ABS Purchases
4 Top Bulls
American Breeders Service, Inc., of De Forest,
Wisconsin, excited the Holstein world by purchasing at
a Public Auction on December 17, 1966, the four prov
en sires that headed the great Don Augur Holstein
Herd at Northford, Connecticut. This herd was the
highest producing herd in the U. S. for five out of the
last seven years with a current HIR average of 21,933
M 3.7% 821 BF, for 35 records. Don Augur Mother
jnarthas Promis and Don Augur Mothermarthas Pride,
two brothers out of the grand old brood cow in the
herd, sold for $lOB,OOO each to American Breeders Ser
vice. This price set a new record for a Holstein Bull
sold at Auction. American Breeders Service also pur
chased Don Augur True Type Model for $70,000, and
Don Augur Wis Ideal for $30,000. The tremendous sale
average for the more than 70 animals sold was $8,719
. . . more than twice the former record price for a
dispersal on the North American Continent,
Now every ABS customer, and customers of other
breeding organizations who will soon be switching to
the WORLD’S LEADING STUD, will have at their
fingertips the same genetic building blocks that Don
Augur used in building his great herd.

Promis and Pride will be per 8 Ampels for $95.00
with order, True Type Model $90.00 for 8 Ampels and
Don Augur Wis Ideal $60.00 for 8 Ampels.

man said, and he believes it
"is on the way out”.
He has learned that manure
kept as dry as possible, and
distill bed as seldom as possi
ble. will avoid a lot of prob
lems for the poultryman in
subuibia.
Buchman said that in his
new, 19,000-bird house with
flat deck cages, everything is
suspended from the ceiling. He
says he has enough manure
storage space under the cages
that it may be five to seven
years before he’ll have to
clean it out
“Outside of this house, you
positively cannot smell man
ure. and we have no fly prob

stated
NEW LAWS AFFECT
POULTRYMEN
John P Durr, regional sani
taiy engineer with the State
Health Department, _ described
two laws which will affect
poultry men as well as every
one else in the Common
wealth They aie both “good
laws”, he said
Refeinng to the Pennsylvan
ia Clean Streams Law, Duir
said the state had such a law
on the books since 1905, but
that it lacked enabling legisla
tion to prosecute offenders It
was levised in 1935, 1947, and
again last yeai, and he said
the latest revision will make

first time.
The second piece of legisla
tion, the Sewage Facilities Act,
will become effective in July,
1967. This will provide far
more control over where and
how building developments
will be placed.
The combined effects of
these two pieces of legislation
will change the way many of
us make our living, Durr said,
but he implied that everyone
will benefit in the long run
URGES FARMER
INVOLVEMENT
“It seems that in the past
decade, Pennsylvania farmers
have decided to become part
of the total community,” Penn
State public affairs specialist
William M Carroll observed.
As a state, Pennsylvania has
put more effort into planning
and development than any
other place in the nation, Cai
roll said He urged poultry
men to involve themselves in
community affairs at township
and county levels He added
they should keep in close
touch with all public meetings
and officials, to be sme then
interests aie represented
“There’s going to be a lot
moie public interest in the
quality of our envnonment —
all types of pollution will come
under closer regulatory scruti
ny,” he advised the poultry
men
He labeled lefuse disposal
“the biggest problem we face
as human beings not just
for poultrymen v taut industries
as well ”
The infoimational meeting,
sponsored by the Lancaster
County Poultry Association,
was the first of a series of

7, will examine egg marketing
and new products; the third

We have Ful-O-Pep Pig Bracer
With Aureo S. P. 250
When you consider the investment you have in each little pig farrowed,
it’s easy to realize why early losses—largely due to scouring—are so
costly.
New Ful-O-Pep Pig Bracer has Aureo S P. 250, the new antibiotic-sulfa
combination that aids in the treatment of bacterial enteritis in swine
and prevention of the disease during time of stress. This combination
also aids in the reduction of the incidence of cervical abscesses and the
maintenance of weight gains in the presence of atrophic rhinitis.
Where scours are a problem—either in nursing pigs or following the
stresses of vaccination and weaning—Ful-O-Pep Pig Bracer may solve
> our problems.
