away. Prices now being paid for
scrap are higher than those of
World War II.
Fall is a good time to check all
machinery and equipment to figure
out what repairs are needed, and
what items need to be scrapped
and replaced. The search for farm
scrap is thus part of getting farm
production tools ready for, another
season.
Keeping scrap picked up and out
of the way makes the farm a more
efficient place to work. Safety is
another reason for cleaning out
scrap, especially small pieces which
can hurt workers, as well as live
stock.
Cooperating with the current
farm scrap drive has one further
benefit. Sufficient scrap supplies
at steel mills helps guarantee more
production of new steel, which in
turn helps production of new farm
machinery and equipment.

Give Dry Cows a Good
Rest, Reminds Dairyman

The dairy cow is a highly COM
plicated piece of machinery, and
unless she gets good rest between
milking periods she can't produce
strong healthy calf, nor her full
quota of milk.
During the rest period, the dairy
COW has three important jobs, says
Delmar Young, extension dairyman
at the University of Delaware. She
must recover from a heavy pro-
ducing period, build up calf, and
store reserves for the next lacta-
tion period. How well she does
these jobs depends on the length
of rest period, how well she is fed,
and her care during the dry period.
She needs from six to eight weeks
rest, and a good ration.
The problem of feeding the dry
COW is practically solved if she has
access to good pasture. If not,

Ten Commandments of
Shooting Safety

It's hunting season, and with it
come many accidents that come
from carelessness or inexperience.
The Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service lists ten command
ments for safety when handling
guns.
1. Treat every gun with the re-
spect due an explosive charge. This
is the cardinal rule of gun safety.
2. Carry only empty guns, taken
down or with the action open, in
the car, camp, or home.
8. Always be sure that the barrel
and action are clear of obstruc-
tions.
4. Always carry your gun so that
you can control the direction of the
Smyrna times., 1951-11-01

muzzle in a hurry, even If you
stumble. Keep the safety on until
you're ready to shoot.
5. Be sure of your target be-
fore you pull the trigger. Be sure
it's rabbit, not some other hunt
er's dog, or a farm animal, for in
stance.
6. Never point a gun, in fun, at
anything you do not want to shoot.
z. Never leave your gun unat-
tended unless you unload it first.
8. Never climb a tree or fence
with a loaded gun in hand.
9. Never shoot at a fiat, hard
surface or the surface of water.
Bullets can ricochet and hit other
objects, perhaps your hunting COM
panion.
10. Never mix gunpowder and
alcohol.
Smyrna times., 1951-11-01

hay and silage should be fed iber-
ally, says Young. Generally, the
same grain mixture can be fed to
the dry cows as to the milking
cows. but the actual ration for a
dry COW depends on her condition.
Young says, EVERY dollar put
into a good, dry cow ration is a
smart investment. A dairy cow,
well fed and cared for during the
dry period, will often produce 25
per cent more milk during her next
lactation. And it's milk in the
bucket that counts in the dairy
business.
