cattle).
Shook said the cattle, being
very curious animals, probably
investigated a fox or some other
wild animal they noticed in
pasture. He said the result of
their curiosity would be a nip
on the nose or leg and rabies if
the animal were rabid. He said
the big reservoir of rabies is in
wildlife.
The veterinarians said rabies
falls into two types sometimes
referred to as furious or dumb.
In the furious, the afflicted ani

Crabgrass Easier
To Control Now
Than Later
A perfect lawn grass would
combine the persistence of
crabgrass v/ith the beauty of
bluegrass and the shade toler
ance of fescue. No matter how
poor the soil is or how hot the
thing that moves In the dumb,
animals get listless and lapse
into scmiconsciousness.
Rabies, he said, causes paraly
sis in the throat legion of the
animal A cow’s moo undergoes
a definite tone change as does a
dog’s baik, due to affected vocal
choids.
Because ot the paralysis ra
bies causes, animals aie unable
to drink and cannot swallow
saliva which accumulates
Shook sail this leads to a froth
ing condition often associated
with rabies.

BUNK FEEDER
GIANT CAPACITY
A powerful 9 inch auger it offset within a giant, fully
enclosed 12-inch steel hood. This unique design provides a
reservoir for silage and feeds the full length of die feeder,
greatly increasing the capacity and speed with which feed
moves to the livestock. Handles the output of the largest
silo unloader with ease.
FEEDS ENTIRE HERD AT ONE TIME
Feed is angered the full length of the enclosed hood and li
then automatically dumped into the feeding bunk, providing
equal rations to each head of livestock at the same time. No
cattle crowding. No spilled and wasted feeds. When feed
is dumped, the hood closes automatically and repeats as
often as needed.
SILENT, CLOG-PROOF OPERATION
' Powerful 9-inch auger never touches the metal hood;
eliminating metal-to-metal friction and providing the right
clearance to prevent binding and clogging even when mate
rials have high moisture content. Horsepower requirements
are greatly reduced too.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 15,1967 —
summer, crabgrass thrives—to
the dismay of many a home
gardener.
However, crabgrass can be
stopped, and this is the time to
do it, according to Dr. William
Mitchell, extension agronomist
at the University of Delawaie.
Treating pesky crabgrass with
herbicides now will save your
temper and your back later.
You can usually apply crab
grass preventers anytime after
April 1, or before the soil
warms up to 60-clegrees.
If your lawn—or your neigh
bor's—was loaded with crab
grass last year, you will un
doubtcdly need to apply the
heibicide Millions ol seeds fell
to the ground, and if you give
them a chance, they’ll sprout
and cause trouble this year. As
soon as the soil warms up,
they will gei ruinate and stait
to grow wherever there’s a tiny
patch of bale soil.
Several herbicides on the
S-17
minket will kill crabgrass. ac
cording to Mitchell. Pre-emerg
ence herbicides—those applied
before crabgrass seed germin
ates in the spiing—arc more
effective than post-emergence
chemicals. All the approved
chemicals are safe for use on
lawns; however, be sure yon
read and follow the directions
on the label on the container.
To apply the crabgrass treat
ment, mow the grass, then rake
and clean the lawn thoroughly.
Apply the chemical evenly and
don’t disluib the lawn suiface
with further raking Watei and
mow the lawn as usual.
01 couise, another wav to
control ciabgrasa is to keep it
fiom showing up at all A thick
stand ot glass may even put
you out ot the crabgiass busi
ness. so get the tmf off to a
good stait this spring Using
plenty of wa' ” when it’s need
ed, applying .dequate feitiluer
and mowing fiequently at a
two-inch height will encourage
a vigouious tuif with veiyfew
bare spots Give yoiu lawn half
a chance, Mitchell says, and it
will cut ciabgiass’ chances.
