COUNTY AGENT SAYS
ELECTRIC BROODER
( UTS LOSS OF PIGS
Seminole county farmers can re
duce pig loss in early spring litters
and increase rate of gain to weaning j
time by building a simple, electrically!
heated pig brooder in the corner of;
each farrowing pen, according to'
County Agent Bill Brigham.
Home-made electric brooders tested
by Purdue University in cooperation
-with the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture proved highly effective as pig
savers. Os 299 pigs farrowed alive in
pens equipped with electric brooders,
245. or 82 per cent were alive at

weaning time. Only 70.6 per cent of
113 pigs farrowed alive in pens with- 1
! out brooders were still alive at wean- ]
ling time. Electricity used during the <
: test period averaged only 27 kilowatt
! hours per litter.
i Easy to build, the brooder is made
by nailing a few boards tightly to- 1
■ gether from guardrail,’ about 10 in- ;
: ches above the floor, in the corner of
i the pen, A circular hole 14 inches in
diameter is cut in the center of then
I boards, and a reflector with light sock,:
iet is fitted over the hole, A 150 watt'
bulb supplies the heat. 1
-i ' 1
Individual farrowing houses, such
as “A-type” houses, may be fitted!
i with electric brooders too. Some hog
raisers set out A-type houses side by.;,
i side, and wire the brooders from a I
singld fine with a contact switch.atj
■ the entrance of each house. j ]
| Pig brooders not only protect pigs! ,

j being crushed by the sow. Light and ;

in the corner under shelter of the:
guard-rail- extension except while
i they are feeding. ',

construction are contained in a leaf- (

CAN YOU PROVE THAT (
YOU WERE BORN
I]
During the first six months of 1041, • j
,11,120 people wrote the division of)
information and statistics of the Geor-'
4 gia Department of Public Health not,
ori’v for proof that they were born 1
but to establish unquestionably where)
and when the birth occurred. Hun- i
dreds of others made’ application to;
■ local Health Offices and office of the J
Ordinary in counties.
There has beep a tremendous in- !
crease in the demand for certified 1
; copies of both birth and death perti
• ficates, due to regulations of defense;
; industries and strict requirements in >
j all lines of employment. The State |
Health Department has furnished to'
date 15.389 certified copies of births
against 9,752 in 1940 and 1,969 five
years ago. Counties again have more
than doubled there number of certified •
copies.’
Some of.the reasons for the in
! creased demand is due to v<-rtfieation
for old age assistance, dependent
i children aid, entrance requirement for
’ school in some states, requirement for
‘ marriage license in some states, for ’
! enlistment in navy, air and army forc
| es, employment of boys and girls in
1 industrial plants because of child la
' bor laws, and for employment for
; people in defense projects. Registra
' tion of births have become much more
| difficult in ihe past few months, for
' those whose birth was not recorded at
■ birth or those* who are over twelve
years of age. Your birth should be re-'
corded the county in which you •

were born. It is the parents duty to
I Uwi recorded, Any who gre in doubt j
{should sm the ordinary or County!
Nurse to be sure that births re

Those who are over twelve years of
age will have to secure delayed birth
application form from County Nurse.

Soldier’s Meal
Tickets Are
Explained
ATLANTA, GA., Jan—A Soldier
can travel the length utu| bredth of
he country without a cent of cash un
ler a new plan recently adopted by
the Quartermaster Corps.
The plan, through the issuance of
meal tickets to small groups or indi
viduals, insures the soldiers plenty of
food while traveling as each ticket is
*ood for SI.OO per meal in dining
;ars and 7 cents in restaurants.
The tickets are issued by the Quar-
I termaster of the post or camp at
- vhich the soldier is stationed and
| specifies the roufp and destination of
! he travel.
j “On several occasions restaurant
i perators have refused to accept the
ickets”, Brigadier General James L.
?rink. Fourth Corps Aiea Quarter
master, said here today. w lt should
>e understood that the tickets are as
?ood as money, They wj)l be cashed
by the Finance Officer named on the
ticket when mailed to him.”
This new plan takes the place of the
Id system of giving soldiers money:
with which to buy food while travel- 1
ing and insures that the okiiers will
be well fed as the tickets can not be
exchanged for anything except food.

diseases by eating the proper food,
getting regular hours of rest, and es
tablish regular health habits.
3 By not taking undue exposure to
weather and avoiding exposure to dis
eases that may develop in our com-.
munities,
4. If ill see your physician early

It fell to earth, I know not where.
But not long after I was told
That twenty others had my cold!”
