NEEDLECRAFT PATTERNS Sex Hormone« May Reduce 8wine Production Problems Skilled uee of sex hormones In hugs offers a possibility of bring­ ing more pork to American dinner tables and of easing the multiple problems of swine production at the same time, according to a re­ port in a national veterinary jour nal. Dr. L. M. Hutchings of Purdue university, writing In the Journal of the American Veterinary Medi­ cal association, said this hormone technique was developed by Pro­ fessors H. H. Cole and E. H. Hughes of the University of Cali­ fornia. Injection of the hormone, equine gonadotropin, into sows after the fortieth day of lactation shortened as much as two to four weeks the period between successive farrow- lngs, Dr. Hutchins stated. In addition to shortening the far­ rowing season, use of the hormone would allow greater lifetime pro­ duction per breeding animal—at least one extra litter per sow—pro­ vided farmers could adjust their feeding and management schedules to meet the stepped-up production program. Effectiveness of the hormone is attributed to its marked stimulat­ ing action on the ovaries. In the hands of experts, ft was over 95 per cent efficient in bringing about de­ sired results, the writer said. iO other rub acts faster in ALL-VEGETABLE LAXATIVE NATURE'S REMEDY (NR) TAB- LETS—A purely vegetable laxative to relieve constipation without the usual griping, sickening, perturbing sensa­ tions, and does not cause a rash.

Company Improves Side Delivery Rake A new side-delivery rake, engi­ neered from the ground up for power take-off raking and tedding, and completely designed for mech­ anized farming is now in produc­ tion. Manufacturers declare that a "history of the side-delivery rake, which is the machine you see piling up long rows of hay, straw and other crops for baling, shows that there has been little or no change in the machine since the advent of the tractor. It is the first all-new rake in 50 years.” Exclusive features of the rake are the floating reel and basket which permits use of the full length of the 64 pairs of raking teeth at all times and a positive chain pitch control which changes the angle of the teeth for different raking condi­ tions. Two speeds forward and one speed for tedding, or reverse rak­ ing, permit the operation of the First change in the mechanized side-delivery farm rake since the advent of the tractor is shown here. It has been engineered anew from the ground up and has floating reel and basket. rake at high tractor speeds. The four-bar reel is V-belt powered from the chain-driven power take­ off. The rake is this manufacturer’s third contribution toward complete mechanization of haymaking. A first one-man, twine-tying pickup baler produced commercially, and the new field bale loader already have cut huge chunks from the farmer’s haymaking schedule.

New Animal Repellent Will Lessen Free Meals Animal wildlife will find free lunches fewer and farther between next year. A new product developed by the B. F. Goodrich chemical company and tested by the state of Maine fish and game department at its Swan Island wildlife refuge, ntay be just what farmers have been seeking At Swan Island, the new material has been sprayed on leafy crops by biologists who observe that it will not wash off and that a deer, after nipping at the treated leaves, will turn up his nose at future free meals. Certain types of insects also are discouraged by the action of the repellent, researchers revealed. Crop damage by raiding wild deer runs in excess of $150,000 an­ nually in some districts of Maine and amounts to millions nationally. The search for satisfactory repel­ lents has been a major project.
