Norden Laboratories Dogs and cats who live Outdoors usually shed their hair according to nature's plan. In the spring they shed their heavy coats to make way for, lighter ones. In the fall, they shed their light coats to make way for heavier winter hair. With many indoor pets, the shedding process extends over longer periods of time. Lack of exercise, and heat from such sources as light bulbs and radiators, are among the factors thait extend shedding time. Thus some shedding goes on practically all the time, although it is more noticeable when the seasons change. It is a natural process and there is nothing you can do about it, except to wait for the heaviest shedding season to end and to keep your pet well groomed. Constant grooming during shedding will help keep pet hair off rugs and furniture. One of the keys to easy grooming is to start your pet when he is Officers said Heynis was driving south on Rt. 12 and Earle Hoff of 1427 Good, Park Ridge, was north-bound when Heynis attempted to make a left turn and was struck in the left front by the approaching auto. Both drivers sustained in­ ternal injuries, possible broken bones and lacerations. They were taken to the McHenry hospital by the Fox Lake Rescue squad. There was extensive damage to both cars. young; this will help avoid irksome obedience problems later on. Grooming equipment varies according to the coat you are dealing with. A brush with short bristles is good for short and medium-haired dogs. A brush with long bristles is better for a long-haired dog. A fine comb will do nicely for short-haired dogs. A comb with widely-spaced teeth is better for long-haired breeds. A dog's coat should first be combed carefully to remove loose hair and unravel any snarls. You should keep combing until the coat is smooth and all loose hair is removed. Once combing has evened out the coat and you have removed all foreign elements like burrs or spines (these are best removed by hand once you've found them with the comb), you are ready to use the brush. Brush in the direction you want the hair to lie, and don't substitute the brush for the comb. The brush is used mainly to keep the coat smooth and fluffy. The comb is for heavy- duty grooming work. Neutroderm, a polyun­ saturated, fatty-acid sup­ plement can be added to the diet to produce a softer, more glossy coat. As with your dog, daily brushing of a cat's coat enhances beauty, keepts it clean, helps control parasites and helps keep hair off the furniture. Grooming a long­ haired cat, however, is finished with the comb, fluffing out the fur around the head and neck. You can use your hand to smooth a short-haired cat after brushing.

He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. From The Farm During the past five years, Illinois has averaged 268 tractor accidents with sixty- two fatalities each year. Mechanical failure caused only 10 percent of these ac­ cidents. The other 90 percent were caused by tractor operator carelessness. Excessive speed on the road, careless tip-overs, operator falls, unshielded power take- offs, and improper fuel han­ dling are the main sources of tractor accidents on Illinois farms. Here are some safety tips to avoid costly tractor accidents: --Don't drive the tractor too fast to handle it safely. A tractor on the road moves slowly, compared to high-speed auto and truck traffic. -Make sure lights and flags on your tractor meet state law requirements. -Hitch loads only to the drawbar. And set three-point hitches no higher than a fixed drawbar. -Keep steps, platforms and drawbars clean and clear of tools and materials. Litter in these areas is a major cause of falls. --Shut off power-take-off units when working on them and always keep them shielded when in use. -Handle gasoline, diesel fuel, and petroleum products carefully when fueling your tractor. Don't overfill the fuel tank. -Always carry an Un­ derwriter's-Laboratory (UL) approved five-pound fire ex­ tinguisher on your tractor and know how to use it. -Stay clear of ditches, em­ bankments, steep hills, slopes, and holes. There are many points to remember when operating a tractor. But more important, the operator needs to be safety- conscious. HAY-PASTURE FIELDS If you're trying to boost your "cows-per-acre" rating, start by fertilizing established hay and pasture to boost produc­ tivity. Kentucky bluegrass can profitably use 60 to 80 pounds of nitrogen per-acre per-year. An early spring application of nitrogen is usually most ef­ ficient. Orchardgrass, smooth bromegrass, tall fescue, and reed canarygrass can use 150 to 250 pounds of nitrogen per acre per year. Split applications of 75 to 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre lengthen the productive season of the grasses and provide more uniform production from the high nitrogen rates. Legumes and legume-grass mixtures should not receive nitrogen if the legume makes up at least 30 percent of the mixture. The main objective is to maintain the legume, so the emphasis should be on phosphorus and potassium. After the legume has declined to less than 30 percent of the mixture, your objective in fertilizing is to increase the grass yield. One ton of dry matter removes about 11 pounds of phosphorus and about 50 pounds of potassium. Soils now in capacity to supply either of these nutrients will require 100 percent replacement of the nutrients removed in pasture or hay. Soils high in nutrient- supplying capacity will require only about 50 percent replacement of removed nutrients. ANTIBIOTIC WITHDRAWAL Livestock producers are famous for producing fine quality meat animals that meet nutritive requirements in our diets. Drugs and antibiotics have played an important part in maintaining animal health and improving meat production efficiency. Incorrect use of these production aids-using vaccine injections too near slaughter time or failure to observe proper withdrawal times for antibiotics-can cause con­ demnation of carcasses by meat inspectors at.the packing house. Refused carcasses represent a loss to the producer and a blow to the reputation of the livestock industry. Because there have been problems, there is now in­ creased government inspection to detect abuses. You should observe strict regulations on use of these production aids and in turn guard against such losses on your farm. QUALITY CUT Protein costs are high. But if you don't feed your hogs enough protein supplement, cost of grain may be higher than it should be. and a recent study points out that carcasses will be poorer. Pigs that received four percent less protein than they needed had almost one-tenth inch more backfat, one square- inch smaller loin eyes and 2.65 percent less lean cuts in their carcasses than hogs on adequate rations. Producing a better product at a lower cost helps pork consumption. But cutting corners by feeding inadequate rations isn't the way to do it.

Or, you may locate a flashing amber light as high as possible on the vehicle in place of the flag. Put a Slow Moving Vehicle emblem on all farm machinery even though it is not required when the owner is personally operating the vehicle. The emblem is required when the operator is a paid employee operating the vehicle on any public road. The law prohibits placing the Slow Moving Vehicle emblem on any surface or place other than a vehicle with a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour. The emblem cannot be used as a driveway marker or reflector. California Can California leads the nation in new vehicle registration with nearly 938,000 passenger cars and 200.000 trucks.
