Method In This Madness
One thing is for certain about
the new 1856 cars they sure do
glitter.
They're a far cry from the gas
buggies that grandpa used to drool
over, in which the dazzle was
pretty well restricted to the brass
radiator she'll and the door handles
unless a customer wanted to go
all out and buy a windshield too!
But, if the present-day bright
work were all for looks, we sus-
pect there would be a lot less of
it. Take those long horizontal
strips, for instance. They are as
/ functional and necessary on today's
cars as the stout rub-strakes on
tugboats-and yachts. In the close
quarters Of today's garages and
parking lots, door panels would
be scratched and dented eyesores
in no time if it weren't for those
guard strips on the next car. And
when you or a parking jockey
drives a Ieetle too close to a post
or a brick wall, it's the side trim
that stands between you and a
new paint-job.
/ This rugged duty is one Of the
principal reasons most manufac-
turers use stainless steel for the
brightwork. Increasing use of salt
and other chemicals to make icy
winter highways is another one
of the reasons for stainless steel
trim throughout, since it won't
blister, pit, peel, corrode or oxi-
die. And if it sustains a scratch
when cars slide together on icy
pavement, there's nothing under
the surface but more bright stain

SCHOOLS FOR FUN

AS the nation prepares to launch the
largest school building program in its his
tory, the experience of Chicago should be
kept in mind. Some schools there do not
close at the end of the school day but serve
in the late afternoon and evening as social
and recreation centers.
Under the Chicago plan, young children
use the schools for recreation from 8 80 to
$50 p. m. Older pupils and adults use
school facilities during evening hours. Pro
grams are stated by teachers supplementing
their salaries and by parents who volunteer
to supervise, chaperon and serve refresh
ments.
These 65 schools which stay open are in
areas lacking public and private recreatiOnal
facilities and are in those sections with ris-
ing juvenile delinquency. But parents and
school authorities know that the children
having fun in schools are not IN the streets
nor in questionable hangouts.
New schools can be designed for this
program. Appropriate recreational facili-
ties are kept in one section of the building
with separate heating and lighting units Sc
that the whole school need not be heated and
lighted at one time.
Although the Chicago plan is not unique
it is a plan which could be adapted more
widely, especially now that constructive use

Veterinary
Don't Waste Feed
On Heifer Twin
By STUART YOUNG

by 81 OAhI L JUNO
Q-I HAVE A 3-year-OId HOlstein
cow that had twin calves-a bull
and heifer. Will the heifer calf
be able to reproduce? / don't have
the feed to keep her two years, just
to find Out.-M. W., Prairie County.
A-The chances are that you would
be wasting feed on this heifer. The
situation with regard to heifer calves
born twin to bull calves is briefly this:
Should the fetal membranes of twin
calves of opposite sexes become fused
in such a way as to establish more
or less common circulatory system,
the development of the reproductive
organs of the female fetuS is arrested.
This is brought about because the male
sex hormone from the male fetus inter-
feres with normal development of the
females genital system. Since the
fetal membranes in the bovine are
very large, even in single birth, those
of twins are almost certain to be in
close contact and to become fused to-
gether. Thus, heifer calves born twin
with bulls are very likely to be sterile.
Such heifers are called "free-martins.
This condition in the heifer may be
confirmed by rectal or vaginal ex-
animation by your veterinarian at one
year old or a little earlier This exami-
nation will reveal an abnormal uterus
and blind vagina In such heifer
calves, heat periods do not occur and
varying degrees of masculine behavior
may be displayed when other animals
are in heat.
Q-Can anything be done to save
steer from blOat if it is not no.
ticed until it is already down.
J. c., Valley County.
A = Yes, think many ''downed'
cases of bloat can be saved though, of
course, the chances for successful
treatment are greater if the animal is
still up. Be careful with any drenches
you give by mouth to down ami.
NAL, since these can more readily GO
down the windpipe. Your veterinarian
has bloat drugs now that can be given
directly by injection into the paunch
itself. Certainly if you feel the Situa
ton is critical, it is always worth
Sticking bad bloat case.
The "stuck" cases can often be
saved in this way: Make sure the hole
you make is large enough to allow &
free escape of the gas or froth and have
your veterinarian dress and treat the
wound you make when recovery has
taken place.
Q-Can infra-red or the red heat
lamp have any bad effects on little

M. S., Cascade County.
Al do not think that the infra-red
lamp has been responsible for the stunt
ed condition of your pigs. These lamps
are usually quite safe to use provided
the instructions are followed correctly.
Occasionally little pigs kept too close
to lamp suffer burn that chiefly
affects the ears and may result in a
running sore that is quite difficult to
get healed. But these burns become
evident at the time the lamp is in use.
l know of no i'll effects that may APP

GIVE lost lot of lambs from
Overeating disease last year when
they were just week or two old.
We have never vaccinated for this
trouble but want to start now. What
is the best methOd?-B. W., Beaver
head County.
A-When losses from overeating dis
ease are occurring in very young
lambs, the best means of protection is
to vaccinate the ewes so that they will
pass on protection to the lambs in the
cOlostrum. Ewes should be vaccinated
about one month before Landing. Since
this is the first year you will be do
ing this it would be as well to vac
cinate the ewes twice between Christ
mas and lambing time, allowing a
month between vaccinations and a
iloiCH pSCWCSA CllS SSSOHu SllOI dilu
Landing. In subsequent years only one
vaccination will be needed, about one
month before lambing. This method
will give good protection to lambs
against overeating disease for the first
six weeks of life but not longer. Il
past experience has shown that deaths
from this disease occur in the lambs
at older ages as well, then the lambs
themselves may need to be vaccinateC
after they have reached two weeks o.
age.
