Lakemoor. Alma Hueckstaedt Lilymoor 385-5689 Columnist's Niece Wins Recognition On Saturday, May 1st, a member of our family became a celebrity. Our niece, Janis Russell of Tulsa, Ok., was a contestant in the Second An­ niversary Country Talent Search, as a singer-guitarist. The program was aired on Radio Station WCOE in LaPorte, In. Janis was one of nine contestants. After all ninei performed their portion of the program, the judges had a very hard job deciding who the top winner would be, (the com­ petition was tremendous). Finally came the decision, Janis Russell was named as the first place winner. The prizes awarded to her were a $400 guitar, a vacation at an Indiana resort plus spending money and then on May 23, she will appear with Country-Western star Donna Fargo in Nashville, In. Among those present to share in the exciting outcome of the event were Janis' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Russell. Other relatives came from Bellevue and Kalamazoo, Mi.; La Porte, In. and Oklahoma. From the McHenry area were Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hertel and their two children. Michael and Patricia, also Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hueckstaedt Sr and son, Rusty (Alan). It was a very thrilling evening, one that was met with mixed emotions, and we as relatives all share the belief that this is just the beginning of many big things to happen in Janis' future, being the talented person she is. She has written several songs and she and her twin sister, Janet (Anderson) have recorded an album and a couple of 45 speed records. We are all very proud of them, and we appreciate the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ross opened up their home in LaPorte as host and hostess to all the out-of-towners. VARIETY PROGRAM Pat Morrison and Lilyann Baker regret they cannot ac­ cept any more entries for the Variety program and they are hoping to run a similar event next year and may accept your application then. COVERED WAGON TRAIN While the Bicentennial Covered wagon train was located in the Lake County fair grounds, the Bicentennial commission and their families of Lakemoor visited with the folks that have trekked across the country with final destination stop being Valley Forge, Pa. The group toured the thirty wagons. Besides the wagons, there were between &0 and 300 outriders who shared some of their many experiences that happened along the way. The Lakemoor commission presented the head wagon master, A1 Mavis, with Pledge of Rediedication. The pledge will be taken to Valley Forge and it will be placed in a time capsule on July 4 and will be opened in 100 years at the TriCentennial. The caravan of wagons began their journey on June 8, 1975. PARENTS FOR YOUTH Members of this organization will meet on May 19, and then will dispense with summer meetings, June through Sep­ tember.

IV* cattle should not be implanted (By George J. Young. University of Illinois Extension Adviser. Agriculture. McHenry County) Don't Neglect Dairy Herd Became Of Field Work • During spring and summer field work, the dairy herd on some farms may temporarily get neglected When this happens the dairyman pays for it all year long Irregular milking times, use of inexperienced persons to milk, failure to move cows to a new pasture when needed, or failure to keep milking equipment in top condition, may cause a severe drop in milk production When a cow drops in milk production, it is almost impossible to bring her back to peak production until she freshens again Take care of both the herd and the crops Early Cut Forages Make The Best Haylage - The quality of the haylage you take from your silo is no better than the material you put into it. Both legumes and legume grass mixtures are highest in feed value when harvested at the vegetative immature stage of growth And at this stage they are also more efficiently digested by ruminant animals If a forage mixture is to in­ clude alfalfa, cut the alfalfa when it reaches the bud to initial bloom stage The grasses will be at their peak nutritive value at this time as well. If the mixture includes no alfalfa, cut the grasses before they are fully headed. Immature forages contain high amounts of water. Therefore, they must be dried and wilted in the field before chopping for storage. But don't let the cut forage get too dry The bulk of the forage should be at 50 percent moisture when it goes into the silo Early-cut, high-quality haylage and hay provides a large share of protein, minerals, and vitamins needed by good producing cows. Therefore, less high-priced protein and mineral sup- plemnts will be needed in the grain ration. Your total costs will be lower and profits will be highter. Mobile Homeowners - Mobile homeowners, are you prepared for a severe wind storm" If not. you may be one of the 5,000 families whose mobile homes will be destroyed by wind this year. To protect yourself and your mobile home from danger during a storm, there are four factors to consider: positioning, windbreaks, shelters and tiedowns. Encourage your neighbors to tie down their mobile homes, also if they don't, their units could be blown into others during a severe storm Supplement-Beef Cattle On Pasture • Cattle usually need only salt and a phosphorus source to make good use of pasture Forages, particularly legumes, contain quite a bit of calcium but are borderline in the animal's phosphorus Most mineral mixes contain more calcium than phosphorus, but their cost is affected more by the level of phosphorus. A mineral mix of one-half trace- mineralized salt and one-half dicalcium phosphate or steamed bone meal can be used. The overall mixture contains about 13 percent - calcium and 9 percent