West McHenry Unique Research Prejeet A Yale university graduate Student has completed a 90.000 mile trip through Latin America 'collecting thousands of soil ssmples that may yield new disease-curing drugs. Richard A. Benedict, of Brooklyn, N. Y., the graduate student, made the field trip ss part of a unique research project now being conducted by Paul R- Burkholder. professor Of botany at Yale. The project was inspired by Professor Burkholder's discovery last year of the mold which makes the drug Chloromycetin. The mold was found in a sample of Venezuelan soil, and Chloromycetin has proved to be the first drug effective in combating such diseases as typhus and typhoid fever. This discovery opened up the possibilities of finding other new antibiotics in the soil, and the Yale project was started. JreaHirelaiu/ nuMOMt /;/ i/, s Why Dog Turns The modern dog has many of the instincts of its wild apcestors. When a dog lies down, even in a room, he turns around a few times. This dates back to the days when the dog made himself a bed in the tall grass. The dog turned around so that he could lie on a bed of trampled grass and be protected by the tall grass growing around him. Blizzard Bts CassalHts May Rssalt IR Crap Last Because the honeybee is so Immaculately clean. Rocky mountain blizzard-area farmers may stand to lose thousands of dollars this growing season. This possibility is advanced by Dr. George M. list, head of the department of entomology at Colorado A&M college. He points out the bee loss could mean a greater economic factor than the financial blitz the blizzards wreaked on the stockman. Several factors can cause extensive death-loss of honeybees during cold weather. Dr. List points out One is due to the nstural cleanliness of the bee. Honeybees eliminate body wastes while flaring outside the hive, he says. If snow drifts over the hive aiul the bees sre unable to make these cleansing flights, they die, Dr. List adds. Snow-bound hives also may cause -the-bets to suffocate. The long period of cold weather also means s heavier drain on the stored honey which is used as food. If the beekeeper took more than his share of honey from the hive last fall, or anticipated a normal winter, his bees may starve because of a lack of honey. Bees are inactive during cold periods and if unable to fly to eliminate wastes during a lengthy low temperature period, death will result Extreme cold causes the bees to cluster in a compact mass to keep warm. If this cold occurs over an extended period the insects cannot move around sufficiently in the hive to feed on the honey, even if it is available. Once there was an Englishman, Lord Pepperstickle, by name, who" had a splendid, flock of roosters which he had trained with loving care unti) they had Become the best fighting roosters in the British Isles. One day, as he walked around his estate, he found that one of his hired men had put all the roosters in the same pen, and all (of them were dead, lying in a \pool of blood and feathers. R o a r e d L o r d P e p p e r s t i c k l e : "Gad, man, whatever induced you to put all my roosters together in one pen? Didn't you know they'd fight each other?"

McHENRY Saitshint and Fresh Air Help Chicks te Feather "Chicks that get outside ^arly feather faster, and the sunshine and fresh air make them rugged and better able to take It' when the going gets rough," says Irving J. Mork. at North Dakota agricultural college extensionrservice. Mork recommends the use of a sunporch for chicks, pointing eui that a wire-floored, screened sunporch makes the Job of raising chicks £nd poults easier. Howover, he adds, the primary pur* poMi of the sunporch is sanitation.. You can put your chicks on the -sunporch Just as soon as they learn the location of their heat, feed and water. Chicks can be let out on the sunporch on days when they could not otherwise be out They may not stay out very W»g but the exercise in the cool, fresh air will do a lot in helping to control such tad habits as feather picking and cannibalism. Also, the sunshine supplies additional vitamin D for the young birds. Five advantages in favor of the sunporch tor chteks are listed by Mork: 1. Fuel is saved as the chicks gel used to cold. 2.'Less labor Is needed because with a sunporch you can keep your brooder house in the farmyard where it Is handier to care for the chicks. 3. Losses of chicks through farmyard accidents are prevented. 4. When it rains. Just tap on the porch and the chicks go inside. 5. Sanitation is easier, as the chicks are kept off the ground and away from diseases and parasites Bats Net Blind have eyes and with them they can see fairly well.
