Door WINTER VISITOR . . . Mrs. Glen W.

MIRROR Of Your MIND ^ ^ Learning May Replace Acts By Lawrence Gould Does knowledge insure performance? Answer; No, write Drs. David G. Ryans and Norman Fredericksen in a symposium on “Educational Measurement.” One of the most common mistakes in the field of measuring people's abilities is to assume that someone who knows all the facts and principles involved in a task will therefore be able to perform it. From the standpoind of employing anyone, it is “perform ance tests’* that count. There not only are a lot of people whose fears or repressed resentments will nof let them put what they know into practice, but learning and studying can become substitutes for action, especially for someone who has a neurotic fear of failure. Are “forgetting” and •'repression” the same? Answer: Not quite. What you re press because it is “too painful to think of' is indeed forgotten so completely that you cannot bring it back to mind by any effort of will, and even the fact that some one’s name has painful associations (perhaps because it is the same as that of a person you dislike) may make you forget it But many things are forgotten because they have not enough emotional importance to make you recall them. It is the need to justify feelings of anger or self- pity that makes you “unable to for get’’ an injury, and it is good psy chology to dwell as little on such memories as you can. Will deafness make people avoid yon? Answer: No, writes Mrs. Grace E. Barstow Murphy, who is deaf herself, in her recent book, “There’s Always Adventure.” Other people rarely mind your being deaf. What they mind is “a bad approach to deafness.” If you are ashamed of being hard of hearing and try to conceal it, you will cause others much more inconvenience or annoy ance than if you accept the fact and ask them to go half way in establish ing communication with you. While there are exceptions, the idea that deafness will make you a “social outcast” is mainly the product of the tendency to be suspicious, which is often a deaf person’s chief emo tional problem.

How Exercise Strengthens the Blood By Dr. James W. Barton 1 * WRITE OFTEN about the “friendly force” behind mankind and of how nature is always ahead ef man’s needs in supplying him with extra blood, extra blood pres sure, extra white corpuscles to fight off invading organisms and increased amount of adrenal juice to strengthen him in an emer gency. I have also pointed out how na-, ture meant that man should use the hundreds of muscles in and on his body to keep him strong physical’y, give him an appetite, help his diges tion, regulate the bowels, enrich his blood and maintain blood pressure. By simple physical work or exer cise, man obtains all these helpful services. And should man engage in regular physical training or exer cise, if only five to 15 minutes daily, he becomes faster in his move ments. This applies to all forms of games or athletics, and a fraction of a second may make the differ ence between a win and a loss. An interesting experiment show ing the value of work or exercise to man’s physical make-up is recorded by Dr. B. Gabraoui, Cairo, in the Journal of the Royal Egyptian Med ical Association. One of the juices very valuable to man’s strength and speed of ac tion is histamine as manufactured by the adrenal glands, situated one above each kidney. It is this juice or extract that enables Vian to do his best if he has to fight or flee in an emergency. Dr. Gabraoui made observations on healthy volunteers to learn if work, exercise (muscular move ment), affected the adrenal glands. In all experiments it was found that muscular contraction (work, exercise) in man is accompanied by a flow of histamine into the blood. The blood plasma collected after contraction of muscles con tained three to four times more his tamine than the control plasma sample.

In a stew about how to feed that family of yours on the budget you simply can’t stretch any farther? In a stew about what to serve ’em these crisp winter nights? Are those your questions? The an swer is in the questions themselves, in a stew! Something that will stick to the ribs, and yet won’t cost you a week’s allowance? Stew’s the answer! Something savory and appetite-teas ing? Stew’s your answer! Something that practically cooks itself, while you busy yourself with other household tasks? Some thing that will save time and trouble for the family dish and pot-washer? And echo answers stew! You don’t need the luxury cuts for a good stew. Ev*n if you could get a leg of lamb, now as scarce and up per-bracket as a beef rib roast, you wouldn’t consider, it. No legs, but you can get shoulder chops and breast cuts, for the tastiest stew you ever let simmer on your stove. A lamb stew saves time, too, because it’s a one-pot deal. No preambl* of browning, for the fat of the shoul der or breast gives flavor to the whole dish. Onions and carrots are always with you—no closed season on these fresh vegetables—and what more could you want? Potatoes, while slightly higher in price these days, go farther cut up in a stew, than mashed or cooked in other ways. •» Lei Family Enjoy Simple Meals In a Dish (St* Recipes Below) BEEF CUTS TOO The cheaper cuts of beef, like chuck and rump, go a long way, in a stew, too. With beef, remember to seal in the juices by slow and thor ough browning before adding the water. The same holds for the vege tables you plan with It. Then join all forces, and let it simmer away as long as you can refrain from eating it all up yourself. You can save on chicken, too, by buying the less costly hen, and giv ing it the stew business. Have your butcher cut it up for you at the market. Roll the pieces in flour, and when the fat is well heated, add the meat and brown it to the golden stage. Then put it aside and add your vegetables, your onions, ceiery or whatever, and cook them just short of the browning point. Then add your water, a little of the stock or a bouillon cube, your seasoning, and then the chicken. Then go about your business—in a couple of hours of slow, low-heat - cooking, your chicken stew will be ready for your family. Ox-tails? Sure, if you can get ’em, and most of you can from that ob liging butcher of yours. Have him cut ’em in 2-inch lengths. Place them in a deep sauce pan, cover with boiling salted water, and cook gently for about half an hour. Drain off the stock, dip the oxtaUa in flour and brown them before adding your vegetables. When the vegetables are tender, add the boiling water and seasoning, and cover tightly and let it cook gently for about two hours. Before serv ing, thicken the gravy, and watch that hungry family of yours gobble ’em up, and ask for more. Village Population Jumps by the Dozen NANTUCKET, Mass. - The 2.800 population of the island village of Nantucket jumped by 18 in one aft ernoon recently with the arrival ef the family of the Rev.

