Septic system needs
proper maintenance
There's not a substitute for proper
, maintenance of a septic tank sys
, tern, including regular pumping.
People purchasing expensive
biological or chemical additives to
, aid or accelerate settling or
. decomposition of solids are spend
ing money needlessly because the
additives aren't necessary in a
properly functioning system and
won't eliminate the need for
. pumping.
But a properly installed and
functioning septic system does not
need frequent pumping.
In Oregon, a 1,000 gallon septic
tank is used for a three bedroom
home. If six people live in the same
house, the tank will need pumping
about every 1 8 months. But with a
family of two, the tank needs
pumping only about evry 5.9 years.
Pumping frequency will vary not
only by size of household but by
appliances, such as a garbage dis
Keep it clean briefs
Here's an easy cleaning tech
nique to keep faucet fixtures shiny.
Dab the fixtures dry whenever
water is splashed on them. Water
-deposits will not form because
water is not allowed to
evaporate on the surface.
Shaking or vacuuming area rugs
before laundering removes loose
particles to make washing more
effective.
After treating a spot or a stain
on a washable item, launder im
mediately to wash away the stain
and the stain removal product.
Here's another tip on the care of
knives. Never soak them in hot
water prolonged moisture will
eventually warp, roughen and even
loosen wood handles. Instead, al
ways wash knives quickly in hot
soap or detergent suds and rinse,
then wipe them dry at once.
Don't over-crowd the dryer with
permanent press items. These
fabrics need room to fluff away
wrinkles. And do remove clothes
promptly after the dryer stops.
In soft water, less detergent may
be needed. In hard water, more
detergent is needed to tie up the
hardness minerals.
The power scrub cycle on dish
washers makes elbow grease a
thing of the past. The cycle cleans
the baked-on food and grease on
casseroles, pots and pans. Hot

duty cycle scrubs them clean and

Disinfecting utensils and work
surfaces after handling foods such
as raw meat and poultry can min

apply liberally and soak the items
for 10 minutes. Rinse well with
clear water.
Water exercise
may meet needs
Many people who prefer a softer
exercise than, say, jogging or aero
bic dancing, have found that swim
ming pool workouts are ideal.
Water workouts are less stressful
to the joints and muscles. That's
important if you're overweight, re
covering from an injury, suffer
arthritis or heart disease or tire
easily.
Yet, water exercise meets your
more advanced fitness needs, too.
The water's resistance makes many
movements harder to do and there
fore, very effective at building
strength and flexibility.
The water feels good, too, as it
gently massages and refreshes you.

Know your credit
Increasing your consumer credit
may not be advisable even if a cred
itor is willing to loan you money or
increase your credit card limit.
Before increasing the amount of
consumer debt, determine how
much credit you can safely assume.
You need to study your credit
situation.
How much credit you can safely
assume depends on the amount of
dependability of your income, the
size of your family, your day-today
expenses, and the amount of
money you have available for
emergencies.
One measure of debt is the debt
to income ration, that is the por
tion of your income that goes to
pay for credit purchases. Gener
ally, it is recommended that you
not spend in excess of 20 percent of
your take-home pay for repayment
ofconsumerdebt. Consumberdebt,
do not include your mortgage
payment, explains Alice Mills
Morrow, OSU Extension family
economics specialist.
To determine the per cent of.
income you spend on consumer
debts, add up all your current
monthly payments for installment
loans, credit cards, educational
debts, car loans and other credit
purchases. Next, divide your
monthly take-home pay by 6.
If the total of your monthly
payments is greater than 1 6 (about
17) of your take-home pay, you
have about as much consumer debt
Blackleg bacterin proves effective
Blackleg is a disease caused by
Clostridium chauvoei and primar
ily affects cattle under two years of
age and is usually seen in the better
doing calves. The organism is taken
in by mouth. Symptoms first noted
are those of lameness and depres
sion. A swelling, caused by gas
bubbles, often can be felt under the
skin as a crackling sensation.
Occasionally, sudden death occurs
with no symtoms observed.
Upon a post mortem examina
tion, the infected area is composed
of black, dead (necrotic) muscle
which is pocked with gas bubbles.
Diagnosis is based on the symp
toms of lameness with a gaseous
swelling under the skin in young
cattle and is confirmed by post
mortem and laboratory tests.
Prevention is readily accomp
lished by the use of Blackleg bac
terin which over the years have
proven very effective. Vaccination
at less than 4 months of age will not
produce a lasting immunity. Calves
vaccinated at less then 4 months
should be revaccinated at 5-6
months.

Financial planning necessary
Money isn't everything in a mar
riage, but how it's managed is
important to the marital relation
ship. Money management should en
hance the marital relationship by
making both spouses feel good
about the relationship and them
selves as individuals.
Each partner is likely to bring to
the marriage different attitudes and
feelings about money and how it
should be managed. The couple
needs to discuss what money means,
priorities for its use and develop a
budget for the first year.
It takes time, effort and com
munication to arrive at a common
understanding about money.
There is no one way to manage
money. Some couples pool all
income and share expenses. Some
pool part of their income for shared
expenses and goals while each
Malignant edema is a disease of
cattle of any age caused by C.I.
septicum. It occurs as a wound
infection. The organism gains
entrance to the body in deep wounds
and can even be introduced into
vaginal or uterine wounds in cows
following difficult calving.
The symtoms are those primar
ily of depression, loss of appetite
and a wet doughy swelling around
the wound. Temperatures of 106
degrees or more are associated with
the infection with death frequently
occurring in twenty-four to forty
eight hours.
The disease can be prevented by
the use of Clostridium septicum
bacterin usually produced in com
bination with other bacterin.
Clostridium Novyi. Infections
caused by CI. novyi, called Black
disease, in cattle, occur sporadi

however, it is thought to gain
entrance into the body by a wound
