Jones, veteran herdsman, shown holding her. has
directed the fortunes of the purebred dairy kerds at the
Pennsylvania State University Agricultural Experiment
Station for 40 years, and retired only April 1. Milk con
taining a thousand pounds of butterfat provides materials
for making-7,500 quarts of ice cream plus 1,260 pounds
of milk solids for milk powder. No. 3345, milked three
times daily during all of her eight lactations, usually 365
days, is getting ready for another busy year.

There’s money'in milk... for the man who gets
high production per cow. And right now' is the
time when milk prices usually are best for the year.
So why not start feeding for MORE MILK PER
COW. For this job, more dairymen feed, Purina
Milking Chows than any other feed. We don’t say
you’ll get more milk overnight. Feed Purina for
several weeks. Keep a record of the number of cans
you fill a day. We believe you’ll soon agree . . .
PURINA IS THE FEED FOR MILK PROFITS
SPRAY COWS ONLY ONCE A WEEK
with Purina Dairy Spray Concentrate.
Helps keep flies away in the barn and on j
pasture. Costs only pennies per head. /
