European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 3, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Why pigs lose their tails someone told me that All pigs tails Are removed at birth. I was horrified. Then i saw a Yard full of pigs and they All had their tails. Are pigs tails Ever removed and Tor what purpose pigs raised by the total confinement method have their tails removed at birth because pigs in confinement Are under extreme stress and revert to cannibalism. The writes Jim Mason in animal factories is toward larger farms factory like mass production methods and a greater degree of Resl Richion for farm mammals the number of very Harrje. New farms is increasing the curious chopper by son a he Ore in the highly mechanized local confinement system pigs never see Daylight until they Are sent to Market. They Are conceived born weaned and finished in specialized buildings with automatic feeding watering and manure removal. The majority of pigs in the . Are raised this Way. When animals Are crowded and annoyed writes Mason the likelihood and frequency of aggressive encounters increases. In the restricted space of confinement pens less aggressive animals cannot get away to make the show of submission dictated by acute Tail biting frequently results when pigs have no place else to turn la s the Only Way they know of to Cut Down on their own number. Many times the Tail is bitten first and then the attacking pig or pigs continue to eat further into the Back. If the situation is not attended to the pig will die and be eaten says Mason. I asked Mason How and when the tails Are Cut. Tail Docking is done within a few Days afer he pigs Are he said. The Farmer simply clips Oft the Tail with a pair of shears or clippers. No aesthetic is used. Agriculturists claim that stress is minimized because the animals Are very Young and. According to these agriculturists Don t feel How old is the oldest bottle of wine in the world and where is it Carol Sullivan of the German wine information Bureau informs us that the world s oldest wine can be found in the Little town of Speyer in Germany in its wine museum.

Will you please comment on the advertisement that i m enclosing regarding pompeian Olive Oil the claim in this and in my opinion is erroneous. Al Tucci Colorado Springs Colo. The and you enclosed claims that pompeian Virgin Olive Oil is the finest made from Only the first cold pressing of Europe s finest the and further states that it s false to assume that an Olive Oil labelled pure is the Best Olive Oil. " Puie Olive Oil claims the and is a chemically refined product made from oils unsuitable Lor consumption in their natural the first time olives go through a press the Best Oil is extracted. The More olives Are pressed the More oleic acid gets into the Oil. As the undesirable oleic acid Content increases the Grade of the Oil decreases. An Olive Oil labelled Virgin is an excellent Oil. Bul there Are varying degrees of excellence. Ordinary Virgin Oil is allowed 3 percent of oleic acid superfine Virgin is allowed 1.5 percent and extra Virgin the very Best is allowed 1 percent. As the and Stales an Olive Oil labelled pure is a chemically refined product and is probably a mixture of pressings. It s perfectly of to use for frying and cooking bul when a delicate taste is important the finer grades of Oil should be used. I be Cut Back a great Deal on Salt simply because of warnings in the Media and a question occurred to me which no one i know can answer since thirst is one indication that we have eaten too much Salt does our body indicate to us in any Way that we have not had enough Salt is it possible to have a deficiency of Salt without realizing it ii is unlikely that a Salt deficiency occurs under Normal states prof. Gertrude Armbruster of Cornell University s division of nutritional sciences. Salt deficiencies Are rarely encountered because most foods naturally contain enough of it. You Don t have to Sprinkle Salt on meat. Fish poultry eggs or milk. It s already there. Salt is not one chemical but two a combination of sodium and Chloride. Sodium helps to maintain Normal water balance and Chloride aids in digestion. Intense sweating vomiting or diarrhoea can cause a considerable loss of sodium from the body but this is rare. Eating Ordinary food without the addition of Salt will not cause a deficiency of sodium. When i Wash my son s Down jacket i cannot get it dry in the dryer. All the Down feathers mass together in clumps. It takes a Day to dry out in the air and i have to keep shaking the jacket to redistribute the feathers so they can dry. La there any other solution Label information accompanying a Down and waterfowl Feather Vest made by St. John s Bay suggests that you add some dry Bath towels to the dryer along with the jacket to absorb the moisture. To minimize clumping of the feathers also throw in three Tennis balls. The balls bang against the jacket and separate the clumps.
