Tips On Brightening
Bathroom Fixtures
Does the sink, bathtub and wash
basin in your home still have that
new look? If not, here’s a sugges
tion from Lucile King, County
Home Demonstration Agent, that
will help bring it back.
A paste made by mixing 1 cup
of soda with 14 cup of kerosene is
a good cleaner, rub it on the fix-
tures with a cloth, then wash with
soapy water and rinse well. An.
other good cleaning paste for these
same fixtures can be made, she
■ays, but ualng whiting, household
ammonia or kerosene.
She says 1 teaspoon of oxalic
acid to a cup of hot water makes
a good aolntion for removing iron
irust. After ft has been applied,
rinse immediately with an am-
monia solution, and then with
water. Better be careful with ox-
alls acid; it is poison.
For cleaning the nickle fixtures,
■he recommends a cream paste
made by mixing water and whit-
ing. Rub the paste on the fixtures,
then wash with soapy water, rinse
and dry. For the chromium fix-
tures just wash with hot soapy
water, rinse and wipe dry.

Interior Colors ~
Affect Lighting
Needs In Homo
The color schemes chosen for the
various rooms in the home .can
very materially affect the amount
of artificial light needed to give
comfortable and economical light-
ing. For thrift with light, either
daylight or electric, there ia an
advantage in light-colored walls,
woodwork and furnishings, says
Miss Lucile King, County H. D.
Agent. ,
She points out that in many
cases homemakers in redeco rating
the home are using the deep shades
now in vogue for wall paper, In-
terior paint, curtains and other
furnishings. This^ shift in colors
may reqquire mere lamps or the
use of high-wattage bulbs for ad^
quate illumination, especially for
the rooms where the more tedious
home tasks are performed.
To be adequate, she says good
lighting must satisfy four major
requirements. There must be
plenty of light for adequate tee-
ing and this will vary with the
task. Good lighting <8 free from
glare. The proper placing of lamp*
and fixtures will give the proper
distribution of light and in turn
will mean an absence of shadow*
on the visual tasks.
She says that shade lining! for
lamps should be white or ivory.
The light colon reflect light and
the darker colon as in the case of
the interior finishes absorb light
Since light fall* off npidly with
distance, she says all portable
lamps should be' placed dote to
Rang* Important
For Growing Fullats
A good nnge for the growing
pullets ia mighty important for
plenty of good tender gnss will
reduce the feed bill and at the
same time permits the poultry-
Iman to raise * flock of clean,
healthy birds. Pullet* on the nnge,
says R. O. Dunkle, County Agent,
can be separated from the older
birds on the farm and this is very
important from the standpoint of
disease and parasite control.
Older birds, say* Dunkle, are
often carriers of diseases and para-
site* and unless the developing
pullets are kept segregated from
them, they may be affected. He
points out that the ideal nnge is
one that provides plenty of good
green gran and shade for the
birds. Chickens do not like to get
out in the hot sun any more than
whatever ia to be seen—preferably
within 2 4to 30 inehea. The lamp
should be placed to one side or to
the rear of the seeing task. This
will help prevent glares and shad-
ows on the task.
Site recommends the use of lamps
with a diffusing bowl within the
■hade. They improve the quality
of lighting for the more tedious
eye tasks, break up harsh light,
softens shadows and reduce reflec-
tion from shiny surfaces.
Lighting is mighty important
and the plans you have may re-
quire changes in the present light-
ing system for the home. Early
planning may help you do a bet-
ter and more economical job.
ia necessary, therefor* ahade
should be provided if shade trees
are not available. The range shel-
ter is the answer. They are easy
and economical to build and '•si«JBs
furnishing shade also provide safe
housing where the birds can he
protected at night.
The growing pullets on the
.range should receive a good grow-
ing mash, oyster shell and plenty
of water. The care that the pullet
receives on the range may deter-
mine whether or not she develops
into a profitable layer. Dunkle says
one hundred pullets actually need
a minimum of 10 gallons of water
per day. He says it is a good rule
to provide at least two five-foot
feeders and one barrel-type foun-
tain for each 100 growing birds..
The range shelters, feeders, and

waterers should be moved fre-
quently to make sure that the
birds are on clean ground. Thu
shelter* should lie built on runners
so they can be easily moved. Using
this practice, he says, will help
keep down ths puarasites and dis-
eases that often are picked up by
the birds a* a result of ranging
on contaminated soil.
The poultryman who does a good
job of developlr.g his pullet flock
will have birds that are in good
condition and about 20 per cent
of the pullets should be in produc-
tion by the time they are four to
five months old, depending upon
the breed and strain.
