My 16-year-old son has lost his way. He will not go to school, will not work, stays out late at night. He is on the wrong path, seems determined to destroy himself. I've tried everything with him, and I pray for a miracle. Can you give me any advice? A. One thing that suggests itself is that your love mu9t also be tough. Kindly but firmly let your son know that his time of dependency is drawing to an end. In the meantime try to get to some of the causes of his problem. Check for any possible physical problem. Find out who his friends are and get to know them. Talk to former teachers and others who may know how all this started. For lack of en­ couragement some young people are convinced of their "dumbness" and then run away from anything that might "show them up." Look into yourself as well. Are you locked into a pattern of disapproval? Emphasize your son's positive qualities. He surely has some. Believe in him. Make a careful, objective study of him to find out his chief interest. Then take whatever steps possible to get him in­ volved in that interest. Finally, image him in your mind fes an alive, well-focused personality. Such imaging often becomes factual. At Her Wit s End With Ego- Maniac Husband Q. I am truly at my wit's end! We celebrated our thirty- second wedding anniversary last summer, and I've reached the point where I want freedom from human bondage. Maybe you can tell me how a man can be so insecure that he has to be the center of attention just exactly like a child. The more I give the more he takes. He's domineering and possessive. He either won't admit to weaknesses or genuinely believes he doesn't have any. What do I do with an ego­ maniac like this? Is there such a thing as a man's inability to feel and show his wife real tender love? Do I deserve a break after these many years? I'm sick of it all and want to do the right thing. Please give me some of your fine wisdom. A. As a suggestion, sit down with a large sheet of paper and a pencil. Write down every good thing you can think about your husband. Go back over the years and add them up. We think you will be sur­ prised at how many there are. It seems as though you have built him up as a monster. Start treating him. not as a monster, but as a human being who has some needs. Else he would not act as he does. You can get a great deal of satisfaction in working with this human problem in a thoughtful, prayerful manner. Don't think you have to change him. Just undergird his weaknesses with your stengths He will love you devotedly because of your understanding. Your rewards will far over­ shadow your frustrating ex­ periences. Perhaps you would like to find an answer for yourself to a problem that you can share with others in THERE'S AN ANSWER! If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care ff Box 550, Pawling, NY., 12564. PUNCH LINE YOU AND YOUR PET By Robert L. Stear, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Service* Norden Laboratories A WISE MAN SENDS A WOMAN 24 ROSES ON HER. 25" , BIRTHDAY! EJ RABIES IN EXOTIC PETS The World Health Organization suggests - and most veterinarians agree - that "the taking of animals from the wild should be discouraged." However, many animals are being domesticated today, and it is important to keep in mind that they have definite health needs. Like other pets, these animals need proper food, shelter and regular veterinary care. Vaccination against rabies is an important part of medical care for exotic pets. Rabies is a viral disease capable of in­ fecting any warm-blooded animal, and almost all warm­ blooded pets should, as a preventive measure, be vac­ cinated. Vaccination of exotic pets should be done with caution since they do not always respond uniformly to vaccines designed for use on domesticated animals. Your veterinarian will explain why only inactivated forms of rabies vaccine should be used. Some owners of exotic pets argue that a quarantine period proves their pet is rabies-free and that indoor living will prevent the pet from ever being infected. This is not true. Rabies has an uncertain and sometimes lengthy incubation period. Studies have shown that the virus may take anywhere from 15 to 285 days before it reaches the brain and causes recognizable symptoms. A bite on a pet's back leg by a rabid animal would introduce the virus at a great distance from the brain, causing a lengthy incubation period. Even certified capture of a very young animal cannot guarantee a rabies-free pet. Wild animals as young as six weeks of age have been known to contract the disease from an infected mother. You should note that the term "exotic pet'; is not limited to animals imported from abroad. I HORNSBYS fami ly centers - Mmm mmmm mmmtf •XvK HSftfiSR PRICES IN EFFECT WED, APR. 20 thru SUN.

