Self Feeding Lambs
The self feeding of lambs is
becoming mor and more popu-
lar in this area each year. This
method OF feeding lambs is en-
ployed mainly to save labor and
TO produce faster gain. 1t has
certain disadvantages, however,
in that a greater death loss can
occur II proper precautions r
not taken, and settled lambs gen.
orally require more grain and
less hay per 100 pounds of gain
as compared to hand feeding. Less
home grown roughage is con-
Sumed when this takes place.
For safety in self feeding it
jS important to start them out
slow. A common method used
is to start the lambs out by hand
feeding two tenths of a pound
of grain mixture per head per
day until they are leaving a
little grain in the troughs at
the end of thirty minutes feed
ing. The lambs should then be
ready to put on self feeders. In
order 20 insure safe self-feed-
ing throughout the fattening
period, a mixture of grain and
some bulky feed is advised. Dried
molasSes beet pulp has been used
with very good results along with
grain in self feeding. In fact,
some of OUR feeders T starting
lambs out on self feeders by
having a greater proportion of
dried pulp in the mixture than
grain and gradually reducing the
amount of DMBP through the
fattening period. Chopping al
falfa hay and mixing it with the
grain ration has also given good
results ID self feeding.
One thing to remember though,
in the use of self feeders for
Iambs, and that is you just can /;

Information for Grain
Producers Who Store
Grain at Home

EntomologistS at Montana State
College say that it is a good prac-
tice to make frequent inspections
Of grain that is in farm storage
so that insect infestations may be
detected early.
Even though grain may have
had a low moisture content when
harvested and stored. it can still
20 out of condition. Recent studies
show how this a happen.
When grain goes into storage
il is likely TO be quite warm. Then
when cold weather sets in the
top and sides of the grain in the
bin are cooled down considerably.
The air trapped in the grain
around the edges is also cooled
but the center of the grain mass
remains warm. Since the cold air
IN the outside of the bin is heav-
Ter If sinks and forces the warm
air in the center Of the bin up
ward. This warm air carries con-
siderable moisture which con-
denses when it comes in con-
tact with the cold grain at the
top of the bin.
If enough moisture condenses
10 bring the water content up to
16 per cent or more the grain
in the top layer will go out of
These areas where
moisture condenses are known
rs ''hot spots and make ideal
places for insects to get started.
Very largely, most of this work
IN temperature-moisture control
relationships on grain has been
lone the last few years. Before
hat, the going out of condition"
,roblem was not too well under
TODD.
Turning the top layer of grain
or right after cold spells
Will help prevent this trouble.
Another way is to turn all of the
rain in the bin to reduce the
temperatures Of the entire mass
f grain. Meanwhile it pays to
inspect the grain at frequent in
ervals for signs Of condensation.

Rough Going
The great majority of our

that getting into the black and
staying there is much rougher
than 1t was in the boom year OF
1866 and also rougher than II

And this is happening in in

are continuing to climb to the
highest levels of all history as

leveling off or declining.

have been increasing: costs OF
transporting. distributing, adj

have bee increasing; costs OF
becoming more efficient-ex-
panding and improving plants

On the other hand, the sales

Aiding Research
On tuberculosis

COLUMBUS - Christmas Seal
research grants from county and
state tuberculosis and health asso-
Citations in Ohio are supporting one
of twenty-six teaching and re-
search fellowships recently award
ed by the National tuberculosis
and Health Association for the cur
rent academic year. The Ohio con-
tributions have been assigned to
William P. Reagan of Little Rock,
Arkansas, a resident fellow at the
University of Arkansas Medical
Center.
The special grants donated by
tuberculosis associations have
made possible an expanded fellow
ship program this year according
to DR.. julius L. Wilson, Director Of
Medical Education for the Nation
al Association. The 26 awards have
been given to young men and
women who have recently attain
ed their doctorates or who are
working for an advanced degree.
All Of them are interested in grad
uate study in the field of respira-
tory diseases and are working in
an approved hospital or medical
center.
The fellowships are part of the
medical education and medical re-
search program of the NTA, sup
ported primarily by Christmas
Seal funds. In addition, Ohio funds
support a research program at
medical centers and hospitals with
in the state. Five projects are cur.
rently underway at four Ohio hos
pitals investigating the tubercle
bacillus itself, the drugs used
against it, and the mystery of in
dividual immunity.
The goals of most of these pro-
jects in Ohio and across the United
States are to find drug which
completely kills the tubercle bacil-
lus or a vaccine which gives COM
plete and permanent protection
against the disease.

Specialist Says
Now Is Time For
CuIIing PuIIets

COLUMBUS If you didn't Gull
your pullets when you housed
them this fall, better do it now,
Emil Malinovsl<y, Ohio State Uni
versity extension poultryman, ad-
vises poultry producers.
Look for small birds, those with
poor color in their combs and wat
ties, and those which haven't gain
ed weight since being housed. You
might try housing such birds in
separate quarters for while, NAL
inovsky suggests. Without compe-
tition from the rest of the flock
for feed and water they may de-
velop into good layers later on. Or
you might put them back on range
until cold weather sets in.
If you have a good breed or
strain of layer, you won't have to
Gull much during the laying seas
on, according to Malinovsky. Just
watch for those birds which have
been injured in some way, those
which haven't fully recovered from
diseases, or those which are laying
eggs with poor shell quality.
After the flush of production
next spring you may want TO Gull
more severely. Then you can take
out those birds showing poor color
in wattles and combs and those
which show signs of going light
| (poorly fleshed).
Culling is an art, MalinovslIy
points out. Some producers get
over-zealous in culling. Most mod
ern-day birds with good breeding
won't stay out of production for
long periods if they are properly
fed and cared for, according to the
poultryman. In the past, cage oper-
ators have been prone to Gull birds
after they dropped below 80 per-
cent production. With well-bred
birds, this is a mistake, Malinovs-
ky says. These birds may be back
in production in couple weeks.

nation on culling in Extension

This thawing and refreezing causes
loss of quality and flavor, Swank
says.
In a home chest-type freezer the
space just under the lid is the
warmest. When the center is zero,
the upper third of the freezer will
have a temperature above zero.
The space just inside the door is
warmest in an upright freezer. The
top shelf is the coldest and the bot
tom the warmest in freezers with
refrigerated shelves.
For top-quality frozen food
Swank suggests that you make
your frozen purchases last before
leaving the store, request that the
frozen foods be placed in double
