Vet Hospital
Routine Work
By Lillie L. Madsea
Farm Editor, The Statesman
The doctor was ' busy. He wu
In the operating room. Would I
please sit down and look at the
magazine a bit, the attractive
white-uniformed attendant told
tne.. ,
A faint odor of ether reached
me a I glanced at the magazines
on -the table in the watting room.
Mostly livestock journal. I noted.
, A patient, was brought in, taken
to the receiving, room adjoining,
and placed on a white-toppd table.
I wax permitted to watch mm the
case history was taken and the
examination was made. I looked
about at my completely sanitized
surroundings. Not a sound issued
from the operating room. The pa
tient on the table before us whim
pered only a little. Everything is
made as painless as possible be
cause the patients do not under
stand they are- really being
helped, the attendant explained.
The door cf the operating room
opened, the doctor stepped out
and another attendant carried the
patient to a ward.
- "We are going to give .a trans
fusion next You may watch if
you wish, the doctor told me.
Sorprise Awaits
This was my introduction to a
veterinary .hospital. The whole
thing from the reception room to
the tranfusion was a surprise to
me. And- if anyone thinks that all
veterinary hospitals are filled
with Pekingese dogs and blue-
ribboned Persian cats, there is a
surprise in store 'for him, too.
There were some pets, yes, in for
treatment er care. But the great
majority were useful animals
from "down on the ranch. There
were cats and dogs with in test i
sal ailments. .One cat was being
treated for wounds sustained in a
fight. A dog had given birth to
puppies by Caesaran operation.
As I watched, Dr. F. G; Rankin,
assisted by Dr. W. H. Anderson,
inject the anesthetic into the
'arm" vein of the blood donor.
. draw the blood and later feed it
back into j the veins of "Pooh,'
the Australian shepherd owned
by Marie Travenner in Rural
Salem, the two men told of how
long a way eterinary medicine
Had come in recent years.
Old Type Gone
Gone almott entirely is the old
type veterinarian, filled with
knowledge but careless with
sanitation and caring almost
tthing for disinfectants. After
eoch operation in a herd, the vet-.
criruman now disinfects his hands
nd his instruments. Hia boots

are disinfected before he leaves
the farm.. No longer are diseases,
which formerly wiped out; farm
herds, . transmitted by veterinar
ians tramping from farm to farm
carrying diseases on boots, cloth
ing, hands and instruments.
A brief while ago, feline en
teritis entered the valley and en
tire sections were unable to raise
farm cats until sanitation' was un
derstood. More mice and rats re
sulted. ,
Altogether veterinary medicine
is more closely associated with
human medicine than most people
realize. Many of the discoveries
of human medicine are applied by
veterinarians, but the reverse is
often ;he case: some of the dis
covers ' made by animal-disease
research have been of inestimable
value in human medicine. .Health
of the farm animal is prime im
portance to human health. Ani
mal and animal products are in
separably associated with human
health and diseases. :;' r
More Cattle Treated
Cattle form the biggest num
ber of patients treated by vet
erinarians la the Willamette val
ley. Sheep come second. Horses
are beginning to show up more
and more as patients, not because
horses are less strong, but because
the horse population is increasing
in the valley Only a few veter
inarians report being called for
diseases of hogs. Operations to
remove nails and wire from the
stomach of a valuable cow is a
frequent occurrence. .
In large animals, such as! dairy
cattle, transfusions are done on
the ranch and not at the' hospital,
and the blood bank is maintained
by obtaining blood from slaughter
houses on prearrangement. High
bred new born calves, which are
in danger because of weakness.
J-are most frequent receivers of
blood.
Type doesn't enter into the ani
mal blood transfusion, ; and all
animals are anesthetized before
blood is drawn or administered.
Animal blood, like human, must
be given at once or refrigerated.
It can be kept in the bank for ap
proximately 28 days.
Dog Transfusions Given
From 30 to 40 blood . transfu
sions are given annually to dogs
at the Rankin hospital. Three
dogs are kept as donors. These
are in excellent health, given a
proper diet and proper exercise
each day. Following withdrawals

