Finances
June ii the lime of year for wed
ding bells. Somewhere on the list of
marriage plant, the couple ought
to reserve a slot for financial
planning.
Finances are an important part
of the marriage relationship.
When a counle marries, each
brings to the marriage attitude values
Eating, TV related
Even though TV does not con
tain calorics it is fattening, espe
cially for children. The more time
children spend watching TV, the
more snacks they will eat, and
more of those snacks are likely to
be foods advertised on TV.
Foods advertised heavily on chil
dren's television programs are cal
orically dense foods such as sugared
cereals, candy bars, cakes, cookies,
and soda pop.
Unless they do a lot of running
jumping, swimming, walking or
are otherwise very active physically,
children won't use the calories con
tained in such foods.
To complicate matters, stars of
children's TV programs are rarely
obese themselves. As a result,
children may not associate eating
the prominently advertised, high
calorie foods with overweight.
A study conducted on 13,000
children found that obesity increased
one to three percent for each hour
of TV watched each day. This was
true even though the obese and
non-obese children spent the same
number of hours in other activities
with friends.
Many children spend a great
deal of time watching television. A
recent survey of children found
that they watch TV 24 hours per
week. Children in the study, age 6
to 1 1 , spent almost the same amount
of time in front of the TV set as in
school.
If you are concerned about your
child's weight, pay attention to the
foods he or she requests or buys,
the amount of physical activity the
child gets, and the kinds of snacks
Planning "dream home"
There's much speculation that
the "American Dream" is out-of-reach
for most Americans. While
no two people define the "Dream"
exactly the same way, there is general
agreement that it includes employ
ment opportunities, good nutrition,
stable families and home owner
ship. Let's take a look at how the
housing part of the American Dream
has evolved, and teaching about
Leather advice
As leather ages, it becomes sof
ter and more comfortable to wear.
Topgrain leather is the outer
layer of skin and is the most dura
ble, most expensive and easiest to
finish.
Split leather is skin that has been
sliced into thin layers; it is less
durable and can stretch or shrink.
Buying slightly larger since they
may shrink when cleaned.
Losing some color when cleaned.
The need to reapply finishes after
each cleaning. (Especially spot and
stain resistant).
The cost of cleaning more expen
sive regular dry cleaning.
Wiping with a damp cloth to
remove surface soil.
Take time to communicate with child
The methods many parents use
to get children to do things, or to
stop doing certain things, fall into
five categories of techniques.
Some parents may successfully
shift through each of these catego
ries while trying to get little Joel to
put his wagon away.
First there is the demanding par
ent. He or she gives a simple posi
tive command: "Joel, I want you to
put your wagon away." Many beha
viors can be taught witn snort

important
and feelings about the family money
and how it should be managed.
These attitudes, values and feelings
of wife and husband may be differ
ent. It takes time, effort and com
munication to arrive at a common
understanding.
A couple should estimate their
the child eats. Since many behav
iors related to obesity are also
related to the amount of time spent
watching TV, it may be easier to
monitor the child's TV viewing
time than concentrating on count
ing calories
Insecticides
Cattle grubs cost the beef indus
try thousands fo dollars annually.
Losses result from poor gain by
infested animals or from paralysis
which may occur when grubs migrate
through the spinal canal. Occasional
ly secondary infection may develop
in grub emergence holes. On slaugh
ter animals grub damage in loin
muscles causes trim loss and down
grading of carcasses. Hides of grub
by cattle are prepared with holes in
the thickest, most vulnerable part
of the hide.
Life History
The adults are known as heel
flies or warble flies. They appear in
late spring or early summer. Two
species are involved. The northern
cattle grub lays its eggs singly on
hairs on the lower part of the
animal's body. The common cattle
grub attaches her eggs in the same
areas, but may attach as many as a
dozen eggs to a single hair. Adult
flies do not feed so they live only
three to ten days.
The eggs hatch in about four
days and the tiny larvae crawl
down the hair to the skin where
they use their mouthparts and enzy
matic secretions to penetrate the
skin.
History: Land ownership was a
powerful magnet to many immi
grants in the nation's pioneering
ways. Individuals and families tra-1
veled west for free land, particu
larly after passage of the Home
stead Act of 1862. The land was
theirs if they lived on it for three
years. This usually included build
ing shelter for protection from the
elements, hostile humans, and ani
mals. The Homestead Act formal
ized procedures used since the first
Europeans arrived in North America-National
legislation passed in
the 1 930's greatly affected how present
day Americans feel about housing.
The intent of most of this legisla
tion was to provide jobs and stimu
late the economy; the result was
affordable housing for many fami
lies. Perhaps the most significant
change was the introduction of the
amortized mortgage. For the first
time, many families could become
homeowners by paying a fixed
monthly amount for principal and
interest on loans. Before, most
homes sold for cash.
r"nnorps established a eoal of "...a
suitable living environment for every
reauests with words that children
learn to turn off.
There is the negative parental
approach in which the parent tells
the child what not to do: "Joel,
don't leave your wagon in the yard."
In this approach, however, the child
isn't told what the parent wants
him or her to go ahead and do. A
child's life is full of don'ts. Children
need to know what to do in addi
tion to what not to do.
The threatening parent tells the
child hell be punished in some

