Show of his further weakened resistance. This is a serious disorder and can have a fatal outcome. These are only a few of the diseases and disorders to which a newborn foal is subject. Mare and foal should The Morse Corral Geri Babcock By Quite a few new foals already on the ground and more to come in the next two months or so. We hope they will all have a safe arrival and do well. It is almost to wait all those months with high hopes, only to have them dashed when the foal fails to survive. Unlike the human infant, the foal receives very little protection in the way of immunity before birth and consequently has little resistance to the hordes of bacteria that surround him. The first milk, colostrom, that he receives from his mother gives him the antibodies he needs to fight disease. But, there is a time lapse between the birth and the absorption of antibodies into the foal's bloodstream. For this reason the foaling stall should be as clean as possible with plenty of clean dry bedding. As soon as possible, the navel cord stump should be thoroughly doused with tincture of iodine or other good disinfectant. Repeat this treatment twice a day until the stump is dry and the navel healing. Infection entering heart-breakin- g through the open cord can cause septicemia, a blood stream infection, sometimes seen as "joint ill." Soon after birth the foal should receive tetanus antitoxin and a "shot" of antibiotic medicine. Even though you may be competent in giving shots to horses, do check with the veterinarian about the kind and proper dosage of antibiotic to give. Several of the "combiotic" type contain streptomycin which is an excellent drug, but can have very serious side effects when given in excess of recommended amounts. The foal should be watched closely to be sure he empties both bladder and bowel within two to four hours after birth. An enema can very often aid in emptying the bowel, but failure to urinate is a serious symptom which only a veterinarian can evaluate. A fairly common affliction is "scours," or diarrhea of the newborn. This is a bacterial infection of the gastrointestinal tract. It has nothing to do with the kind of food the mare has been eating. Since there are several different J types of bacteria that can cause this type of infection, it be watched closely for is best to follow the recomIf anything several mendations for treatment does not days. seem quite right, made by a veterinarian.

The National Science Foundation and Honeywell began the solar lab demonstration project in 1974. Federal sponsorship of the project was transferred to the Energy Research and Development Administration after its formation in January, 1975. The laboratory consists of two units. The first is a semitrailer housing the solar cooling and heating equipment, a control and data center, and a complete weather station. Two different experimental air conditioning systems are built into the lab along with a conventional hot water heating system. The second unit, a 12x50-fooffice van represents the building to be cooled or heated and supplied with hot water by sun power. The van also contains educational displays that describe the principal solar conversion for News of Men in Service use in briefing visitors.

An exhibit of the best i i j mobile laboratory elaborately equipped to convert the sun's energy for heating and cooling buildings , will spend nine days on the University of Utah campus beginning Apr. 9. The transportable solar laboratory will stop in Salt Lake City as part of a nationwide tour to demonstrate the use of solar power as an alternative to conventional fuels. The public is invited to visit the lab. It will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Apr. 9 through 17 and will be parked south of the Special Events Center along South Campus Drive.
