Wilderness Camp action packed learning experience for youth
4-H Wilderness nnrichincniCamp
fur '93 was an action packed learn
ing experience for Warm Springs
youth. Campers practiced decision
making skills with the many classes
offered this year. Classes included;
Fishing with Russell Charley, Build
ing A Shelter with Jenny Langncse,
where campers learned how to build
a shelter with and without supplies.
Connie Dlotlgctt Willie Sahmcand
Willie Danuka instructed campers
on How To Build A Swcathouse.
Bob Kulby showed campers the fine
art of Hint Knapping, and How To
Make A Dream Catcher.
We were thankful to have Jay
Walsh teach the campers New
Games, this activity is always a fa
vorite with Warm Springs youth.
Joining the team this year was
Crystal Winishut 4-H Program-Aid
who was great support and indis
pensable help. Also new to camp this
year was Extension Agent Tim
Wojtusik and Sarah Green who en
lighten campers about Wildlife
Habitat.

Treating
Huckleberry stains
By Norma L. Simpson
As I write
f r this column, the
w honored huck-
lebcrry pickers
arc in the forests
gathering the
'huckleberries
for the Huckle
berry Feast. No
doubt, they and
the rest of us af
ter the feast will have stains on our
clothing from the huckleberries.
Many other berries, such as the
marionberry, boysenberry and rasp
berries also can be hard on clothes if
we do not remove the stain promptly.
But promptly docs not mean with the
nearest stream. Cold water can often
set a stain that will never come out of
colored clothes.
Use boiling water
Our family has always removed
berry stains by pouring boiling water
through the wrong side of the fabric.
What I learned new this week as I
removed marionberry stains from a
new pair of slacks was to mark the
spots with safety pins from the right
side then fold the slacks over a large
lid. You can see the pin even if the
stain is not completely through the
fabric and you don't burn yourself
with the boiling water.
Hold the steaming spout about 3
4 inches above the wrong side of the
cloth, and aim the water directly at
the stains. Wait for a minute for the
boiling water in the lid to cool down,
then turn the cloth to the right side to
see if all the stain has been removed.
If the stain is stubborn, give it an
other shot from the boiling tea kettle.
It's like magic
If the stain went completely
through the cloth, you will see the
magic before your eyes as the boiling
water carries the berry or peach stain
away.
I haven't had much success with
removing berry stains after I have
tried to treat them with other things
like stain removers, or cold water.
But I did have a little success with on
yellow shorts.
Table cloths used under the table
mats can be treated this way too.
POST SCRIPT: My wingdrcss
needed a treatment too, after juice
leaked from the plastic bag of berries
that I brought back for the Jam
Workshop held on Wednesday.

When is a cow more than a cow?
r
When it's a meal
Most people usually think of beef
as a hamburger, steak or delicious
roast for a satisfying and nutritious
meal. There arc other edible parts in
addition to the protein-packed and
mineral-rich muscle. The variety
meats such as li cr, heart, tongue,
kidneys and sweetbreads arc just a
few of the tasty alternatives used in
gourmet dishes. But there are some
edible products that arc not so obvi
ous. Did you know that the gelatins
in products such as ice cream and
yogurt are made from the bones of
the cow?
Take a look at some basic edible
by-products:
Collagen-based: sausage casings
Gelatin: ice cream, yogurt, can
dies, flavorings, marshmallows,
mayonnaise
Blood: blood sausage, protein ex
tracts Plasma Protein: cake mixes,
"pasta, imitation seafood, decp'-fry"
batters
Fatty acid-based: olco marga
rine, olco shortening, chewing gum
Even inedible by-products of beef
cattle are used to feed other animals.
Beef fat, protein and bone meals are
used in feeding poultry, pork, dairy
cattle and domesticated fish. Now
that's food for thought.
Super Stomach
Humans have some physi
ological similarities to the cow,
but there is one major difference.
The bovine' s complex, 4-com-partment
stomach enables it to
digest and convert all types of
vegetation indigestible by hu
mans, into energy and important
"building blocks" of the body.
The simple human system cannot
utilize vegetation efficiently, and
therefore these potentially valu
able resources would be wasted if
we didn't get them from another
source.

ences, Forestry, Liberal Arts, and
Science.
A special focus especially for
American Indian students is also be
ing designed within the curriculum.
Students will learn to prepare them
selves for employment in natural re
sources on the reservation. Exposure
to a wide array of courses in various
aspects of natural resources manage
ment will also be a feature of this
major, and allow a student the flex
ibility to pursue on area of interest to
him or her.
The degree will also give students
the ability to deal with social and
political components of resource
management.

