Today’s cows are capable of high level production
often as much as 2,000 lbs. more milk per cow per year
than they are producing. PIONEER feeds and feeding
programs can help you get those extra tons of milk
from your cows. Challenge your herd. Feed the
PIONEER way . . . find out how good your herd
really is.
Stop in and see us. WE’LL help you develop an all

Household Pesticides
For safety with household
pesticides, use a pesticide only
when needed and one that is rec
ommended for the pest you want
to control, advises Delbert L.
Bierlein, Penn State Extension
entomologist and pesticides co
ordinator.
Always read the label on the
container before you buy, then
read the label again before using
the pesticide.

Facts Dairymen

cause damage when mixed in
small amounts with fresh gaso
line.
In addition, seasonal changes
iu grades of gasolines spell
trouble if fuel blended for one
season is carried over in storage
tanks until another season. For
example, winter-grade fuel
should not be bought during late
spring. This gas may cause the
engine to skip because of vapor
lock. The condition occurs when
gasoline boils in the fuel lines,
fuel pump or carburetor.
Vapor lock may even cause an
engine - to cut off. When this
happens you will have to wait
for it to cool or pour water on
the lines or fuel pump to speed
the cooling process.
Summer grade fuel may cause
hard starting during cold weath
er. Other considerations are the
color and location of the tank
A dark colored 300-gallon tank
positioned in bright sunlight
during hot weather may lose 10
to 12 per cent of its capacity by
evaporation in about three
months. In a 55-gallon barrel,
summer losses may run as high
as 12 gallons, or 22 per cent of
capacity. By painting the tank
with white or aluminum paint,
evaporation losses may be re
duced by one-third.
Cool Your Cows
Hot weather usually brings a
slump in milk production be
cause a cow is sensitive-to high
temperatures. Production drops
rapidly when the thermometer
goes above 75 degrees.
Probably you can’t prevent
some drop in production, but
use of certain ideas can mini
mize the loss.
If you have a stall barn, open
ing all windows and doors will
help move air through the barn
Circulating fans will assist in
moving air over the bodies of
the cows. The fans should
move the air in the same direc
tion as the natural breeze
Direct contact of air on the
animals is important. You may
not greatly reduce the tempera
ture, but air movement will re
move heat from the cow.
Fans can be used to move air
over the cows and change it in
the barn also. This calls for
large exhaust fan capacity at
one end of the barn and open
windows and doors at the other.
In a stall barn, you are fool
ing yourself if you run a fan
with nearby windows open. r
For more details, ask at our
Extension Office for ventilation
plan 723-387, “Stall Dairy Barn
Ventilation,” or for free stall
barns, ask for 723-385, “Cold
Free Stall Barn Ventilation.”
These are for free distribution
in Pennsylvania.
