Dried Honey New Process Retains Flavor Dried honey, a new pro duct resulting from a drying process devised by U S De partment of Agriculture re search engineers, gives bak ers and candy makers an op portunity to use this whole- some sweetener to a greater extent than ever before, When reconstituted with water, diied honey has sub stantially the flavor of fresh liquid honey, and its free flowing granular form pro- Andes new convenience and economy in handling _ This product is expected to increase the use of honey, especially in baking The stickiness of liquid honey and its tendency to crystall i2e have so far limited its use by bakers Dried honey may also be used in packaged baking in ixcs, for extra sales appeal and to give homemakers a convenient means of using honey in baking Honey adds to the flavor, color, texture, aroma, and keeping quality of baked goods The process used to dry honey is essentially the same as that for preparing full flavor juice powders, de veloped a feiv years ago by the Eastern Utilization Re search and Development Di vision of USDA’s Agricultur al Research Service, at Phil adelphia, Pa. It consists of vacuum-dehy drating liquid honey rapidly, in a mechanically agitated thm-film evaporator, to yield a molten mass nearly free of Avater This molten material is then fed between two chil led metal rol'ers which squeeze it into a thin sheet while cooling it to room tem peiaturc The sheet is taken from the chilling rolls in the form of brittle flakes, which arc 1 KILL RATs” \ I Use | g RAX KAKSSS J NOW THE BEST WOOD HEATERS ARE BETTER THAN EVfgi * l & sf i: mm&} ; = 15 MODE'S !

COLLEGE STUDY SHOWS VENT-O-MATIC Is "Most Efficient"! There's a BIG DIFFERENCE in ventilating equip ment Studies at CORNELL show that one 36-inch “Vent-O- Matic de’ivering 10,000 cu ft of air per minute (air for 2500 average birds) costs $47 30 per year for pow er, compared with $7B 15 for the next most efficient system Others cost from $147 58 up to $260 16 for power on the same size job COULD YOU USE 8 1/2 CENTS PER BIRD EXTRA A YEAR? Total operating costs (including depreciation) put Vent- O-Matic ahead by a wide margin Prof. C N Turner of Corne'l says “In a large house (8500 birds) the dif ference in opeiatmg cost could be as much as $7OO a year . .

McComsey Farmersvlll© & Sons Equipment Co. Hickory Hill, Pa. Ephrala H. D. 2 The experimental machine, which has not yet been made completely automatic, was developed during tests of various methods and devices for mechanical handling of silage in horizontal or trench type silos. In initial tests in which a blower and pipe were used for* conveying, the machine unloaded oat-pea silage at the rate of 40 pounds a min ute, and com silage at the rate of 125 pounds a minute when the blower-pipe con veyor was replaced .by end less chain and crossbar-type conveyor. Basically, the* unloader comprises a 12-foot hydraulic lift and auger assembly mounted on a rubber-tired undercarriage The auger is 9 inches in diameter and is driven by a motor fitted with a speed reducing unit The hydraulic-lift system operates the auger and a conveyor.

In test operations the machine required 50 minutes to remove 6,400 lbs. of silage—enough to feed 80 head of cattle 80 pounds ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■* ■ CLOSE PLANTING CORN FOR HIGH YIELDS Our Penna 820 and our Rll5 growers porting high yields with these varieties. • These varieties stand a high population ana shou.d be planted 18,000 to 20,000 plants per acre. • They withstand drought (Can get along in dry weather bettor than other corns) • Stand up well when others go down (You cannol afford to glean corn) Not necessary with these vario ties • Less moisture at husking time. • Uni p orm height ears that stay on stalk until pick er gets them. 1 Save $2 00 a bushel on your seed this year get the best crop.
