For A Better Crop
Next Summer

Fall liming assures proper limestone distribu

freezing and thawing of winter aid in the
process of limestone dissemination. So, why
wait, correct your soil deficiency now by liming,
and reap a bigger harvest next summer.

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 are 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 fair quality.

Using Purina Check-R-Mix* formulas we
can build you a low-cost dry cow ration;
combining Purina Dairy Conditioned
with your grain. Ojv’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.

Dairy Conditioner Special can help pre
