Reminds Dairymen
During early spring, when
cows are first turned out on
pasture, mastitis cases develop
In many dairy herds. When
heavy producers He on the
cold wet ground, their udders
may become chilled. This chill
ing may be the stress which
sets off a serious case of
masUis. A good practice is to
turn cows out for just a few
hours at first on warm sunny
days. Never leave cows out
oveinight until the ground has
become warm Udder chilling
is just one of the many
stresses that can trigger at
tacks of mastitis Be on guard
for it during eaily spring, says
Penn State Extension Service.
Be Regular With Milking
Maintaining legulanty is im
portant in piepaung cows for
milking. The noise of milk
buckets rattling, certain odOrs
or activities, and the familiar
sight of the dairyman, affects
the cow only to the extent that
it is maintained at a regular

time, .so she can associate It
with the act of milking. If
every night, at the same time,
the dairyman follows a set pat
tern for doing chores, he is
setting up a conditioned reflex
in his cows. Cows associate cer
tain noises or smells with the
pleasant relief that comes with
thejvithdrawnl of a heavy milk
load. Put the cow in the prop
er mood for letting down milk,
by being regular. Establishing
a definite routine and time for
doing chores leads to more
efficient milk production.
Hoofs Need Spring Trim
During winter’s confinement
period, most dairy cows are
given little oppoitunity to keep
their hoofs worn down. As a
result, their toes become long
and the support of their weight
is shifted back on the heels of
their feet. This puts severe
strain on the pasterns and
hocks which may lead to leg
trouble and hinder the cow’s
ability to pasture. In trimming
hooves, we warn that cutting
off the ends of the toes is not
enough. The sole of the hoof
must be cut or rasped off so
, ISOTOX mixes with water in
the “setting water .tank.”. It
won’t settle in the water
so your plants get uniform
protection around every to
bacco and tomato root and
stem.
So, don’t take a chance. If
you’re transplanting, see us
for ISOTOX Transplanter
. Solution.
more weight is muted to the
front or toe of the hoof. This
is done by removing more
from underneath the toe than
the heel. If this is not done,
very little of the strain on the
pastern and hock is eliminated.
Hoof nippers or a chisel can be
used in shortening toes on top
while a rasp, sharp hoof knife
or electric sender is best suit
ed for removing portions from
the sole of hooves. For badly
shaped hoofs, we recommend
two trimmings a week apart.
If too much is removed at one
time, the lender poition of the
hoof may become injured and
the animal may become tem
porarily lame. A good job of
trimming hooves permits cows
to make use of pasture, and
helps them have a longer,
moic productive life.

In 1965, red meat consump
tion declined an average of
eight pounds per person from
the 1964 record of 175 pounds.
This year red meat consump
tion is expected to drop by
about two pounds per person.
The reason: for the first time
in many yeais, supply has not
kept pace with demand. The
population continues to in
crease at the rate of 1.5 per
cent per year, while total
meat animal production de
creased slightly during 1965-
66, according to the National
Live Stock and Meat Board.
The average American will
eat about 164% pounds of
red meat this year. Per capi
ta work consumption is esti
mated at 57 pounds while it
is predicted 99 pounds of beef
will be eaten, along with 5
pounds of veal and 3 %
pounds of lamb.