Two Rich Men Lesson for February 18, 1952 Dr. Foreman E VERYBODY knows that Jesus took an interest in the poor. But there is another side of the pic ture: Jesus took just as keen an in terest in the rich. Some of his must famous and pene trating r: y i n g s were spoken i n conversations with wealthy men. The truth is, Jesus was interested in people, as people. Whether they were rich or poor was, for him, a side issue. And still he knew that a man with money has both temptations to evil and opportunities for good that the poor man never has. • • a Two Rich Men J ESUS met two men of means who were quite different from each other. One, who remains nameless, had much to recommend him. He was rich, but perhaps that was the last thing people thought about when they saw him. He was young and vigorous; when he came to Jesus for an interview he did not walk, he ran. He was a man of execu tive ability, for the story calls him a “ruler.” He was good, at least he claimed to have kept all the Ten Commardments, and Jesus did not contradict him. Furthermore, he was eager in the right direction. His prin cipal ambition was not to have more money but te have eter nal life. On top of all this, Jesus loved him. You would certainly think that a man like that couldn’t miss. But ho did. On the other hand was the man Zacchaeus. Being a publican, and rich, it is perfectly obvious that he couldn’t have been either honest or generous, for it was only the greedy and the dishonest in those days who could amass fortunes by collecting taxes. He was no doubt middle- aged, for it took time to rise to the top ia the publican game. As for eagerness for spiritual things, he seems not to have felt a bit of it. We may guess that Jesus was not the only one who loved the rich young ruler; but if Jesus loved Zac chaeus, and he must have, he was perhaps the only person then in Jericho who did. No community loves a man who blefeds it white. Yet, strange as it seems, it is this rich man, this bad rich man, who comes out in the end with a higher rating than the “good” rich man. • • a Money the Master T HE last thing we see of the good rich man is his turning his back on Goodness. He had a chance to follow Christ—the same chance that Peter and Matthew had, the same command. Follow Me! What great service Christ had in mind for him we shall never know. All we know is that be made the great refusal. Per haps he thought better of It and came back later on; but It Is not likely. The last we see of him Is his back, as he “went away sorrowful.** Jesus never said of him what he said of Zacchaeus. Salvation never came to his house. He never in herited the eternal life he wanted When it came right down to a choice: money, or eternal life, he chose money. He was willing to be a Christian, but not a sacrificing Christian. He only wanted to be an inheriting Christian. He thought of himself (no doubt) as master of his money; instead, money was his master. His monejr talked so loud he could not hear well what Jesus said. His money talked so fast that it made what Jesus demanded sound like nonsense. • » • Money the Servant J ESUS did not ask all his follow ers to get rid of every penny they possessed. Zacchaeus, for In stance, did not renounce all he had. What he did was to give back all that did not belong to him, and give away a good deal that did. Jesus did not ask this man to do more. A doctor does not always pre scribe the same operation for every one. For some men, an appendix is a source of danger and must be removed at once, for others, an appendix may safely and most wisely be left where it Is. Jesus could see that the younger man was at the point where money was about to be his master; so in deed it was for the older man. But the first could not shake off the tyranny of his wealth, his own wealth; the other man could. For the servant of Christ, money is not in Itself a sin. It is a root of sin when its voice U louder than the voice of the Master. It is the means of sin when it stops the ears to a cry of'need. No one can call himself a Christian when he re fuses his money in the service of 12-42 |/f T HIS charming yoked style is so easy to sew, you’ll want ta make several versions for warm weather.