phosphorus when the mix in­ cludes dicalcium phosphate. Grain feeding on pasture is optional for growing finishing cattle Cattle will use forage better if they graze without grain If cattle are self-fed on pasture, a heavier stocking rate can be used to ensure pasture utilization Another alternative is to include about to percent salt in a self fed mixture This will limit grain intake to about 1 percent of body weight As long as water is available, the salt won't hurt the cattle Use of implants is often overlooked in many pasture operations Sucking calves can weigh IS to 20 pounds more at weaning time if implanted with DES or Ralgro One DES pellet can usually be implanted when calves are 90 days old. but Ralgro can be used any time after birth and repeated every 100 days thereafter Breeding Soil Conditions Important For Healthy Birch Trees - A 1 cool, moist, welldrained soli is the key to growing healthy birch trees Although, birch ^ trees look good in the home landscape, some are more susceptible to borers than others, and we do have birch borers in McHenry County The Weeping and the Cutleaf Weeping European birch both have gracefully dropping branches and the Purple Splendor European and Scarlet Glory birch both have colored foliage Like most European birch, these are susceptible to borers To reduce this problem University of Illinois hor-~ ticulturists recommend planting the native River birch. This tree is more resistant to borer damage and is the only birch that tolerates wet. poorly drained or extremely dry soils STORE HOURS 1 W 1 105 Northwcsl Hi>{hwa) Mon thru Fn 10a m 9pm I r r* §• #i 1 I n \jr n^ulf 14 Saturday 9 30 a m 5pm i^rys ia i lukc I'hone 439-3120 Sunday 12 Noon 5pm * FRfcfc I'ARMMi (tokitpmnttpmu) BMU OUR MUSI N VAC-IIM 1 *rt ' t* Dm CLEAN.

' $10.00 You And Your Pet By Robert L Stear, D V M Some Thoughts About Minor Horse Injuries Minor injuries have a ten­ dency to develop into serious problems for horses Thus, horse owners should try to treat these injuries as soon as they become apparent There are five basic types of skin injuries: bruises, abrasions, incised wounds, lacerations and punctures. A bruise is a surface injury that doesn't break the akin. It may develop after a fall, kick or collision. and swelling generally develops as blood and fluid seep out of the injured tissues Often you can reduce the swelling by promptly soaking the injured area in cold water or packing it in ice The cold helps control the pain as well as the swelling The swelling may subside spon­ taneously in a day or two as the fluid is gradually resorbed. If the bruise bleeds a little or oozes fluid, it is known as an abrasion Abrasions heal more quickly when kept soft and pliable, so you may want to ask your veterinarian for an an tibiotic ointment to 'pr***"1 development of a hard scab Cuts that bleed heavily are classified as lacerations (those with torn or jagged edges) or incised wounds (those with clean edges). Obviously, the first priority with either is to control the bleeding, usually with a pressure bandage. If you can't hold the bandage firmly enough, try padding a am all rock or chunk of wood with your handkerchief, and then ban daging it over the cut with several turns of material. Once the bleeding has stopped, you can cleanse and then bandage the wound Any cut that breaks the skin should be cleaned thoroughly, with foreign matter removed and nearby hair clipped short. Hydrogen peroxide is a good disinfectant for use on horses Warm salt water (not tap water) will also do the job If you don't have peroxide or salt water, don't try to substitute iodine or a strong disinfectant like methylene blue These medications will burn tissues in an open cut and may kill tissues in some of the tender areas Deep cuts on the lower legs are especially difficult for a novice horseman to treat, and are best left for a veterinarian to handle The veterinarian will know which should be stitched and which must be left open to heal from the inside out He will also examine cuts near the joints to determine if the joint itself is injured or is losing fluid. Injuries below the knee sometimes develop "proud flesh" when the tendon is damaged In this situation, the special connective tissue between bone and muscle ' (called a tendon) is damaged and begins to grow back too rapidly, producing rubbery # surplus tissue during the healing process Your veterinarian may suggest a few applicationa of picric acid or a similar preparation to control the abnormal growth of the1 tendon Punctures - the laat type of skin injury - always require' special attention, even though they do not appear to be much ' of a threat. A puncture usually has a rather small opening at; skin level, but may extend some distance into the flesh It tends to heal first on the out-' side, creating a pocket under the skin where infection can build up and spread through the horse's body Proper treatment of a puncture includes opening up the original injury, cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide, and! leaving a bit of sterile cotton soaked in antiseptic juat inside ! the cut The cotton should be replaced each day until the cut has healed from the inside out Hie greatest danger from a puncture wound is lockjaw or tetanus. Once symptoms develop, even the moat ill* tensive treatment may no* prevent death from occurring. For this reason, a tetanus shot is often part of the treatment for a puncture injury The key to treatment for your horse is prompt attention. Not only will it speed up the healing process, but it will also decrease the chances of scar tissue forming to spoil your horses' appearance (Dr Stear regrests that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems).
