RIEGG Veterinarian The young of a mammal, any animal which suckles its young, is always encased within membranes when still being carried by its WW J. m Davis - Smith i Jewelers Sim-p ISGji Phone 514 30 Main Street j mother. Tntn this" category are included rtractieally all animals found on a farm with the excep tion of chickens and related spe cies. Included are horses, cattle, ; sheep, goats, hogs, dogs, cats and ! most all the wild animals found I in the mountains otiQur county. ! Animals which normally give I birth to more than one young at a time such as hogs, dogs and cats, i have a separate membrane encas I ing each younn animal and if a mare, cow, shep, or goat gives I birth to more than one young, each j small animal is encased in its indi- vidua! membrane. It is the cow with which we are the most concerned since she some limes has difficulty in shedding this membrane The other farm animals pass (his membrane, or afterbirth as it is commonly called, almost immediately when the young is born. In fact, the animal which gives hii'h to a litter must pass off the afterbirth of the indi vidual young before the noxt one can be born. A cow, on the other hand, will many times retain her afterbirth for d.iys after she has delivered her calf. Usually part of this afterbirth will loosen itself from the wall of the uturus to which it is attached and hang from the cow. This may hang there for 24 to 48 hours during which time it becomes dri ; and takes on a dirty appearance It is at this time thai the farmer takes a .stick or a broom-handle and twists this loose end of the afterbirth around il and pulls, booing to be able to loosen the part of the afterbirth Mill encased within the uterus. .Nine times out of ten this proce dure should hover be done. Possi bly the retained part of the after birth will become loosened and come out intact but in practical Iv ill cases of mecVinical traction the afterbirth will tear and part will draw back into the uterus to begin its damage. This subseouent Ham. ige is done because the farmer believes the whole afterbirth has come out and thinks no more about il. There are two advantages it leaving Ihe aft-?i birth hatig if it has not loosened itself entirely. First, the weight of the portion of Ihe afterbirth hanging on the out side will tend to exert steady trac tion on the part slil! held fast with- n Ihe uterus and sVcond, the cervix or entrance to the uterus will lend to stn open if the irri tating afteibirt'i is continued on through it to th? uterus. With part of the afterbirth broken off ;mH pulled back in!o the uterus the cervix will close with no chance of the afterbirth escaping from the uterus. The afterbirth of a cow is held to the wall of the uterus by more than a hundred small round ob jects called cotyledons or buttons or "moon calves." If the aftprhirth is retained it is the problem of a veterinarian to loosen these cotv- ledons one by one being careful not to cause any hemorrhage which is an inevitable factor if the after birth is pulled from the outside. The damage which can be incur d by allowing part of the after birth to draw b; ck into the uterus WITNESSES At BILBO PROBE Radar Helps Avert Collision Of Ships NEW YORK Two steamships were saved from head-on collision during a blinding snowstorm on Lake Superior recently when an alert officer aboard a third ship perceived their danger on his radar indication and warned them by radio to change their course.

(International) Only 51,000 Vets Use Up 52-20 Rights .4' X c trsfett t ti rtx WASHINGTON' Only 51,000 veterans of World War II have drawn their full ouota of Ihe $20 a week readjustment allowance pro vided under tin Gl Bill of Rights. Under the la .v, veterans who served ten or more months pay draw the allowance for the maxi mum 52 wee'is Veterans who served less thn ten months hut more than 90 duys may draw the allowance (-onu 'imes called unem- is the following the cervix or en trance to the uterus will draw shut, the remainder of the afterbirth will begin to rot within the uterus, the cow will become thin, drop in her milk flow and possibly go off employed ployment pay) a proportionately shorter length of time. The 51,009 whr have already ex hausted their R. A. benefits are only about four-tenths of one per cent of the more than 14.000.000 Wo;-ld War II veterans, almost all of whom are eligible. Of those who actually began drawing allowances soon enough to have exhausted I hem they are 2.2 per cent. More May Follow Actually few of the 14,000,000 could have exhausted their right to the allowance. The demobiliza tion program ws just getting un-' der way a year ago and didn't reach its neak until mid-winter. Other veterans may -now be well on the way toward using up their benefits. To date the readjustment allow ance program has cost taxpayers! 1" I billion dollv-S Thill's nlmnct half as mu"h as the total cost of Ihe World War 1 veterans' bonus. Last summer w '11 over $100,000, 000 every month was paid to un- veterans. up the works. But the ycord shows that Ten nessee is far behind Porto Rico. More than 40 per cent of Puerto Rican veterans who have been out a year have used up their allow ance. Low wage scales in Puerto Rico are given as one reason. Largest single month's expendi ture in the program occurred in April, when unemployed veterans received $160,071,000. During the first week in November the num ber actually drawing the allowance fell below the million mark.

At any rate when it comes time to breed the cow again it will be seen that she does not conceive. This is because the sperm is killed when it comes in contact with th.-' pus within the uterus. Therefore, let me advise that if part o( the afterbirth hangs from a cow for 36 o 48 hours after calving, call a veterinarian to re move the afterbith manually. If the afterbirth hangs for that length of time it will ot come loose and if it does seem to come loose it is only that sufficient death of the tissues has occurred to have the hanging portion oi the afterbirth break off from 'hat still within the uterus. With thorough separa tion of these cotyledons, none of the undesirable after-effects of non-breeding, drop in milk flow, loss of weight, nr loss of appetite will ensue.
