Look at actions to find out what
a person is really like. You some
times have to look at their actions
instead of their words. People often
say what they think others want to
hear. Do your actions go along

Through decisions we grow.
When we shelter another person or
even ourselves from making deci

them of the opportunity to grow.
Sometimes, because of back

If the milk you buy turns sour
before you have a chance to use it

When burning wood, keep air clean
Many of us choose to live in
Oregon for its beauty and clean
environment. The close relation
ship we have with the outdoors
contributes to healthier, less stress
ful lifestyles. But in many Oregon
communities, smoky skies signal a
rift in ths relationship. Smoke is
polluting our air, interfering with
our lifestyles and reducing our
quality of life.
If you do heat with wood, please
do your part in reducing the amount'
of smoke your stove produces.
Here are guidelines for operat
ing and maintaining wood stoves
to reduce smoke emissions, improve
stove efficiency and ensure safety.
Burn only dry firewood
Firewood moisture prevents
wood stoves from operating cleanly
and efficiently. Greenwood or wood
that's gotten wet is difficult to
ignite. Fires built with wet wood
produce a lot of smoke but not
much heat. They also deposit more
creosote in flues and chimneys.
That creosote can ignite and pro
duce very hot chimney fires a
major cause of home fires.
Efficient wood stove operation
You'll get more heat and less
smoke from your wood stove if you

hurt me? Can I keep it up as I get
older? Will it eventually make me
content?
to grow out
the proper weight for breeding and
calving will reduce overall costs.
Target weights for medium fram
ed Hereford-Angus Cross heifers
should be around 675 pounds at
puberty or breeding. If the heifer is
to calve at two years she will need
to weigh 675 pounds at 14 to 15
months of age.
A heifer that is weaned at eight
months of age and 450 pounds
must gain 200 pounds in the 166
winter feeding program and spring
turnout period to be at the 675
pounds weight for breeding. It is
rare that heifers or yearlings will
gain more than .5 pounds per day
in the firt 40 days of spring turnout.
So it is importnat that the majority
of the weight gain be done in the
winter feeding period.

Watch the fat
To save calories, go easy on fats,
sweets and alcoholic beverages.
They are often the source of extra
calories.
One teaspoon of fat or oil equals
40 calories.
One teaspoon of sugar is 15
calories.
One fluid ounce of 80-proof
alcohol equals 65 calories.

regularly monitor and adjust it for
good combustion.
Follow these guidelines:
Start the fire with paper and
dry kindling, with air inlets and
flue dampers wide open to supply
plenty of air.
Add two or three small pieces
of dry firewood. Keep air supplies
open to get the fire going quickly.
When the firewood is burning
briskly (in about 20 minutes), reduce
the air supply for a moderate burn
rate. But don't restrict air supply so
much that you extinguish the
flames.
Burn small, hot fires. Add only
one or two pieces of dry firewood
at a time. Provide more air after
refueling to help ignite the new
fuel, then reduce air supply for a
moderate burn rate. When the fuel
is reduced to coals and you don't
need to add more wood, further
restrict the air supply.
Look at what's coming out of
your chimney. If you see smoke,
increase the air supply.
Don't burn garbage, junk mail,
magazines, treated or painted wood,
plastics or gift wrapping. These
materials may produce toxic fumes
that are a risk to you in your home.
and legs. This stittness may be
accompanied by a fine trembling,
perhaps limited to only one side of
the body or one arm or leg. Shiver
ing is an important sign that the
body is having trouble keeping
warm. Older people frequently
shiver less or not at all.
As the body cools, conscious
ness is depressed. One of the first
changes caused by hypothermia is
a growing mental confusion. It
becomes progressively worse as
body temperature falls. Logical
thinking is impaired and the per
son may become completely disor
iented. Memory is also affected
and familiar things are often for
gotten. Attitude is also affected. Apathy
and diminished physical energy
are common. Often the person sim
ply doesn't care what happens and
will do nothing to help reduce the
danger. The person may also behave
strangely or become irritable, hos
tile and aggressive. Hypothermia is
frequently the result of indoor cold
exposure coupled with one or more
predisposing factors such as old
age, poor diet, illness or medication.
Over half the heat produced by
the body can be lost through the
uncovered head and neck, some
thing most people don't realize be
cause the head and neck don't
become chilled as rapidly as some
parts of the body.
Hands and feet are the first to
become cold even though most
body heat is lost from the head and
neck.