Cattle have great similarities in or

Our bodies will easily accept a medi

many arc still made from beef animals

Butcher, Baker,
Candlestick maker
The beef industry is an active
part of our economy. By products
serve as a source material for
hundreds of other industries. In
other words, without beef as a
renewable resource, not only
would the butcher be out of work,
but so would businesses that pro
duce pharmaceuticals, chemicals,
and textiles. Yes, it even affects
the baker and candlestick maker.
When it gets us there
By products arc used in all types
of mechanical items to get us where
we're going. Chemical manufactur
ers use numerous fatty acids from
inedible beef fats and proteins, for all
sorts of lubricants and fluids. Anti
freeze contains glycerol derived from
fatty acids to keep your car running
cool. Tires have stearic acid which
makes the rubber hold its shape un

able regarding management of the
calves you have marked for sale. We
can talk about those another time.
What I'm taking about here are
not management options, rather a
marketing alternative. It's about
video auction marketing, a way to
have 5000 buyers see your cattle
rather than the usual 50. The object
on the producer's end, of course, is to
get the best price for those calves.
Well, with all those bidders, it's only
natural the price will usually be higher
than at the sale barn.
There are certain minimums in
numbers of calves that must be put
together before a video auction mar
keter would be willing to haul his
equipment down here. It's possible,
though. For Example, one marketer
needs to have a rather uniform crop
of calves all weighing within 100
pounds of each other, with a mini
mum of 50,000 pounds of beef on the
hoof in one pasture.
So in this instance, we would need
to put together one hundred calves
weighing about 500 pounds each.
That may seem like quite a few calves,
but the good news is they do not have
to all belong to the same producer.
Several families could pool their
herds and work it that way.
Once the calves are together in the
pasture, the marketer videos them
and the picture is sent to the sale via
satellite. Then those 5000 buyers call
in their bids, just like at the sale, only
at a better price.
If you are interested in seeing how
this system works, we can watch a
video sale at the Extension office
some time soon. Just let me know.

12 WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR GARBAGE AT HOME.
These suggestions come to us from the Blackfeet Extension
News in Montana.
1. Reject. Think before you buy any item. Do you Really need
it? Can you make do with what you have?
2. Check the packaging. Buy for contents, not the container.
Why pay for flashy, waasteful packaging?
3. Avoid Disposables. Stay away from disposables plastic
foam cups and plates, diapers, napkins, cct.
4. Look for reusable conatainers. Where possible, buy products
that come in retumable.reusable containers. Soft drinks in bottles,
milk in jugs , etc. Try to find ways of reusing other jars and cans
around your home.
5. Buy durable products. Look beyond the price. Consider
operating costs and the life span. You may have to pay a little
more, but you will get more value for your money.
6. Repair it. Instead of throwing it out, fix it up.
7.Save. Save those little things: ribbon, wrapping paper, string,
rubber bands, paper clips, shopping bags. You can use them over
and over again.
8. Buy second-hand, rent, share. Watch your local paper for
good buys. Shop at second hand stores. Consider sharing the xost
fo wxpensive items lawn mowers, garden appliances? ladders,
etc. with your food and garden watccs in a compost plot. It cuts
garbage and improves the soil.
9. Let someone else use it. Don't dump your old clothes,
furniture and appliances into the gaarbage when you are finished
with them. Local charities and second-hand shops can spruce
them up and make them available to other people.
10. Make compost. Recycle your food and gaden wastes in a
compost plot. It cuts garbage and improves the soil.
1 1. Use recycling centers. Separate your left over bottles, cans
and paper and take them to a recycling center.
1 2. Buy recycled paper. Try to buy products and packages with
contain recvcled material.
