 changeover will take "severa1 years II The 42nd Heavy Bomb Wing at Loring AFB, Maine, will be the first of the new uni ts to get the speedy Stratofor- tress.
 The AT said that as the B-3os are re- placed they will be dismantled and used as a source of
 spare parts for those remaining in service. Some B-36 equipment is inter changeahle and can be used in other aircraft.

you say a boy should study to
prepare himself for medicine?
A. Many doctors tend to be
too one-Sided. I'd prescribe a
generous injection of the hu-
manities, SO he'll have some
thing to offer his patients be-
sides technical knowledge.
@. But don't medical schools
have pretty stiff science re-
quirements?
A. Yes, they do. The boy
should make sure he's got
plenty of chemistry, biology,
some physics, and at least a
Sprinkling of the 9th er
sciences.
@. How about languages?
A. Most medical schools
still require German so I'd
be sure to get that in. Lit
erature courses are important,
too. A doctor has got to be
able to write and talk cor
rectly.
@. That means a pretty
heavy schedule, doesn't it?
A. Yes. And most students
nowadays try to cram their
pre-med training into three
years instead of four. Then
comes four years of medical
school, where elective courses
Evening star., 1956-08-26

are few, followed by two to
four years Of internship and
reSidency.
@. Do you recommend any
particular extra-currlcular ac-
tivities for prospective dOc-
tors?
A. None in particular. Golf
and most sports are good in
that they require physical ex-
ertion and help to keep the
student healthy over the long
pull through school.
Q. How about part-time or
summer jobs during college
or medical school?
A. Again, 1 favor the change
of pace. 1t might be a good
thing, however. if a young
man could get a part-time job
in a medical school or hospi-
tai experimental laboratory
just to get used to the atmo-
sphere. Generally speaking,
though, he'd have to work for
nothing. Funds just aren't
available.
Q. After a student finishes
medical school, he has his in
ternship and residency ahead
Of him. How can he expect
to make out financially dur
ing this period?
Evening star., 1956-08-26

@. Medicine seems to be a
popular profession with WASH
ingtOn boys. Do you think
that is because it is highly
paid?
A. If it is, these boys are i'll
for a surprise. Medicine is
financially unrewarding.
Q. How can you say that?
According to the Commerce
Department the average
yearly income of all persons
filing income tax returns in
1850 was $3,416. For the same
year, according to Commerce,
the average gross income of
physicians was $2O,713.
A. Sure, but look at the
time a boy has to spend before
he makes any money at all.
And, don't forget, he's got
about eight years of schooling
to pay for, too.
@. But doctors do make q
good income?
A. Yes, and they're entitled
to it. OF course. that isn't or
shouldn't be the reason a boy
goes into medicine. Service
to fellow human beings is still
the idea.
Q. Having given us some
financial pointers, what would

Contrary to Nature

The artificial conditions under which
chicks are raised today, along with
high-powered antibiotic rations, give
the utmost in efficiency, but they are
contrary to the nature of chicks. Large
numbers are confined together with
an impersonal brooder stove to take
the place of the mother hen. Feed
troughs are kept filled with easily di-
gested mash and crumbles, loaded with
growth stimulants and high-energy pro-
tein supplements. All their needs are
taken care of. The chicks have nothing
to do except eat and drink-and look
for trouble.
The trouble usually takes the form
of pecking at each others toes, wings
and tails. The cannibalistic chicks are
further excited and attracted by the
red blood If the injured chick isn't
killed, its growth will be stunted.
1t is thought by some poultry spe-
cialiSts that the pecking instinct of
chicks is likened to the sucking in
stInct of mammals. A Hereford calf
that roams the range with its mother
has sample opportunity to satisfy its
sucking need. Dairy calves that are
not allowed to nurse but are confined
in a pen with other calves and fed
from bucket will suck on each others
ears. Chicks raised under artificial
conditions do not have to work for
living. Ample feed is always available.
The chicks fill up fast and never have
chance to fully satisfy their pecking
instinct.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-05-01

CANNIBALISM AMONG baby chicks
and laying hens has become a major
headache for pOultrymen in recent
years. What are its causes? What can
be done about it?
Over-crowding, poor ventilation and
excessive heat in the brooder house
will give rise to an outbreak of canni-
balism, but to lump the causes togeth-
er under the catch-all phrase, poor
management practices, may be an
over-simplification of the problem.
There is the growing feeling among
poultrymen that cannibalism is directly
related to the artificial and unnatural
conditions under which chicks are
raised today. Back in the days when
a mother hen raised brood of chicks,
finding enough to eat was an all-day
job. The chicks were kept busy peck
ing and scratching. They roamed the
entire farmstead in search of seeds,
grain, bugs and worms. Among chicks
raised in a natural state, cannibalism
is unknown.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-05-01
Variety of Treatments

Several treatments have been en-
ployed to put stop to cannibalism
such as painting the windows of the
brooder house red, putting salt in the
water and dabbing bitter pick-paste
around the brooder house so the chicks
will associate the foul tasting paste
with the color ''red" While these
measures may be effective to varying
degrees, they offer no permanent cure
and they overlook the possibility that
cannibalism might be a manifestation
of the chicks unfulfilled instinct to
peck.
There is growing feeling among
many pOultrymen that debeaking Of
fers the only positive solution to the
problem of cannibalism. All the chicks
used in the experiments at Montana
State College are debeaked when at
8 to 4 weeks old and again when
housed as layers. Dr. E. R. Halbrook,
head of the poultry department, says
that debeaking in no way interferes
with eating and drinking, and has had
no effect on egg production.
A Montana hatcheryman recommends
removing half of the upper beak when
chicks are to weeks old. This elimi-
mates the necessity of doing the job
again later, he says.
If a scissors or small wire cutters
are used for debeaking, the wound
should be scared or cauterized with a
soldering iron. Poultrymen who raise
large numbers of chicks every year
may find an electric debeaking knife
worthwhile investment. The electri-
cally heated blade ships off the beak
and cauterizes the wound in one fast
operation. Several small-flock opera
tors have gone together on the purchase
of an electric debeaking knife to spread
the cost. Such knife can sometimes
be obtained on a rental basis.
The poultry industry has made tre-
mendous advances through research
in recent years. Unnecessary losses
from cannibalism could conceivably
wipe out these gains. At present it
would seem that debeaking offers the
only positive solution to the problem.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-05-01

teins. When chicks are raised in the
natural state this dietary need is sup
piled by bugs and worms.
While today'S methods of brooding
chicks are highly efficient, they are
also highly conducive to mischief. The
slightest disregard for the chicks COM
fort may start an outbreak of cannibal-
ism. Therefore, it's extremely impor-
tant that there is adequate floor space
and feeder space to prevent crowding.
The brooder house should be well venti-
lated and a comfortable temperature
should be maintained.

Need Animal Proteins

There is the feeling among some
poultrymen that cannibalism is further
aggravated by the use of vegetable pro-
teins in feed, rather than animal pro-

Debeaking Chicks
Stops Cannibalism

Debeaking offers tn e.

chicks. Removing half

way affects eating and
