OUR CRETE CAN’T BE BEAT!
by Kathy Wolfe This week, Tidbits heads to Old MacDonald’s farm to check out some interesting info about the various animals found there. • “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” was first published in 1917. The oldest recording of the popular tune is thought to be 1925, released by The Sam Patterson Trio on the Edison label. It was followed in 1927 with a version by Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers. • It’s believed that the first cows arrived in North America aboard the ships of Christopher Columbus’ second voyage to the Americas in 1493. • The average dairy cow weighs 1,200 lbs. (544 kg) and produces about 8 gallons (30 liters) of milk per day. It can also produce up to 125 lbs. (57 kg) of saliva in one day. Now that’s a lot of www.wyomingroofing.com drool! • Although the common conception is that cows have four stomachs, they really have just one single stomach with four different digestive chambers – the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Because of this, they can digest tough plants that normally would be indigestible. • A cow spends about eight hours a day eating and another eight chewing her cud, which is plain talk for regurgitated, partially digested food. turn the page for more!

Tidbits® of Sheridan and Johnson Counties Tidbits Presents the
HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Fibromyalgia Is Real Disease --DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 56-year-old female. I recently have been having terrible pain in my joints. It is so bad at night that I can’t sleep. Mainly the pain is in my neck, ribs, elbows, knees and wrists. My finger joints have hurt for years. I recently went to a rheumatologist because I had an elevated rheumatoid factor (it wasn’t extremely high). I was told I have arthritis and a high risk for rheumatoid arthritis. I was then diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I was shocked and embarrassed! I had always thought that fibro was not a real disease. I feel bad and tired almost every day, and I am so sick of it! -- S.S. ANSWER: Some of my colleagues still doubt it, but I think that fibromyalgia certainly is a real disease. There is no doubt that there are a large number of people with chronic pain in the muscles and soft tissues who meet the diagnostic tests for fibromyalgia, which are all based on history and exam -- there’s no blood test or X-ray for fibromyalgia, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. The current thinking is that fibromyalgia is due to alterations in the perception of pain by the central nervous system. The most common symptom is aching in the body, usually in the muscles and joints. Although there are specific commonly tender spots that clinicians look for on exam, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia can be made without them. Fatigue and poor-quality sleep also are nearly universal in fibromyalgia. Depression is highly prevalent in people with fibromyalgia, and in my opinion, the depression is more likely caused by the chronic pain and fatigue than the other way around. Before making the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, your rheumatologist had to exclude other possible causes, such as rheumatoid arthritis, restless leg syndrome and thyroid disease. This isn’t always easy or straightforward, and requires experience. My opinion is that it is better to have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia because, even though fibromyalgia isn’t completely understood, it is a starting point for understanding and treating chronic pain. Tricyclic antidepressants are the most common initial treatment of fibromyalgia, because they affect the way pain is processed. They are usually started at far, far below the effective dose for depression. Feeling a sense of control over the pain, continuing to work and exercising more are all associated with a better outcome in fibromyalgia. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: My brother-in-law was prescribed warfarin several years ago after a stroke. He claimed that it was made from rat poison and refused to take it. Is it, in fact, made from rat poison? -- D.K. ANSWER: Yes, warfarin (Coumadin) was used as rat poison. Some rat poisons are still relatives of warfarin. However, that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t take it. The difference between a medicine and a poison is often one of dosing. Warfarin is reasonably safe when used correctly, and it can significantly reduce the risk of a second stroke. There are also some newer options, such as Pradaxa and Xarelto. Your brother should reconsider the risks and benefits. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

E-I-E-I-O (continued): • Chewing about 50 times per minute, a cow will have more than 40,000 jaw movements throughout the day. That cow will drink up to 50 gallons (189 liters) of water every day. • Cows are social animals and actually form friendships with three or four other preferred cows. They can even experience dislike for certain cows. The cow has an amazing sense of smell, able to sniff something up to 6 miles (9.7 km) away. • The first chickens most likely came with Christopher Columbus as well. There are now about 200 different breeds, with approximately 280 million laying chickens in the United States, each one producing about 250 to 300 eggs a year. Those seven billion eggs comprise about 10% of the world’s supply. • A hen begins laying eggs at about 19 weeks of age. The older she gets, the larger the eggs she produces. It takes her about 24 to 26 hours to produce an egg. Thirty minutes after the egg is laid, she begins the process all over again. Most eggs are laid between the hours of 7 and 11 AM. The hen needs about 5 oz. of food and 10 oz. of water to create one egg. Farmers can improve egg production just by regulating the lighting in the henhouse. The hens will lay more eggs if they’re fooled into thinking a day is 28 hours long. we don’t think of Natural & Organic Groceries & Supplements •themAlthough as birds of flight, chickens can actually fly.

