Veterinary
Anennia Can Kill
By STUART YOUNG, D.V.M.

WHAT is ANEMIA? We often hear
people say, "Of course, Joe is an
anemic type" or "Jake's wife has poor
blood" or "The vet said these lambs
were thin blooded on account OF
worms"
Animals, just like humans, can sui
fer from anemia. 1t is not disease in
itself, but is the result of number
of quite common diseases. 1t is often
the cause of the most troublesome eff
fects of these diseases, and even pro-
duces the animals death in many in
stances.
In good healthy blood red blood cells
carry a pigment called hemoglobin
This substance is vital to life because
it is responsible for carrying lifegiving
oxygen from the lungs to all the cells
and tissues of the body. The number
of red blood cells in the blood is kept
at a pretty constant number in the
healthy animal. Also each red blood
cell normally carries the full load of
hemoglobin.
Two Types
Anemia is the term applied to either
of two upSets in this normal, healthy
state of things 1t means either that
there are too few red blood cells in the
circulating blood, or that each blood
cell is carrying too little hemoglobin.
In either case the result is the same.
Too little oxygen is being carried by
the Blood cells and tissues of the body
suffer from the lack of oxygen, func-
ton improperly and may even die.
The commonest cause of anemia in
animals is the loss of whole blood. This,
of course. follows any extensive wound
but also results from heavy infestations
of blood sucking stomach worms in
lambs and calves. Small losses of blood
can be quickly made good by the body,
but dangerous anemia can occur if
the loss is too great:
Nutritional deficiencies can affect the
body's ability to make hemoglobin and
this happens in the iron deficiency that
often affects young pigs. A shortage Of
Vitamin B can do the same thing.
Some diseases affect the bone-mar.
row, where the red blood cells are
made. and upset normal health enough
to reduce the output of normal red cells
or cause the production of unhealthy
abnormal cells. This can happen il
some cancers of animals, but is quit,
commonly seen in lead poisoning.
Infectious Disease
One of the important causes of ane
mia in animals is infectious disease
Some infectious agents, localized in on
. part of the body, produce a poison tina

4 other parts. While these poiSons are i

cells may die because of contact wit
& the poison. This sort CT thing happen

B hemoglobin from the ruptured red cell
is released in the urine.
Other infectious agents damage re
blood cells by actually invading thei

81 is such condition in cattle in Montan;
just as malaria is such a condition

Injuries Reduce
Carcass Value

IF COWS WE'RE considered an end
product instead of a by-prOduct when
marketed for meat, they would yield
carcasses worth millions more dollars
per year.
Compared to COWS. fat steers and
heifers receive kid glove treatment on
the way to slaughter. Quality and
value in fat cattle is respected by
Stockmen who handle them accordingly.
Cows are considered low value cast
offs from the dairy or beef business and
are crowded, rushed, bumped and
abused from the time they leave the
farm or ranch until they reach the
packing house killing floor.
This rough and careless handling
plus the cows more angular conforma-
ton results in much higher bruise
rate than on steers and heifers.
Reports received by Livestock Con-
servation, Inc, from two Minnesota
packers recently show that over 80
per cent of low quality utility, cutter
and Gamer cows are bruised when
slaughtered. This compares with IS
to IA per cent on higher quality cows
and to per cent on steers and heif-
ers. The bruise rate on western cows
runs about twice as high as it does on
natives.
Loss per head bruised ranges from
about Sc to $40 on higher quality cows
This represents a tremendous economic
loss to the industry and has definite
bearing on cow prices, according to
Livestock Conservation, Inc.
Since most bruises and other in
juries are directly or indirectly caused
by man, they can be prevented by
man, insists Lei.
Most of this COW bruise loss can be
prevented if all stock handlers will do
nothing more than afford cows the
same treatment given their more valu-
able offspring.

Vaccinate Lambs
For EnterOtOxenlia

MATCHMAKING FEEDER lambs for
enterotoxemia, or overeating disease,
when they are placed in the feedlot,
may prevent heavy death losses, the
Americ Foundation for Animal
Health advises This gives them a
chance to build up an immunity to the
disease before they are brought up to
full feed.
Enterotoxemia is the No. problem
in managing feeder lambs. 1t is usu-
ally fatal and often strikes so quickly
that no symptoms are noticed. It's
cause is the formation of a germ-toxin
in the system after continuous feeding.
Lambs that show. symptoms of the
disease can be given an antitoxin by
veterinarian, which gives a short-tine
immunity.

