Appanoose County has been accepted as a modified accredited county for bovine tuberculosis. This brings the number of Iowa counties with low disease rates to five: Appanoose, Winnebago, Wapello, Jasper, and Pottawattamie. The program provides a ten cent premium per hundred pounds of hogs sold, reflecting lower tuberculosis prevalence.

Make the Battery Go to Bat by Erwin Greer
Learn to read the hydrometer to test the battery properly. Use a celluloid hydrometer. readings from 1.276 to 1.300 indicate proper charging. If 1.200 appears, reduce starter use or lights. If generator output is insufficient, consult an electrical expert. Keep terminals tight and covered with cup grease, inspect insulation, avoid short circuits, and maintain clean thumb nuts and wires.

How to Check Car Battery Charging While Driving
Ensure the battery charges when the engine runs. At about twenty miles per hour with lights on, the ammeter should read charge. if not, the battery will discharge. Inspect for a short between the ammeter and switch causing non discharge when lights and ignition are off. If the needle bends, test by turning off lights and disconnecting the ammeter wire from the switch. The successful motorist learns by observation and constant tinkering.
