Function Of Feeds

The nutrients in feeds are used (1) to supply energy for the work clone by the vital organs of the body, such as the heart, lungs and digestive tract. (2) for the main- tenance oi body temperature, is) for the repair of tissues. and (1) for the building of new bone, muscle and fat tissues during the period of growth, pregnancy and fattening. (5) to provide the ne- Cr-ssary ingredients required for the secretion of milk. In connec- tion with every function of the animal body, specific amounts of the different nutrients are re- quired.

For maintenance alone, the nu- tiicnt requirements are chiefly for nitrogen-free extract and fat with my little protein or minerals be- ing required. The bigger the an- imal, the greater is the nutrient requirement. Exposure to extreme cold increases the requirement. carbonaceous roughages alone can usually provide sufficient nutrients ior maintenance.

Gmwth and pregnancy involves A building up of flesh and bone that is largely composed of pro- tein and mineral. The faster an animal grows, the greater will be the need for protein and mineral supplements. Newborn calves grow very rapidly, and as they become older their growth rate decreases. reducing their need for protein and minerals. Pregnant cows, therefore. require a little more it-ed than for maintenance alone.

Fatienlng requires a surplus of teed above other requirements. A riairy cow that iattens whilo pro- ducing milk is either getting too much feed or is using feed for body fat rather than for milk pro- dilctioil. Fattenlng cows prior to lreshclllhg is sometimes practiced to increase milk production dur- ing the following lactation period. Thin cows may be fattened dur- ing their dry period by feeding an excess of carbonaceous or starchy fr-eldss. Very liittla protiilg or min- Ira are requre in t process.

Milk secretion calls for relatively Wye quantities of protein and minerals in the feed. Home cows have difficulty in eating and di- rgsiins sufficient feed to meet i or requirements for milk secre- H011. because the inherent ability lovproduce milk has been increas- ed to such high levels. so great is the nutrient requirement for :;nvy nrnilk xirodlictlon nfhgt only

Brushing the cobwebs from a marriage license issued in 1035, Homer Dona and Ethel O'neal got spliced in Detroit. The couple were in their early thirties when they bought the license-for one buck-I7 years ago. but the fates prevented them from using it.

Then Miss 0'neal's parents got 31

sick, and she had to head for Columbus, Ga.. to take care of 'em. They passed on last year, and Ethel returned to Detroit. Frequent letters passed between Ethel and Homer-enough and of the right kind to keep the lamp of love burning brightly.

So you see. the 864 question all these years was one little word, "when".

The antiquity of linen is re- markable in that we find it men- tioned in the book of Genesis as already in use for clothing the royal princes of Egypt.

Good linen is made today: but under the microscope a fragment which formed the wrapping of a mummy was found to be of such marvelous. quality that nothing similar has from looms in modern times.

From a very remote period it would appear that the product of the flax plant had been used ex- clusively as the court-garb of roy- alty in the Eastern states.

In one year alone the flax spun by the busy mills of Ulster, was estimated to measure 644,000,000 miles. or to put it another way if the yarn was rolled on a gigan- tio ball and then unwound in a single thread it would go around our old globe 25,000 times. Using three plys. the same yarn would form a line from the earth to the sun and back to the earth again.

or should you desire to visit the man in the moon that big ball of flax yarn could be made into a runway 380 threads wide, extending the full length between our globe and that occupied by the chap above. With the dome of City Hall, Charlottetown, for its center support, this linen can- opy would cover several hundred acres and reach as far over Char- lottetown as 85 miles.

Explosive experts at Fort Dev- ens, Mass.. recently came by a 1,- 200 pound shell while dredging Boston Harbor, where it was be- lleved to have been jettisoned during the Civil War!

It you think tobacco shortens your days listen to what 100-year- old Mrs. Mary Coffee of Maiden- head, England has to say: "I have smoked a pipe for 82 years". The mayor of the town, J. B. Maudsley, gave the aged lady a gift of tobacco on the anniversary.

Russia now provides 75 per cent of the total flax produced in Eu- rope-the reason being the cheap- ness of labour and the large areas of land suitable for the growth of this crop being available.

Atomic powered planes now be- ing developed may make it pos- sible to fly around Mother Earth under cover of darkness--beating the clock-and on a pound offuel. According to plane official publi- cations of the Aircraft Industries Association. Ours is getting to be a fast age and one can only hold one's breath and wonder what will crop up next.

Germany's atomwoman, 23-year- old Mrs. Rotrand of Berlin. earns her living by defuslng bombs-the only woman in the wdrld who handles such a dangerous job.

South Africa's newest post of- fice Is in the clouds 10,000 feet above sea level.

The post office is at Mokhat- long, a. town which until 1948 was without communication facilities. Now the government operates midget planes to carry mail into and out of the mountain town.

Modern girls like nice clothes. but they are not entirely wrapped up in them. .

How would a Job in 47 states and parts of Canada and Mexico appeal to you? Well: Richard D: Michelo, a development engineer for the G. E. Co. in Schenectady, N. Y., has such a job. Dick's o shake-and-shock specialist with a special flair as a ”gadgetteer".

He has worked at this odd and dangerous job for 10 years in 47 states, Canada and Mexico, using such gadgets as vibration meters, sound testing instruments and what not.

Just by looking at his tasting instruments Dick can tell how loud a snake hisses or how much racket a street makes. He can tell you how much noise an ele- phant makes when it blows its trumpet or how heavily it steps when walking. Unusual noises in planes while lm flight is right down his alley too, as is also the

The process of making paper by hand, is performed in the same manner today as it was centuries ago. Any developments which have taken place have principally been associated with the production of the pulp and the methods and apparatus used in sizing.

The hand-made process is as- soclated only with the highest grades of paper, and it requires great skill and experience. One drop of water in the film of pulp as it rests on the mould will spoil the sheet.

The Book of Books has been translated in wholeor in part into 1.134 languages according to the British Bible Association in Lon- don.

THE UNDEFEATED

From time to time it is good to

turn from the scientific study, of human nature, to the inspiration of a. master-poet's or prose-wrlt- er's heart and mind. This may be found In the new book, "The old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. one of the finest of modern authors. originally printed in the September 1 issue of the magazine "Life". It is a story written with almost Biblical sim- plicity and dignity, of an old Cu- ban fisherman and his under. standing and loving rels” with a boy, and his struggle of three days and nights to bring In a 1600 pound marlin (swordfish) measuring 18 feet. The battle with the sea and the fish against the disabilities of old age and his Cllllnif. results in temporary vic- I-01'y-the final outcome, however, is heart-breaking failure-but not -defeat. We shall quote as much as space permits. in the hope that those who have not read the book will do so.
