Funy has found that if the
quality of the giam is light
you can cut down on the
amount fed and replace it with

the milking herd
To diy up an especially high

the lactation, Fiey giadually
stops milking hei. He puts the
cow in a separate box stall
and feeds poor hay or straw.

Prime contributor to the
good health of our area’s economy
In the Centra! New York counties served by this newspaper, dairy farming repre
sents probably the largest single industry, with annual income of some $145
million. As such, the hard-working people in this business make a substantial
contribution to the well-being of this area’s economy.
Looking after the interests of these dairy farmers almost 9,000 of them is the
chief concern of EASTERN MILK PRODUCERS COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION. A
bargaining organization operated solely by and for milk producers, EASTERN has
an enviable record of action and accomplishment in behalf of its dairy farmer
members. These EASTERN members can count on;
* Guaranteed markets for their milk at maximum prices.
♦ Experienced management, plus expert legal and field staf.s.
* Lowest membership dues, plus group-rate hospital and lost-time insurance; also
quarantine income-loss protection.
* Effective representation, and extensive information proem-' 1
* Field lab checks of butterfat tests, plus mobile bulk-fen v Vibration unit for
weight-check protection.
... and many other benefits that only a financially sound, debl-fiee, producer bar
gaining co-op can offer. From individual farm problems lc „i.lcuion at highest
levels, today’s dairy farmer looks to EASTERN. For inton to John C.
York at Eastern headquarters.

Mastitis is controlled by
milking the quarter three to
six times a day depending on
the seventy of the case. Medi

“If the fust calf heifer
doesn’t milk at least 50 lb of
milk per day she better have
a good leasoti,” says Frey He
