Select children's clothing carefully-
With the ringing of ichool bells
just a few weeks away, it'i time to
begin thinking about, plunning for,
and buying children's full and winter
clothes. Clothing stores are now all
decked out in new fall styles and
colors.
Before you start shopping, do
some planning at home.
Take time to inventory your i
child's clothes. Can you add some
thing new to something old such
as a new top with old pants? What
can you revamp into a fashionable
item for fall? Can you make a dress
into a top. change the sleeve length,
or change a hem?
Once you have gone over last
year's clothes, make a list of the
new garments needed. What colors
should they be? Can you mix and
match? What are your child's mea
surements in case he or she can't go
shopping with you? How much can
you afford to spend?
People shop in many different
places today to extend (heir family
clothing dollar. You may find good
buys at a flea market, yard sale or
discount store.
But be a sharp shopper. Be aware
of seam finishes, fabric grain,
flaws, spots and stains, general
construction and discount store
Drink lots of
The Tuft's University Diet and
Nutrition Letter says that since the
body is one-half to two-thirds water,
without taking in enough fluids
you could become gravely ill within
a matter of days. This is particu
larly important to keep in mind
during the hot summer months,
when you lose more water than
usual through perspiration and
thereby run a higher risk of suffer
ing from chills, dizziness, nausea or
headaches that could be brought
on by dehydration.
Thirst is the brain's signal that
the body's water level is failing and
that it's time to replace lost fluid.
But people who increase their
physical activity in the summer
should not rely on thirst alone as a
guide for how much to drink. The
thirst mechanism simply becomes
less efficient as we age making
older pople less likely to feel thirsty.
Medications for the elderly
The elderly are a partic
ularly vulnerable group when
it comes to food-drug and
drug-nutrient interactions. Peo
ple over age 65 use more legal
drugs than any other group
in our population. Misinform
ation about nutrition and
health is often written specif
ically for the elderly.
Because the elderly often
have more than one medical
problem, physicians often pre
scribe several different medi
cines. Hypertension, heart dis
ease, emphysema, brain dis
orders, arthritis and cancer
are all health problems which
may require a prescribed drug.
These prescribed drugs may
then be combined with self
medication. Use of over-the-counter
drugs for pain, weak
ness, headache, nervousness,
gas, constipation or diarrhea
are common forms of self
medication. Another form of
self-medication is the use of
prescribed medicines meant
for friends or relatives.
Bull maintenance tips after the breeding season
After the breeding season, bulls
become a necessary evil or unwel
come visitor. Many producers might
like to forget about them for the
balance of the year and some almost
do. While it is true that bulls during
the post-breeding season do not
require much management, ade
quate planning and care which can
ensure that bull costs will be kept
within reason and that bulls will be
ready to go again the next time
they are needed.
In most cases the breeding sea
son will commence in the early
summer and extend for two to
three months. If a 60-day pre
breeding conditioning period is
allowed, this leaves a post-breeding
season of about seven months,
usually coming in the fall and win
ter. Goals for this period are basi
cally as follows: keep feed costs at a
practical minimum; keep the bulls
in modest condition; minimize
chance of injuries and allow growth
of young bulls.
Post-Breeding Appraisal
As bulls come out of the breed
ing pasture, one of the first steps
should be to appraise the bull bat
tery and sort them three ways. The
largest groups should be the mature
bulls in good condition that won
require any special care. Perhaps
the most important group is the
young bulls that are still growing
and need higher quality feed dur
ing the winter. Bulls that are ex
tremely thin or need special care
for other reasons can be placed in
this group as well. The last group is
policies for Irving on garments, (in
the store) and returning garments.
Also check for content and care
labels.
If possible, take your child shop
ping with you. Children like to
have a say in what they wear and to
look like their peers at school.
Shopping teaches decision-making.
Choose three or four garments
within your price range, and then
let your child make the final deci
sion. Children need to learn that
their clothes express their own at
titudes and personality.
Remember that the most expen
sive purchase is not always the best
buy. The choice you make should
depend on your answers to these
questions:
How many changes of clothing
docs your child have?
'How fast does your child grow?
How hard is your child on clothing?
Will the garment be passed on to
another child?
Is the garment a "classic" item
that will stay in style or a "fad"
item?
What activities docs your child
participate in?
How docs the garment Tit?
How is the garment constructed?
water
It's very important to drink at
least six to eight cups of fluids a
day whether you are thirsty or not.
Water, juice and milk will do fine.
Alcoholic beverages, however, as
well as the caffeine in coffee, tea
and cola drinks increase water out
put and thereby raise fluid needs.
They should not be considered as
part of the six to eight cup daily
requirement.
Add variety
More adults are packing lunches
to work. With careful planning,
these meals can easily be made
nutritious, flavorful and safe.
A nutritious lunch has four parts:
a protein source (meat, fish, poul
try, eggs or legumes); bread or
crackers; fruits and or vegetables
and milk. A sandwich usually com-

