Pneumonia in Calves Could Lead
To Shipping Fever Later In Cattle
Research work, being carried out
at•the Ontario Veterinary College
indicates that a relationship exists
between pneumonia in calves and
shipping fever in cattle.
Veterinarians doing research
work on these two diseases have
observed that many of the animals
most seriously affetced with ship-
ping fever had a chronic type of.
pneumonia prior to shipment.
These observations and others
suggest the occurrence in the nor
mal cattle population of an enzoo
tic pneumonia of a chronic char-
acter.
Early reports indicate that the
disease ma yaffect 25 percent of
the calves in Ontario. Although
the disease does not cause heavy
losses in calves, it is a chronic in -

fection and as such it inay reduce
the growth rates and lower resis-
tance to the point where calves
become susceptable to other more
serious diseases. The disease is
similar in character to virus
pneumonia in swine which has a
widespread distribution.
Research work is being continu-
ed to determine more about the
disease and its control. Clean, dry
and well .ventilated calf pens will
do much to bring calves affected
with enzooticpneumonia back to
health.

Plans For County
Home Are evised
Revised plans for the proposed
addition to the Huron County
Home were approved by the Hu-
ron County council in session last
week. The new plans call for a
92 -bed addition, which would bring
the total accomodation to 202 beds:
Cost of the addition, exclusive
of furnishings and equipment,
would tentatively be $1,100.000.
The proposed addition would
consist of a ground floor, first
and second floors, and the origi-
nal building would be torn down.
The Department of Welfare will
pay 50 percent of the costs of
construction. The last addition was
constructed in 1954.
It is expected tenders will be
called at the January sessions of
council.

L pique Forum
Members of the Unique Farm
Forum met at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Herb Klopp, on Monday
night, with 20 persons attending.
The topic for the evening, "Per-
formance of Personality" was dis-
cussed, with Clifford Pepper as
chairman.
The questions were answered as
follows: (1) By what standing do
you buy your stock? Answer, first
record of performance; second, vig-
or and vitality; third, showing
performance. (2) Today's show-
ing standards do not guarantee
the best livestock for the average
producer. Performance testing as
well as showing standards should'
be used. (3) We feel showing stan-
dards are good, but the average
or commercial farmer should be
made more concious of the value
of good stock.
The next meeting will be held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford
Pepper on December 1, with Carl'
Oestreicher as discussion leader„
on the topic, "Wanted—A measur-
ing Stock for Costs".
