Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER Proposed in Connecticut: a special tax on internal combus- tion engines at $2 per cylinder annually for cars, trucks and tractors, and one time only for lawn mowers, chain saws, etc. If you've been putting off buy- ing new tires, remember that replacing them is cheaper than paying for an accident. A "cold" temperature reading after the engine has been run- ning for 15 minutes may be due to an inaccurate gauge, a ,, faulty thermostat or a defec- tive heat valve. 4 In 1908, a highly skilled auto worker shaped the top half of a gasoline tank in eight hours; today, a machine operated by 3 men does it in 20 seconds. In 1905, a luxury car was driven up the steps of the Capitol in Washington to prove its power.

NEW GROWTH STIMULANT A growth stimulant implant for beef cattle, recently approv- ed for use in Canada, should be a welcome aid to cattlemen, according to research by Agric- ulture Canada. The Canadian beef industry has been looking for a cheap, effective growth promotant to help check production costs since the use of diethylstilbestrol (DES) was suspended on January 1, this year. The newly -approved product is called Ralgro. It can be used as an implant to increase rate of gain in suckl- ing and weaned beef calves, growing beef cattle, feedlot steers and feedlot heifers, but is not to be used in breeding animals or veal calves. Unlike DES, its active comp- onent, zeranol, is not a highly potent sex hormone but a deriv- ative of a chemical compound extracted from corn mold. It is also effective in heifers which show no growth respond to sex hormone implants. Ralgro reportedly does not produce the side effects that may show up during the first day or so of hormone implant use. Cattle treated with the impl- ant tend to produce the leaner carcasses currently in market demand. Current cost of the implant to cattlemen is about 75 cents per animal using a 36 milligram dose. Implants are placed in the animal's ear.
