And with electric cooking there are no products of combustion--so you won't have to wash walls and ceilings nearly as often either. Today's electric ranges keep your kitchen clean and cool.

CLARENCE J. SMITH JOHNSBURG, ILL. MpIIENRY L515-J Red Finds a "Sweet Solution" Red Jackson (ognd s slick way to get his cows to eat what's good for them. Seems they were ing op the tall green grass--I of minerals and vitamins -- and eating the short grass, which is naturally sweeter. Red solved the problem by spraying a solution of corn syrup over the grass that was going begging. The cows sure went at it. Red says it's lucky for him-- and the cows--that every one of them has a "sweet tooth." Next week, according to Red, he's going to have his cows clean up all the _ w , o fences--after he sprays them1 more corn, syrup, of course. From where I sit, some folks, like Red, are always trying oat new tricks--and others stick with the old tried and true methods. Jnst a question of preference, I guess. Like the way you may enjoy coffee with meals, while I prefer a cold glass of beer. So let's not allow any bad feelings to "crop op" by thinking ours is the only choice.
