Public Auction Website illustrates how Purdue Extension helps Indiana By Keith Robinson Purdue Extension has launched an updated website that features personal accounts of those who have been served by Extension and how the programs improved their lives and businesses and strengthened their families and communities.

In addition to testimonials from individuals, the site includes summaries of Purdue Extension programs searchable by county. Farmer Paul Flint was like many producers last summer trying to deal with problems wrought by the drought. The co-owner of Flint Farms in Daviess County in southwest Indiana, where the drought was at its worst, had plenty of concerns and questions about the condition of his crops and how to care for his 75 head of cattle. Purdue Extension specialists and educators knew that he and many other producers needed help quickly. They organized a series of regional meetings with crop farmers and cattle producers throughout the state to Auction Center • 114 Hwy 68, Lynnville, IN Saturday, Feb. 16th at 10 am Advance Notice114 E.

He hosted a regional meeting in August that attracted many livestock producers. Purdue Agricultural Communication photo/ Tom Campbell. help them get a firm handle on problems and find solutions. Flint's farm was the host site of one such meeting in August. Flint expected 10-15 fellow producers to attend, but more than 50 showed up to learn of possible solutions to the short forage supply and escalating feed costs. "The people at Purdue put a lot of us at ease," Flint says. "They helped us to understand that it wasn't the end of the world. They calmed a lot of nerves."

Five ways to ensure happy and healthy pets By Ginny Grimsley Today's modern world shows how much our relationship with animals has changed, says animal chiropractic consultant Dr. Rod Block. "Back before the mechanical wonders of industrialization, we relied upon animals to carry the brunt of our work; essentially, their purpose was to haul loads, plow fields and chase down prey," says Block. "Today, tractors and other marvels of the post-industrial era have largely replaced the duties of the working animal. In a world where humans distance themselves more and more from one another, these animals have become our companions, family members and closest confidantes." More friends and custodians of animals—including dogs, horses and, yes, elephants, realize that they too suffer from spinal irregularities, he says. "Of course, any living creature with a spine is vulnerable to injury, which can Tool and Thursday, January 31st @ 5:30 PM CST EquipmEnT SalE incur years of suffering and even death," he says. With that in mind, he offers gift ideas for the furry family member that cannot tell you with language what it needs: • Dog harnesses: For those who haven't already noticed, collars and choke chains hurt dogs that have a habit of pulling during walks. Collars centralize stress on their neck. Ideally, you should train your dog to not pull. There are how-to books and programs that can help. In the meantime, and even after successful training, a dog harness works best on that rare occasion when, for example, a squirrel piques their interest. Harnesses appropriately distribute weight throughout a canine's torso. They're also appropriate for cats on leashes. • Need a chiropractor? Some animals go many years before their caretakers realize they have a significant mobility problem, or that there is an affordable solution to the problem. Many simply do not consider alternative health measures for their horse, dog or cat; they think their only options are expensive, invasive surgery, or nothing. To spot problems early, always monitor how they walk or run, and how they hold their head. "Pay attention to their movements, and how they respond to touch," he says. • Don't overfeed: An overfed dog or cat, just like an obese human, experiences damaging health consequences. Excess weight puts stress on the skeleton and joints, and obese cats and dogs can get diabetes. Feed them the appropriate amount of pet food, and do not give them scrap from the dinner table. If your dog has grown accustomed to begging at meal times, put him in another room when you sit down at the table. Our pets do not have the right digestion system for many human foods. • Dog beds: Know your dog. You wouldn't give a child's bed to a large adult; consider what's appropriate for your dog's length, weight and sleeping style. This knowledge will help you when confronted with the many styles of beds: bagel, doughnut and bolster beds; cuddler or nest beds; dog couches; round, rectangle or square beds; or elevated beds with frames. Also, consider manufacturer differences. Each may have its own definition of "large dog," for example. • Holistic options: As health-care avenues have expanded for humans, so too have they for pets. Often, the answer for human and animal well-being is not an overload of prescription medication. Acupuncture is a valid option with no adverse side affects that has shown positive results, especially for large animals like horses. In general, use common sense; an overstressed environment is not good for any living thing. Consider researching the latest alternative-health options for your animal. $139,900 Listing # 02410 Go to www.buypikecounty.com for more interior and exterior photos.