E-I-E-I-O (continued): • A farmer can expect a fully grown pig to weigh between 300 and 700 lbs. (140 and 300 kg.) Even at that size, an adult pig can run at speeds of up to 11 mph (17.7 km/hr). A pig can’t see very well, but its sense of smell is highly developed. • Pigs have gotten a bad rap over the years, with folks who eat too much or who are messy referred to as pigs. In actuality, pigs eat slowly and enjoy their food. They are careful not to soil the space where they eat and sleep. If a pig is covered in mud, it’s because it rolled in it to keep cool, and it only does that if water is unavailable. And although people might “sweat like pigs,” pigs don’t even sweat! They are physically unable to do so! • Goats and sheep are some of the first domesticated animals. They arrived in North America in the 1500s on the ships of Spanish explorers and settlers. Different breeds came over with English settlers in the 1600s. There are now about 200 different breeds of goats, some bred for their fiber (angora, mohair, cashmere), some for the meat, and others as dairy goats. • An average dairy goat produces about a gallon (3.8 liters) of milk daily. Although we generally think of cows as our chief source of milk, more people drink milk from goats around the world than from any other animal. Goat’s milk is easier to digest than cow’s milk, because the fat globules are smaller and remain dispersed longer in the milk. • Like the cow, a goat’s stomach also has four chambers. They enjoy all kinds of plant food – shrubs, woody plants, weeds, briars, and aromatic herbs. • Goats are natural-born climbers, and some are able to jump more than 5 feet (15.2 m). They have great flexibility and often stand on their back legs to reach tree branches. They can crawl under fences and occasionally even run along the top. • Domesticated around 5,000 years ago in Africa, donkeys can live 30 to 50 years in captivity. They are well known for their ability to carry heavy loads for long distances. Donkeys have a reputation for being stubborn animals, but their dogged refusal to move occasionally is because they are overloaded or they sense danger. • Donkeys are members of the horse family and are often interbred with horses. The cross between a male donkey (called a jack) and a female horse (mare) produces a mule. Crossing a male horse (stallion) and a female donkey (jenny) results in a hinny, much less common than mules. Mules and hinnies are generally sterile. A donkey can even be interbred with a zebra, with the result known as a zonkey. • A horse’s eyes and teeth take up a lot of space in its head! The male’s 40 teeth take up more space than its brain. The horse also has the biggest eyes of any land mammal, about nine times larger than a human eye. Because of the eye’s location on the side of the head, a horse is able to see nearly 360 degrees at one time. • A horse’s height is measured in “hands,” a measurement of 4” (10.2 cm). In ancient Egypt, this was considered to be the breadth of a man’s hand, the average width across the knuckles. The horse is measured from the ground to the top of the highest point of its skeleton, known as the withers.

MORE FARM FACTS Tidbits continues to stroll around Old MacDonald’s Farm, discovering more facts about the barnyard. • An adult sheep produces between 7 and 10 lbs. (3.2 and 4.5 kg) of wool a year. That’s about enough to make a man’s suit. One pound (.45 kg) of wool can be spun into 20 miles (32 kg) of yarn. The amount of wool that a sheep produces will vary depending upon its breed, genetics, nutrition, and how often it is sheared. Typically, a sheep is sheared just once a year. Wool from one sheep is called a fleece, while the wool from many is referred to as a clip. • Although California, Colorado, and Wyoming are the top producers of wool in the U.S., their combined total still only accounts for less than 1% of the world’s wool production. China is the largest producer. • Sheep and cow intestines have long been used to manufacture the strings of tennis racquets. Sometimes called catgut, it is created by drying the fibers of the intestine’s serous membrane, which contains natural collagen that provides the elasticity needed for the strings. However, nylon is now the most popular material because its cost is much lower, and its elasticity is better because of multi-filament strings. • The turkey is the only poultry native to North America. Because domesticated turkeys have been bred to have large breasts for cooking purposes, they are top-heavy and unable to fly. However, wild turkeys can fly as fast as 55 mph (89 km/hr) and even roost in the treetops at night to avoid predators. Wild birds can also run up to a speed of 25 mph (40 km/hr). The domestic bird will weigh about twice as much as the wild one. (continued on last page)

--DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m so frustrated with my veterinarian. A few days ago, I found my little cavy “Clara,” who’s only a year and a half old, lying on her side, unable to move. She was awake and alert otherwise. I called her vet -- who charges a fee for such consults -- and he said to just let Clara lay there and monitor her. What kind of treatment is that? I’m wondering if I should have just brought her in because all the worried phone calls I’ve made are adding up. -- Caring Cavy Dad in Chicago DEAR CAVY DAD: You did the right thing by contacting Clara’s vet immediately. And while her condition likely is serious, the vet probably felt that moving her to bring her into the clinic might do her more harm. Cavies -- a.k.a. guinea pigs -- can suffer a variety of serious illnesses. These include heart attack, stroke and in rare cases, paralysis with no apparent cause. Each has certain telltale symptoms. The vet probably asked some questions that gave him an idea about what the illness might be, and his recommendation was to keep her resting and comfortable. This is important for cavies. Their nervous system is constantly on high alert -- a built-in defense mechanism -- so excessive or prolonged stress can cause serious and sudden health problems. Sometimes the prescription for healing is just keeping them comfortable, out of direct light and in steady temperatures. The vet also may recommend nutrient supplements. So, hang in there and keep an eye on Clara. With rest she may recover soon. Send your questions about pet care to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
FRY AND SILVER Where would we be without the Post-It-Note? Although it feels like this little convenience has been around forever, the public has only been using Post-It’s since 1980. Follow along and learn about the gentlemen whose research brought us one of the world’s most popular office supplies. • Dr. Spencer Silver was a scientist at the 3M Company, assigned to the duty of developing new adhesives. In the midst of his research, he discovered an adhesive that stuck lightly to surfaces but could easily be peeled off. • Fellow researcher Arthur Fry worked in the product development division at 3M, and in 1974, happened to attend a seminar conducted by Silver. During the presentation, Silver mentioned that six years earlier, he had developed a unique adhesive that would adhere to objects with a temporary bond. Silver had not yet come up with a viable use for the invention. • Fry was a devoted member of his church choir, attending practice every Wednesday evening. He used small scraps of paper to mark the hymns the group would sing for the week’s upcoming service, as well as to make notes about the music. But by the time Sunday rolled around, the bookmarks had moved around on the page or fallen out completely. • Shortly after Silver’s seminar, as Fry fumbled with the small pieces of paper in his hymnal, he was struck with the idea of using Silver’s not-yet-utilized adhesive to make a better bookmark. The next day, he sought out Silver and requested a sample, and began a series of experiments. He smeared one edge of the paper so that the part sticking out of the book wasn’t gummy. • Teaming up with Silver, the pair set to work developing a new product. It took nearly two years to iron out the technical difficulties. Fry experimented by using the sticky note to pen notes to his supervisor and co-workers to demonstrate its usefulness. In Fry’s words, “I thought, what we have here isn’t just a bookmark. It’s a whole new way to communicate.” • The invention hit the test market in 1977 under the name of Press ‘n Peel, with disappointing results. But once dealers started handing out free samples, there was an immediate turnaround. The product hit the national market in 1980 with a new name, and the rest, as they say, is history. • How did Post-It’s become their distinctive yellow color? Coincidentally, when Fry first started his experiments, the lab only had yellow scrap paper on hand. • Today, the little sticky-notes are available in more than 150 countries around the world, with more than 4,000 different Post-It products available. A recent workplace study indicates that the average office worker receives 11 messages on a Post-In note every day. • On the humorous side, the name of Arthur Fry was mentioned in the 1997 movie Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, after the two ditzy, under-achieving title characters claimed to have invented the Post-it-Note in the years since their high school graduation. A brainy classmate quickly corrected them as to the real inventor.

BARNYARD (continued): • Are you familiar with all the terms associated with turkeys? That flap of skin that hangs over a turkey’s beak is known as a snood. Brightly-colored fleshy bumps on a turkey’s head and throat are called caruncles. Both the snood and caruncle turn bright red when the bird becomes frightened or agitated. The wattle, that flap of skin under the turkey’s chin, also changes to bright scarlet on a male in the midst of mating season. Although we frequently hear male turkeys called “toms,” they are also referred to as “gobblers,” because of the distinctive noise they make to announce their presence to females. A baby turkey is known as a poult or a chick, and of course, the female is called a hen. • Speaking of gobbling, in addition to the familiar gobble, a male turkey can make more than 30 different vocal sounds, including purrs, yelps, and keekees, distinctive and unique enough to be recognized by his fellow males. A gobble can be heard a mile away. Female turkeys usually make a clicking noise. • Although there are more than 40 breeds of domesticated ducks, the most common is the white Pekin duck, brought to North America in the 1870s. Pekin chicks are born with bright yellow plumage and an orange bill and feet. A farmer can expect an adult Pekin to lay about 200 eggs per year over their lifespan of about 9 to 12 years.
