Antibiotics Do Not Control Worms In Hogs Lafayette, Ind. — Successful dairymen have a common goaldevelopment and maintenance of a dairy, herd of high standards. According to G. A. Williams, Purdue Univ, extension dairyman, one of the Quickest and surest ways to reach this goal is to maintain a complete and continuous system of records. Irrespective of the breed selected, whether or not they are grade or pure bred cows, and regardless of numbers, no tool offers more assistance in raising the herd to standards of high levels than a continuous testing program. The average yearly production of all cows in Indiana is i504<9 pounds of milk (this includes registered and grades) — an average much too low for economical production. Williams bases this conclusion on an analysis of Dairy Herd Improvement Assn, records over a period of years. Williams cites the record of a central Indiana herd, varying between 15 and 20 cows during the year. Only cows on test the full 12 months were included in the study, this numbered 15. The upper one-third of the cows made an income above feed costs of sß«s>6. Returns above feed costs for the second ranking group was $504 and for the third lowest

group, returns were only SB. The Purdue man says that at that rate —the dairyman would have to house, feed and milk 107 animals to equal the income of one stable mate in the top group. No dairy enterprise can operate as a profitable unit if it continues to maintain cows whose profit making ability is that low. The following suggestions will be helpful in developing a profitable herd: 1. Keep feed and production records on every cow year after year. Herds comprising a limited number of animals may be too small to justify membership in a herd improvement association but the purchase of a set of milk scales is a small investment for even one cow. i 3. Records that are not used are useless. Nothing is gained by testing a herd unless the lowest producers are sold and replaced with better animals. 3. Grow and feed plenty of early cut and properly harvest ad legume hay. Good roughage without any concentrates will produce 80 per cent of a cow’s inherited ability to convert feed into milk. 4. Maintain a disease control program. ■5. Breed best cows to proved sires and make herd replacements from these heifers. Continuous testing is the tool which, if given an opportunity, will spot these work-making but money-losing cows, but ti remains for the owner to make use of the tool. Otherwise, it is useless.

Home Accident Causes Are Cited Lafayette, Ind. —ln the farm home, more accidents occur in the late afternoon and early evening than at any other time during the day. One survey shows that one out of every three farm home accidents occurs between 5 and 8: 00 o’clock in the evening. Another accident period is around noon—between 10 and 1:W o’clock. Miss Eva L. Goble, state leader of home demonstration agents at Purdue University, points out that these are high fatigue points in the day. She recommends that homemakers plan their time around those periods rather than trying to crowd too much work into -them. Many accidents happen when homemakers are hurrying and when they are tired. A short rest in the middle of the morning and afternoon will help prevent fatigue. Homemakers can avoid many accidents £y having a work schedule which will allow enough time for the necessary jobs. With a well organized work schedule, every homemaker will have time to follow her regular habit of mopping up, immediately, any drops of grease, water or fruit peelings which might be dropped on the floor. Since water causes grease to splatter, homemakers should take time to dry any food taken from water before placing it into hot fat. To avoid burns when lifting the lid of a roaster or steam kettle, they should cover their hands with a dry cloth before lifting the lid and lift lids away from the body. To avoid falls, the homemaker should take time to get a step stool or ladder to reach high shelves and not use just any handy chair or stool. Miss Goble reminds homemakers that these high fatigue periods are danger times for children also. Many deaths have been caused by burns and scalds when mother was too busy to keep an eye on the youngsters. Handles of cooking pans should be turned away from the edge of the range and out of reach of little hands. FARMS OF THE FUTURE They’re making some strange prophecies about the farms of the future. By 1970, the American farm nostalgic centerpiece of song and story, will be about as romantic as a cannery or an insurance office, if the statisticians of the U. S. Department of Agriculture are correct. There will be 400,000 less farms, a total of a bare five million, and 34 million more people to feed. In the meantime, the rush of farmers and farm workers for town will continue, six million having left in the last four years. But, we’re* not going to starve, they tell us, nor will we have to live on synthetic foods. By 197:0*, the five million farms will be business institutions, the old-fa-shioned family-farm merely a tender memory. On these highly mechanized, precision-ope rated farms every cow and chicken, pig and sheep will have a production quota to meet, and the mere handful of super-men who will run them will be too busy to go fishing or waste time going to town or reading the mail-order catalog or shooting a deer or a quail in season. Somehow, 197'9 seems a bit soon for all this. It will take a' lot of doing to stop the springsong of the meadow-lark, the enticing siren song of the brook over the stones, to stop the perfume of fresh-cut hay or the urge to pet a starry-eyed calf, to

In most sections of the country you’ll find some member of the catfish tribe on hand in river or lake, and they provide a lot of fun, sport, and good eating for several million anglers. Catfish not only are abundant, but they are also ready to gulp in worms or crawfish and offer action for long periods at night. Fact of the matter is, where streams are murky most of the time, such as around the west central regions, catfish often are the only edible species to be found. Catch a mess of the medium sized cats, skin ’em, and fry ’em over a wood fire by the river bank or lake shore and you’ll have a downright tasty snack. The channel cat is a lively, playful fish in the currents of clean streams, and if you’ll give them a chance to tussle against a springy bamboo live bait rod, limber tubular steel rod, or flexible gjass rod around 8 feet in length, you can expect plenty of action. Although channel cats prefer crabs, minnows, worms, dough balls, bugs, and grasshoppers, they will seize a streamer fly, small spinner, hair bug, or feather-minnow. This gives you some good sport on a fly rod, and brother a big cat on a flv rod is something to wrangle with! Let your lure drop at the tail of a pool, foot of riffles, or below a waterfall; twitch it slowly; then set the hook firmly when a catfish clamps his satchel-mouth shut. Play him in the quieter reaches, until at length he is ready to call it quits. Let Old Hi’s free, illustrated booklet “Fishing For The Millions’' give

you some other pointers on catching catfish, especially the popular methods of trot-line fishing ana “ j ugging.” Here is something for you to try out in your section. Just drop a postcard request to me, in care of thia newspaper. Better do it today, for the supply is limited and this is about the last call for the season. Many of my readers who live along the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific Coasts have asked what size hooks to use for various kinds of inshore bottom feeding fish. This is an important part of seacoast fishing, along with the proper test line and suitable rod and red. Details on these problems are given in Old Hi’s booklets called “Salt Water Sports Fishing” and “Pacific Coastal Fishing,” and you may nave free copies upon request. This information will enable you to make the right selections of tackle; and thereby have much better success for the time and efforts you put into angfing for the game and pan fish of the sea. If you own a farm and have or build, a pond, you can stock it with black bass, northern pike, pickerel, or other warm-water fish such as bluegills, sunfish, yellow perch, and bullheads. If the average temperature of the water is cold enough, however, and other conditions are suitable, you can stock the pond with brown and rainbow trout. An ample supply of minnows will be required. These farm ponds are affording a great deal of additional angling sport all over the country for bait ana fly casters and spin fishermen.
