VanDerVeenn Due to the labor shortage on dairy farms, many dairymen have sold their dairy herds and have gone into "beef breeding cattle in the pdst year or two. We are frequently consulted by them as to what sort of a h*'rdj health plan they should follow in order that their herds may b^ a profitable instead of a losing project. Most people realized that it is impossible to prosper with diseases in their livestock, ' that diseases must be held down j to a minimum in order to succeed, as no one can work against the ravages of livestock diseases and come out on top. VVhile beef cattle are not as susceptible to tubercu'osia as <iairy cattle, due to fact that they are not housed as closely and do net work a3 hard as dairy cows, they," however, do contract the disease where exposed to the germ and many beef breeding herds have been broken down with tubeiculosiis. Therefore, it is required that beef breeding herds be tested regularly for tuberculosis. Brucellosis (bangs disease.) is a very hazardous disease to the beef breeding farmer and beef cattle are perhaps just as susceptible to brucellosis as the dairy cattle. Moreover, the^sjontrol of brurellosis is more vi^a1 to the beef breeder than thr dairyman because the only ir come one gets from a bee t.'eeding cow is the live cal while dairy cattle will £ive som> milk for which there rtill market. While the dairy cov with brucellosis and an aborts calf will not be a profitabl cow, she will not be all loss P BUTCH'S .YMOOUVRE .. „ .

Fitzgerald's Christmas Gifts * Are Ready 5 USE OUR LAY-AWAY MEN'S SHOP 808 S. GREEN STREET FHON* «» is the case With a beef breeding cow. Therefore, It is advisable that beef breeders enter into a brucellosis eradication program at once. Now is the time to vaccinate those heifer calves and bull calves that will be used for breeding. The time to vaccinate those heifer calves is after they' have been* weaned and are past the bawling stage and are back on feed. Your local veterinarian will vaccinate them fcr you at state expense. The best age is not younger than six months nor older than eight months. Be sure no calves are missed as calves that are missed may become a source of trouble in your herd later on. That is a good j reason why all livestock ownersj should . keep accurate record^ of j all their animals instead of I trusting to memory. i Also, it is advisable to blood test the breeding herd regularly, in order" to • head off a brucellosis storm. This can also be j lone at state expense providing the herd meets the proper requirements, which your veterinarian will explain to you. If your cow came in under quar-> antine, which was possible until about one year ago, you will have to pay for J&e- test to release them from quarantine. Then you can enter into a regular plan with the state and federal government. £ We must be reminded that laws and regulations set up by your fedeial government and state government was set up for one purpose only and that is to help the livestock breeder to control livestock disease* so that he may prosper from his enterpi ise. To control disease, it also requires some effort on the livestock owner and that is in way of sanitation, which should never be overlooked. Also, one must Be careful about bringing in new animals, making certain that they are f reeof disease and that a health certificate comes with the animal whibh corresponds with the ear tag m the animals ear or, if purebred, With the registration number. Tlit-re is another item of tremendous. importance. Beef breeding stock is generally nervou? and wild, which is generally due to several causes. The worse cause of nervousness is breeding' Nervousness in livestock is usually bred into the animal either through the sire or dam or both, Good livestock breeders sele<. 1 their breeding stock from quiet docile familiar as nervousness is .very undesirable' in livestock oi all kinds. Also, one must handle cattle gently5 Clubbing and whipping beef cattle is just as much a mistake as beating, dairy cows" Last but not least, when any cne goes into beef breeding he fhust equip himself ^o properly handle nis cattle as he must handle them for T.

A garbage contract between Mr. Roewer and the village is now in the process of being negotiated. On Thursday and Friday of last week. Judge Carroll in the circuit court at Waukegan presided over the recounting of ballots cast in last April's election of village officials. The actual recounting disclosed very few errors. None of the discrepancies effect a change of the village board officials. Now, with this matter cleared away, the First National bank in Barrington is expected to soon give their stamp of approval on a loan there on tax anticipation warrants, so flhat the village can function properly. The village is still seeking snow removal bids. So far, none has been received. Mr. Pretzman, who so ably served the comiwA* ity before the village was incorporated, is now a trustee on the board, and the law does Hot allow him to participate in any legal contracts with tM vfflage.
