Jonathan and Romo Beau ties made the best baked ap ples of those that had been stored Other' apples had good flavor but tended to be come mushy and lose shape. For applesauce, Jonathan a pies kept their tart flavoi :ad cooked up well.

But Kettering believes that good cows without good feeding and care will not be good producers The Hol steins in his herd are cori tented in a stable light, bright and clean, and with temperature and humidity controlled with a 36 inch ventilation fan located over the maternity pens behind one row of cows. With the fan located in the northwest corner of the barn and most of the windows on the south side of the barn, the temper ature in the stable is pleas ant without being stuffy.