CLB RD, WOODSTOCK HORNSBYs ^ fami ly centers - OPEN DAILY 9 «• 9 OPEN SUNDAY 10 to 4 A number of native American animals including the skunk, fox and raccoon are included in this category because they have not been domesticated through long association with man, and because they are never really at home in cap­ tivity. For any pet, the most com­ mon sign of rabies is not the generally assumed foaming of the mouth, but a radical change in behavior. Pets that are normally quiet and timid may spring out to attack family members and strangers alike. Afflicted animals also develop strange eating habits and try to swallow sticks, stones and other small foreign objects. Sometimes rabies causes a type of paralysis of the throat, and the pet will appear to be choking on a bit of food. A cat in this condition may lose its voice and cry in a rather hoarse tone. Since it is almost impossible to keep an animal indoors all the time, any pet that hunts or stalks other animals should have a current rabies vac­ cination. The vaccination will safeguard the pet, should it encounter a rabid animal and get bitten in the process. • .jt Dr. Stear regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. Extension Comments (By George J. Young, Extonsion Advisor, McHonry County, Unlvorsity of Illinois) 1977 Farm Visit Day Set Farm Visit day in 1977 will be held on Sunday, June 26. Last June, six counties held a farm "open house" on eighteen commercial farms across northern Illinois, the fifth consecutive year for this program. Over 10,000 city persons, particularly families with children, took advantage of this opportunity to learn how food is produced and livestock raised by modern farming methods. McHenry county hosts this year are Norman and Lillian Heinrich, Crystal Lake, and Bob and Martha Stoxen, Harvard. Mark this date on the calendar and watch for more details. Marketing The questionnaire filled out by the forty participants in the Price Forecasting and Sales Management series have been summarized. They evaluated the five sessions with high ratings and asked for more sessions. A monthly outlook update via telenet is offered at the office. This is on the fourth Monday of each month, 1:15 to 3 p.m. Everyone is invited to par­ ticipate. This is an opportunity to hear Tom Hieronymus and his team's comments and to ask them questions. Also, through the cooperation of Dave Cash, A.G. Edwards, Woodstock; Bob Seegers, Seegers Grain, Ridgefield, and Don Barrett, McHenry County college, Crystal Lake; the service hopes to offer a com­ mercial commodity speaker and a tour of the Chicago Board of Trade this summer. Soils Workshop A two session soils workshop is scheduled for June. It will look at and discuss properties of the ten major soil types in the county. There will be profiles of these ten soil types for par­ ticipants to use as teaching aids in classrooms. This workshop should interest producers as well as teachers. This is a cooperative offering from the office and the junior college. Pesticide Containers So-called "empty" pesticide containers are not really empty. They still contain small amounts of pesticide even after rinsing. Rinse all empty con­ tainers, regardless of /their * type, three times before disposal. Dump . rinse Water into the spray tank. {Cinse . water must not be dumped on the ground. Empty pesticide containers that have been triple rinsed and crushed or punctured can be taken to most sanitary landfills throughout Illinois. The local landfill operator can tell whether or not he will accept empty pesticide containers. Rinsed containers still have small amounts of residues in them and should not be used for livestock feed, water troughs or raft floats. They could cause livestock poisoning or water contamination. Hogs Dick Carlisle, University of Illinois swine specialist presented a program recently in Woodstock. He shared ob­ servations of the U.S. Swine industry he made on his recent sabbatical. The McHenry-Lake Pork producers co-sponsored this meeting with the office. The pork producers presented Carlisle with a plaque recognizing his twenty-nine years of service to Illinois hogmen. Oat Plot Seeded The McHenry county oat variety demonstration plot was seeded April 1. This variety plot is located on the Bob and Earl Hughes farm near Woodstock. A twilight meeting is planned for July. Soil Fumigant Dr." Berry Jacobson, University of Illinois "Plant pathologist is conducting soil fumigant research on Leonard Schultz's farm near Woodstock. Five materials were applied April 7. A twilight meeting is planned for late August or early September. Energy Meeting May 25 is the date for the northern Illinois* energy con­ servation and utilization of solar energy in agriculture meeting. This session is planned for DeKalb and should interest builders, contractors and suppliers.
