Thursday, April 1, *1954 Consider Safety In Trash Disposal A really successful spring cleantip in your home will probably leave you with a pile of trash on your hands. Problem: how to dispose of it? Many towns have special rub- I bish pick-ups during Clean-Up Week. Others, however, do not. In that case, you may decide a tnash fire is the simplest solution -- and this can cause a lot of trouble! Trash fires can easily get out 1 of hand, and, realizing this, some mmunLties forbid them entirely. If yours does not, check into any local fire department regulations before starting such a fire. For example, some communities require a fire department permit. If ihe only way to get rid of your trash is t« burn it, the National Board of Fire Underwriters suggests you take the following ' precautions to lessen the danger: 1. Never light an outdoor fire . on a windy day. 2. Set out, and attach, your gar- ' den hose. Keep it handy until the fire is completely out. 3. Use a wire mesh basket'or a metal container with a cover to burn in. Set it well away from any touilding, fence or tall grass. 4. Keep children away. * 5. Stay with your fire until it is out and the ashes are cool enough to touch with bare hands. Farmer's Question Corner! nirttw n lacrkN fiMihWw hr total RcaHk PASSENGER?

ADD VITAMINS AND MINERALS TO LOW QUALITY ROUGHAGE j If your using low-quality roughage to finish %out spring dairy feeding, take special care to supply all vitamins and mineral needs. K. A. Kendall, dairy production specialist at the University of Illinois, says rations with lowquality roughage may be deficient in vitamins A and D and calcium and phosphorus. Include 16 to 18 percent total protein and 1% percent steamed bone meal or dicalcium phosphate if you're using such roughages as straw, corn silage, fodder or stover. This will supply the calcium and phosphorus needs of the milking herd, dry cows and growing animals. Add vitamin A-D supplement if you're feeditig no silage and a iow-quality roughage for a long ^period. Exposure to sunlight wyi normally supply vitamin D needs, Kendall explains. Vitamin A deficiencies in rations of dry cows will result in weak and unthrifty calves. Rations low in vitamins will also stunt the growth M young calves and growing stock. If you have only limited supplies of good legume hay, Kendall says to feed it to the calves and growing stock. Their n$pds are the greatest. Why one can be wide awake at 4 a.m. but unable to get up at 7 a.m. remains a mystery.
