Proper Milking Technique Guards % Cows’ Health When a milking machine is im properly used or its parts be come worn and inefficient, it is potentially dangerous to the teats and udder of dairy cows, the -American Veterinary Assn, warns. When the percentage of cows with inflamed udders in the herd is high, then both the affected animals and the milking techni que are in need of attention. An important segment of the masti tis control program is overlook ed if attention is not paid to the milking machine. The deßicate internal tissue of the udder can be injured when machines are allowed to remain on udders after all the milk has been removed, or when machines with worn-out pulsators, per forated pulsator hoses, or de teriorated rubber liners are used.

S Department of Agriculture researchers con cluded after conducting a survey .of a selected sample of hbme- I makers in the United States Preliminary findings from a June and July 1956 interview in dicate that during the 12 months preceding the interview almost all users _of broilers or fryers had served them fried; about one user in three served them as fried chickens only. Around 40 per cent of users had baked or roasted this type,of chicken dur ing the year, about 25 per cent had broiled them, and about 17 per cent had barbecued them. These preliminary figures are consistent with the Department of Agriculture estimates that the per capita consumption of broil ers in 1956 reached abput 16 pounds per person Consumption of this form of poultry meat has almost doubled since 1950, while the per capita consumption of all chickens has risen only about 3 pounds (15 per cent) during the corresponding period. Poultiy in other forms is serv ed by fewer housewives. Al though about two-thirds of the homemakers interviewed served turkey during the 12 months pro ceeding the survey, it was served mainly only one to three times during the year. About half the respondents had bought stewing chickens dur ing the year, while slightly Bess than half bought roasting chiqjk en, and only one in 10 bought duck. About 50 per cent had served frozen poultry pies, or frozen poultry dinners in the proceeding 12 months Frozen pies, especially chicken, were used more than either frozen chicken or turkey dinners. These preliminary findings are based on a survey conducted by Agricultural Marketing Service researchers as one of a series of studies providing-information on consumers' attitudes toward and uses of Various farm products, j This ►444444444 ►444444444 PHONE; V-t* >- Jrjfjv *» «■ >444^444444 Lack of a 1947 license will not curtail fishing in any streams. William Voigt, Jr., executive dir ector of the Fish Commission, said that a temporary plan to al low fishing until the new licens es are available to all in the us ual manner has been set up by the Department of Revenue. The steel strike, paper short age and late bidding on the manufacture of the new buttons has caused a shortage in the licenses and they will not be available to Scores of issuing agents throughout the city and county until late next week.

Makes Controlled Grazing Easier WASHINGTON ~ (USDA) Portable electric fences are be ing improved to give better service m controlled grazing of pastures and in other farm uses, the U. S. Department of Agri culture reports. Controlled grazing, as com monly practiced by dairymen, in volves fencing off small areas of pasture to be grazed for short periods usually a day to a week This system, which en courages the animals to graze the forage in a particular area quick ly and uniformly, results in less loss from trampling and con tamination. It also allows the grazed area to recover while the livestock are in another area of the pasture. Electric fences provide a relatively inexpensive means for grazing control. To be en tirely satisfactory, however, they must withstand frequent testing by livestock and be -readily movable. Also, since the fences may be used from early spring to late fall, they must be effective in all kinds of weather. Engineers at USDA’s Agricul tural Research Center, Bells viSle, Md., are ex periments (to determine what im provements can be made in elec tric fences now used. They find that loss of electrical energy under humid 'or wet conditions is frequently a problem. This loss is caused 'mainly by surface leak age across insulators, which may partially short-circuit the fence. Such leakage is due to a surface film of moisture and dirt on the insulators. Conventional porcelain in sulators are not altogether satisfactory for use in wet weather or when the humidity is 75 per cent or more. Under such conditions, insulators of materials such as polyethylene have about one-tenth the sur face leakage of porelain Jnsw lators. Labor for mswing portable fences can be'feduced by the use of portable posts, quick wire-at ,taciung equipment, gate hooks and convenient fence layouts Posts designed to rest on top of the ground are somewhat more expensive than posts to be put into the ground, but they are not dependent upon sod conditions for ability and'ease of moving. Controllers for electric fences should comply with estahSished safety codes and safe limits of total energy. Controllers which do not meet safety requirements are hazardous to both humans and animals.

This unit is designed to elimin ate most hand labor needed to grind and mix livestock rations This automatic unit will grind ear corn without processing smalS grains and concentrates. Swine and poultry rations may be mixed without blending ear - com with the ration. Developed by the Agricultural Experiment Station, the machine is reported in the fall issue of “Science for the Farmer.” The unit is described by Ralph P. Prince, assistant professor of ag ricultural engineering. Uniform speed of both the blending table and the crushed corn metering angeis is another feature'. This protects the ham mer mill from overload while the unit is operating. In addition, a separate feed mixer is eliminated when preparr mg livestock rations*. of the unit is about 1,200 per hour when grinding a -Uve- ****“* stock ration.
