Feed yearling replacement .hei._ fers all the good quality hay and corn silage they will consume. If the forage is of low quality or limited in supply, the heifers should be fed up to five pounds of a. 12 per cent protein grain mixture per day to keep them growing rapidly. This will reduct the total cost of each heifer because they will reach breeding size at an earlier age. Protect your house plants from cold night temperatures. Place a newspaper between them and the windows, or pull the shades when there is a chance of chilling. If the odor of ammonia becomes strong, or if excessive moisture condenses on windows; walls or ceiling of the laying house, lower the thermostat setting so that the ventilating fans will operate even though the weather is cold. It is better to have good ventilation st 40 degrees, then to have inadequate ventilation at 50 degrees. ' • Costly Disease Virus pig pneumonia is at present one of the most costly and widespread of all swine diseases. Death losses are relatively small but there may be as much as a 20 to 25 per cent decrease in growth and feed efficiency in the infected herds. Swine producers should be very careful when purchasing gilts and boars, these animals should come from disease free herds. Transmissible gastro entritis in pigs is very prevalent during the winter months. Swine breeders and producers should make the farrowing bouse off limits to all people and animals because viruses are easily transmitted from one farm to another. The practice of cleaning and disinfecting facilities should be provided for ail persons who must enter the farrowing houses and the strictest sanitary measures should be practiced at all times.

This would be an excellent opportunity for a young cook 18-18 vears of age) to enter the portable appliance division or the barbecue division. Senior division •includes women over, 18. 'the prizes are terrific — including a jet trip to Europe for the grand prize. BUYING MEN’S SHIRTS: Various styles and fabrics in men’s shirts may cause confusion in choosing a shirt that fits well arid gives good service. Burt buying a man’s shirt isn’t difficult when you know features to look for. Fabric should have a firm even weave, be colorfast and controlled for shrinkage. Some fabrics need only minimum care. Try to fit the pattern and color to the man’s size. A large man looks better in thin stripes, neat checks, neat allover patterns and soft medium colors. A thin man looks good in large checks, plaids, heavier stripes and medium sized allover patterns. He can wear a wide range of colors. You can find more information on the desirable features of construction and tailoring in Purdue University's new extension publication publication..' “Buying Men’s Shirts..”“ The bulletin also includes tips on laundering care and<iow to check a shirt for size. SPACE SAVERS FOR THE ....... KITCHEN: Homemakers seldom have enough storage space, especially in the kitchen. But you can increase storage space for esential equipment by following some of the suggestions offered in the Purdue University rpimeo, “Space Savers for Your Kitchen Storage.” Wise use of storage space saves th° t’me and energy of the homemaker as well as lengthening the life of the equipment, savs Ruth Hutcheson, housing specialist and author of the mimeo.

Choose from illustrated set-in shelves; step shelves for spices, platters or bowls; door racks; recipe book racks: folding cabinet doors; dividers for shallow pans. Fds, trays; hanging shelves and drawer partitions. Each to follow directions are given for contraction. MORE STRONTIUM-90: People who don't drink milk have three times more radioactive material in their bones than those who do, research studies conducted at several agricultural experiment stations %how. Milk is the body's chief source of calcium. When milk is not included in the diet, more strontiurri-90 is deposited as a substitute for calcium in the bones.

as figures in the GOP presidential picture beside himself, Ford, who is chairman of the powerful House Republican Conference, has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate in the past. In another development, Rep. John W. Byrnes agreed Monday to become the Wisconsin Republican party's favorite son candidate for President in a move to head off a possible bitter clash between conservative and liberal factions of the state GOP. Both Rockefeller and Goldwater announced they would respect the Wisconsin’s GOP’s decision and keep out of the state's April 7 primary. Byrnes will head a Slate of uncommitted delegates to the Republican national convention in July. Kitchen Trim Sometimes the aluminum strips ..on. youj-kitohen, counters turn color due to exposure.

Seek Extension Os Dead-End Road Tillman ' Affokler and Hugh David Mosser appeared before the Adams county commissioners Monday afternoon, and asked the commissioners to consider extending a dead-end road half a mile in Wabash township to connect with the county line road and a northsouth road in Jay county. The two men asked the commissioners to consider extending road 33M through section 33 in Wabash township, located a. halfmile east on 116, then a mile south of General ■ At present the road dead ends, and, is frequently under water. There is a jog east in the road that connects at the county line rqad. 33,. The men felt that a new road,* with sdrrie diking of the present road, would be a great benefit to the residents of the area. In addition, the commissioners anproved an expenditure o f $979.19 from the county ditch improvement fund to improve the 7oe Batson to<? to township. The fund, for which there is a 7c levy in the county general fund, county auditor Edward F. Jaberg explained, is a rotating fund, with improvements charged against those who are benefited. The county levy is necessary to give it an operating balance and to pay the county’s share-in improvements. The projected expenses, as fell as the benefits to each piece of property, are detailed to the commissioners bv the county suveyor, Herman Moellering. In addition, Moellering asked that SI,OOO be transferred to the bulldozing allocation, a regular procedure of the county commissioners. The commissioners then adjourned to Hartford township to examine a bridge there. Also, Jaberg pointed out, bonds for hunting and fishing sub-sta-tions are SI,OOO, not $2,500; the $2,500 bonds approved were for the deputy clerks, while a SI,OOO bonds for the deputy county treasurer was approved.

The Fort Wayne lady was northbound and her auto just came through a small bridge when it dropped off the east side of toe road, went out of control, and went into a broadside skid. The auto skidded across the road and into toe “path of the southbound McFarland car. Mary Talarico, 42, of Fort Wayne, suffered a cut on toe right temple but the two drivers escaped without injury. Deputy sheriff Harold August, who investigated, estimated damages at S2OO to each car. A car and a truck collided on "t*? k at the edge of Berne at 1 o’clock Monday afternoon, with no injuries and only slight damage resulting. Chustion Joshua Liechty, 35, route 1, Geneva, was operating the truck and attempted a left turn when the truck collided with a car driven by Clarel Eugene Strausberg, 18, route 4, Portland, that was passing. Both vehicles were northbound at the time. Deputy sheriff Warren Kneuss, who investigated, said the truck was not da:\iged and only slight damage was incurred by the auto.
