to tag and brand his reactors. What is the status of his herd? Answer As in the previous .‘ituation he has failed to render i easonable assistance. According

j^ihI & Poultry Disease Code of Indiana, any person who violates :• valid rule of the board shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined a first offense sum not to ( xceed $500.00. The herd may be quarantined as provided in Sect. IV Regulation Xo. 27 Indiana State Liverlock Sanitary Board. If he sells the reactors direct to slaughter without first tagging and branding them that is a violation of Regulation Xo. .'14. Question My last test was positive. Why was it none of my < attle reacted to the blood test? Answer The ring test is very sensitive and subject to indicatir.g false positives in about one U.st out of 20. False positives have been attributed to: 1. Mastitis 2. ColoKeral milk 3. A transient infect on such as shipping fever that i* caused by an organism closely related to the Brucella Organism. Question Can I be charged by Ihe veterinarian testing my herd for the use of his chute? Answer Xo, the entire cost of the test is born by the Government, State and County. Please report any additional assessment to the area veterinarian. Question-—Is it possibe a veterirarian coming from an infected herd to my place bring me Brucellosis ? Answer Yes, if proper sanitary precautions are not taken. A veterinarian arriving on your farm should be wearing floan boots or rubbers. Before he leaves he should clean and disinfect his equipment and boots. This includes a portable cattle chute if it’s used on the farm. Question How long will it take to compete testing the county? Answer Time depends upon the number veterinarians available to do the work and how much time each devote to testing. /uk.c Work will continue until all herds have been tested and those in which infection is found retested at 15-30 day intervals until they have had two clean tests. Question WjH cattle be al1 wed to enter the county with- < ut a negative test once the area is declared Bang free? Answer Once the process of certification has begun cattle entering the county must be accompanied by an official health certificate and lecord of a negative brucellosis test conducted within 30 days of entry. Furthermore, the above cattle must be isolated and retested in 30 to 60 days. The following cattle may be hnported without test: 1. Calves under 6 months of age 2. Steers and spayed heifers 3. Official vaccinates under 24 months of age accompanied with official vaccination certificate 4 Cattle from certified Brucel-1'csis-free herds 5. Cattle originating directly from negative herds in certified areas if accompanied by an official health certificate including a record of a complete herd t< st conducted within the preceding 12 months (cattle passing thru a sale barn must be isolated on the premises and retest-

_ase is insidious, difficult to diagnose, does not respond well to treatment and may require several years to cure. Question How do people con- • ract Brucellosis? Answer — Housewives and butchers contract the disease fiom handling raw meat from infected animals. Farmers and veterinarians contract it when they handle newborn calves and pigs or relove retained placentas.

Squash Replaces Pumpkin In Pie That piece of pumpkin pie you ate last week might not have been pumpkin at all! W. B. Ward, extension garden specialist at Purdue University, says that indiscriminate use of the words “pumpkin" and “squash” has cleared confusion among gardeners and consumer.®. Oftentimes the so-called “largest pumpkins” exhibited at fairs and shows are really squashes, while many use pumpkins for squash. Even when they arc not known by their variety names there is an easy way to tell hese two related fruits apart. A true squash has a rounded stem and a protruding blossom end. A pumpkin may have a round stem or a portruding blossom end, but never has both of these characteristics. The Hubbard, buttercup, Delicious, Banana, Mammoth, Chili, and few others less common are true squashes. The Table Queen or Acorn Butternut, Cushav, Cocozell., Zucchini, and Yellow Straight oi Crook N T eck are pumpkins, even though they arc often used as squash. The Cheese and Connecticut Field are used for livestock feed and by canners for commercial purposes. For the best pies. Ward doesn’t recommend pumpkin—he says ihat the best pie filling is made irom the Buttercup or the Delicious squash.

^olf-appolnted ai biter of the g: me Mr. Judge never plays but he is a constant kibitzer. He seems happy when an infraction of the rules occurs. At these times he is right in there yelling with the best of them. You’d think he was in the game and had- just suffered a thousandpoint set. He pulls his chair closer to the table and briskly whips out his copy of the bridge laws, which he always carries. If you Avant a copy of this, its title is "The Laws of Contract Bridge” and you can get it at your book store or from the publisher. The John C. Wmston Company of Philadelphia. My mail indicates a lively interest in this matter of laws and especially in the penalties involved in leads out of turn, bids out of turn and other infractions. Mr. Judge's rulings in this and following columns will I hope, patch up many a broken friendship. In today’s deal Mr. Muzzy made an insufficient bid. Over Mr. Abel’s two spade bid he called two diamonds. The other players looked for Mr. Judge. He was r»ght there. In fact he already bad his book out and was happily thumbing through it. , The ruling was as follows: If Mr. Muzzy changed his bid to three diamonds (the lowest sufficient bid in the same denomination) there was no penalty. If he mfPde any other sufficient bid his partner would have to pass at his next turn. If he chose to change his call to a pass, Mr. Champion would be barred from any further bidding and the declarer could require or forbid the lead of a specified suit. As you might know, Mr. Muzzy decided to change his call to a pass, thereby saddling his side with the most damaging of the penalties listed. Having the advantage of controlling the opening lead. Mr. Dale now bid four spades. After everybody passed, he asked Mr. Champion to lead a club. Mr. Champion did, practically bashing in the top of the table. Thus Mr. Dale was able to win the first trick, extract trumps and discard one of dummy’s losing diamonds on the third round of clubs. He lost only the ace and- king of hearts and a diamond trick.

One of the sure signs ol spring is the return of the Robins. Another sign that is just as sure is when Frank Jarrell takes his axe on his shoulder and heads for the woods. Frank is quite a woodsman, and really enjoys the hard work that goes with wood chopping. But Frank, what we don't understand, is when did you find out that it was easier to sit down and chop a tree than to stand in the conventional manner?. . .
