| Don't Introduce
j Strange Cow Wheni
Milk Is High
A time when milk prices are sea
sonally high and every pound of
milk and butterfat counts is a poor
time to introduce a new cow into
the dairy herd.
This odd but important bit of in
formation for dairy farmers arises
from animal behavior studies at
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture's Dairy Field Station in Jean
eretta. La. Any sudden change In
herd makeup may be- responsible
for a temporary drop of as much
as five per cent in milk and but
terfat production, it was shown by
the studies.
Such changes, it seems, create
excitement in the herd, marked by
butting, kicking, and threatening.
Only when the "intruder" is finally
accepted is peace restored. This
may take many days when a total
ly strange cow is added to an es

Dead Tree Can 1
Seem Healthy
Recently two logger* in the Tu?- 1
juittee mountains approached a
5iant yellow poplar tree.
It was tall-bodied, large and
without a limb for almost 80 feet
up its trunk. It had the appearance
of a prized veneer-log tree.
Then the loggers' power saw
went to work on the undercut. As
the saw teeth bit deeper, the clean
light-colored shavings changed to
lark brown, punky-looking streaks. t
The fears of the loggers were im- {
mediately aroused. Soon the worst j
was confirmed, for when the tree j
crashed to the ground, the loggers (
Found not sound solid wood, but a |
rotted hollow shell of a tree. ,
Here was a tree at whose heart i
fungus disease had been goughing,
undected, for decades !
The tree, if sound, would have
brought $75 at the stump. It '
brought nothing. The time used by
the loggers in cutting the tree
down was wasted. The space the
huge monarch of the forest occup
ied in the woods for many decades
was denied to other trees, so this
too was wasted. It was a total
loss. ,i
Millions of trees, large and
small, are silently but certainly
killed, maimed, weakened, and
scarred each year in the forests of
America.
Forest economists estimate that
the timber lost to forest diseases
and insects in the United States
each year amount to 6,000,000,000
board feet, or enough lumber to
build 600,000 new American homes.
For almost the entire SO years of
its existence the Forest Service
has been fighting insects and dis
ease on national forests.

Mo Poultry Parasites
Are Beneficial
No poultry parasites are good for
alrds. They cause stunted growth,
emaciations and loss of vitality in
growing birds and may reduce pro
duction in layers, says Dr. R. S.
Dearstyne of the State College
poultry science department.
But few flocks in the state are
free from some degree of infesta
tion. Autopsy findings of the State
College poultry science depart
ment show that out of 2,018 birds
inder 11 weeks of age, 3 1/10 per
:ent showed external or internal
MLrasites or both. Of <00 birds from
11 weeks to six months of age, 14
i/10 per cent revealed parasite in
festation. while of 1,200 adult birds
12% per cent showed this condi
tion.
If the infestation of parasites is
severe, the worms retard the pas
sage and utilization of food and in
crease susceptibility to disease.
Birds with a severe infestation of
reund worms, for instance, show
a loss in appetite, drooping wings,
ruffled feathers, general weakness,
and often the birds show a diarr
hea. In slight infestations, these
symptons do not always appear
and postmortem examination is the
only sure method of confirming if
birds have internal parasites.
As" is the case of most disease
troubles, the internal parasites
problem in chickens should be ap
proached on the basis of preven
tion, Dearstyne emphasizes. This
means clean ranges that have been
rested between groups of birds
using them; elimination of wet,
shady areas on the range; separat
ing young birds from old birds;
avoiding wet Utter.
Miss Johnson who is a rising
senior at Wheaton College present
ed a program of psalms, hymns
and spiritual songs featuring the
Intermediate and Junior choirs
and brought the Message at the
evening service.
