W” Parasites on Swine

1n the fall and winter months ,, ,5 quite common to see hogs infested with ice or mange mites. .1-,,c,.,5 little parazites can cause marked irritation of thehhogs and consequently slower gains. This condttlon can be prevented and

l d. ””Ef:':xe blood sucking parasites and while not as dangerous as mange mites nevertheless cause . great deal of discomfort and interilere with the well-being of the pigs. They are easily seen for may are the largest of all varie- ms of lice, which are found on doniatic animals. They EN! 8l15U)' gotten rid of by using old crank- case all either applied directly to me infested has or by aoakms old bags in oil and wraping them it- rcund a scratching post.

Mange in swine is a-contagious mu disease caused by la. very small insect scarcely visible to the naked eye but can be seen nndrr a hand lens or more effec- tively with the aid of a micros- cope, The disease is quite pre- valent and more particularly in the colder seasons of the year. om, any swine in the herd are infected the disease spreads rapid- ly and it is only a short time until all the hogs in the plggery are showing signs of the dsease.

This first lesions caused by the mange riiites usually appear a- inund the nose, eyes and ears where the skin is tender and the hair is thin. From these parts the infection spreads over the neck, shoulders and back and along the a.des and may finally involve the whole body. The mites burrow into the skin where they deposit their eggs, causing irritation, intense itching and inflamatlon, in the skin. After the first sign the ow- ner notices is that the pigs have a dirty appearance in certain areas of the skin. In heavy infestations the pigs become very unthrifty and remain stunted until some- tluiig is done to correct the condit- ion.

The proper treatment of hogs infested with mange mites coli- rsls of killing the parasites by applying Medicated liquids in the form of dips or sprays. There have been yevcral different kinds of dips used in the past such as oils and lime, sulf etc. However, to- day the most ffective treatment used is the application of a pre- paraition known as liiidone.

- . Beef Breeders ....

Looks alone are not always the most reliable conszderatlon when breeding stock is purchased. Many ask for a record of performance on each beef animal they buy and are finding that tested stock pay.-i well.

The progeny testing program on bulls conducted in various areas shows the value of the program. Anim.als very similar in outward appoaiaiice responded diiferciitiy ill the tests. Rate of gain and maturity varied coiisideiaoiy uc- tiieen the different lots tested and both are very important in meat production.

Type, quality, size growth abili- ir. disposition, and the milk pro- duction of the mothers of both the cows and bulls to be used in the herd for replacements should be considered. Large, well-develop- ed cows tend to produce large calves, and mammary develop- ment is considered a mighty im- pnrtant part of 8. well-developed cow.

Cows should be pulled from the herd that do a poor job of rais- irill their calves. I-ierd culling should be continuous and cattle that show evidences of dflsease should be removed from the herd as soon as they are discovered.

Cows that do not pay their way are too expensive to maintain be- cause of the present high labor and feed costs. Only stock should be selected that will produce fast- strmvliiiz animals yielding desir- able carcascs when they are mar- keted. Performance tests assure buyers that they are getting this kind of livestock.

PSYCHOLOGY AND THE MOTORIST

The mounting number of motor accidents on P. E. I. has led to some itcusslon oi the advisability of requiring applicants for drivers licences to pass certain psychologi- cal tests-tests measuring acute- ness of sight and hearing, and the less familiar time-reaction tests. It may be of interest, therefore, to devote this column and the next to such tests and to some of the problems involved in automo- bile driving. I

In his constructive book, "Psy-, chology in Use". t”psychology" is merely that branch of the scienc-at of biology that deals with human behavior) Dr. Stanley Gray of the University of Pittsburgh, includes A chapter by Walter C. Varnum of Los Angcies City College. that gives a detailed account of the re-i action-time tests, and the results of studies made of problems relat-l ed to automobile driving, by Del Silva and his associates, at I-Iai-I vard University.

a

To begin with, Dr. Varnuin states that contrary to the general belief (in the U. S. and possibly P. E. 1.) alcohol is not a major factor in automobile accidents. "Statistics show," saysDr. Varnum. ”that in fatal accidents, only one driver in nine has been drinking prior to the accident."

Nor is speeding (in the U. S. and probably on the Island) hiost of- ten the cause of fatal accidental Road conditions, unsafe drivin.; practices, drunken drivers, "all equal or exceed speed as contri- buting factors to fatal accidents,” claims Dr. Variium. " We are ruore or less familiar with tests of vision and hearing so we shall confine our attention 33- present to the reaction-time test. Such a test measures how quickly is driver can apply a brake after he sees a danger signal. The apparatus consists of chronoscope- "an accurate device for measurliig time in units of at least one one-hundredth of a second, plus a stimulus board. us- ually a device for flashing a. light, and the dummy auto."
