Home gardeners usually start their g a rd e n in g a c tiv itie s by reaching for a garden vegetable seed catalog. Deciding what will be grown is the first step in any gardening plan, and a seed catalog is an excellent source of informa tion. C haracteristics of soils, difference in tem p eratu re, length of growing season and amoung of rainfall vary from area to area. Because of this, choosing appropriate vegetable varieties for a given area is crucial. C ertain types of vegetable plantings that do well in one area may do poorly in another. A seed catalog will tell the gardener whether a particular vegetable variety is disease- resistant and if the variety is better suited to spring planting or fall planting. Many catalogs also contain valuable growing hints and other good ideas along with the vegetable listings.

For most soups, making what’s called stock is the first step. For a meat stock, use inexpensive cuts of meat as well as some cracked bones for flavor and body. Put the meat and bones in cold water and bring the mixture slowly to a boil. After simmering, remove the scum from the top. Then add your leftover vegetables, noodles or rice, and season. For every quart of water use about one and one quarter pound of lean meat, one-half pound of bones, two cups ot vegetables, and salt to taste.

Cattle rubbing on objects, are a sure indication o f the presence of lice. Lice cause intense irritation and loss of condition. The hair may be rough, thin and lack luster; and scabs may be evident. Lice are most plentiful around the root of the tail, on the inside of the things over the ankle region and along the neck and shoulders. Because of the close contact of cattle during the winter m onths, it is practically* impossible to keep them from becoming infested with lice. For effective control, all cattle should be treated and it may take up to two treatments to reduce lice population.
