Cornstalks used to he plowedunder as waste, but cost-con-scious farmers these days areputting them to better use.They're using cornstalks foranimal feed to help heat theincreased cost of livestock pro-duct ion.

Although retail food price*continue to rise, it's the "mid-dle man" food processor (rath-er than the farmer) who l«mgenerally benefitted most fromthe increases over the past fewyears. Most farmers are caughtin the same cost-price squeezethat's been haunting segmentsof our industrial business com-munity soaring productioncosts and diminishing returns.

Cornhelt ( farmers are help-ing rclic(j» the^f;; 4-squeeze,though, converting corn-

stalks to beef. It's been dis-covered that cornstalks can heused as the basis for a beefcow ration. According to agri-

cultural researchers, the stalksaren't good enough nutrition-ally to fatten Ix-el-producingsteers; but, they Kin provide asubstantial amount of the feedrequirements ol th c cow Ihatproduces Ihe ntcvr calf.

Of course, say the research-ers, farmers planning to winterbeef cows on cornstalks mustmake certain they're givingthe animals enough mineral-salt-vitamin A supplement.And, depending on the qualityof the stalks, some supple-mental protein might also beneeded. Naturally, during thelast month of gestation andthe entire nursing period, theanimals should have feed witha higher energy conteht thanthat in cornstalks.

And this has led some ob-servers to speculate about theCornhelt becoming "cow coun-try" in the future. The poten-tial, at least nutritionally,seems to be there: Nearly halfof the nutrients from a corncrop are in the cobs, stalks andleaves.

Specialists at the Universityof lowa, feeding cornstalksfrom a 40-acre field, success-fully wintered 10 beef rowsand 10 first-call heifers in arecent test. The wintering pe-riod covered 112 days, andtotal feed cost for a supple-ment mix was only 80<* peranimal.

In the Cornbelt and else-where, production of 3Vi tonsof cornstalks to the acre is notunusual. A farmer could ex-pect to get roughly one bale ofstalks for every bushel of graintaken from the field. He canprevent mold or heating instorage by baling stalks whenthey contain not more than 20to 2,r >% moisture.

DOG DAYS CAN BE HAPPY DAYS IF YOU GIVE YOUR DOG EXTRA CARE

It's that time of year auain...when Sirius, the dog star, isbrightest in the heavens ... and.on earth, man and his bestfriend must endure the summerheat.

Summer can be an intoler-able experience for your dog.but with a little extra care the"dog days" will lie happy daysHere are a few tips to brightenup Fido's summer:

Hutliing FeedingWhen a hath becomes neces-

sary. bathe your dog in luke-warm water, less than 100 de-grees, which is close to his bodytemperature. Use a special de-odorant soap or dog sham|>oo.such as Purina Dog Shampoo.Keep the lather away fromeyes, mouth and ears. Be sureto rinse all the soap out of thecoat before drying. After thelath, dry him thoroughly witha towel to re-establish the insu-lation blanket in his fur.

Grooming and Exercise

Many dogs shed in the spring,others near the end of summeror fall, most shed continuously.Daily grooming of your dog willhelp to keep his coat glisteningand remove hair mats and ex-ternal parasites. Clipping isgenerally not recommended forlong haired dogs. Their hairacts as insulation, protectingthem fronv4he sun'* scorchingrays. Exercise should be limitedto the cool of the early morn-in* or late evening hours

Dog HouseIf your dog has a "home""'ol

his own, consider these pointsA light-colored dog house willbe several degrees cooler thana dark-colored one. Shade andadequate ventilation are im-portant. If trees do not provideenough natural shade, cover aportion of the run or kennelwith canvas, plastic, pi;or snow fence. Exessive moiture or dampness can causehost of troubles.

makes such a flail attachment,one that has a 60-inch cuttingwidth, which is wide enough tohandle two rows of widelyspaced corn. And the NewHolland attachment mountswithout removal of the balerpickup.

