The lion may never lie down with
the lamb, but near Boulder City,
Ncv., according to the Country
Home magazine, a coyote and a
sheep live together as the best of
friends. Some time ago, rising
waters in Lake Mead, formed by
the Boulder dam, created a six
acre island on which the coyote and
the sheep, a Bighorn, were ma
rooned. Although wild-life authori
ties thought the coyote %vou!d make
short work of the Bighorn, thus far
the two have lived side by side in
perfect amity. The coyote subsists
on mice and other rodents while the
sheep nibbles desert plants.
Spreading Fertilizer
To make use of the waste from
his cattle barn as fertilizer a Ten
nessee farmer collects the waste in
a concrete reservoir 10 by 20 feet
and 5 feet deep, and then pumps it
through 370 feet of two-inch pipe to
a hilltop. From there the fertilizer
Hows on the ground or in wooden
troughs to any part of the farm it
is desired, says Popular Mechanics.
The floors of the dairy farm are reg
ularly flushed clean with water and
the waste drains info the reservoir.
A heavy mesh screen at the pump
,prevents clogging.
Vitamins In Asparagus
Fresh green asparagus is high in
vitamin A and a good source of vi
tamjp B if properly cooked. It is
also a good source of iron and cal
cium. It is low in carbohydrates,
bo lends itself to a reducing diet if
served without butter or cream
