"a COW in calving shrinks herself

calf, the placenta, and the water ex-
PEELED. Following this loss at calving
time, finds a slight fill-up or return
in weight for the next three days of

dairyman guards against 1t by proper
methods, he finds still further shrink
-of 70 to as high as 80 pounds through
the next three months.
Special Feed Required
ain the past dairymen have been in
clined to think Of holding up on the
feed Immediately following freshen-
ing because they didn't feel that the
cows digestive tract should be over
taxed. But science now makes 1t pos
sible to start feeding Immediately
after freshening. Years of expert
menting at the Purina Research Farm
have resulted in the development of
special feed that Is light. easy to d.
gest, cooling in its nature, laxative and
building in tissue and bone. With this
new feed for the COW two months be
fore freshening and one month after
fresbening, the dairyman need not be
afraid of overtaxlng the COW, because
it has been developed especially to fit
the cows digestive and body condi
ton during those periods"
In explaining the result. Van Pell
says. Everything that the cow lost
isn't gained but a refill takes place
that guards against any drastic shrink
that carries with it so much Of the
cows vitality. The results show in
stronger herd. greater foundation. and
over a years time stepped-up milk
production. There are fewer replace

sILo GAS ACCIDENTS PREVENT
ABLE AGRICULTURAL EN-.
GINEER POINTS OUT

With silo filling time at hand and
the recent accident, in which lives
were lost, farmers in particular, and
residents of the rural section of the
state in general, are warned to be
careful in working in or around the
silo, especially Immediately after it
has been filed, ACCORDING to Ray w.
Carpenter, Specialist in Agricultural
Engineering for the University of
Maryland Extension Service.
The danger is due to large quanti-
ties of carbon dioxide gas which are
generated during the fermentation
that always takes place when corn
ensilage is placed in the silo. This
fermentation, which begins immedi-
ately after the ensilage is put in the
silo, may continue for several days.
The excess amount of carbon dioxide,
always heavier than air, may lower
the oxygen content of the air near
the silage to such a point that per-
sons entering the silo will be suffo-
Gated. IL .aA
The air in above-ground silos may
be- regulated by keeping one of the
many doors open near the surface OF
the silage. Care should also be TAX
en- to open the doors as near the sill
age level as possible after it has had
time to settle.
Presence of dangerous gases may
be detected easily by lowering q
small animal or fowl into the silo be-
fore anyone enters, it is pointed out
by Mr.. Carpenter. If the atmos-
phere is dangerous, the animal or
fowl will be effected but may be re-
vived when brought back into fresh
air. No attempt should be made to
enter the silo until the gases have
been removed by agitating the air or
by using proper ventilation. This
can be done by using blanket,
piece of canvas, limb of tree, or
similar devices to circulate the air
and remove the carbon dioxide.
No one should enter the silo while
fermentation is in progress unless
others are present to render neces-
sary aid in case of an accident. II
it is necessary to rescue a person
overcome by gas in a silo, rope
should be tied to the person entering
so that he can be removed promptly.
In cases of suffocation from silo
gases the person should be removed
as quickly as possible and artificial
respiration given Immediately. The
prone pressure method for respira-
ton is recommended by the U. s.
Public, Health Service. In this
method the victim is placed face
downward with his nose and mouth
to the air ty turning head to one
side. The bad air is forced out Of
the lungs by the operator alternately
applying and releasing pressure ON
the back above the level of the low
er rib.

1t is pointed out by Mr.. Jenkins
that in addition to giving the IS
boys, successful in the past six con-
tests, start on college careers, par
ticipation by hundreds of others has
helped them to master problems Of
livestock production and to establish
valuable herds of their own. Their
examples also have led to the adop-
tion of better practices in livestock
farming by communities.

was no such thing
as a psychic in
auction, although
we did have what
were known as
shift bids" A
simple example Of
the shift bid at
auction is the fol-
lowing:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-01-26


no-trump. In the days of auction an
opening suit bid was likely to be passed
by partnc.. snd therefore all players
considered it sound Cu vpen no-trurnp
with a worthless doubleton, and many
would do so with a worthless singleton.
Vests strategy is to overcall with
two diamonds, his singleton suit.
North, with good hand and two dia-
mond shoppers, decides that diamonds
is his partners unprotected suit and
probably bids two no trump. OF
course, if he doubles, the shift bid is
Immediately exposed. and West is
forced to run to his real suit.
If North bids two no trump, East
and South, of course, pass. and now
West probably passes. However, if
he is sure that his opponents have
misunderstood the shift bid, he will
double. North might even redouble.
whereupon West runs his seven heart
tricks, while North and South gnash
their teeth.
The shift bid was, of course, imme-
diately carried over to contract, with
many variations. One of these was
the bluff no trump.
THE PSYCHIC BID
overcall. For instance, holding a
hand such as:
AK
vx
Xxx
&A-Q-J-l0-x-x-X-x
West would make a vulnerable
one no trump overcall over South's
opening suit bid of one, in order to
discourage the opponents. OF course,
should they smoke out the shift bid
(by means of a double), West could
run to his club suit with safety.
This bid was too obvious and could
not be expected to work more often
than once in blue moon against any
but the weakest opponents.
The next step along these lines was
the nuisance jump overcall. Having
the same club hand shown above, West
would overcall the opening suit bid
with jump to four clubs, which would
convey the information that his hand
was practically worthless. except for
clubs. However, since his partner S
high-card strength and distribution
would not be revealed, this shutout
bid would force the opponents to guess
at the correct final contract, whereas
should West merely overcall with two
clubs, the opponents would have clear
sailing.
This bid is still used by practically
all leading players. While it is no,
really a psychic, it is just what we
called it before, a nuisance bid, and
very effective one.
The next psychic that came up was
the bluff third-hand opening bid
When players first experimental with
1t. they would not only open without
high-card strength, but were inclined
to choose the suit in which they were
shortest. For instance. holding some
such hand as the following:
AK
vX-x-x-x
<Q-x-x-x-x
J-X-x
the psychic bidder of 1881 would be
inclined to open with one spade. The
idea, of course. was that this player
was not only sure that his opponents
had game, but also that their game
was in spades. Such bids we're con.
fusing to the opponents, but ever
more so to partner, and would fire.

and open the bidding with one spade;
second hand passes; your partner
raises you to two spades: fourth hand
passes; and at this point you decide
that you wish to play six. Feeling GER
tain that you will make it, provided
that a diamond is not opened, you
simply bid three diamonds-a bid
which your partner will not pass.
Your next bid, of course, is six spades.
A heart or club is opened and you
make your contract. OF course, the
best laid plans sometimes go wrong.
Perhaps the man on lead holds the
ace-king of diamonds and opens the
suit anyway.
There have been no new psychic
ideas for some time unless we count
hypothetical hand that a certain
New York expert has been trying to
get for several years. His idea is to
open a two bid in third position with
a hand which is not quite of two-bid
strength. Then If his partner re-
spends with two no trump. he intends
to pass. The player sitting over him
is supposed to suspect psychic and
reopen irrespective of what he holds,
whereupon our hero expects to double
and pick up juicy penalty. We are
rather afraid of that bid ourselves,
but would like to be present when and
II it Is made for the first time.