Now is the time and we are
the people to share such a mes
sage as this. My bloved, readers,
if this very evening death
should come to you, would you
be saved or lost? That is the
question. There are only four
or five answers possible to that
question. Some might say, posi-
lively, No We would not; and
0 God, pity the man that is
not saved right now because
tomorrow he may be in eter-
nifty. Surely it is a woeful mis-
take to put off from day to day
what God said you should do
first. Seek we first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be
added unto YOU"
Another answer to that ques-
ton might be, we have not
thought of the matter at all and
| blieve that would be the ans
wer of a large majority of peo-
pie who are not saved today.
They are simply living on from
day to day and giving the mat

ter no LnOuRnL whatsoever. AHO
O, what a condition of affairs
that is! For a man just to live
from day to day, with brain to
think; with immortal souls to
save; worth more than all of
the world and yet never paying
attention to them. May God
help you to think and ask your
selves the question Am I Saved,
or Am I Lost?"
Another answer might be, [
hope SO; [ am trying to live
good life. I suppose there are
a great many people in this day
of universal religion without
any Christ in it; who are taught
the old doctrine of the Phari-
sees, to make themselves better
instead of trusting in the blood
of Christ. And possibly hun
dreds and hundreds of honest
men and women really think
that all they need to do is just
to live about as good a life as
the average Christian, and when
they come to die they will be
alright and they will go right
to Heaven. That is one of the
most remarkable doctrines ever
published to the world. 1t is the
doctrine of Satan and not OF
God. The truth of Gods Word
is that none are righteous, no
not one. Your own righteous
ness avai1eth nothing. The Word
of God says, our righteousness.
es are as filthy rags. You might
just as we'll sit where you are
and tell me you are clean as
to tell me you are going to be
saved by your goodness. If you
can be saved by your goodness
l can be saved by mine, and If
l can every other man can.
Then the coming of the Savior
would be useless; His dying on
Calvary would not have been
necessary; Gods plan would all
be in vain. O, do not deceive
yourselves. You can never be
saved by your own righteous
ness.
There is another answer to
my question, are you saved
now? And that answer can be,
YES. Positively, YES. A man

CAMERA ANGLES

Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

If you will turn to Page 8 Of
The Star Magazine you will
find reproduced the first Of 10
weekly groupings of prize WIN
ming photos in The Stars An
nual Snapshot Contest. Each
receives IS and a chance to
compete for $500 bond at the
conclusion of the 10 weeks
competition. If one of this
weeks four winners should
be the grand prize winner, it
will go into the National COM
petition.
Today's photos were made
by non-professional camera
fans like yourself. You will
notice that there are four cate
gories into which any snap
shots can be entered. One is
for babies and young children,
another for the activities of
older children and adults. a
third for animals, and another
for scenes and still life.
The contest Is open through
September so there is plenty
of time to send in your best
pictures for a chance at the
national cash awards Of 81 900
each for top winners in the
four categories.
No Equipment Restriction
We want to give you a clear
idea of what the judges are
looking for in the selection Of
weekly and final winners. Let's
clear up one point that seems
to be causing confusion. We
have had a number Of phone
calls from prospective contest
ants who wanted to know If
any certain camera. film or
paper must be used to qualify
an entry.
The rules clearly state that
any camera, film or paper may
be used. 1t makes absolutely
on difference. Each picture will
be considered only on its
merits.
Now let's get back to the
winners in today's Star Maya
zine. Take a good look at them
even study each for a few
minutes. Chances are you will
feel that you have a number
of snapshots made during the
past year that are just as good
or perhaps better. Or perhaps
these pictures will suggest to
you certain ideas for making
better ones.
Actually there is no great
trick to making a snapshot
worthy Of taking one of our
cash awards. All it takes is a
bit of Imagination and the
ability to render a good picture
with your camera.
Avoid Distractions
In the eyes of the judges
interest and appeal of the
principal subject of the snap
shot will have considerable
Importance. For instance, you
may decide to submit a picture
of the Lincoln Memorial. While
this monument has been

photographed countless times
there is always some angle or
way to make striking picture
different" One person might
stand in front of the memo
rial at high noon and take q
snapshot in what is generally
cosidered a poor light. There
would be other distracting ele-
ments such as large crowds Of
people and busy traffic passing
in front. On the whole, the
odds are that such a picture
wouldn't stand much chance
of winning prize.
On the other hand, another
photographer might get up
early some morning, catch a
soft, attractive lighting without
the distractions of cars and
people, and come up with an
entirely different picture al
though made from the same
position taken by the first
photographer.
With child or an animal
as a subject, try to have it
busy at some task or at play,
rather than allow it to stare
glumly into the lens of the
camera. Little things like these
made the difference between
pictures that win and those
that do not.
Seek Technical Excellence
1t is also important to give
more than casual thought to
the mechanical side of photog-
raphy. Many a good snapshot
has been spoiled because the
camera jiggled during the ex-
posure and either blurred the
picture or cut of the head,
feet, or other portions of the
subjects anatomy.
You should also give your
Aim a chance to do its best
for you. Check the lens aper-
ture and shutter setting before
each exposure just to be doubly
sure the film will be exposed
correctly. Otherwise your pic
lures may turn out dark or
light instead of snappy and
crisp.
AS another suggestion-take
a final look in the finder be-
fore pressing the shutter re-
lease. Don't fill the picture
area too much and on the
other hand don't let the sub
ject be so small that much Of
the film area Is wasted.
Keep your entries coming in
there's room for all and
everyone has a chance to win.
