Hints From The County Extension Chairman By - JERRY PURSER m Beef Cattle - Maine-Anjou The dark red and white Maine-Anjou breed is the result of continued crossings since about 1830 between the Dur ham breed from England, and the rugged Mancelle cow native to Western France. The Man oelle cow contributed its hardi ness, vigor and its ability to keep producing when available pasture was low. The Durham breed also accompanied the early settlers to the United States from the old country. It pulkd the wagon, gave milk for the settlers’ families, produced a calf each year, and was later slaughtered to feed the families it had pulled those long miles. Quite a glorious heritage for this great new breed. The Maine-Anjou was used in France to produce both meat and milk for the poor tenant farmers during the 19th cen tury. However, they gained favor over other native breeds When you think of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S, adv.

For years Maine-Anjou were selected for milk and meat pro duction. No bull is used whose paternal dam and grand dam have not exceeded 6,500 lbs. of milk per lactation. Maine Anjou cows have the needed milk to feed the fast growing calves, ahd cows that do not produce a calf each year are slaughtered. Although the Maine-Anjou are docile and easily managed.

Ill I.. -I. —m BY BOB BROWN 1-16 Copr.72 <W1 FMftnt Cat, lUfrUS.Pw.Oft PROBLEM: Acrobatic rice puffs. k NEEDED: Window glass, a silk cloth, puffed rice, some books and a dry day when the humidity is low. DO THIS: Place books under the edges of the glass so it rests about 3/4 inch above the table. Spread puffed rice under the glass. Rub the glass briskly with the cloth, and the rice will jump about. Draw a finger along on the glass, and some of the rice puffs will tumble about under the finger. HERE’S W'HY: The cloth rubs away some of the surface electrons from the glass, leaving it with a positive charge of electricity. Electrons in the puffed rice will be attracted by the positive charge on the glassy and some electrons will move, in the rice, to the upper surface closer to the glass. The attraction then between the posi tive glass and the negative rice puffs will be sufficient to make them move about, and jump to the glass. The mov ing finger will rearrange some of the charge on the glass.
