*1 Thursday, March 5, 1959 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER IWlllHiHtl J!l'|i|t 'li'tii<l|'li|i| |!| t III IIMIilllii i i The Page fire * Great Outdoors By Jack Walati Milium 111 Kill I ill Ml |>lii it 11111II1111 > 11 This winter has really been a rough one and many of the lakes in our area are expected to have suffered a "winter-kill" of fish. In the winter, when the lakes are completely covered with i<$0 production of oxygen must come from water plants under the ice. Plant growth will continue as long as sunlight is available. Under a clear ice condition, sunlight can penetrate into the water sufficiently to maintain plant growth and its resultant oxygen production, which is absolutely necessary for the fish to maintain ttoir normal respiration and nWabolism. As we all know, the overabundance of snow we experienced this year permitted very little sunlight to penetrate the ice. Lakes especially susceptible to "winter-kill" are usually shallow and fertile with mucky, highly organic bottoms. Now we are not trying to say tj£t all the fish in all the shallow lakes are dead, but there is no doubt that Old Man Winter has taken its toll. To prove that not all the fish are dead, we have some report ss of very good catches in Channel Lake and Petite Lake. Things have been at low ebb at Meyer's Bay and all over Pistakee Lake, but we can expoct a lot of action just before tra ice goes out. Good luck and good fishing.

I From the Wauconda Leader I comes the news that Frank B. Martin, following the example ! of four other members of his family, who have wedded with- , in a year, took to himself a [ wife Monday, February the I twenty-second, the bride being Mrs. Cuddy of Chicago. The Bachelor Girls enjoyed the hospitality of Miss Myrtilla Stewart at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Simes. last Thursday evening, when an interesting program was presented by members. By special request, Mrs. H. M. Chuharoff favored with two well-rendered solos. An irate citizen says that hereafter he wants the editor to mind his own business. My dear Christian friend, did you ever reflect, in your contemplative moments, when the moon is beaming, when the whippoorwill sings in the tree, when the hired man snores in the loft, the yellow dog sleeps on the lea and the mosquito gets in his work--did you ever reflect in such times upon the idea that a paper containing only accounts of the editor's own private business would prove monotonous to the general public. They might stand it for a while, but in the end it would be a thorn in the side and a weariness to the flesh and all that sort of thing. No, brother, the true editor's busi iness is to make everybody's J business. That's business. So 1 there's no use in making a ; chronic kicker of yourself for I anyone. FORTY YEARS AGO Taken from the files of i Feb. 27, 1919 j A pretty wedding took place | at St. Mary's church on Wed- • nesday morning, when Miss j Katherine Freund, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin S.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Mrs. Mary Miller, 85 years old, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Theodore Kaeiin, Friday, Feb. 23. D£ath resulted from pneumonia, which developed following a fall in which she sustained a fractured hip the week before. Frank Smith, one of the oldest residents of this vicinity, observed his eighty-ninth birthday on Wednesday, Feb. 28. at the home of his daughter. Mrs M. J. Freund. Taken from the files of March 1, 1934 This Business - Farming McHenry Was on the edge of a snowstorm that swept the central west Saturday night and Sunday with about an inch of snuw reported as near as F.igin. Six to eighty inches were reported in Springfield and in Centralia they had the heaviest snowfall in four years. Zero weather has been recorded here every night for more than a week and a new low for February has been established. Sister Mary St. Bride (Margaret Sutton) 53 years old. of Mary Queen of Heaven parish, Cicero, died Friday morning at St. Joseph's Health resort, Wedron, 111, after a lingering illness. The Peter W. Freund farm home, west of McHenry, burned to the ground Wednesday forenoon, as the family was packing in readiness to move to the John R. Smith farm. The fire, which started under the roof, completely destroyed the house but the furniture, which was packed for moving, was saved. Dairy cows go for and do well on high moisture corn providing it is not too wet. That's the conclusion reached by dairy and agricultural engineering research at the Michigan Agricultural experiment si at ion after one year's test. Scientists Charles Lassiter compared dried corn and wet corn containing vary amounts of moisture in the form of ground shelled" corn, shelled whole corn and ground ear corn. The high moisture corn was stored in a conventional upright concrete silo and was sealed on top "with a sheet of plastic. In noting results, s Lassiter reports, "Butterfat production of the cows in the groups stayed about the same. Milk production, however, did vary and cows fed the corn containing the most moisture dropped the most in production. During the 112-day feeding j trial, milk production for the ! cows on dried corn declined 29 'percent; cows on ground shelled corn which contained 26 per cent moisture went down 24 1 percent in milk production. The group on ground shelled corn containing 40 percent moisture dropped 46 percent in milk production and the cows on ground ear corn declined 36 percent in milk production. "As of now," Lassiter summarizes. "it looks like a moisture content of between 25 and 35 percent appears to be about the best for feeding to dairy cows." The researcher also checked <o see how much of the high moisture corn passed through the cows without being digested. Almost none of the whole shelled corn pass. Cows got the best batches of wet corr. in winter and heat of the summer. They lapped it up without hesitation. A second test is underway this year. Scientists a che6king ear corn put up at the same moisture content and will compare it with shell corn. j There is no law of God or I : man which suggests that j • wealthy criminals should not j I pay the full penalty jfor their I ! crimes.
