Built-up Litter
Recommended AS
Sound Practice

POultrymen have found that built
up litter system is a sound manage
ment practice if properly carried out.
Low cost of litter, better insulation,
dricr litter and changing of litter
only once a year are among the adj
vantages listed by DR.. c. S. Shaffner
of the University of Maryland poul-
try department.
The material used must be easily
broken up since the litter is not re-
moved but is added to. Some suitable
materials are straw, wood shavings,
and ground corn cobs. The litter
should be started early in the fall so
that it may be deep before cold
weather sets in. Good house construc-
ton and ventilation are necessary to
insure dry litter
The built-up litter system was de-
veloped during the war when labor
scarcity prevented frequent cleaning
of chicken houses. 1t was found that
the chickens did as well or better if
the litter was left for long periods
of time.
Recent experiments at the Ohio EX-
pertinent Station indicate that NOR
tally is decreased and hatchability is
increased when hens are on deep
litter.

Rabbit Fever Real
Threat To Hunters

GAS the rabbit hunting season APP
proaches, tularemia-often referred
to as rabbit fever-becomes a real
threat" according to a warning just
issued by DR.. r. II. Riley, Director Of
the State Department of Health
"Too many cases of this serious
disease continue to occur in Mary
land each year. With proper pre-
cautions, however, hunters can en-
joy the sport provided by wild rab-
bits in safety and housewives can
prepare the meat for their tables
without endangering their own health
or that of their families.
rabbit fever, or tularemia, is a
communicable disease which can be
transmitted from infected rabbits to
human beings by direct contact with
the animals or by contact with OBJ
jects contaminated by the meat or
fur Careless handling of wild rab-
bit at any point between the woods
and the dining room table may be
dangerous. 1t is far safer to treat
even a healthy rabbit as though it
were diseased and ready to infect
those who handled it with tularemia
"Since a rabbit without the energy
to run for his life is probably sick,
the hunters first precaution should
be to take only the frisky cottontails
that scamper away as he approaches.
This practice provides health protec-
ton in addition to being good sports
manship.
Gwen though all rabbits are not
actually infected with tularemia, the
disease is so serious that it is wise
to handle apparently well rabbits
with extreme care-as though they
were believed to be infected When
touching the animal gloves should be
worn, preferably rubber ones. This
is especially important if there is
even a small cut or scratch on the
hands. AS soon as the meat has been
prepared the gloves should be steri-
liked, refuse and paper burned and
the hands washed carefully with soap
and hot water.
Thorough cooking is the final
safeguard to be observed by those
who would enjoy their rabbit dinners
in safety. The meat should be cooked
at boiling temperature for at least
twenty m in ut e - regardless of

tend to sustain prices of slaughter
cattle. But, after this lag, market
supplies will begin to increase from
the enlarged beef herds. Then,
prices for beef cattle will tend to
decline relative to other farm prod
ucts and to production costs, expan-
sion of herds will be checked and,
eventually, contraction will begin.
Feeding Prospects
So much for the broad trend of
beef cattle production. Prospects for
cattle feeding are a year to year
matter, somewhat independent of
the cattle cycle.
This season is not far enough
along for the influences likely to
affect feeding to have taken final
shape. But, on the whole, opera
tons seem unlikely to be more prof
liable than in the past season. Here
are some of the important consider
atoms:
/. Severe losses last winter and
early spring probably will make
finishers more conservative in filling
feedlots than a year ago when pur-
chases were being made in an at
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

MUCH HAS BEEN written lately
about the beneficial effects of ade-
quate amounts of meat in the diet
of pregnant women. The Importance
of the feeding of meat and meat
extracts to the health and growth
of infants has likewise been stressed
only recently. Not much is known
about the role which proteins play
in the prevention of dental carries,
the commonest disease among civil
lied people.
1t has been observed that the
carries incidence rate is usually very
low among people whose diet is high
in meat and low in carbohydrate
foods. For instance, the Eskimos, be-
fore they came in contact with civil
ization, were remarkly free from
dental decay. Their diet considered
largely of meat.
The inhabitants of the Island of
Lewis, whose diets consist mainly
of liver, eggs, and fish, have little
carries. The diet of the Nasal, a
native tribe in Central Africa, con-
sists solely of meat and blood. The
examination of their teeth revealed
practically no caries.-From Food &
Nutrition News, National Live Stock
and Meat Board.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

a certainty. 1t is still possible to pay
too much for feeders.
With feeder cattle prices remain
ing relatively high, some cornbelt
finishers may consider raising their
own feeders. But a beef COW herd
is best handled as an extensive en-
terprise. In the great plains region,
about 100 cows is considered the
minimum economic unit.
Choices for Finishers
Finishers have several good
choices:
1. Heavy fleshy steers for a short
forced feed to be marketed before
the main run of shortfeds.
2. Younger or less fleshy cattle
and palmer yearlings bought at low
prices for the regular winter feeding
season.
8. Low grades to be given a heavy
roughage and limited grain ration
and made ready for the April-May
market when such cattle sell best.
4. Feeder calves to be wintered
well, grazed for three months or so
next spring and finished for the fall
market. Light, thin yearlings may
be handled much the same way, but
given more roughage and less grain
during the winter.
Planning for maximum use of pas
ture and forage crops is the open
road to cheap feed and low labor
costs in finishing cattle. Feeding
cattle on pasture avoids handling
hay, bedding and manure By using
catch crops, producers in northern
sections of the United States can
have good pasture 200 days of the
year; in the south, much longer.
Well-drained feedlots or a cement
floor, good bedding, unlimited
roughage and ample protein supple
ment are some of the aids to fast
gains, low cost of gains and a profit
able outcome on cattle in dry lot.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

cattle feeders to hesitate until the
question is settled.
Range Conditions
S. Offerings of feeder cattle will
depend partly on conditions on the
range. On the whole, they are good,
although parts of the Dakotas, Mon
tana and the Pacific coast states are
dry. Usage and Bluestein cattle r
in very good flesh. Due to the Sc
we're winter, the western calf crop
may be slightly under last year. Fa-
vorable price ratios probably will
cause holding of some cattle to ex-
pand range herds where feed sup
plies are ample.

mosphere of profits of $25 to SIS or
more a head. Numbers reported on
feed on Jan. l last, at 4,548,000 head,
were 10 percent over last year and
larger than ever before.
2. Widespread factory laYoffs. talk
of lower demand and reports indi-
eating larger supplies of pork and
poultry next winter will add to feed
ers' caution.
3. The increase of about Is per-
cent in the hog crop, probably some
reduction in the corn crop, and i'm
pounding of much of the corn carry
over under loans may reduce the
quantity of feed pressing for other
uses, although the total feed supply
will be larger than last year if pres
ent crop forecasts are fulfilled. 1t
will be- ample to feed as many cattle
as last year, however, should pro-
ducers decide to use it that way.
Cattle finishers normally use only
about 200, 000, 900 bushels of corn.
A.. Possibility of a test of the Bran
nan income support plan on hogs,
which should allow hogs and pork
prices to go wherever supply and de-
mand dictate and which might de-
press beef prices, may cause some
