Green onions and radishes
are plentiful and quality is
very good.
Nearby areas are provid
ing us with some more “first
Of the season” vegetables
such as cauliflower, beets,
strawberries and green peas
in very light quantities from
Virginia.
Strawberries are probab
ly the best buys in fruit.
Supplies are being received
from many areas and prices
like supplies for- the most
part are dependent on wea
ther conditions.
Florida is still providing
the markets with'good buys
in oranges and grapefruit.
There are also many good
buys to be found in pineap

Cattle really clean up grass silage treated
with STA-FRESH ... make big gains in
milk and beef. Cattle just naturally pre
fer it. In free-feeding tests, they eat up
to four times more treated than un
trer ted silage. Here’s why:
STA-FRESH treated silage smells
sweet— and is far richer in carotene (Vi
tamin A), sugar, digestible dry matter,
and total digestible nutrients (TDN).
STA-FRESH is economical, too. Just
one 80-lb. bag treats 10 tons of silage. It’s
this to the rigid sanitation
program they have put in
to effect.
Pans of disinfectant sit in
the doorway to the farrow
ing house and a sign asks
the visitor not to enter
without stepping into the
pans.
Small pigs come into con
tact with very little filth
during the early days of
life. After being scrubbed
with soap and water, the sow
is put in the farrowing crate
three days before farrowing.
Except for about two
hours each day when she
will be let out to eat, drink

FARROWING CRATES HELP the sows at Willow
Glen Farm raise a large percentage of the pigs farrowed.
The pigs are protected from the sow when she lays down
and gas-fired pig blankets keep them from chilling. Thrifty
pigs like these will start well and grow well after weaning.

remain in the farrowing

weaned at about eight weeks
of age.
After the first day or so
the sow very seldom makes
any manure in the farrow

until she is outside in the
feed lot. This assures the
young pigs of cleaner, drier
surroundings.
During the first three days
