Murdock County Agricultural Agent Feed Calves Colostrum Milk Humans arent the only animals that need outside help to survive after being born. The cows new offspring also needs a parental boost. Calves, unlike most animal species, are born without antibodies in the blood to ward off disease and infection. Nature has, however', provided the calf with a source of antibodies that will aid in the development of immunity to calfhood diseases. Colostrum milk, the milk produced by the calfs mother for milkings after calving, does these four specific essential calf: things for the 1. Provides antibodies to aid in preventing disease and infection, and prepares the digestive tract for the invasion of bac2-- 3 new-bor- n teria. 2. Provides a laxative food that starts the digestive tract functioning properly. 3. Provides an abundance of Vitamin A and D that is essential for the calfs 4. Provides nutrients, in a condensed form, that fully meet the nutritive needs of the calf. Often the dairyman finds it necessary to protect the udder by milking the cow before she freshens. This means that at freshening the cow will not provide colostrum milk. I would like to recommend that in such a case sufficient amount of the first milk collected should be frozen and kept until the calf is born. Then it can be thawed, warmed to 100 degrees F. and fed to the calf. The dairyman can dilute surplus colostrum milk with water about half and half, and feed it to other calves successfully. well-bein- g. DOES FINISH PAY? Does it pay a feeder to finish his beef cattle from a U. S. grade of good to a grade of This is a question choice? feeders often ask, reports Agent Murdock. So that stockment wont be misled by some of the answers they receive to this query, I would like to present these basic facts:1. A high on, Utahs driving public will be seeing a lost more red; for today, the Utah State Highway Commission, after many months of rerearch, discussion and study of traffic experiments across the nation, officially adopted the use of red stop signs as a state standard in place of the present yellow and black signs. The Commission based its decision on the fact that the color red is consistent with the wide use of red as a special warning of danger and the near universal use of the red light as a stop signal. This action means that from now on all stop signs constructed for use on the states highways wil be 30 fully signs with red backgrounds and white lettering. Replacement of existing signs will be on a normal basis of placing the new signs in positions where the others are worn out or have been damaged The only exception of this policy at present is that the commission has instructed the Department of Traffic Engineering to place 25 of the new red standards at various busy intersections and in areas where motorists fail to stop for stop signs. The first of these will probably be installed within the next two weeks. reflec-torize- d Decline In Values (Continued from Page 17, 1954 FARMwHOMM-5- ) Reflector Type Signs To Be 30 Inches Mrs. Ray Horrocks was in The Perry Grant household Provo to see the graduation of tried their luck at fishing at her son, Milton Ray Bloomquist, Rock Creek.

UTAH STATU AG&1CCLTVRI KXTEN8ION HOMJt 8ERVICJ, By Mary Lois Reichert Home Demonstration Agent LIKE FABRIC. LIKE THREAD Now the housewife, when shes sewing clothes from the newer fabrics such as Dacron," Orion and Nylon, wont have to lose part of the advantages of her cloth by using thread of a different material. Colored sewing thread of Dacron polyester fiber is now on the market for home sewers. After intensive tests, including trials by home economists and homemakers, the new thread is being offered in 18 colors besides black and white. Testers report it is excellent for the newer fibers as well as rayon, acetate, wool and silk. The manufacturer recommends it especially for tricot, jersey and cheer fabrics made from these fibers. Quick drying, long wearing and great strength are some of the advantages of the newer fabrics. It is important that thread used in making clothes from these latest synthetics doesnt reduce their native properties. Because the new Dacron thread possesses those same characteristics, the home sewer will maintain them in the finished garment if she used the new thread. No special needle or adjustment of tension is required in sewing with this thread. To assure maximum performance, slip a felt pad over the spool pin and then putting' the spool in place, keeping the notched side up. The felt pad is available in stores handling sewing machine supplies. In pressing seams after stitching with thread of Dacron, the temperature of the iron should be around 250 degrees, the same as for pressing fabrics of the newman-mad- e Values listed for the various classifications of real estate for 1954 and 1953 are: $305,600, ($310,440) for town and city lots; 1951 (2,117) acres of dry improved farm land at $6,585, ($7,080); 26,552, (25,363) acres of irrigated improved farm land; 43,579 ( - ) acres of permanent pasture at $467,320, ( - ); 482,134, (487,219) acres of grazing land; 6,148, (7,867) er e fibers. acres of other lands, including Because thread of Dacron resists stretching during sewing, equities in state stand, at ($38,560); 9,893, (9,956) ac- it eliminates puckering of the res of waste land at no value farbic and reduces creeping at Buildings or improvements on the seam end.

Coice steers sell for about two to four cents more than good grade steers and from about four to eight cents more at liveweight than commercial steers. 3. Finished steers ship better than others and shrink less in travel. 4. The carcass of a choice steer is worth about four ceents more per pound than a lower grade when sold. The following problem will illustrate this. Assume a steer is put into a feed lot at 750 pounds. He cost the feeder about 17 cents a poung, or a total of $127.50. The steer will put on about 2 pounds a day. Now the feeder has a choice. He can feed the steer to a good 125 grade at 1000 pounds in west at then will sell, It days. coast prices, for about $20.50 per hundred pounds, or a total of $205.00. This will give the feeder a gross return of $77.50 or 62 cents a day for feeding the steer. Subtracting the cost of feed will give his net profit. The feeders other choice is to carry the steer on another 40 and days to a weight of 1075 west a grade of choice. Because coast markets pay 2 cents more for choice than good beef, he will get a total of $241.87 for his choice steer at $22.50 per 100 pounds. This is $36.87 more than he would have gotten for the good steer, or 92 cents a day for the extra 40 days feeding. Can the feeder afford to finhis steer to a grade of choice? He got 92 cents a day for the extra feeding, compared with 62 cents for the first feed48 ing period. Thats more than would than he cent more per get for feeding the steer too' the good grade. I would like to points out that this is probably the reason steers sold by Utah feeders go into other feed lots for 30 to 60 days more before being slaughtered. Many Utah feeders only finish their steers to a good grade. Why does the "choice steer bring the extra cents? There are two reasons. One is obvious choice meat is worth more. West coast prices bring about 40 cents per pound for a choice carcass and only about 36 cents for good meat. The other reason is that a choice steer dresses at abut 61 per cent of its live weight while a good only dresses at about 58 cent. per Since low quality steers don t have this difference, most commercial feeders carry steers' on at least to the choice grades. Many of the animals they carry on are those that farmers called fat and sold at a grade of good, thus losing some of the profit. One thing that has confused farmers, is that the U. S. grade of choice today is what has ish ani-ma- y Three-fourth- 0, $3,-50- ITS 5, THAT TIME OF THE YEAR The Good Old Summer Time when you get so hot you can't eat, sleep, or even sit around in tomfort.
