Beef cattle have come a long way since timee when oxen
were yoked to plows. Modern science and research have changed
many ideas regarding production of beef cattle. Methods of
producing beef need 15 yean ago are too Inefficient for today’s
beef growers who now measure production in pounds per acre
of feed.
The yoke is no longer on the necks of cattle. The yoke to-
day straddles and retards our acceptance of now ideas, and
Down down our putting into practice those things revealed by
- reoeerch to be more efficient.

a tamed version of iodine,

throats and safe for children
to use. The basic ingredient
is poly vinylpyrrolidone - iodine
(PVP-iodine), a product devel-
oped during World War II for
use as a plasma extender. Even
in its concentcated form, Isodine

ahd the creaminess (but not the potency) of eggnog, this newly
created winter beverage joins the ranks of treats for young-timers
during the holidays. One envelope of chocolate milk shake mix is
the ingredient that does the trick, and when combined with two
eggs, milk, sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla, makes a creamy winter
beverage that is especially nourishing for youngsters “on-the-go”
during the busy holiday season.
