TRIFLES by Frances Turney
■sands make the mountain, moments make the year,
It was a beautiful day
Thursday until the water
went off. I had a hunch it
would be the water. The
telephone hadn’t been on
long enough to go off
again, it wasn’t hot or cold
or dark so I didn’t need
electricity, and I didn’t
want to cook, so it would
not be the propane. We
don’t have any problem
with the battery clock. It
always works.
Guy Mcllhaney lured
Henry off to Chip Mer-
rill’s field day at Ben-
brook and I don’t know
what that had to do with
the water pipe springing a
leak but our well has a
sixth sense that knows
when Henry crosses the
county line and goes
kaput. When deer season
comes along I’ll remind
Guy Mcllhaney what he
did to me on the last day
of September.
MEANWHILE, L. C.
Whiteley and Rocky Reed
came to the rescue, and
water flowed like water
once again. They came in
L. C.’s Whiteley Water
Well Drilling Company
Truck. Rock’s company is
Shamrock Drilling. It
really didn’t take two
companies to repair our
one leak, but it took two
men. it’s hard to get any-
body to dig a hole in the
ground, so when they
start loading the shovels
the bosses have to help
each other. It’s dtl old
southern custom they
learned from farmers. Far-
mers have been exploit-
ing friendship fof tnill-
enuims to get their dirty
work done.
Once they’d replaced
the leaky pPe and we d
all had a drink (of water)

didn’t believe me. But
then, he isn’t supposed to.
He’s a Gemini.
L. D. DIDN’T put much
stock in it, either. “Who
wants to dig a hole in the
ground to see what the
moon is up to?” he
asked. “Wouldn’t it be
easier to look at the sky.”
, I used to think we had
all the problems, but this
isn’t really true. H. D.
Hamrick was rushing into
the nursing home Mon-
day, a monkey wrench
in each hand. In a minute
he was back at the car for
two more handfuls of
monkey wrenches.
“Nursing homes don’t
have washing machine
problems, do they?” 1
asked.
“Oh, yes they do, too,”
he said, adding, after a
dramatic pause, “thank
goodness!”

Larue Payne told me the

“How are we supposed

“GET A Mr. Coffee, I

Then there are field

“You can just live on

his advice.

DEMONSTRATION GIVEN
AT CITY CLUB MEETING
MORE WINTER FEED
Last week we discussed winter feed-
ing. I was reminded of an incident that
occurred last winter. A rancher bought
a load of cottonseed cake from a feed
dealer (all of this occurred over a hun-
dred miles from Dublin). The cake was
almost black from mold. The dealer
told the rancher that the cake would
probably be ok. When the rancher came
to see me, and his veterinarian called
me he had lost 19 cows in a herd of
125 and several calves had starved be-
cause their mothers were dead or too
sick to produce milk. Another herd of
600 cows had problems just as severe.
What was the cause?
Cottonseed had been rained on just
before it was processed and the cotton-
seed meal then was made into cake and
the high moisture content coupled with
the heat of storage caused the cake to
mold. Moldy cake sometimes tastes
good to cows. If the mold is the “right
kind,” highly toxic aflatoxins may be
present. Here are a few examples across
the U.S. where moldy feed was fed:
1. A 1000 hen laying flock ate moldly
com. In 48 hours, 500 died. The other
500 had a drop in egg production down
to 5%. That is only 25 eggs per day. It
took 125 lbs of feed per day to produce
S*T\ho tMi lemSsliTv
the 25 eggs. That is 5 lbs of feed/egg,
«o it cost about 35 cents to produce one
egg!
2. About 250,000 turkeys were lost
after eating moldy feed (all on one
farm),
3. Sixty percent of a farm swine herd
died after eating moldy cojft.
4. A feedlot lost nearly 500 steers in
a two week period from moldy feed.
Some time ago, a feed dealer re-
ceived a load of cottonseed meal that
was apparently moldy. He blended it
with milo and sold it to some dairies.
Production dropped about 6-10 lbs per
day/per cow. The cows were obviously
off-feed and scoured for several days. It
took a long time (several months) for
the cows to recover.
Now that .you are aware of the pro-
blem of moldy feed or hay, the best
advice I can offer you is - do not buy it.
If you already own it - do not feed it. If
you are determined to feed it, feed it
only to 2,or 3 animals for a few days. If
no adverse affects are noticed, feed
more animals - but do not feed it to
pregnant animals. It also is usually safer
to feed older animals than younger
ones. By the way, be sure to tell your
veterinarian you fed some moldy feed
or hay when he comes to solve your
sick cow problem!
