The weather sure has been lousy but everyone managed to get their beans off around here. Things sure looked bad for a while but I guess someone ordered a little sun. I doubt if the someone belongs to what we call our Parliament as there sure isn't much sun coming from there. Sure seems as if they want all the little towns and farmers to suffer while they enjoy their raises in pay. Guess we'll just have to complain a whole lot more. Anniversary celebration Friday evening the com- munity met at the Township Hall to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Rick Forbes and to pre- sent them with the usual community gift.

The corn you harvest to yield one ton of silage would normally shell about seven bushels of dry corn. At $21.00 per ton it is still a valuable feed. We have noticed a few pro- ducers not packing their silage as much as they should when filling bulk or horizontal silos. It is very important to ex- clude the oxygen when silo filling. The presence of ex- cessive oxygen results in ex- cessive heating, browning, mold growth and dry matter loss. Under good conditions, a 5 percent loss in silage is not uncommon. Ideally corn silage should be 35 percent dry matter, 65 percent moisture, fine cut for beef and packed regular- ly and well, while filling. A few loads of 30 percent dry matter silage to top off the silo will help seal it. Plastic may be used, but should be sealed down well to eliminate the oxygen. Leftover seed treated with insecticides should be burn- ed, buried or securely locked away to prevent accidental livestock poisonings, Jixn Neufeld, a pathologist with Manitoba Agriculture, sug- gested recently. Neufeld said a few cattle managed to eat a lethal meal of treated seed each year. "Some of these insecticide agents are so potent the animals only need to breathe the fumes to get a fatal dose. Of course, if they eat a few .mouthfuls, then it's game over. Inside the body the chemical halted the action of smooth muscles such as those lining the rumen. As a result, gas was trapped in the rumen and the animal bloated. "If it's a mild dose and the animal stays on his feet then he may walk it off; if he goes down then he will probably bloat and die from asphixiation." Neufeld said that it took eight to 24 hours for the bloat to become fatal. In the early stages cattle salivated ex- cessively and staggered. "If caught early enough these animals can be saved, so It's important to call a veterinarian in as soon as these early symptoms ap- pear."

ENGINE OVERHAULS are all` but eliminated since propane burns clean, leaving no carbon deposits. OIL CHANGES are fewer and farther between because propane does not wash the oil as liquid fuels do. SPARK PLUGS last longer because propane is free of lead content which fouls plugs. A ■ MUFFLER REPLACEMENT is seldom required because of the reduction of acids emitted in exhaust. FUE L PUMPS are no longer required on straight propane systems. THE ADVANTAGES GO ON, SO FOR MORE IN- FORMATION ON PROPANE OR PROPANE/GASOLINE CONVERSIONS CALL 523- 4256. SpJk•TD.
