Sweet Bulky
Means More Milk!
Let's face it Milk cow rations aren't always
the most appetizing Even though properly
supplemented nutritionally, the ingredients
are concentrated to get profitable milk pro
duction. Boost milk output, pep up appetites,
add variety and tempting tastiness with
Wayne Sweet Bulky. Sweet with molasses,
bulky with beet pulp, it's fed mixed, top-fed
or straight (for cows on high-quality, high
protem legume roughages) Great as a dry
cow or heifer conditioner Does a good low
cost job when hot weather dulls appetites or
pastures dry up.
Feed for the difference innovations make.
Feed Wayne.

Utilization and Development
Laboiatoiy
The leport, published today,
slates many puichaseis said
Dany Fiesh tasted as good as
fiesh whole milk and they could
not tell the diffeiance Most of
the homemakcis gave good
maiks to Daily Fiesh foi taste,
v.nolesomeness and nutritious
value, cost and richness The le
port also notes the product has
a relatnely long shelf life of at
least a yeai, when propeily re
frigerated (40 degrees F)
Sales of Daily Fiesh did not in
any way affect sales of fresh
whole milk, although it sold for
8 cents less 2 cans (total half
gdlon equivalent) for 51 cents
to 59 cents foi a half-gallon of
whole fresh milk
In the test penod, despite
limited advei tising, consumei ac
ceptance was high with neaily
2 000 cans (quait equivalent)
sold duung the first week of the
12-week trial The new product
was used in about 1,000 homes
Pionmtv owners with just a
few fruit trees might be getting
leady to do some pruning on
their trees We are told that late
Winter or early Spring (after
the coldest part of the Wintei is
ovei) is the best time to pume
fiuit tiees In most cases the tree
should be opened up >n o r der to
admit sunlight to all branches,
this will improve the coioi ox
the fruit Also, by thinning out
some of the branches the size of
the fuut on the remaining bran
ches will be largei because of the
bettei water and food supplies
Commeicial frtut producers wrll
be prunrng most of the Winter
months in order to make use of
labor, and to get the work done
before warm weather arrives
