r FMM TIE FUN LATE CORN CAN MAKE GOOD SILAGE There is no such thing as normal silage filling time this year, says University of Illinois Extension Livestock Specialist H.G. Russell. In Illinois areas where there is late-planted corn that will not be ready at "normal si­ lage filling time" it will pay to wait a few days, he says. 1965 trials conducted by Un­ iversity of Illinois beef resear­ chers showed the best time to harvest silage is when only the lower leaves are brown and the grain well dented, but not hard. Moisture content of this silage was 66 percent. Steers weighing 600 pounds gained 2.46 pounds daily on a full feed of the silage plus 6 pounds high- moisture corn and 1 pound 50 percent soybean meal per head. Similar cattle were fed earl­ ier, 73 percent moisture silage or later cut, 60 percent mois­ ture silage. Each of these groups gained about one-fourth pound a head a day less than cattle eating the 66 percent moisture silage. Greatest dry matter yield per acre and best feed efficiency are obtained from silages har­ vested when corn kernels are well-dented but not hard. HOG CHOLERA PREVENTION Nine Illinois twins herds were depopulated during Aug­ ust because of hoi cholera. Here's how to want hag cholera: >> -- Purchase only animals of known origin. -- Isolate incoming animals for 30 days. -- When going from isolated animals to the main herd, change your outer clothing and scrub your boots with a good antiseptic solution. -- At the first sign of dis­ ease, consult a veterinarian. Remember that indemnities are only paid on pigs alive at the time of the first official visit by State or Federal vet­ erinarians. DON'T SKIMP HOG PROTEIN Corn may be cheap this fail, but it still woif t pay to skimp on protein supplement for grow­ ing pigs. In two University of Illinois tests, pigs fed a ration containing half the recom­ mended amount of protein sup­ plement gained only about two- thirds as lkst as pigs receiving a balanced ration. The pigs on the balanced ration gained 192 pounds more on each ton of feed than those receiving the low-protein ration. With $1.00-a-bushel corn, soybean meal has to be more than $200 a ton before the low-protein ration is as eco­ nomical as the adequate ration.

Are you thinking about sell­ ing your car yourself rather than trading? There are a few things you can do to help Old Faithful sell quicker and for a better price. Your prospective customers will be much more aware of certain idiosyncrasies which you have learned to live with but which might not cost much to fix. Worn carpeting, for ex­ ample, can be covered with attractive contour floor mats for a few dollars. One thumping tire might be replaced with your good spare. This creates a much better driving impression and ought to be done anyway. Don*! Overlook A noisy muffler or a missing engine, things you may have been planning to take care of, can make the big difference between sale and no sale. Es­ pecially if your_prospect has Suffer From Wanderitus? Here's Cure Have you ever followed be­ hind ... or ridden with ... a driver who seemed to be jock­ eying his steering wheel back and forth as if he were wind­ ing his way through an obsta­ cle course? His car may have been weaving a bit, but his steering wheel was working overtime. That person was driving a car with Wanderitus, an ail­ ment of the steering system. Its results are: driver fa­ tigue, passenger car-sickness and sometimes, in severe cases, dented fenders. Wanderitus is the product of looseness in the parts that transmit steering effort to the front wheels. You turn the steering wheel and, before the effects are felt, you must take up the slack caused by loose­ ness in these parts. The worst thing about Wan­ deritus is that gusts of wind, irregularities in the road and other factors cause the front wheels to veer, willy nilly, one way or another within the lim­ its permitted by the looseness of the steering linkage. The driver tries to counter­ act this darting business by winding his steering wheel in the other direction. It is like trying to control a ship with a loose rudder* > Like so many car ailments, Wanderitus creeps up on its victim, who subconsciously compensates for the worsen­ ing condition by more action at the steering wheel. Finally, he is whipping his wheel from one side to another in only partial control of his car. To determine for yourself whether or not your car is be­ ginning to suffer the first sneaky stages of Wanderitus, try this^simple test: Stand outside your car and reach through the open win­ dow to the steering wheel. With your front wheels pointed straight ahead, and your car standing still, move the steering wheel about a quarter turn to the left, then to the right. If the steering wheel moves more than two inches before the front wheels begin to turn, your car's steering system needs some adjustment, or possibly replacement of worn parts. Don't let Wanderitus creep up on you! Stay alert for its symptoms and consult your mechanic at the very first sign. Then, just to be sure, include a check of your car's steering during its six month physical exam. cars in rcome ac- ensating teering or been shopping g your price range. Maybe you have customer to cor for slightly loose slightly grabbing brakes. Don't try to sell your car ip. this con­ dition! You might | lose your c u s t o m e r a n d y o u r p a r . . . i n a ditch. Instead, invest a few dollars to have a car you know is right when you turn over the keys. One service found successful by reputable used car dealers is a lube job and 011 change. A clean, new sticker on the door jamb gives the buyer in­ creased confidence la the car and the person selling it. The cost is peanuts. , This is not to say y<ju should go overboard in fixing up to sell. Some people have! learned, to their dismay, that la cheap dent repair or inadequate paint job can actually work against them. Shabby paint is much easier on the eye than a poor paint job which often makes a pros-, pective buyer wary of possible accident repair that he thinks you are trying to cover up. Little Things, Too Use discretion and you will see good returns on your pre^ sale investment. Think how you would feel about it if you were buying the car. Does it look as if somebody cares? Is the interior clean? You can take care of this yourself with special upholstery cleaners available at your auto supply store. And a professional vac­ uuming at your service station will help matters considerably. With everything up to snuff, you ought to be able to sell the car much more quickly than if you had not invested a little money and some of your own time in it. In fact, you might decide to keep it. Signs helping the motorist to safety on the highways have distinctive shapes. What they mean can frequently be "tele­ graphed" -- especially during inclement weather -- to the motorist who can recognize their meaning, even before he may be able to read lettering. Now, here is what each of the shapes mean: The upright rectangle, upper left, means that some special regulation, such as "Do Not Enter" or "Keep Off the Me­ dian" or "Do Not Pass," is be­ ing flashed to you. The octagonal shape, center above, means unequivocally: "Stop." The circle, upper right, car­ ries a warning that you are ap­ proaching a railroad crossing. The diamond shaped sign warns you to "slow down." The horizontal rectangle is used to furnish you with direc­ tions such as "Main Street Next Exit" or "Springfield 30 Miles." The inverted triangle carries an imperative concerned with entering a stream of traffic. Its message tells you to "yield," signifying that the cars in oth­ er lanes have the right of way. • * * How did you make out on the test? !T""™HOP I J McHENRY | | FOR Aj I ™ iff* I BtST^Wxt | BARGAINS J ORTHO lc SaU on Ftrtlliitr ORTHO LAWN FOOD BUILD BEAUTIFUL GREEN LAWNS Buy one bag of any size of LAWN FOOD and get a second bag for 1 cent. 5,000 SQ.