Cornstalks also make an ex-cellent bedding material forcattle, especially when thestalks are finely chopped -

which is easily done with aflail attachment like New Hol-land's. The stalks comparefavorably with straw for keep-ing animals clean and dry.

Cornstalks are normally thebetter choice, though, as strawcan be a scarce item, and moreexpensive when available -

sometimes S2O a ton or morein some areas.

Putting byproduct materialsuch as cornstalks to good useis typical of the economy-mindedness of the NorthAmerican farmer. Already theworld's most efficient food pro-ducer and despite common-ly insufficient monetary re-

ward for his labors he's stillat it, finding ways to keepdown the cost of producingfood.

In summer, fleas, ticks andlice can irritate your dog's skin.Flies can also cause problems.Awareness is important. Ifyoudetect parasites, apply PurinaDog Powder liberally to theskin, or bath with Purina DogShampoo. For further controlof ticks, fleas and lice, applypowder to sleeping and beddingquarters. Many skin problemsin dogs are commonly known as"summer eczema," The controlof parasites, proper nutritionand the protection from contactwith specific plants will elmi-nate the majority of dermatitisconditions encountered in thesummer. Hormones, drug treat-ments and good sanitation cancontrol most of the remainingproblems. If skin problems oc-cur. take your dog to your vet-erinarian immediately for diag-nosis and treatment.

Good nutrition is always ofprime importance, according toL)r. Jim Corbin, director of thePurina Pet Care Center. "How-ever," Dr. Corbin says "don't bealarmed if your dog's food in-take drops off during the sum-mer. In the summer months,dogs do not normally use up asmuch energy, hence do not re-quire as much food." Shelf-feeding of dogs is an easy andconvenient way to feed duringthe summer months. Dry fooddoes not sour and can he leftout all times. Also, dry feeddoes not attract insects as read-ily as moist feed. Normally,dogs will consume only enoughdry feed to keep themselves ingood body condition. Ampleamounts of good, clean freshwater should be available at alltimes.

Thus, with a little extra care,you and yaur pet can enjoy thesummer months. And, the "dogdays" will be a thing of the past.

Three times in Romans 5 we -read that Christ died for us. !Verse 6 tells us that He died for jus in our weakness. Verse 8 that.He died for us in our sin, andVerse 10 that He died for us inour rebellion.

First, Verse 6 says: "For whenwe were yet WITHOUT STRENGTH,

in due time Christ died for theungodly."

Men sometimes try to makethemselves acceptable to God byhuman effort, but they never suc-ceed. We can't walk or run toheaven, we can't fly there, wecan't climb there ?not even bydoing good works, for good worksis what we ought to do, and weshould not expect them tocounter-balance our sinfulthoughts and deeds. Anyway,Heaven is God's and He says wecannot gain it by works. "For bygrace are ye saved, through faith,and that not of yourselves; it,is

the gift of God; not of works,

lest any man should boast"(Eph. 2:8,9).

Next, Rom. 5:8 says: "Godcommendeth His love toward us,in that, while we were yet SIN-NERS, Christ died for us."

i Many people feel shut out ofheaven, not merely because of a

| sense of helplessness, but be-\ cause of a sense of sinfulnessand condemnation. To such Godproclaims the glad news that

| "Christ died for sinners," and| "came into the world to savei sinners" (I Tim. 1:15). At CalvaryHe paid the just penalty for sin?-for the sins of all mankind ?so

} that we, by faith, might be "justi-I fied freely by God's grace, throughthe redemption that is in Christ

| Jesus" (Rom. 3:24).But Rom. 5:10 goes even far-

ther, offering hope and grace tothose who have resisted God'sgrace and rejected His Son, for

| here the greatest Christ-rejectorof all time, now gloriously savedand changed, declares:

"When we were ENEMIES, wewere reconciled to God by thedeath of His Son" (Rom. 5:10).

And so the helpless, the sinful,\ yes, and the rebellious, can findacceptance with God if only theywill turn from their sin and fail-

j ure to Him. "Believe on the Lord
