"However, those who have striven to make these improve- ments through the Ontario Mas- titis Control Program have fre- quently reduced the number of mastitis cases in their herds by 60% or more. with the naked eye," he adds. "Every milk- ing machine should receive regular, and complete check- ups by a man with the right analyzing equipment -- a train- ed milking machine service- man." Harvesting safety tip Make a fire extinguisher part of the necessary equipment you carry on your combine, advises farm safety specialist H. E. Wright, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. Dust and chaff blowing into the hot engine, plus overheated belts and bearings causes fires. Occasionally, sparks from the motor have ignited fields of wheat. Before you go into the fields, make all the necessary adjust- ments of cylinder speed, screens, and other troublesome parts. This might avoid a lot of nerve-wracking delays dur- ing harvesting and possibly save you from getting angry enough to put your hands in the ma- chine when it's working. A machine that's working well is good harvesting insurance! Keep the shields and guards in place and, particularly on a ,combine, allow no passengers.. Your harvesting will be more efficient and safer, too, if you take a coffee break.

Poor Pulsators, Mastitis Promoters BY AMBROSE HILLS For many years, in this umn. I wrote learned essays about economic matters, and caught hell from those who dis- agreed and seldom ever got a letter from those who agreed. Now, since I've become a farm. er, and have been writing al- most exclusively about our rid- iculous adventures here on Greenhorn Farm, my mailbox bulges with kindly notes and let- ters from readers offering sug- gestions and encouragement. Even our animals, Wooly-Bully, Willy-Nilly, etc„ get letters addressed to them; and often a car will come up the driveway, and it will be people we've nev- er met but who want to see how these greenhorn farmers are making out. I thoroughly enjoy such fan mail and such visits, but yesterday, I got a letter that thrilled me above all; for it came from my new grandson, our first. He wrote: "Dear Grandparents, I know you're all anxious to hear about my visit with the doctor. Well, I don't like to brag but facts are facts. I now weigh 12 pounds 14 ounces, height 25 inches -- how about that. Throat, ears, eyes checked out A-1. The doctor graphed my height and weight and I am well above average.

About time, for that rice cereal was getting a bit much, Saturday I tasted bananas and after a bit of face-making, de- cided they taste pretty good. At 8 weeks I start on strained vege- tables and at 10 weeks strained fruits, so things are looking up. "I am now smiling all over the place, and you should see the excitement it creates. I sleep through the night now, too, Decided to give Morn a break, "They are bringing me out to visit Greenhorn Farm at the end of the month. I am sav- ing some of my best smiles for that occasion." I thought that was a dam fine letter for a baby five weeks old to write, but I am a little bit suspicious. His grandmother is quite gullible, and insists he wrote it himself; but I am old and wise, and it is my firm conviction that his mother prob- ably helped him spell bananas. But who can complain about that. I have trouble spelling bananas myself. Water Keeps Pigs Lean "Give pigs all the water they want," advises Dr. H. M. Cunningham, an animal nu- tritionist at CDA's experimen- tal farm at Nappan, N.S. If you don't, the pigs may lay on unwanted fat, Normally pigs consume about 2,5 to 3 pounds of water per pound of feed. In an experiment at Nappan, pigs were restricted to 1.25 pounds of water per pound of feed. They stored up to 11 per cent more fat than their litter- mate controls who got the same feed but three pounds of water per pound of feed. In another experiment water intake Was limited to two pounds of water per pound of feed and the pigs stored up to five per cent more fat than con- trols receiving all the water they wanted. 'It is well known that if wa- ter intake of an animal is re- stricted it will consume less feed and grow at a slower rate;' Dr. Cunningham comments. "But this is the first time it has been shown that if two animals are fed the same amount of feed with one being restricted on water, the one getting the smaller amount of water will store more fat. The growth of lean tissue does not appear to be greatly affected." The researcher notes that it is becoming increasingly popu- lar to use "pipeline" feeding where feed and water are pre- mixed in a gruel. When no other provision is made for wa- ter, this system often results in a tendency to underestimate a pig's water requirement. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Abra- ham visited with Mr. and Mrs. Keith Duncan and family of Glen Williams, one day last week. Visitors with the Abra- hams during the past week were Mr. and Mrs. William Lloyd and family of Kirkland Lake, Mr. John Abraham and Dr. R. Delmas of Toronto, Mr. J. I.

O'Malley, of the 2nd of Cul- toss, will be wed September 8th in London. During the eve- ning contests were conducted, a bride's book was read, and a social time enjoyed. Helen opened her gifts, after which she thanked everyone present. One unique gift was a woven tablecloth, sent from Holland by her sister Cathy, who is working there, Lunch was serv- ed at the close of the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Ait- ken and family of Kincardine attended services in the local Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning, and later visited rel- atives. Rev.

Anni- versary services will be held at the church on Sunday, Septem- ber 10th, at 11 a.m. and '7:30 p.m. Rev. John Bell of Wal- kerton will be the guest speak- er. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Ballagh and family spent a few days last week at Niagara Falls, and visited the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto, There is a demand for houses in Wingham that will rent from $4 to $6 per month. Unless buildings to meet the demand are provided the town cannot be expected to go ahead. -- Wingham Times, 1898. even though it does not do the milking, a pulsator is fre- quently the major cause of Milking machine inefficiency simply because its care is over- looked. "The milking process is brought about by alternately supplying vacuum and atmes- Aerie pressure to an around the teat liners," states Ontario De- partment of Agriculture exten- sion veterinarian Dr. H. Neely. "No vacuum should reach the teat during the at- mospheric pressure phase," (when the teat is being mas- saged) he stresses. "It is at the teat opening that mastitis gains entrance, so, of course, if the teat is irritated, it is much more susceptible to such dis- ease." Basically, milking machine pulsators are of two types. The more commonly used pneu- matic pulsator is fundamental- ly a piston driven back and forth by air movement. The other, a magnetic type, is operated by electrical impulse. Since the magnetic pulsator has less moving parts, it has fewer malfunctions and ismore difficult to tamper with. In most cases, Dr. Neely points Out, it is also more expensive than the pneumatic pulsator. The pneumatic pulsator relies completely on free flow of air for its action.