money to do everything or buy

Priorities have to be set and cho
ices have to be made as the finan
cial plan is developed. While agree
ment on the financial priorities
may be difficult, lack of agreement
will create future difficulties.
As the financial plan is deve
loped, the couple needs to discuss
whose income will be used for what
expenses. A couple may choose to
pool all their earnings and use this
"family income" for family expen

Or, a couple may choose to each

The erubs suffer verv hich natu
ral mortality during their devel
opment because of the host's natu
ral resistance. Cattle of all breeds
are the normal host, but occasion
ally horses are attacked. Calves
and yearlings tend to have more
grubs than older stock.
Little is known about the larvae
after it enters the animal's body but
in one or two months the first
common cattle grubs have migrated
to just beneath the lining of the
esophagus. Northern cattle grubs
appear in the spinal canal after that
same time interval.
The grubs live in those locations
for about six months and then
migrate to the topline of theanimal.
When the larvae first arrives in the
back it cuts a small breathing hole
in the hide, then molts in a pouch
a warble between the inner and
outer layers of skin. After growing
rapidly for six to eight weeks, the
fully grown larvae cuts a hole, exits
the warble and falls to the ground.
There it crawls under some object
and transforms to a pupa. The
pupal stage last two weeks to 60
days depending upon the weather.

Today tax laws subsidized home
ownership. The single largest sub

Thus, it's not surprising that
home ownership is considered desir

Furthermore, housing norms and
preference have not changed signif-
icantly over the last 15 years.
What does this mean for your
children? First, your children will
probably have a high desire for
home ownership at some time on
their lives. However, they may not
be in a position to buy a house. The
median-priced home today is beyond
the buying ability of the median-
income household. In order to buy,
many families must explore options
they feel are not optimum. For
instance families with two incomes
wav: "Joel, it vou dont put your
wagon away, I'll hide it and you'll
never get it again." Will you really
do that or are you making empty
threats? Threatening communica
tion is a tiresome style for kids to
endure.
In the punishment style the par
ent puts the wagon away without
comment to the child and forbids
use of it the next day. But how will
childrn learn if you aren't a positive
teacher?
The reasoning parent explains
the cause and effect: "Joel, put
your wagon in the basement because
it will get wet outside and the rain
will rust it."
The reasoning parent is the best
teacher. This parent creates a posi
tive attitude toward the instruc
tion, increases the child's know
ledge, and develops a routine beha
vior pattern for similar situations
in the future.
While some ways of communi
cating take more time than others,
the time-consuming methods are
often more effective in teaching
children appropriate behavior.

The couple may even choose to
keep all income separate and each
contribute a designated amount
toward the household expenses,
Morrow says. But however, the
incomes are pooled and divided, it
is important that the system is
agreeable to both spouses and that
both know the family financial
priorities and the family financial
status.
Discussing and developing finan

cycle.
Control
Control of grubs can be achieved
easily and effectively using syste
matic insecticides at the proper
time. Application should be timed
to kill the grubs during the 30-to
60-day early migration period after
heel fly activity has stopped in the
fall, usually after the first killing
frost. This will kill the grubs before
they reach the gullet or spinal
column.
Pour-on application methods are
convenient and cost effective. Injec
tion of Ivermectin as part of total
parasite control program is also
effective on grubs.
Cattle heavily infested with large,
first-stage grubs can be injured and
sometimes killed by the reaction of
their body to the treated dead
grubs. M ost herds have low enough
grub populations that cutoff dates
are not that important. However,
for imported cattle and herds that
have had large numbers of grubs,
the cutoff date must be adhered to
strictly to prevent losses.

control see the Cow-Calf Manage
ment Guide. CL705.

guardians of children who plan to
go trick-or-treating this Halloween:
Warn children not to eat any of
their treats before they get home.
Examine all treats carefully for
evidence of tampering before allow
ing children to eat them.
Look for costumes, masks, beards
and wigs labeled "Flame Resist
ant." Although this does not mean
these items wont catch fire, such
labeling indicates that they will
resist burning and should extin
guish quickly once removed from
the ignition source. Flimsy mate
rials and outfits with big. baggy
sleeves or billowing skirts should
be avoided to minimize the risk of
contact w ith candles or other sour
ces of ignition.