for the old or crippled bulls that
have completed their productive
life and are to be marketed.
Nutrition
All bulls should have access at
all times to a high-quality mineral
mix. Phosphorus is a critical min
eral for successful reproduction and
is not present in adequate amounts
in dry or harvested forage. Good
sources of supplemented phospho
rus are steamed (feed grade) bone
meal ordicalcium phosphate. These
can be mixed with trace mineral
salt in equal parts or two parts salt
to one part mineral.
Vitamin A nutrition also is impor
tant to the resting bull. Natural
sources are green growing plants or
high quality hay with good green
color. Supplemental vitamin A can
be added to the mineral mix or fed
with a supplement. It can also be
administered in the form of an
intramuscular injection once or
twice during the winter, although
the oral supplement in cheaper.
Mature bulls in good condition
can exist very well on an essentially
all-roughage diet. While the amount
will vary some with the size of the
cattle, a good rule to remember is
about two percent of their body
weight in dry feed per day. Protein
needs will parallel closely those of a
dry pregnant mature cow in the
middle-third of gestation, so it can
be supplemented as needed.
Yearlings
Yearlings should be left with the
cow herd for 60 days or less. Beyond
What type of care does the garment
require?
Consider growth features for the
prc-school and early grades child.
Room for growth is an essential
fiart of good design and fit. Look
or garments with expandable fea
tures such as:
'Adjustable shoulder straps,
Deep hems for lengthening.
'Undefined waistlines in one-piece
garments,
Separates,
Roomy armholcs,
Adjustable cuffs.
Elastic waistlines, and
Stretch or knit fabrics.
To get the best purchase for your
clothing dollar, have your child try
the garment on and then have the
youngster sit, bend and stretch.
How does the item measure up? A
garment that is too big not only
looks sloppy but is a safety hazard.
One that is too small confines the
Calcium: We

women have a special need for

health depends on getting adequate
calcium now! Lack of sufficient

adult years makes your bones sus
ccptible to the painfuly destructive
disease osteoporosis in later years.
Did you know.. .that your bones
are living tissue? It's true: They
don't stop needing calcium when
you stop "growing". Bones continue
to increase in density and thickness
to age 40 and unless they get ade

Moist, protein-rich sandwich fil

must be kept cold. If possible,
freeze the sandwich overnight. Add
tomatoes and lettuce just before
packing it in the lunch box.
If it is impossible to keep sandwich

that can be opened at lunch time. A

that time their condition will fall
off to such a degree that it may
have long range effects upon their
growth. After removal from the
cow herd, yearlings should be kept
separate from the older bulls at
least through their second winter.
Yearlings should be placed on
the best available roughage, such
as regrowth from hay fields or high
quality hay. Their supplemental
feeding regime can be equated to
the program for bred-yearly heif
ers. These cattle still are growing
rapidly, in addition to replacing all
the condition they lost in breeding
pasture. Extra care and feed of
yearling bulls after the breeding
season will result in stronger, more
attractive mature bulls with a much
higher salvage value.
Salvage Bulls
Often bulls that have completed
their productive life because of age
or injury can be marketed to
advantage after a brief period of
high-energy feed program. Bulls
will vary greatly in condition at the
end of the breeding season, depend
ing upon the number of cows per
bull, the length of the breeding sea
son and the quality of the feed
available.
However, most bulls will gain
very rapidly and efficiently after
the breeding season if they are pro
vided with the necessary nutritional
level. These bulls should be placed
on excellent pasture or free-choice
hay of high quality and then fed a
full feed of the concentrate feed
that provides the most economical
child's physical activity.

nutrients such as lactose and vitamin
D that help your body use calcium
more effectively. Did you know..
That even when you're watching
calories, dairy foods are still your
best food choice for calcium? It's
true: Reduced calorie, lowfat milk,
yogurt and cheeses are especially
high in cal cium and give you other
valuable nutrients as well. Cut cal

Did you know.. .that most women
do not consume the recommended
amount of calcium each day? It's
true: You need 800 mg of calcium
daily. A cup of milk or yogurt, and
two ounces of cheese will supply
about 34 of it. The rest can come

College-bound
laundry tips
Does your home have a college
bound youth? Why not get him or
her started in the ABCs of "doing
laundry" while you're able to look
over the novice's shoulder? And,
when packing up your collegian's
home-away-from-home necessities,
include some practical extras such
as laundry products, a plastic
measuring cup and directions to
help with the first few washing
ventures.
Put the laundry products in a
suitable sized plastic bag to prevent
spills. Find a creative way to in
elude your laundry hints-attach
them to the bag or place them in it.
The hints could be suggestions
for sorting instructions (wash dark
colored shirts, pants and towels
separately from white underwear
to prevent pastel colored or gray
underwear), special care tips (Use a
pretreatment product or liquid de
tergent on heavy wear areas to
prevent soil build-up), or impor
tant reminders ("Don't overload
the machine!").
energy source (usually a cereal
grain). Concentrates can be fed at
the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per head
per day, although when fed at this
level the concentrate should be
split into two equal feedings. At
this nutritional level bulls can be
expected to gain between three to
five pounds per day for at least 60
days.
Mature cattle also make excel
lent use of silage, if that feed is
available.
Bull Pastures
It is a good idea to have a bull
pasture that is somewhat isolated.
Bulls kept away from cows will
remain quieter and will fight less. A
pasture with adequate area also
will encourage exercise and will
reduce confrontations betwen bulls.
One additional consideration is
to make sure that bulls have ample
protection from extreme weather
stress. Spring blizzards can cause
frost bite of bulls' scrotums affect
ing the normal function of the
testes and eqididymis. Since devel
opment and maturation of sperm
takes about 60 days, stress in March
and April can cause poor semen
quality in May and June.
Bull Health
Bulls should be included in the
normal herd health pgoram. They
appear to be especially vulnerable
to external parasites, so preventa
tive steps need to be taken to avoid
flies in the summer and grubs and
lice in the winter.
