Pour oil and milk into a Stockman's Roundup Cattle news related 5 JlL- I by Bob Pawelek-OSU Livestock Agent U.S. cattle numbers may stall in 1996 The U.S. cattle herd may stop growing in 1996, but it's still expanding this year. The nation's July 1 herd was two percent larger than I994's midyear count, according to the USDA's cattle inventory report, released July 21. At 41.5 million head, USDA's first estimate for the 1995 calf crop also was two percent over last year's level. "Still, this year's sharp downturn in calf prices and the prospects for continued low prices probably has started having an effect," says James Mintert, livestock marketing economist for Kansas State University Extension Service. USDA's report indicated cow-calf operations were holding three percent fewer beef heifers as replacement stock. Beyond that, cow slaughter during the first half of 1995 was nearly four percent larger than 1994's. That's made some industry observers question whether producers already have begun liquidating part of their herd. Mintert cautioned that slaughter cow imports from Mexico rose drastically in the first few months of 1995. After the Mexican cattle are accounted for, the U.S. cow slaughter through June is actually very close to 1994's.Mintertsuspects U.S. herd cutbacks could pick up during the 1996 fourth quarter, however, as producers intensify culling throughout the winter. Mystery disease killing Minnesota cows A mysterious disease has killed 90 cows on a farm near Fosston, Minn. About 50cows and 40 young livestock have died on the farm of Art Ferguson since June. The cattle's water and feed have been tested for poisons and checked out okay. Autopsies showed some of the cows looked fine, but the inside of others had deteriorated. Other animals were sore footed and had swollen muscles. Neither Ferguson nor his vet could figure out what was wrong. Tissue samples were sent to North Dakota State University in Fargo. Tissue and blood samples have also been sent to labs in Iowa and Michigan for more extensive tests. Because the cattle's immune system seemed affected. Bovine Immune Disorder, a cattle disease similar to human AIDS was a suspect. But the disease has not been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt. measuring cup but do not stir. Add to yams. Blend well. Add to flour mixture and mix lightly with a fork until mixture holds together. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, about 12 kneading strokes. Roll dough about 14 thick and cut into rounds with floured biscuit cutter. Remold and reroll the excess and cut more biscuits. The rest of the excess can be rerolled once again, but this time cut it in strips for twisted bread sticks. Place rounds and sticks on a baking sheet. Children can help; have them cut with animal shape cutters. Bake cakes at 425 F. for 10-20 minutes. Serve hot or split with cold and toast. It is better to use boiled yams that , have been allowed to drain excess moisture from them, otherwise more flour will need to be kneaded into the dough until it looses its stickiness and can be rolled. If you like flecks of orange showing in the cakes, leave some some small chunks of yams rather than mashing out Butter adds 100 calories Salad Dressing adds 80 calories Sour Cream adds 25 calories Brown Gravy adds 40 calories Cheese Sauce adds 30 calories Herbs, Spices, adds 0 calories Lemon, Vinegar Gravy From Bouillon Gravy is a source of extra calories. There are 1 64 calories in 14 cup of gravy made with meat drippings, flour and milk. There are only 60 calories in 14 cup of gravy made with flour and bouillon. You may want to try this recipe in order to cup down on calories. Another method to make gravy is to boil the turkey dripping with one cups hot water, then add a tray of ice cubes to bring the fat to the surface of the juices. Remove the fat. Then remove a cup of juice for thickening in a glass jar. Boil the juices. Measure 2 tablespoons flour into the jar, seal and shake like fury. Tap the lid with a scraper before opening the jar, to knock the flour from the top. Shake again. Slowly add thickening to the boiling juices in the roasting pan, and stir. Adapted by NormaL. Simpson from Food Preparation Affects Calories by Ann C Grandjean and Carol J. Bennett, Swanson Center for Nutrition, Omaha, Nebraska Who does the housework? by Jan Hare, OSU Extension Family and Adult Development Specialist When retirement arrives, older adults are faced with new challenges as their roles change. Couples often report increased enjoyment during the first few months of retirement. However, as time goes on, wives often perceived that they are shouldering an unfair amount of the household work. Then marital happiness suffers. Research has consistently shown that wives spend much more time than husbands in household tasks. Even after both the husband and the wife are retired, wives do more of the cooking, cleaning and laundry. The challenge for older couples is to recoenize the chaneine nature of their rrw and to negotiate a division of household labor that is perceived as fair by both. (Source: R.

Locating furnace filter important Can't find the filter on your home furnace? It's a dilemma common to many homeowners. When houses change owners, the location of the filter often isn't passed on to the new occupants. Usually the filters are located behind a panel on the front of the furnace or in the sheet metal box next the furnace. In a few cases the filter is located behind the grille rather than at the furnace or heat pump. The grill should be hinged with a wing nut or knurled nut to aid in getting to the filter. If the filter has been removed and not replaced, use a tape measure to estimate the size of the opening, usually some combination of 1 6, 20 or 25 inches length and width. What to do when there's no W-2 by Alice Mills Morrow, OSU Extension Family Economics Specialist If you were employed during 1 995 and do not receive a W-2 statement showing your taxable wages, tips and witholdings from your employer by January 31, send the employer a self-addressed stamped envelope and request the W-2. If by February 1 5, you still do not have the W-2 form, contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) at (1-8OO-829-IO40). When you call, have available the name of your employer and all the information you have on your wages and witholdings. The IRS will then contact the employer. all the chunks to a puree. The cakes made of less oil had less volume than the batch when we reduced the oil to 14 cup. But the texture was good, and the same delicious flavor. ! The flavor seemed to be a little flat, until we recalled that the cakes are to be eaten like bread or biscuits, which are not sweet. Two options are to add 18 teaspoon gingerorblack pepper. Another option is to add 18 teaspoon molasses. These flavors may be too strong for the delicate flavor of sweet potatoes but the brown sugar option mentioned above may be just enough extra flavor for your palate.
