If a fellow was running barefoot through a field of violets in pursuit of a beautiful young creature, there's certain to be a broken bottle among the flowers, and the nymph would turn out to have buck teeth and a goitre when you caught her. That's the way I've been frustrated by the business of eating out, in the city. There have been many occasions, in the past decade, when I have thought it must be heaven to eat out, at a restaurant, every day, all alone. Our house at mealtime has always required nerves of steel and a castiron stomach. Meals around home were always a mad melange of gags, giggling, arguments, questions with no answers, fights over dessert, and an endless recitative of domestic, social and personal problems, contributed by the Sometimes I used to clench my teeth, close my eyes, and retreat from the babel into one of my favorite dreams. There I'd be, in a romantic restaurant, just sitting down to a dazzling spread of gleaming silver and white napery. A white-gloved waiter would be bending over me solicitously. In the dimly lit interior, gypsy music stirred the senses. Several devastating women, obviously rich, lonely and bored, would be eyeing me with interest from neighbouring tables. I would sip my aperitif, glance with casual insolence about the room, and greet the head waiter familiarly, as he scuttled over to discuss the wine list with me. He would slip me a note from the Baroness Gorki, seated across the room, to whom I had nodded coldly when I entered. I would read it, give a short, hard laugh, and turn my entire attention to the gently roasted duck, festooned in truffles, and specially prepared by the chef. Just then one of the kids would knock over a glass of milk, and I'd be back at the kitchen table at home, gulping a hot dog, and assuring my wife that, all right, I'll get the dam' lawn cut but she doesn't need to blow a gasket. I'll never know how I went through years of this without developing an ulcer the size of a turnip. That's why I was looking forward to eating out when I went off to summer school. I could picture it all: a light breakfast with perhaps just orange juice, crisp bacon, roll and honey and coffee; a spartan lunch consisting of a mere omelette, a salad, and perhaps a Danish pastry; but in the evening, the works. I planned to nose out all those charming little foreign restaurants my friends in the city are always telling me they almost went to one night, and do them up brown. I was looking forward to cold vichisoisse on a hot evening, consumed with quiet appreciation and crusty bread in some candlelit French place. Followed, of course, by golden new potatoes, crisp frogs legs and a superb salad, the whole washed down by a light Rhine wine. Topped, naturally, by a choice Camembert and an ancient and honorable brandy. Well, I don't like to admit it, but something has gone wrong. My breakfast has turned out to be toast and coffee, same as at home. Lunch has become a cheese sandwich and the soup du jour, some of which was definitely made le jour before yesterday. These are eaten in hot, crowded, shouting dumps in which the flies are twice as active as the waitresses, who look at you as though you'd made an indecent proposal if you ask them for a spoon. But the real heart-breaker is the dinners. I tried it, just once. Went out all by myself to a posh clip joint, and went all out. You know something? I was ready for a strait jacket before they brought my coffee. It was so lonely in that romantic cellar that I was ready to cry. The Baroness didn't happen to be there that night, either. If it hadn't been for a nice old couple from Fort William at the next table, I'd have felt as friendless as the Prisoner of Chillon. So from now on, that dashing boulevardier standing with his nose pressed against the window at Murray's restaurant, reading tonight's special on the menu pinned up, will be yours truly. And I don't care if I never see another French-fried potato in my life. And I count the days until the week-end, when I can get home and enjoy a real rtieal in the proper atmosphere of kids fighting, spilled milk, and four people all talking at once about four different things. PASTURE SOWS TO SAVE FEED In most cases market pigs are more economically raised in feed lots rather than on pastures. The reason: young pigs generally grow very slowly on grass and require considerably more feed. However, brood sows can make good use of pastures. "It is possible to save up to two pounds of feed per day per sow when sow are on good pasture," says Garnet Norrish, one swine researcher. "Generally we put 10 to 12 sows per acre and by using an acre in sow pasture save IV2 to 2 tons of sow feed over the summer." All pigs on pasture should have access to adequate protection from direct sunlight in a form of either good shade trees or simple structures that will provide shade. , "Good pastures are important," he says. And run-out hay fields do not provide good sow pastures. He suggests a mixture of alfalfa, ladino and brome grass. The legumes will provide some protein and although the brome grass will offer some resistance to rooting by the sows, it is good practice to ring sows while they are on pasture. For a good sow pasture, seed eight pounds of alfalfa, 2 pounds of ladino and 10 pounds of brome grass with one bushel of oats per acre. Graze down the GEORGE EDISON RADIO & T.V.
