If you’re not among the many good local
dairymen who have started mixing
Purina Dairy Conditioner Special with
your own grain to build a research
proved dry cow ration, it can pay you to
check into this low-cost way of feeding
dry cows.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is a 16 percent
protein ration, fortified with extra Vita
mins A and D plus phosphorus to help
guard against milk fever.
To help you save on dry cow feeding,
Purina Research recommends varying
feeding levels, depending on cow condi
tion and the quality of your roughages
For example, if a cow is in good condi
tion and your roughages axe of excellent
quality, you would feed less Purina dry
cow ration than if the cow were in only
fair condition and if the roughages were
of only fan quality.

Using Purina Check-R-Mix* formulas we
can build you a low-cost dry cow ration,
combining Purina Dairy Conditioner
with your grain. Or, if you’re feeding
low-protein roughages, it may pay you
to feed Dairy Conditioner “straight”
just as it comes from the bag.
More and more successful area dairymen
are proving that good dry cow feeding
pays off in extra cow condition and
extra milk production in the next lacta
tion For example, 100 to 200 pounds of
additional body weight at freshening can
pay off in 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of extra
milk during the lactation.
Drop in soon and get your free copy of
the Purina Dry Cow Program folder.
We’ll be glad to point out how Purina
Dairy Conditioner Special can help pre
pare your dry cows for good production
at low cost.

will recognize this fact and re*
move the milking machine in
time to prevent teat damage re
sulting in mastitis.
653
Hard milkers are less suscept
ible to mastitis. But no dairyman
can afford to keep slow milkers
in the barn just to prevent
mastitis.
It’s more profitable to keep
fast milkeis and remove the
milking machines as soon as they
are milked To prevent udder in
fection, dipping teats with a dis
infectant solution may be of
value on fast milkers
Calf Raising Study
South Dakota has published
the results of a study on rearing
calves indoors versus outdoors
at weaning ages of 3, 5 and 7
weeks Temperatuies indoors
were controlled to a minimum of
50°F Outdoor temperatuies var
ied from a low of about -10°F.
to a high of 95 °F Calves were
housed in individual pens in an
insulated barn or in individual
outdoor hutches during the first
14 weeks and all the calves were
outside fiom 14 weeks to 26
weeks of age
Conclusions (1) Average daily
gains were not significantly dif
ferent among weaning ages or
between housing systems (2)
Calves weaned at 3 weeks ate
significantly more starter. (3)
Hay consumption was not af
fected (4) Housing system has
no effect on scours or pneu
monia. (5) Less bedding and less
labor were used in outdoor
hutches. (6) Calves weaned at 3
weeks of age can be reared m an
outdoor housing system and have
growth rates comparable to later
weaned calves housed indoors in
heated barns
Replacements
According to recent studies
dairymen need to raise 75 per
cent of their heifer calf crop for
replacements Even this percent
age does not allow for culling of
heifers before they freshen
The price of purchasing herd
replacements has increased and,
with the reduction in the total
number of cows in the 17 S.
(from 23 million down to 15 mil
lion) tne sources of replacements
become fewer
A well-bred heifer ready to
freshen is worth money either as
a herd replacement or to sell
Central Testing Laboratory
By action of the State Board,
local DHIA associations that are
not sending milk samples to the
Central laboiatoiy for testing by
Apul 1, 1971, will be assessed at
the monthly rate of four cents
per cow on test to help defray
the amortization costs of build
ing and equipment After July 1,
1971, the monthly assessment
will be eight cents per cow on
