"WHERE BETTER: BULLS ARE USED"
We haveused frozen semen 100% since Decem-
ber 1, 1954. The conception rate has been slightly higher
than it was before frozen semen was used,.
This new development has made it possible for
the members to use the bull of"their choice more of the
time.
Whereelse can you get as .much for your money
as by breeding your cows artificially to our :co-operatively
owned bulls.

Now Ifs s Zinc
All of us have ,had pigsthat
did not seem to do as well as
others in the pen, We all know
that the mineral content of the
ration is mighty important. If the
ration is low on zinc for in-
stance -- the consequences ,can be
disastrous.
For several years some ,hog
raisers have noted that a number
of their pigs developed a very
thick, wrinkled crusty. skin on
their legs and flanks and":some-
timed over the entire body. Then
they became stiff and -did poorly.
In, some casesthepg
pigs looked.
like they had an advancedstage
of mange..
X disease (hyperkeratosis) was
the verdict of some vets. •
But some researchers at Mich-
igan State University weren't so
sure. Chemist Richard I.eucke,
Veterinarian' Frank Thorp and
Nutritionist J. A. Hoefer did same
detective work while they waited
for some :materiais (like farm,
luibricants) that ,cause K disease
in cattle. Meanwhile some Minne-
sota researchers dubbed the' die
ease Parakatosis, •
The Michigan scientists decid-
ed that the pig disease could be
caused by •a deficiency in the ra-
tion. Then they found that 3t
could be cured with buttermilk.
So they tried various combina-
tions of minerals. And they found
the cause - lack of zinc. '.So the
reason that ,buttermilk cured the
malady: It was fed on galvanized
troughs.
Four lots of -pigs en test prov-
ed that the verdict was correet.
One lot was . fed a high mineral
ration without zinc. These pigs
developed severe skin symptoms
and gained only .54 of a pound
daily on 3.95 pounds of feed as
an average for 8 weeks.
,Another lot •was fed the same
ration with 20 parts per million
of zinc (less than one ounce of
a ton -- about 25 cents worth).
Tho�sse pigs gained 1.06 pounds
daily ;on 3.02 pounds of teed and
their skin condition was eliminat-
ed. -
A third lot got •a lower min-
eral content ration without the
zinc. Pigs here gained .91 of a
pound on 3,23 pounds of feed.
And one-third Of the pigs in this
lot developed some skin trouble.
But the fourth lot did ,best.
With the same ration as the
third pen received plus a small
amount of zinc, the pigs gained
1,25 pounds a day on 2,86 pounds
of feed. •
low, to add further proof,
the scientists have added zinc to
the ration of the lots doing the
poorest and have taken the zinc
To.Organize

Huron County Federation of
Agriculture ,plans to organize a

sociation which recently announc-
ed .plans for a promotion pro-

away from the others. The re-
searCherswant to see if .the slow
gainers can show improvement
in both gain and skincondition
when zinc is added. They also
want to see if the healthy ,pigs
slow down in gain when ,,sine Is
removed from their ration.
The investigators point out,
too, that it apparently is possible
to feed too much mineral, espec-
ially calcium, to pigs. They think
that too much calcium 'may in-
terfere with the pig's use of zinc.