Offer dieter support
Has anyone in your household
made a resolution to lose excess
weight. If so, give him or her a gift
of support.
Dieters are more successful when
family and friends support their
efforts. That doesn't necessarily
mean that you, as the support per
son, have to go on a diet, too.
There are many types of supportive
activities.
For example, talk about dieting
and help the dieter plan nutritious
low calorie menus that he or she
can stick with for a lifetime.
Work within the framework of
familiar family food habits to
achieve a gradual weight loss (one
to two pounds per week). Count
calories together and help the dieter
learn the size of suitable portions.
Smaller plates give the illusion of
larger helpings.
Be willing to take higher calorie
desserts and snacks out of home
meals. Cake, pie, ice cream and
chips may be too much of a temp
tation to the dieter. Be supportive
by eating such desserts when you're
away from home.
Be aware that beer and alcohol
contribute un needed calorics. Help
the dieter substitute lower calorie
beverages such as iced tea.
When eating away from home
with the dieter, be willing to patron
ize restaurants that offer ala carte
and low-calorie choices. Help the
dieter to make wise food selections.
as well as to everyone breathing the
smoke from your chimney.
Don't burn overnight fires. Let
the fire burn out after you go to
bed. If you need heat, use another
fuel source or an electric blanket.

around the body. Clothing should
be layered. As a person warms up
through exercise, outer layers can
safely be removed.
Clean silk carefully
While pure silk can be pure lux
ury to wear it can also be pure
trouble to keep clean.
When you invest in clothing made .
of silk, you must be prepared for
high dry-cleaning bills.
Some light-weight silk fabrics,
such as crepe de chine, are hand
washable, but afterwards they need
careful ironing and smoothing to
get them back into shape. A major
problem with silk is that moisture
of any kind can leave lightened
areas on the fabric.
Experienced professional clean
ers with the proper skills and equip
ment can usually rid silk garments
of these lightenend areas caused by
water, food, beverages or deodor
ants. But if the wrong dyes or chemi
cals were used in processing the silk
fabric, it may be impossible to re
store an even color of a silk gar
ment. In this case, consumers are
advised to return the clothing to
the manufacturer or retail store
where it was purchased.
Silk fabrics are very strong,
except when they come in contact
with the aluminum chloride of anti
perspirants and deodorants, which
is just as damaging to silk as pers
piration. Protect silk clothing by
pinning underarm pad protectors
to the garment.
You can also help the dieter
estabish new eating behaviors that
cut caloric intake. For example.
. don't eat in front of the television
set. Learn to eat slowly, enjoying
family conversation during meals.
Encourage the dieter to exercise
by participating yourself. Try walk
ing in place of "couch potato"
activities like TV watching. I n addi
tion to buring off calories, exercise
is a good substitute when tempted
to eat.
When it comes time to celebrate,
downplay food and drink. Birth
days, Christmas and other holi
days are just as special with less
food and more family interaction.
Be aware that your own behav
ior candetera family member who
is dieting. Be understanding when
weight-loss stalls. Don't scold the
dieter for not losing. If they leave
food on their plates, praise them,
then help them make better esti
mates the next time they serve
themselves.
If you're serving, dish up ".all
amounts first, then offer second
helpings and lower-calorie choices.
This will cut waste as well as waist
lines. Above all. remember that a
change in food habits is the most
important outcome of weight re
duction activities. Permanent
changes will help the dieter to keep
off pounds that are lost. Your con
tinuing support will be needed.
