Visitors y^-Qwn °n Thursday were Mr- ana Mrs. Tom Madden of By Marie Schaettgen The VisMng Nurse The doctorsfon the staff of the McHenry hospital maintain a service which is unique in the county-- the visiting nurse. To most of us the visiting .Viurse and her activities are vague but if- ever the occasion arises when we are in need of her services we realize what a blessing she is. To qualify for this work a nurse piust be fully registered. * ' 1 Mrs. Quentin Walsh is the | nurse normally assigned to this.' duty, but, on occasion, when Mrs. Walsh is unable to majie her calls. Mrs. William R. Landin takes over temporarily. Both are highly qualified for ( the position. Both are enthusi- ! astic about it and find it interesting and s extremely re-' warding in pleasant human contacts. " Mrs. Walsh, known to all ; her co-workers and friends as Rose Ann, has been associated with, tfyr McHenry hospital since March of 1956. She has been a McHenry resident for many years and is well known here. She took her nurseJs training at the St. Therese hospital in Waukegan. She is the mother of four children, one of fhem a ,21- .^ear-old girl now a student at , Marquette college in Milwaukee, where she is studying to be a dental hygienist. Mrs. Walsh feels that her work is very satisfying in that she is able to help many who need her. Often she is called out to homes in rural areas and must frequently travel difficult onris in bad weather. Her patients must see her, as a visiting angel when she' appears < during a storm. A jeep is used | for transportation j Among the rnan.^, services i fcroughi to the hume~ patient who is unable to go to the hospital, or who needs post-surgical care after release from the hospital, are such prosaic bits as bed batn£, and Important things such as suture removal, change, of medical dressings, review of medication and drug injections. Any adverse change in' the patients condition is immediately reported to the doctor, thus enabling him to keep in close touch with the patient's condition. All of this attention to the patient selves to uplift his morale and dispel the thought that sometimes occurs to him that he is the forgotten man. 'Mrs. Landin is superintendent of nurses for the McHenry Medical Group. She* took hef nursing trai-Rmg at the Swedish" hospital, in Minneapolis and received her B. S. at the University of Minnesota, Mrs. Landin has held many executive positions in the nursing profession. She has done pablie health work for the City of Minneapolis. The rules of the Minneapolis Health department require an initial visit from the eity nurse for children and for obstetrical cases. In Chicago, Mrs. Landin was an instructor for the board of education affiliate practical nurses who came from statesponsored scl/ools of practicalnursing. She blso taught these students geriatrics nursing at the Bethany Methodist home in Chicago. Mrs. Landin lives in Ingleside. where the Landins built a home for themselves and two sons about three years ago.. She is a devotee of country living. If nurses must be dedicated people, then these two women are living proof of that dedication. Visiting nurses are truly "angels of mercy". Page Thirteen This Business Farming Regardless of the season, sortie highrmoisture corn is always brought in from the field, leaving the farmer with a decision as to how he should use it. The current harvesting season, in sum, has been about average (except in Iowa), but has been a. jumpy type^of affair giving fanners arid purveyors of storage and drying facilities some anxious * moments. It started out extremely dry, turned very wet, then - dry again. And there is "some highmoisture corn, especially for the impatient ones who weren't willing to sweat out the weather. « • So. what are' they going to do with this corn?. It is relatively non-s tor able,: it is not eligible for government price supports and is heavily discounted on the1 cash market. There has been a lot'of re- Search -on the feeding or highmoisture corn and how to convert it to good USQ -- short of drying. Studies 'at the University, of Illinois have sho\frn that corn up to 30 per cent moisture has, in some cases, equaled No. 2 corn in feeding value, but never exceeded it. When the moisture level passed 30 per cent, the rate of | gain dropped sharply as feed requirements increased. In these trails, fouf lots of ; heifers were full-fed a ration ; of .test corn, plus hay and soybean meal. The results -- three, lot's of heifers that received corn with 15, 24 and 29 | per cent<N-moisture made apr proximately the same gains of ( 19 pounds a day. Heifers receiving the .35 per cent corn 'averaged 3.51 pounds of gain. Heifers fed the low-moisture .corn required- 1,045 pounds at | a. cost of $19.85 per hundred ; pounds of gain. The requirements for the 35 per cent corn i was 1.194 pounds or a cost of ; S22.58 per hundred pounds of 1 Sain.
