GIRL COW TESTER
Are there any “men's jobs"
that a girl can't do? Testing
cows for tuberculosis supposedly
was one of them but 17-year-old
Miriam Johnson of near Blooms-
burg, has taken over the pob
for the Columbia and Luzerne
Counties’ Herd Improvement As-
sociation. She replaced Oren
Jaquish, of Wyoming County,
now in the armed forces, and
members of the association say
she's “doing fine.” Graduated
last year from Huntingdon
Township High School, she was
one of four girls in a class of 10
who learned the work at Penn-
State College. Born and raised
on a farm, she can milk and do
all the other chores, but says |
she likes testing better,
BEATS THE BAN
Dick Rice, of Towanda, had
a team but didn't know how to
harness or drive it but Manley
Burd did, so 14 Monroeton peo-
ple got to the movies in Towan-
da despite the ban on pleasure
driving. Although Burd had a
bad cold, he was drafted for
chauffeur and the Monroeton-
ites made the eight-mile trip
in a high-board lumber wagon.
An oil lantern unused for 20
years provided the “headlight”
and a flashlight made a “tail-
light.” They did not have trouble
finding a parking place in front
of the theatre,
ONE EGG A MONTH
Fresh eggs, as rare as thick
sirloin steaks, have returned to
ordinary consumers in London
this month on at least a token
basis. Ordinary consumers will
get one fresh egg a month,
Priority classes, including nuars-
ing mothers, invalids and infants
will get a dozen a month. Pow-
dered egg rations remain a doz-
en a person monthly.
PATRIOTIC SOWS
A sow on the Floyd Metzger
farm at Davenport, Iowa, bore
27 pigs and a triple A official
at Des Moines exclaimed, “Wow,
that's a miracle.” Three other
sows on the Metzger farm, also
apparently bent on going all out
in the food for victory program
produced 52 more pigs, bringing
the total to 79 within 24 hours.

Q What are the best kinds of

A Plymouth Rock or a cross of

most popular fowl right now r

same holds true. In egg production
the White Leghorn still has the call,
and for both meat and eggs use Ply-

Reds.
GIs it safe tc raise calves from
cows that have Bangs disease?
A~~Calves are apparently almost)
immune to the Bang bacillus until
they become pregnant or at least]
reach the age for breeding, so it is
safe to raise calves from reactors or
oh the milk from cows that react
Experiments with sulfa drugs indi-
cate we may find a practical cure for
this disease some day. But, so far,
the practical control is to isolate and
test reactors and vaccinate the
calves at six to eight months of age
to make them immune. I will get you
a good bulletin on this. i
Q~~What can I do to prevent the
walls of my henhpuse from sweat- |

no automobile traffic—and we mean
there was NO automobile traffic. The
