Thoughts in Passing (Continued From Page 14) until it means nothing and gives no pleasure. 4. Criticize politely reasonably and When you must criticize someone, you should do it, if possible, in private... but if not, Over 20 years ago, Wayne introduced Tail Curler Pig Starters to the swine industry and took much of the work and worry out of starting and weaning pigs. Wayne Pre-Starters are rich in natural milk products and other sweet-tasting, palatable ingredients that appeal to baby pigs. All three Tail Curlers, Tail Curler Rockets . . . Tail Curler Junior and Tail Curler Pig Starter, contain the ideal bal ance of essential ingredients and move gently through his delicate undeveloped system, easing him into solid food the "natural” way. The Wayne Pig Starting Program offers the “difference" that comes only with ex perience. Tail Curlers were good 20 years ago ... 20 years better today. GRUBB SUPPLY CO.

Even when you are called upon to administer the sternest discipline, even at the point' of discouraging an employee, do it kindly, with justice. Your con sideration may be the force that will cause him to do better in his next job; and you can be sure that his praise of you will reach other ears and can do nothing but good. 5. Encourage community effort As a leader or a supervisor you must often give orders, and must see that they are carried through. That’s what a leader is for, and when you have a happy har monious group, this is by far the easiest to command. If, as a leader, you know of a bad feeling among individuals in your group, you should make a most tactful effort to smooth things out . . . even if your remedy is to keep the fighting fractions apart. If someone is a misfit in your group, you should make an at tempt to help and encourage him. Do not write him off as a bad deal until you have made every effort to improve his status.

Witmer Provide Against be used in the Market Swine Identification (MSI) program, the USDA reported recently Veterinarians of USDA’s Animal and Plant Health In spection Service (APHIS) are cooperating with industry representatives in implementing a tattoo numbering system. This system will be coded to cover or account for over 15,000 slaughter swine marketing points Slaughter swine would be slap tattooed when the owner consigns the animals to a market or sells them for slaughter These associates, they will certainly not be loyal to their superiors. Some people will do anything to feel important. If you are a wise leader you will make them feel important for other things than tale-bearing. 6. Be firm but do not be a bully The most commanding people I have ever met, were the gentlest and kindest. Only the weak in dividual becomes a bully. He is one who yields to a better leader. Speak softly but carry a big stick. This is when once or twice a year when you become angry, it really means something and the of fender knows it! Never be weak when giving or enforcing an order. You must make your employees see that it is to be done at once and without question. For people quickly read weakness and lack of confidence if you bluster. Never say, “I am going to get what I want, and I mean what I say.” You won’t and you don’t and no one will believe you! Authority is not in itself something to be respected. Many people begin by resenting authority. It is the way you ad minister authority that makes self-confidence, self-relience, and self control a virtue . . and it is the thing that makes its recognition, by others a fine art. Lederrship is a fine art... it’s the art that has won wars, secured peaceful pacts and treaties, and solved violent disputes. Man makes the leader ... but leadership makes the man.

It is difficult to read the tattoo on the live animal, but when the hog is slaughtered and de-haired, the tattoo is clearly legible. A uniform coding system has been proposed by APHIS with each State assigned letters designating the market point where the swine are tattooed. The letters designate the State and market point. The 3 numbers under the 3 letters would be used to identify each lot or consignment. The lot number may be the same as the last three digits of a serially numbered dock ticket, scale ticket, or market record that will identify the herd of origin. A number of slaughter plants have been slap-tattooing all hogs purchased at their buying stations or delivered directly to their plants. The proposed coded tattoo system will not interfere with these plants and their method of identification. However, some modification will be necessary in cases when the plants buy but do not slaughter boars and heavy sows. To maintain identification of these animals, the buying stations or plants will be requested to use the proposed tattoo code assigned to them Many States will also collect blood samples from adult swine at slaughter for brucellosis testing. If the blood sample proves the animal to be a brucellosis reactor, the coded tattoo will be used to trace the animal to the herd of origin. The MSI program will be used in the intensified effort to eradicate brucellosis by the end of 1975. Roy A. Brubaker 700 Woodcrest Ave. Lititz 626-7766 L. H.
