Here is just one of nearly 300 test pens of cattle used to develop the
new Special Steer Fatenas at Purina’s Research Farm. Four years of
testing Involved more than 2500; test Cattle.
Each of these new cattle supplements is formulated for a specific
kind of grain and roughage. Even the size of your cattle is consider
ed in selecting the right one for you to feed!
Results? These new Special Steer Fatenas have set all-time Purina
performance records in 4 years of tests. For example, the new
Steer Fatena “Built-to-Fit” corn or milo rations, fed with poor
quality roughages, produced 6.4% faster gains on 10.7% less feed!
These extra results were worth $11.40 more per steer on a $2O cattle
market with 700 lb. yearlings fed 120 days!
The new Steer Fatena “Built-to-Fit” barley rations produced equally
high results at a lower feed cost than ever before!
Whether you bunk-feed or self-feed your cattle, there’s a new
Special Steer Fatena “Built-to-Fit” your own feeding conditions.

The purpose of the Penn
sylvania Study of Agricultural
Occupations is to provide in
formation for occupational
guidance in agriculture, and
for planning new programs in
agricultiual education. The
primary intent of the study
will be to analyze the segment
of the agricultural economy
not now adequately served by
vocational and technical educa
tion, and about which sulh
cient knowledge for piogiam
development is not available
Several of the specific ob

This survey will involve con
tact by the teachers of all ot
the agriculturally-related busi
nesses in the county, these
may urn as high as 500 Then
a 25 pci cent sample of the
total will be taken at landom
and the teacheis will pursue
detailed intei views with these
businessmen to learn how vo
cational and technical tiaming
can be used to better fill the
employment needs of the coun
ty’s agricultural businesses,
and to create more job op
portunities for youth interest
ed in “agri-business” occupa
tions It was estimated that
35-40 hours -time for each
teacher would be needed to
complete the study.
New programs are now pos
sible in agricultural education
because the Pennsylvania State
Legislature and the Umted
States Congress both passed
bills in 1963 authorizing expan
sion of vocational and technical
education.
The teachers plan to work
out further details for the con
ducting of this survey at a
special meeting in January to
which they plan to invite local
businessmen
The vo-ag teachers also held
their annual election of officers
at Thursday’s meeting. They
elected Elvin Hess, Elizabeth

dent; vice-president, Gene

Worth Knowing
You never outgrow your
need for milk Unless milk
in some form is part of your
daily diet, there’s a good
chance you won’t get enough
calcium and perhaps ribo
flavin—two of the nutrients
you need your entire life.
Try adding seasoned butter
sauces, grated or shredded
cheese, lightly browned mush
rooms, sour cream, or cream
sauce to a vegetable dish and
make it the highlight of the
meal When you make vege
tables interesting and attrac
tive, they become more popu
lar with the family.

cereal with brown sugar and
serve with cinnamon-flavored
