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.

then in a low voice so that the
person is not made to feel a fool in

Never tell others that they are

way of making him so! If you will
confine your criticism to the

A tattoo, applied to the
shoulder of slaughter swine, will
that the person can do better next
time. 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.

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.

animals can then be traced back
through marketing channels to
the herd owner Identification to
a herd of origin is the key to
locating infected herds and the
eradication of costly swine
diseases such as brucellosis,
tuberculosis, and hog cholera
The coded slap-tattoo system
consists of six characters, 3
letters and 3 numbers When the
tattoo characters have been
inked and applied to the animal’s
shoulder, the tattoo will last for
120 days or more. 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.
