And almost every owner has a pet theory as to how often a dog should be bathed, some maintaining that once a month is often enough,while others are of the opinion that a dog should not be bathed oftener than every six months or so, and then only during the warm summer months. The fact is that from the age of six weeks on, a dog should De bathed whenever it needs a bath. Moreover, it is perfectly safe to bathe a dog at any time of year, providing it is not running a temperature and that common sense is used in the after-bath care. Actually, the number of times a dog needs a bath depends in large part on the amount of time that is spent on grooming. Generally speaking, dogs have a built-in aversion to tub baths. Exactly why some of them raise such a ruckus when they are being bathed is not known, unless in sdme in­ stances soap gets in their eyes. Or it may be a feeling of in­ security given them by their inability to get a firm footing in a slipperty tub. More probably it is the temperature of the bath water that accounts for the aversion. Of their own free will, dogs will plunge into icy water on a winter's day and enjoy it, but put them in water that is just comfortably warm for a human and most of them will howl as though they are being boiled in oil. A. couple of drops of castor oil or of a mild eye ointment in the dog's eyes will prevent the soapy water from irritating the eyes, and the ears can be plugged with small wads of absorbent cotton in order to prevent the soapy or dirty water from running into the ear canals.

The Amateur Nurseryman You may not be the "doctor" when it comes to diagnosing and treating the serious ailments that can afflict the soil in your yard and garden, but there are "first aid" measures you can take--and the people who are experts in such mat­ ters have some pointers that can help you recognize when and how to administer corrective and preventive treatment. The subject, of course, is fertilizers for your soil. The only way to have a thorough and accurate study of basic soil conditions is with an actual soil analysis performed by your county agricultural agent or the state agricultural ex­ periment station. Your nursery garden center, with the soil test information, can help you plan a sound fertilizing program. Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 7, beginning June 11. Six credit hours are awarded for this program. For further information about this class, or any other class offered during the summer session, contact the registration office at the college (459-6800) Once that is accomplished, there are a variety of symp­ toms that can let you know when certain nutrients are needed to maintain the healthy growth of your plants. The remedies for the different' conditions you may observe are in a wide selection of organic and non-organic fertilizers, most of them available under commercial names at the garden center. Here are signs to look for if one of the important nutrients, nitrogen, is deficient in your soil: erosion in the topsoil; a very sandy soil; yellowing or stunted foliage in the plants growing in the soil; early- falling leaves from the trees. Many of those same symp­ toms can indicate the lack of another nutritional element, potash. Plan to add a fertilizer including potash if the soil is quite sandy, or if older leaves take on a yellow tint between the veins and appear scorched at the margins. Phosphorus is called for if plants remain stunted, or if subsurface drainage is poor, or the soil has an especially fine texture. Good nursery garden centers can suggest the right fertilizer to provide the nutrition you need for any of these soil conditions. Instructions for applying the material and the quantities to use will usually come with the commercial fertilizer you buy, and the garden center can give you advice for others. However, the American Association of Nurserymen offers some suggestions which will be helpful in any case. Fertilizers should be spread as evenly as possible over the soil surface. Small amounts can be distributed more easily if they are first mixed with fine, dry soil or sand. Fertilizer spreaders that move on wheels help to insure even distribution. It's a good idea to cultivate or rake in the fertilizer after spreading to prevent its har­ dening on the surface or washing away. Especially during dry seasons, newly fertilized areas should be well watered im- mediatelv. The three "first aid" lessons important to every gardener are: Learn to recognize symptoms of sick soil; know the kind of nutrient to look for in the fertilizer you choose to correct the situation; and be sure to apply the fertilizer in the right way for the best results. * * * * The man who extends fa­ vors acquires an importance only in the minds of those who receive them. 1 209 Nor th Green S t ree t McHenry .

Refrigerators and freezers operate night and day.JLf they're not in proper wording order, you can be wasting energy around the clock. These tips can help maintain them in top operating condition. Door gasket test . To check the tightness of the door seal, place a piece of paper between the gasket and the cabinet. Close the door with normal force and try to pull the paper straight out. There should be a slight drag. Repeat the test at various places around the door, including the hinge side. If there are places where no drag occurs, have a service man check the gasket and the door for proper alignment. Condensate drain. If you have a no-frost or self-defrosting refrigerator, examine the condensate drain. Make sure it's clean. A prolonged blockage will cause frost to build up on the coils and impair efficiency. Condenser coils. If your condenser coils are exposed on the back of the unit, clean them regularly. Use a bristle brush or vacuum cleaner. Newer refrigerators have the condenser coils covered by a panel. Remove it for cleaning. Some models have coils beneath the unit. To clean, remove the front grill and vacuum.
