MIMMAU TIRE SERVICE Mount Joy, Pa. 653-1260 Purina Dairy Conditioner Special can prepare cows for good production at low cost Ph: 464-3431 West Willow Thursday, January 20 Market Steers 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. •Rag.

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.
