Ultra-Sonic Waves

The discovery Of sound waves
which produce such intense heat
that they are lethal to mice and
small insects has been announced
by the Army. In tests, white mice
died one minute after exposure to
the ultra-sonic waves, which are
of such, high pitch that they are
inaudible to human ears. Other ex-
reriments were performed on the
common roach, fire brats, yellow
fever mosquitoes, blow flies, field
worms and caterpillars, and in
each case death resulted from the
waves radiation.

@. Which animals should the goat
raiser Gull?
A., The following should be culled
out and slaughtered-never sold for
breeding purposes.
/. All buck kids except those from
registered, high producing an
cestry.
2. Understood doe kids. Gull out
the poorest ones and save their
feed to do better job on the
rest.
8. Old, Improbable does who have
passed their prime.
4. Milking or dry does with one or
both halves Of the udder UNI
sound.
@. How much feed does 1t take to
produce lb, broiIer, and at what
age should it reach this weight?
A. BY feeding good broiler ration
such as Purina Broiler Chow and
following a program which includes
good breeding, sound management,
and careful sanitation, a 3 ID. broiler
can be produced on 10 lbs. of feed
in II weeks. A program like this can
result in saving of u to ID, Of
feed per pound of broiler meat, thus
aiding in the national grain saving
program.
@. Should coal slack be fed to
hogs?
A. We do not know of anything
that proves that feeding coal slack
to hogs is either beneficial or detri-
mental. 1t is better to have minerals
supplied to hogs through d good
protein concentrate added to your
grains.
@. Does fish meal in the laying
mash cause eggs to have fishy
flavor?
A. No. At the Massachusetts Elk
pertinent Station years ago it was
found that a fishy flavor was not
caused by the use of even as much
as is to 2O85 fish meal, which is
many times the amount used in
commercial laying mashes today.
Eggs can be tainted by feeding the
birds fresh fish, but in most cases
eggs with a fishy flavor are due to
an ovarian disease. To overcome 1t,
trapnest the birds, find out which
are producing eggs with a fishy
flavor and remove them from the
flock

Panama Canal

Conversion of the Panama Canal
into sea-level waterway at cost
of $2,4s2, 100000 has been recon-
mcnded to Congress as a means of
meeting the threat of atomic bomb
attacks. Governor j. C. Mehaffey,
of the Canal Zone, says a sea-level
canal would be much less vulner-
able to atomic attacks than the
present waterway, with its system
