SECTION 2 - PAGE 12 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29,1964 Nutrition important in swine herd About one-fourth to one-thirtf of the total feed cost involved in pork production goes toward maintaining the breeding herd. In order to realize maximum profits, therefore, proper feeding of the sow herd is essential. Of course, there are other benefits to proper nutrition, including reduced embryo mortality, improved reproductive efficiency, in­ creased longevity within the herd, and the prevention of developmental problems in the offspring. During gestation, sows require nutrients for main­ tenance and development of the litter. Gilts have an additional requirement for growth and development. Generally, sows and gilts can be fed as little as 3 to 4 pounds per head daily of a nutritionally adequate diet during the prebreeding, breeding, and gestation periods without adverse effect on reproductive performance. During extremely cold weather, however, bred females need 1 to 2 pounds more feed per day to provide the additional energy for staying warm. The (EXTENSION) People flMml with processing, handling, and storing the feed. The vitamins that are deficient in corn- soybean meal blends are vitamins A, D, and perhaps E, and the B-complex vitamins including riboflavin, pantothenic acid, niacin, B-12, and choline. These should be supplemented by means of a vitamin premix or included in a complete protein supplement. Two recent large sow ex­ periments have demonstrated that litter size is improved by feeding supplemental choline during gestation. As a result of these studies, the recommended level of choline has been in­ creased. Calcium and phosphorous are extremely important for skeletal growth and bone strength. During gestation, sufficient amounts of these elements must be provided for fetal development. Generally, calcium levels required for reproduction are about one and a half times the required phosphorus levies. The needs for salt, iodine, iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, potassium, zinc, and cobalt may be met in part by natural feedstuffs in the ration. However, supplemental zinc and 10 grams of iodized salt should be provided for each animal daily. Producers also need to make sure that bred sows and gilts have access to an unlimited supply of fresh water at all times.

HISTORY CELEBRATION' The whole family will enjoy a nostalgic return to yesteryear during the Turn of the Century Day celebrated from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday,Sept.9 in the historic village of Long Grove. The free day of fun and en­ tertainment honors the original German settlers who founded the village in 1838. The National Research Council lists the daily protein requirement for both bred sows and gilts at 0.48 pounds, with a daily metabolizable energy intake of 5,760 kilocalories. Four pounds per head daily of a 12 percent protein diet adequate in minerals and vitamins will meet this requirement. It would take 3 pounds of a 16 percent protein diet to provide the recom­ mended level. With the increasing interest in maintaining breeding herds in confinement and the continued emphasis on restricted feeding of bred sows and gilts, producers need to make sure their animals receive adequate vitamins during gestation. Most suggested vitamin allowances for bred sows and gilts provide a margin of safety because they are based on one and a half to two times the reported requirements. This is to cover vitamin losses that could occur NEW LIFETIME VEHICLE PROTECTION WARRANTY AT ZIEBART!

One of the best ways to save money on energy costs is to make improvements on your home that will help you use less energy. One of the easiest and most worthwhile things you can do is minimize your heating and cooling loss by caulking and weatherstripping. t * If you live in a typical homeand install caulking and weatherstripping. you can trim your energy cost for heating by up to $40 per year. You'll recover your investment in two years or less, and after that it's money in the bank. Caulking and weatherstripping your house requires a minimum of tools, time and know-how. Even not-so-handy homeowners can easily handle this job. You use caulk to plug air leaks outside and weatherstripping inside to seal the openings around doorways and windows. "LET'S TALK CAULKING" First, survey your house from the outside. Look for gaps in the exterior walls where you need caulk. Note any missing or sun dried caulk especially on the south side of your house. Here's where to look: • Around all window and door-frames • Around exhaust fan outlets (bath, kitchen or laundry) • Around window air conditioners • Around holes cut for hose faucet, wires and pipes • Around the chimney • Around lighting fixtures • Where masonry and siding meet. Caulk is a flexible sealant designed to fill cracks and gaps in fixed joints of a house. One tube will fill about 25 feet of a narrow '/»" crack or two small windows. In home centers and hardware stores you'll find a variety of caulks to choose from, but don't let that scare you. Ordinary latex caulk is easy to use and cleanup, and a good bet for the first time user. Silconized caulk is more expensive, but it lasts considerably longer. If you can afford to use a better grade of caulking you won't have to re-do the job every few years. Check the label to see if the caulk can be painted, how long it takes to dry. the type thinner recommended for cleanup and what the temperature requirements are. Don't forget to purchase a caulk gun, unless you purchase caulk Push the tube away from you that comes in pressurized cans. Caulk guns usually cost only a few dollars. • Clean out the joint thoroughly and let dry. • Cut the tube tip off at a 45 degree angle making a '/»" opening. HI With the tube in the gun. break the seal with a nail. Hi Place the nozzle in the crack and squeeze the trigger while pushing the tube away from you to fill the gap. H Fill deep cracks with several beads of caulk. •I Clean up immediately and put a nail in the tube nozzle to save for re-use. WEATHERSTRIPPING-- THE INDOOR SOLUTION Weatherstripping is the hest way to stop air leaks. To detect hidden drafts inside, make your own distress flag by taping a piece of tissue to a pencil. On a breezy day use this detector to fi.nd air leaks by holding it near window sills and doorways. II the tissue moves, you've located a spot that needs weatherstripping. Here's where to look for drafts: • Around all, windows and door frames • Space around pulleys in double-hung windows • At electrical wall outlets and switches in exterior walls • Around heating registers. Weatherstripping comes in many forms. For instance there are threshold weatherstripping materials designed to fill the gap between the bottom of a door and floor. For doors and windows, there's spring metal or brass weatherstripping that's inexpensive and effective. Self-adhesive plastic As a handy temporary sealer you can use caulking rope or cord. For electrical outlets and light switches, low cost foam rubber gaskets can be used to seal gaps. And. in your garage molded stripping is available to seal your garage door. Installation is easy and you'll find instruc­ tions with each of these products. Metal weather- stripping is easily cqt with a heavy scissors or tin snips. Plastic is cut with a knife^ar scissors. Before applying adhesive-backed weatherstripping. clean the surface behind the glue for maximum grip. NOW'S THE TIME. Now's a perfect time to get to work on projects like ^aulking and weatherstripping. So why not start now? It'll be money in your pocket, when next winter rolls around.
