PAGE IS - PLAINDEALER- Some left-over chemical pesticides can be saved for use next year, says George Young, University of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry county. However, you must store them properly in a safe place. Pesticides should be stored only in original containers with labels that can be read completely, says Young. Dispose of the pesticides with damaged containers and incomplete labels. Don't save empty containers for another US6. Tighten the lids on liquid containers. Paper bags and boxes containing dusts or wettable powders should be closed and resealed with tape. Or, you can store dry products - including the container-in a clean plastic bag that can be sealed. The pesticides should be placed in a storage room, chest or cabinet that can be locked, Young advises. The storage area should be away from feed •WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, supplies, foods, and medicine cabinets and safe from freezing temperatures. Liquid pesticides especially should be protected from freezing. As you place the pesticides in the storage area, keep herbicides and insecticides separate to avoid accidental "mix-ups" next spring. Don't throw containers in the garbage unless you have a regular pick-up and are certain children and animals can't get near them. And be sure to tightly close all containers before you dispose of them. Grain augers take a number of hands and feet each year. But a little extra care can greatly reduce the number of accidents with augers. George Young, University of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry county, says shielding auger inlets is a good safety precaution to protect the operator from accidentally getting a hand or foot caught in the auger. Young says that it's important to consider children when constructing auger shielding. Each year a number of children lose hands, toes or feet by getting caught in augers A typical accident involving 1974 - children begins as they rest their hands or feet on the pile of grain flowing into an auger. The downward movement of the grain carries the hand or fOot directly into the aguer. The result is traumatic amputation. A shield with one and one-half inch square openings at least four inches away from the auger and encircling the auger will not interfere witn the grain flow and will prevent such accidents, Young says. , While checking augers, make sure all PTO and belt shields are properly installed and in good condition, Young advises. And remember, safety is no accident. It takes hard work. HOUSEIN FOR DAIRY CALVES Housing is an important consideration for young dairy calves, said Art Muelhing, University of Illinois Agricultural engineer at the recent Calf Housing seminar held in Woodstock. The house should protect the calf from the weather and be built so that moisture produced by calves is removed from the building without creating drafts. You should keep in mind that small calves produce much less moisture than older, larger animals, Muelhing explained. Therefore, it is much easier to design an adequate ventilation system for a smpll,building that is used only for young calves. Old chicken or hog houses can sometimes be converted into excellent calf barns. There are two types of good calf buildings, he continued. It can be a cold, open building or a warm, closed one where you control the environment. Either type will work well for young calves when properly designed. A cold, open building has some portion, usually on the south or east side, open at all times. The other three sides are tight. The inside temperature is only slightly above the outside temperature. Young calves do well in open buildings if they are protected from drafts and have a clean, dry bed. And open buildings are usually cheaper to construct A warm, enclosed building must be well insulated, adequately ventilated, and equipped with some means of supplemental heat to help remove moisture, said Muelhing. Warm buildings may offer labor-saving features like elevated stalls or free stalls with gutter cleaners, greater work comfort for the operator, and higher animal capacity for a given floor space. And animals may have a slicker hair coat when housed in a warm environment during the winter months. Exhaust fans should be controlled with a combination timer-thermostate to provide some air movement at all times, he continued. If you can, it's much better to have two or more smaller fans than one larger one. During cold weather, you may need to provide supplemental heat, Muelhing concluded The amount needed will vary with different buildings, but as a general rule, you should provide about 1,000 BTU's per hour for each calf.

A "Good Farming Recipe" developed back in 1951 by University of Illinois Professor Emeritus M.L. Mosher is still useful, says George Young, University of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry county. The specifics of the recipe have changed but the basics remain the same, he adds. Here is Mosher's "Good Farming Recipe Mix together generous portions of the following ingredients, season with love of farm life and cook over the slow fire of expereince.

You should wait until the corn kernels are hardened and well dented, and most of the lower leaves are brown. Young emphasizes that this is especially important this year because of the wide variation in the time of maturity of corn. Both dry matter and the total feed-nutrient yield per acre increase as the corn plant matures. Total tonnage may be higner early in the season, but much ot this weight is water The ear makes up a larger amount of the entire corn plant as n matures -- causing an increase in the silage energy value. Cows don't like hig moisture, immature corn silage, Young s continues. Voluntary silage intake generally increases in almost direct proportion to the silage dry-matter content until it reaches 35 percent. At this stage, the highest field-nutrient yields per acre are obtained and silo losses are lowest. If you plan to add urea to your corn silage, it's even more important to have mature corn. High silo losses may occur if silage is too green. But, silage may also be too mature and dry for best results with urea treatment. Never add urea to corn silage as late as mid November, as such silage may be unpalatable to dairy cattle. You can make satisfactory corn silage from late fall to mid-winter when the corn plant has been fully matured for some time, concludes Young. But, because of possible high field losses and lower palalability, harvest should not be delayed except in cases of extreme roughage shortage. r , •••' Bicycling Safety Tips Bicycling has once again emerged as an efficient means of trans­ portation, as well as a form of recreation. With more and more people pedalling to their destinations, the increased number of bikes on the road has resulted in a rise in cycling accidents. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission lists bikes as the most hazardous product it monitors. Out of the 372,000 bike injuries a year, 38,000 result from collisions or grazes with autos, trucks and buses. Others are caused by problems with the bikes themselves -- poor braking, feet slipping off pedals and component failure. A lot of accidents could be avoided if the cyclist simply followed the same rules as in automobile driving, plus a few extras. For better control, always ride a bike that fits you. Your feet should rest on the bottom pedal when the pedals are in the six o'clock position, while you are sitting on the saddle. Also, know how well your brakes work in rain, mud and slush. While riding in cities and towns, always move with the traffic. When on a one-way street, keep to the left to avoid buses wheeling in and out of lanes. Also, be alert to parked cars with drivers sitting inside. You may find a door opening just as you're pedalling past. It's best to keep off high traffic streets and avenues and to avoid roads carrying fast moving trucks. Their wind blast could send you sprawling. With a little caution, bicycling can be a safe means of transpor­ tation, as well as fun. If you're not an experienced cyclist, though, take time to build up your wind and legs before you race somewhere. New Decay Fighter Good news for parents, and youngsters, came recently in the form of an announcement from the Institute of Dental Research in Philadelphia. The Institute says a new decay-preventative can be eas­ ily applied^to teeth to smooth rough surfaces and prevent decay. In a recent test involving Montana children the new application was found to be more effective than flouride. The adhesive sealant was found still effective two years after application--in the Montana test. And in the same ex­ periment a single application of the new sealant was ef­ fective in preventing tooth decay in almost seven out of ten children. t Added to news that federal researchers are about to an­ nounce another decay-preventing discovery for children-a chewing gum which contains a harmless chemical that fights tooth decay--the battle against cavities which has gone on for centuries seems about to be won, for children at least KOENEMANN Country Made Sausages, Hams and Bacon GERMAN IMPORTS AND CHEESES A Full Line Of Delicatessen Just east of Rt. 12 a 815 385-6260 VOLO
