staggering. There were well over
12.000 work-related deaths and
2.100.000 disabling injuries in the
country last year, resulting in a
total time loss of 80 million work
days. Total cost of these accidents
is estimated at $32.5 billion. On an
individual basis, this breaks down
to about $330 for every person
employed.
This year’s seminar program
will cover industrial fire safety.
The members passed a motion to
allot $50.00 for each member at

A pendulum attached to a pen
swings when the recorder is
jiggled. By studying the pen et
chings made on a slowly rotating
graph, the scientists were able to
determine when and bow long cows
grazed.
Adams and Reynolds recorded
cow behavior from Dec. 1 through
Jan. 15, a period when tem
peratures ranged from 38 to minus
30 degrees. Weather data provided
by a local airport about a mile
from the study site was compared
to cows’ behavior. But of all the
data, including temperature,
humidity, wind velocity,
barometric pressure, and
precipitation, temperature was the
most important climatic factor.
Cows grazed a native range

Station, Miles City, Mont They did
not receive a feed supplement.
Twelve cows were in the study. I
Adams and other scientists have
expanded the study this winter and
will observe the effects of cow size
and body fat on grazing behavior.
