The carbon content of steel determines if it ;can be hardened for tempering and annealing. Steel with less than 30 per- cent carbon will not harden noticeably. Hardening means making steel harder. This is done by heating the steel to a cherry colaur and, cooling it quickly in I.;water or oil. Hardened steel is not only extremely hard, but also brittle. Hardening is the first stage in tempering. ; Tempering steel means Obtaining the desired hard- ness and toughness in metal. The degree. of hardness, :brittleness, or toughness is determined by the job ex- pected of the steel. In some tempering jobs, such as for cold chisel, a degree of toughness takes the place of the brittleness. • Just for example, a cold chisel is heated to cherry red, and the cutting end is cooled quickly and polished with either a file or a grinder, • Colours can be observed moving from the still heated end towards the tip. The colours will appear in this order; yellow, straw, brown, purple and blue, If you fail to recognize the desired colour and a gray colour appears, - the metal will be annealed instead of tempered, and therefore, will be much too soft for use. A colour chart will appear at the end of this article. Following are the steps required to temper, a cold chisel, (1) Heat about three inches of the cutting end to cherry red. Do not overheat the thin part of the chisel. (2) Dip about one third of the heated part into water and agitate it slightly to prevent the forming of a sharp line between the hot and cold metal, Continue cooling the end until the cool portron can be touched lightly with the finger. (3) Quickly remove the chisel from the water arid file or grind a Wight surface on one side for' the cutting end, so that the tempering colours may be observed, as they move to the cutting end. (4) Hold the chisel with the point up and watch the colours carefully, as they move toward the cutting edge. When a purple colour 400 to 352. On this subject Len MacGregor •said, "Club members are staying longer. We appear to be giving them something they like. Albert VanDyken of Exeter, a past president commented, `"Len has been with us for 10 years and that certainly helps for con- sistency." MacGregor estimated that about half of the members who started at the age of 11 years carry on for eight 'years. The 1979 year was very successful with 94 percent of projects being completed. The Ontario average is 83 percent. Zurich area leader Ray Rasenberg suggested special the U.C.W. was held at the church with prthident Mrs. George Burgin welcoming A steady Orep in the in- cidence of bovine brucellosis has been achieved by Agriculture Canada's test- and-slaughter program. John Kellar, in charge of brucellosis eradication planning in the federal department's health of animals directorate in Ottawa, says the program's success is largely because of vigilance by field veterinarians. "We now have only about 200 herds' under quarantine for brucellosis, compared with nearly 1,500 herds when the disease peaked in 1977," Dr, Kellar says, "There were 340 herds under brucellosis quarantine a year ago." The veterinarian says brucellosis eradication continues to be the top priority of the directorate. The program is being con- stantly refined. A brucellosis survey of 1,000 randomly selected farms and ranches across the country now is being conducted. More than 40,000 cattle will be blood tested, "The blood samples will be freeze-dried so they can also be used in the future to help us track down the sources of new diseases that might appear," Dr. Kellar says, Dr. Kellar notes that there have been improvements in other aspects of the sur- veillance program in cattle. The brucellosis ring test, performed on milk, will now be done on fresh milk rather than on stored samples. "Our experience in testing fresh milk in Quebec herds has shown the value of im- plementing this approach nationally. The method helps detect the disease at an early stage," Dr. Kellar says. The Market Cattle Testing Program was also improved early last year. Cattle now are being blood-tested at auction markets priorto sale. "Farmers have responded positively to the speeded-up process. And buyers know an animal's brucellosis status before it leaves the auction market," Dr. Kellar says. Down-th-road testing, in SOW Is fitness Important? , Ask any body: which every' herd in an area is tested, condones as a surveillance measure. It complements other screening programs, and helps find problem cattle before they get into market .channels. When infected cattle are found, the practice has been to depopulate the entire herd. "That way, in conjunction with ever-increasing sur- veillance, eradication is virtually assured." He adds that ultimately depopulation will also, he less costly to taxpayers and the industry. A recent computer cost-benefit analysis .showed there is a savings, of $4.75 to the industry for every dollar spent on the eradication program. Announcing Precision saw filing Call 235-0747 Barry Miller, RR 1, Exeter -.was named president of the Huron 4-H Club Leaders Association at the annual meeting held Thursday' in Clinton. Huron's agricultural assistant Len MacGregor said Huron has one of the strongest 4-H organizations in Ontario. MacGregor continued, ','we are the only county that has a full slate of delegates for the Ontario convention. Usually when we arrive others say, here comes Huron for their meeting in Toronto." Of the 352 4-H members in Huron in 1979, 20 were 19 years of age and the same number 18. The overall membership dropped from efforts should be made to keep the 13 to 15 years of age members interested in continuing. Usborne township leader Bob,Hern said the high price of calves may have been responsible , for fewer members in calf clubi. Huron's Ag Rep. Don Pullen suggested a Civics Club be organized for senior members as a pilot project. Pullen speaking about the future of farming said, ,"Some pessimists say if you think the 1970's were bad, look out for the '80's. I don't agree. People are people and they seem to be able to cope with any challenges which may arise." Leaders 'agreed to com- plete a 4-H exchange with a county in Illinois, This summer. In the future ex- changes will be confined to other provinces. As Steve Thompson suggested, "Let's keep it Canadian." Organization meetings for all clubs Will be held during the spring school break from March 17 to 21, The 1979 4-II gate sign competition drew a record 31 entries and the winner was Bill Kinsman, RR 2, Kippen. Allan Powe, RR 2 Cen- tralia; Carol Dougall, RR 3 Exeter and Brian Oldfield, RR 4 Seaforth attended a provincial 4-H leadership conference in Dorset. In 1979, the Canadian Council on 4-H clubs held the first annual 9-H Leaders Conference for leaders throughout Canada. Bob Herb of Huron was one of the two leaders chosen to represent Ontario. Other members of the executive in addition to president Barry Miller are vice-presidents Ken Mewhinney and John VanVliet and secretary Maurice Hallahan. Simon Hallahan who announced his retirement as a leader a year ago was back at Thursday's meeting. His explanation was simple "Here I am just like Trudeau." By MRS.
