HORSE ROUND-UP What started out to be an uneventful trip to McHenry and Crystal Lake to ex­ change Christmas presents, led my two boys Chuck and Pat and myself to be in­ volved in the round-up of three horses. First, we saw a horse sauntering out of his fenced- in corral through some broken boards into the back yard of Dusty's. That smell of pizza must have been tantalizing him for some time and he finally got the chance to get a little closer to check it out. After pulling into the owner's yard and telling them where to And the horse, we again started on our way down Barnard Mill road, about, the for dihner what to ot the horse won- laughing going out When what to our dering eyes should a( two more horses down the road heading for Ringwood! They had seen enough grass in their day, so they were sticking to the ' pavement and right in the middle. We again turned around to tell the owner where the other two horses were. After getting a truck she said she would be on her way. We headed back on our route again, this time finding several cars stopped, a sheriffs car directing traffic and one of the lK<rses under the control of a gentleman passer-by. The second horse decided it was getting a little congested on this: thorough­ fare, so he took off across an open field. After watching him make tracks across that fieid, we decided he should be entered in the Kentucky Derby! The owner arrived in a truck and along with the Sheriffs Deputy, they drove around to McCullom Lake road to hopefully head the horse off at the pass. We never did find out if he was caught, but it sure did give us something to talk about as the ending of 1961 year western round-up style!!

(By Brian Sager, Ex­ t ens ion Adv i ser , Agriculture, McHenry County.) Cold winter weather means stress to beef cows. As a result, they need a little extra energy to develop unborn calves normally and stay in good condition for lactation and breeding. - Energy requirements* for beef cows can be measured as pounds of total digestible nutrients (TON) needed per day. On the average, an 1,100 pound beef cow in late pregnancy requires 10 pounds of TON per day. That amount, however, is recommended for cows in average body condition not suffering from cold weather stress. Thin cows may need 20 percent more TON to improve in condition. Typical TON contents for hay of good, average, and pear condition are 88 per­ cent, 50 percent and 45 percent respectively. Dry corn stover that includes an abundance of shucks and leaves may have 45 percent TON, but low quality stover and soybean residue may have only 40 percent or less TDN. The dry matter in corn silage has about 70 percent TON, while No. 2/Corn has 80 percent TON. Since cold weather stress increases a cow's need for energy, producers are en­ couraged to increase the TON by one percent for each degree of effective tem­ perature below 30 degrees F. This may be accomplished by providing more feed or better quality feed during cold, windy weather. The effective temperature is the temperature adjusted for the wind-chill factor. Sheltered cattle which are protected from the wind are subject only to air • tem- peraturevjK)t the effective temperature. -- Although the TON allowance can be increased only a limited amount with added hay, cows can stand short periods of cold stress when feeds do not supply all the energy they need. Prolonged periods of low energy intake during cold weather, however, may be detrimental to unborn calves and have negative effects on a cow's lactation and breeding capabilities.

It's not a complicated rule to live by. In fact it's almost fun when you don't worry about vitamins, fibers, protein and the like. Take yogurt for example. If I had to rely on just the name or how it looks I wouldn't like yogurt. But after giving it the taste test I decided to disregard its looks and like it anyway. It was only afterward that I learned it was nutritious. Now broccoli is different. I've tasted broccoli before and that's why I know it's not for me. A lot of people like broccoli and I'll even go so far as to say it looks nice growing in the gar den... but not mine. Since this is a column box of your favorite laundry detergent with that of a smaller size£alad dressing is another good item to look at. Check the cost-per-serving with the large jumbo size jar of salad dressing and that of a smaller jar. The larger sizes may be more ex­ pensive. The reason is simple: the demand for the largest size of many products is not high so it costs the manfacturer more to produce the goliath size. Check out the cost per ounce or the cost per serving in­ formation usually available on the shelf. Shelf life is another im­ portant item. Usually marked on the can or the carton are dates when the product should be used by to assure maximum freshness. You may not want to shop for food on an empty Eels' Meeting Place The eel remains a slippery character, so elusive that many details of its lifestyle are still unknown. Scientists think they have found the eels' annual mating spot in the Sargasso Sea, a vast body of water in-the western North Atlantic.

Fresh fruits and vegetables- when in season - - are at their peak in quality and are often low cost because of the abundance. Reduce the amount of perishable items you buy to the quantity that can be used by the family while still fresh. Experiment a little bit. Try out lower priced brands or food with a generic label (no brand name). The taste may satisfy you as well or better than the more ex­ pensive brands. The money you can save will surely satisfy you. The more foods that you cook for yourself and the less convenience foods or ready to eat foods that you use will save you additional money. It will take a little more time to prepare them but the savings will offset any in­ convenience. Compare the cost per ounce of the super-king size if the store seems to look good if your're hungry. Check the specials in the paper and clip coupons. A lot of people use powdered milk-non-fat dry milk instead of whole milk in cooking recipes or for drinking. Nutrition-wise it is as sound as whole milk and you have the added ad­ vantage of being able to _ prepare only the amount you * ** need, plus your coats can be reduced by half or more. ,, Remember...meals can be inexpensive and still be well- balanced and supply the nutrients you need for good health. 815-344-3640 (If No Answer) 312-658-3696 4302 W.
