Rear Calves Outside
During Summer Months
A clean lot witlr grass and
some shade can be a good place
to rear healthy young cattle.
Baby calves can be put in such
a 'place at birth provided that
they have access to clean water,
some hay and calf starter grain
mix. Calves can be sprayed for
flies if necessary each time they
are fed milk or milk replacer.
' We urge dairymen to move all
their young cattle outside when
calf disease's are a problem in
the bam.
While the calves are outside,
take advantage of the opportun
ity to give their barn quarters a
thorough cleaning and disinfect
ing.
Remove all bedding and man
ure. Scrub wall and floor sur
faces with detergent and water
or use a steam jenny to do the
job. After you are satisfied that
the calf and heifer pens are
thoroughly clean, spray all the
surfaces with an odorless disin
fectant or dairy sanitzer.
Leave the pens empty for sev
eral weeks, and you will have a
much better place to start to
grow calves inside again.
Handle Drugs
For Animals Carefully
Everybody’s aware of the seri
ous problems which misuse of
drugs have created today.
Livestock farmers and poultry
men should also be aware of the
fact that misuse of drugs for
animals and poultry can do
much more harm than good.
Inteligent use of medicines and
feed additives can greatly im
prove quality and efficiency in
production. Prevntion of diseases
makesmore sense than treatment
of disease.
Dr. Sam B. Guss, a Pennsyl
vania State University Exten
sion veterinarian, emphasizes
that most of the disease prob
lems which affect livestock and
poultry in Pennsylvania can be
prevented and kept under con
trol by good management prac
tices. When sanitation and man
agement are lacking, drugs and
antibiotics actually complicate
and make many disease prob
lems hopeless, says Dr. Guss.
Unfortunately, too many drugs
are available today through many
channels. Farmers are tempted
to buy something in a bottle or
feed additive first and fail to
look deeper into the basic
causes of disease problems. De
pend upon your veterinarian for
counsel on how to use medicines
and when to use them.
When antibiotics and other
drugs are used correctly, they
are still “miracle drugs.” They
can then be depended upon to
do the job when they are need
ed.
Don’t Store Gasoline
For Long Periods
Gasoline stored on a farm or
around a house becomes an ex
pensive convenience if the stor
age period is longer than six
months.
First, the fuel contains a
blend of several parts, one of
which is extremely volatile and
provides engines with easy start
ing. It evaporates rapidly. When
the storage tank is exposed to
the sun or high temperatures,
most of this ingredient is lost
in about 60 days.
Secondly, gas becomes gum
my similar to shelac after
ic “ages.” This gum may stop
up the carburetor and 'cause
engine deposits. It also may
