It’s something you plan for by establishing a herd with the genetic potential for good production, then managing and feeding your cows so they’ll produce up to their bred-in ability. Many successful local dairymen also plan for good pro duction with a proven program of dry cow feeding. They need Purina Dairy Conditioner, a research proven ration to help give dry cows body condition they need for good production after they freshen. Purina Dairy Conditioner is an extra-palatable 12% percent protein ration. It’s fortified with vitamins A and D plus extra phosphorus to help guard against milk fever. Purina Dairy Conditioner is low-cost, too, because the amounts you feed depend on your cows’ condition and on the quality of the roughages you feed. For example, a cow dried off in good condition being fed high-quality roughages would require less Dairy Conditioner than a cow in only fair condition being fed fair quality roughages.

This year you will have many forms of turkey from which to choose. The most popular form again this year will be the ever traditional whole turdey, roasted for hours to a golden-brown and served with all the fixings. You can buy whole turkey either fresh or frozen. You usually pay a premium for a fresh turkey. But, in most cases, a frozen turkey is fresher than an unfrozen one because it’s preserved in its fresh stale shortly after slaughter. But you can hold the fresh turkey up to one week after slaughter. A new twist to the whole turkey has appeared in the past few years. You can buy your Thanksgiving turkey frozen with a seasoned stuffing already in the body cavity. Tne stuffing is prepared under sanitary con ditions and is ideal for those who don’t have a favorite recipe. You roast a prestuffed turkey in its frozen state with little advance preparation. Another exciting concept is the self-and deep-basting turkey An oil-type product, such as corn oil, margarine or butter, is added to the turkey meat to add suc celence and greater flavor. In the self-and deep-basting process, the mixture bastes with the meat and skin surface, leaving you free to enjoy your guests while the turkey bastes itself to a golden brown. If you prefer just breast or dark meat, or want additional meat to go along with the whole bird, turkeys are sold in parts m the frozen meat case. Because of the added labor costs and meat content, turkey parts cost a little more than whole turkeys. There are a variety of turkey products available that involve little or no waste-ideal for a small family. The boned and tied turkey consists of light and dark meat sunounded by a natural skin cover. The advantages of this type of turkey are a shorter cooking time and no bones or trimmable waste. Because of the labor involved in separating the meat from the bone and the processing necessary to put the product into final form, boned and tied turkeys also cost more than whole turkeys. Another no-bones-or-waste product is the turkey pan roast. The meat portion consists of a light and dark meat portion which has been mixed with binding materials and formed in an aluminum pan with a natural skin covering placed on top. The pan roast may also include the cost per pound to decide the best buy in pan roasts. Still another type of boneless turkey meat product is processed in a pear-shaped ham-type can. This turkey can be roasted with little advance preparation. (Continued on Page 29)