of blood the dog is blanketed and
packed in " hot water bottles to
prevent shock. Each is able to do
nate every six weeks if needed to
keep . the blood bank up. Many
valuable, highly trained farm dogs
have been saved by timely trans
fusion following injury: or ill
ness. Maintaining a blood, ban
has become routine in a veter
inary hospital. -
Losses caused by livestock di
seases and internal and external
parasites in this country are estl
mated at $418,000,000 a year. Vet
erinarians agree that much di
sease exists or breaks out on
farms that could be prevented by
sheer good management. Farm
ers are learning the principals of
good sanitation, however, as loss
of farm animals by disease or par
asites is loss of any profit on the
farm. And veterinarians have
learned that it is their business to
save the farm animal and not
merely "put it uot of misery' as
was the advice so often from the
old-time "horse doctor."
Hop Field Downy
Mildew Controls
Given by College
Anyone of three fungicides Is
applied to crowns sof hop plants
to reduce downy mildew in Ore
gon hopyards. But they are not
cure-alls, warns G. R. Hoerner of
the bureau of plant industry at the
state college.
Crown treatment is, however,
an economical and effective way
to reduce the amount of downy
mildew. In order of preference.
Hoerner lists (1) granular or pow
dered calcium cyanamide, (2) cop
per sulphate and hydrated lime
dust, or (3) zinc sulphate and hy
drated lime dust. Tbe calcium cy
anamide is not only a fungicide
but a source of nitrogen.
At least 10 pounds of zinc or
copper sulphate is used to 90
pounds of hydrated lime. Either
can be bought ready-mixed. '
Applications are made after old
vines have been removed and be
fore new shoots appear. If no hoe
ing is done, or if crowns are cov
ered with soil immediately after
hoeing, either dust may be applied
to soil surface. Approximately two
ounces per hill is the dose and a
tin can holding this amount is
used for applying. The material is
spread in an even layer over the
7

Lb.
crown In a circle about IS Inches
in diameter.
Also suggested in control meth
ods: Train as early as possible to
prevent shoots from coming in
contact with soil. Start spraying
or dusting as soon as vines have
been strung. Start suckering while
vines are being strung and con
tinue at regular intervals through
out the growing season.
Hassler Farm
Outstanding
Says Pulliam
5
Dairy products and livestock
totaled 77 per cent of the income
on the Al Hasselr farm. Sublimity
in 1948. Most of his other income
was from the sale of forage crop
seeds, principally bent grass and
vetch.
"I rely on livestock and dairy
products ifor my main source of
income for two reasons, says
Hassler. "I find that they are a
more stable source of income, and
that it is easier to maintain my
soil fertility when I have the
manure to put back on the land."
Hassler's operating capital is in
vested about equally in livestock
and , machinery, a healthy situa
tion, he believes.
"The livestock, through de
velopment of the young stock.
usually increases in value. The
machinery depreciates and the
two just about offset each other
if the balance between the two
is equal," says Hassler.
Hassler s main source of In
come is his 30-cow dairy herd. Al
though he now maintains a grade
herd of Guernseys, he is taking
steps to replace them with pure-
breds as fast as he can raise the
replacements from the few pure
bred cows he owns.
Cuts Production Costs
Using grass silage and irrigated
pasture for the first time this
year, Hassler believes he has

production. He raises' " His ' own
grain and plans to buy ;a small
amount of good quality green al
falfa to supplement the silage this
winter.
Feeding all of the grain raised
is a vital part of his soil building
program. Several hundred tons of
manure are spread each year. AH
of the land has been limed once
and some a second time. Crop
residues are put back in j the soil
to keep up the organic matter
supply. Phosphate and nitrogen
are used to supplement' the man
ure on remote parts of the farm
and on certain crops,
"Farmers in the Willamette val
ley "can profit by observing the
farming operations of ilassler."
says At L. Pulliam. county agent
at large for the state extension
service. Hassler's farm returned
in 1948 the highest , net income
per cropland acre of a group of
seven valley farms owned: by TV A
coonerators whose farm j account
books were analyzed recently by
the state college farm manage
ment department. The seven are

FIRST SUB-CLOVER GROWN
First subterranean clover grown
in the United States -was that
planted by Ben S. Elmer on his
Mulino farm in Clackamas coun
ty. Elmer planted less i than a
pound of seed, given to him by the
Oregon experiment station. This
was 10 years ago and the seed
from this plot of ground started
production of a crop now measur
ed in thousands of acres. Elmer
still grows subterranean clover.
