He called tor patience in
woiking with so-called brood
cows, even though they may
not new be making large am
ounts of milk. He said, “I
hope we do not let go of
brood cows because ot the
diought” There aie many
“tail-endeis who are not hiood
cows” which should be culled
befoie the biood cow.
Seipt called attention to
what he named “The Unwrit
ten Histoiy of the Bleed”
which he said is sometimes
moie important than wntten
pedigiees in impioving the
bleeding stock.
He mentioned such things
as the mheiited tendancy ot
cow families to develop bioken
down uddeis, mastitis, mocked
legs, and so on He said this
‘ unwntten histoiy can be
learned only by rubbing el
bows with othei bieedeis over
a bale of hay at fans, shows,
sales and field days Much of
this histoiy is learned by ac
cident, lie said, but it is au
impoitanl pait of impioving
the bieed.

How Penna. Dairymen are
...Supplementing Short Pasture
r
...Stretching Their Hay Supply
There's a new low-cost way to keep those
cows in milk and in condition right through
the rest of the summer and fall. You do it
by top-feeding Purina Bulky Las . . . just a
gallon or two per feeding . . . along with
with your regular milking ration. Purina
Bulky Las delivers the added nutrition cows
normally get from roughage. Use it to
stretch pasture or hay. It's loaded with min
erals and energy. One ton of Bulky Las sav
es up to 3 tons of average hay. Now with hay
prices what "they are today, Purina Bulky
Las is a real good investment. AND SAY,
for a limited time only, you can buy Purina
Bulky Las at a handsome savings over the
regular price. This makes it an even.BETTER
bargain than ever before. See or phone us
today. Keep your cows producing, even if
pasture is brown and dry. Stretch your hay
supply. You can ,do it with Purina Bulky Las
... in the Checkerboard Bog.
