WEHRBEIN, Plattsmouth 9 Your scales can be a valuable ally to your judging eye! For years livestock breeders have kept weight and per formance records, as well as pedigrees. Now many commercial producers are taking a tip from them. Re cording birth weights and weaning weights of calves, pigs and lambs. Using their records to help cull, to select their likeliest breeding stock. There is lots of evidence of the value of your scales in helping your eye. Here are just a few examples: 1) At Purdue University they weighed 7,554 pigs from 784 litters. Here's what they found. Pigs that weighed THREE pounds at birth averaged 28 pounds at wean ing. But pigs that weighed TWO pounds at birth weighed only 21 pounds at weaning. Of the heavy pigs, 77 lived to weaning age, against only 49 of the light pigs. And right up to market weight, the heavier pig3 had a higher rate of gain. 2) The U. S. D. A. has kept a 14-year record on beef calves. Birth weights vary from 40 to 109 pounds. Their finding: heavier-than-average calves reach a 500 pound weaning weight and 900-pound marketing weight faster than lighter-than-average calves. You know what that means! Less feed. More and quicker profit. 3) Sheep Experiment Station men at Dubois, Idaho, find they can use the scales to select breeding stock for greater production in the future. Their ewe lambs, which are heavier than average at weaning time, prove to be the best producers in total lamb weight and fleece weights. . 4) At the University of Wyoming they divided dairy heifers into light and heavy weight groups. The "heavies" weighed 24 pounds more at birth. But at six months they averaged 43 pounds more per animal. You need a good "judging eye", to tell you whether an animal has good conformation, is true to type, etc. But the evidence of recorded weights does point strongly to a general rule which can help your eye: Keep or buy animals heaviest at birth or ueaningl m Soda Bill Sez: It pays to say good of folks. A feller will nigh "bust" himself trying to be as good as he thinks you think he is. -r V 14 MAP OF "STEER ROUTE a n n is .tAr.

It-helps owners keep their records. They know when ewes will lamb . . . which lambs are from which sire. Many feeder cattle are prone to contract shipping fever. This disease ia a type of pneumonia. It may be brought on by fatigue, irregular feeding and exposure. Vaccination, two weeks before shipping, helps reduce the danger, reports the University of Illinois. Cattle arriv ing in the feed lot should be protected from cold winds and rain. Light, bulky feeds like whole oats and roughage should be fed. Sick animals should be isolated promptly and a veterinary called. Control swine parasites make more profit, suggests the University of Minnesota. Even fall pigs may be infested with internal parasites. Strict sanitation is the key to control. Clean and scrub farrowing pens with boiling lye water. Wash the sides and udders of sows with soapy water before farrowing. After farrowing keep the pigs on clean pasture until bad fall weather sets in. SWATEK HARDWARE 433 Main Dial 5119 From grass range to gas range, in our big nation most of the livestock is raised far from where it is eaten an average of more than 1,000 miles. Swift & Company helps bridge this gap and balance the supply in one area with the demand in another. Efficient processing and distribution keep the meat moving to markets all over the country. For these services Swift earns a profit of a fraction of a cent a pound. This has no noticeable effect on either meat or livestock prices. It s the demand for the available supply in the nation-wide mar kets which governs the price of meat and thus the price of livestock. For the price we pay for animals must be based on what the meat and by-products will bring. OUR CITY COUSIN Cries City Cousin, the silly child, "Look! Jack-o'-lante growing wild !" Prices of Hogs May Rise or Fall But Competition Sets Them All I have been with Swift & Com pany for 46 years. Most of my work has had to do with the buy ing of hogs and selling of pork and pork products. I would like to make a point that I believe should be of interest to you, as tmwI nrers. Do you remember when the top price for hogs m Chicago was 5H cents a pound? Some sold for as low as 3 per pound. That was in December, 1932. This year hogs hit an all-time high of more than JO cents a pound. No meat packing company can l::::::::Ph control either livestock or meat prices. More than 3,500 competing meat packers and 22,500 other commercial slaughterers see to that. So do 35,000, 000 meat-eating families. No- packer's buyer can hold down the price of livestock. No packing com pany could boost up the price of meat. Now, here's the point I want to get across to you Those prices, both lowest and highest, were set bv (1) the supply of hogs, and (2) the demand for pons. Mr Lund, guest editor this month, ia Vice-President of Swift & Company in charge of hog buying, processing and distribution of pork products. .4 Crib-Dried "Soft" Corn Beats' Spoilage by Wallace Ashby, USDA Artificial drying of high-moisture corn in farm cribs should help stabilize live stock production. It should enable you to hold over corn for summer and fall feeding. When your corn is too "soft," it must be sold or fed before the warm weather of spring. Farm r-rih Hrir5 wfrt tesfprf rwpntlv by USDA agricultural engineers and Wallace Ashby cooperating State Agricultural Experiment Stations. The artificial drying of corn in existing cribs proved practical. They required but inexpensive preparation to insure an equal distribution of heated air through the corn (such as sealing ends with heavy paper). . Value of the corn was increased 10 to 70 cents a bushel, as a result of the drying operations (based on amount of drying needed and current local discounts and prices). r uei ana power tosts iansi irum ,2 10 ws cents a bushel, according to moisture removed, weather, and other factors. Labor, depreciation, and insurance would add to the total cost of drying. But it still would leave a good net gam even it tne corn were sold. Artificial arying aiso majces n, possioie tor you to har- !i vest early. More important, it enables you to hold over j grain needed for feeding on the farm without danger of spoilage, regardless of its moisture content at maturity. Thus you can plan ahead for summer and fall feeding ' operations. You're assured of a ready supply of grain that I is essential for that final market finish. j r- U y rm f . srrt INDIVIDUAL PORK 1 tablespoon chopped onirF ' teaspoon saae i' ,5 l teaspoon salt -iic hi ROASTS 4 1-inch-thick shoulder pork chops 1 teaspoon prepared mustard 2 cups bread crumbs Spread chops with mustard.
