Valuable Information At Equine Conference The Equine Conference on March 4 and 5 is a chance for horse owners and breeders to pick up valuable information about their horses, especially relating to reproduction, says David \ Plocher, McHenry County Extension adviser.

Horse owners know that getting a quality foal depends on more than just bringing a mare and stallion together and hoping for the be*t And plenty of pointers will be available at the Equine Conference from knowledgeable veterinarians and prominent businessmen as to what needs to be done in an effective reproduction program. Speakers will discuss stallion management, foal care, hereditary diseases, management of a breeding operation, artificial in­ semination, and many more areas that relate to reproduction In addition, other topics of general interest to the horse owner will be discussed, in­ cluding parasitology, corrective shoeing, pastures and forages, and fitting a young horse for shows or sales.

Thomp­ son proposed legislation last week that would boost the state's economy and add to the new jobs that have been brought into the state since he has been in office. "Under this legislation, the sales tax will be lifted for manufacturing equipment or machinery at new or expanded facilities," Thompson said. At this time Illinois is the only midwestern state that has such a tax, said Thompson.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD YOU AND YOUR PET By Robert L. Stear, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories MANGE - A MAJOR SKIN PROBLEM FOR PETS Mange is a form of skin irritation caused by small eight-legged creatures called mites. Two types of mange common in cats and dogs are demodectic mange or "red mange" and sarcoptic mange or scabies. Pets develop mite in­ festations when their resistance is low. Poor diet, intestinal worms, even stress caused by rapid growth in young animals, allow mange mites to establish a colony under the skin. A well- nourished pet, free from in­ testinal worms, can best resist attacks from mites and similar organisms. Red mange is more difficult to treat because the mites live in the follicles-deep, narrow passages where individual hairs emerge from the skin. As the young mites develop, they absorb nutrient material from the blood and cause individual hairs to drop out. Infected cats and dogs typically show bald spots under the eyes, on the forehead and on the front legs. The skin reddens, and may thicken and wrinkle, thus the name "red mange". At one time, red mange was almost impossible to control in puppies and kittens. Some infected animals were even destroyed to prevent the mange from spreading through ken nels" and catteries. Today modern oil-based ointments effectively penetrate the skin follicles to eliminate these mites \ Sarcoptic mange is identified by an itchy, scaly skin con­ dition not seen in red mange. Short red raised lines indicate where the female mites have tunneled under the skin to lay their eggs. Scabs caused by the* pet s scratching are also common, hence the term scabies. Sarcoptic mange also causes hair loss in cats and dogs, sometimes almost to the point of baldness. It spreads more rapidly than demodectic mange, and imparts a characteristic musky odor to the pet's fur. Treatment for scabies in eludes repeated applications of a sulphur-containing ointment or other insecticide. Bedding used for a mange-infected animal must be changed regularly until the infection is completely gone. Strict sanitary procedures are necessary when dealing with this sort of parasitic in­ fection Mites causing mange can be passed on to humans. Wear gloves or disinfect your hands after you bathe your pet or apply medication Infected animals should not be per­ mitted close contact with children until treatment is completed Pregnant females should be examined and treated for mites so the parasites will not be tran­ sferred to newborn offspring. Dr Stear regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems MFT FUNDS McHenry county received $82,648.80 as its monthly share of motor fuel tax fund paid into the State Treasury during January, according to the Illinois Department of Tran­ sportation. The amount allocated is computed on the basis of motor vehicle registration fees collected in the county. JOBS FOR ILLINOIS Gov. James Thompson told members of the U.S. Senate Budget Committee that the federal government's first priority should be the same as Illinois' --creation of jobs in the private sector. In a review of President Carter's budget proposals to date, Thompson praised the suggested liberalization of the investment tax credit, lowering of the federal unemployment in­ surance tax rate, an end to the telephone service excise tax and paring of corporate tax rates. i AND. . . .
