Check Dairy Heifers
for Parasite Control
Daify heifers which have spent
the winter months in “com
munity-type” pens are often
infested with internal parasites,
says Harvey E. Shaffer, Ex
tension dairy specialist at The
Pennsylvania State University.
This kind of housing provides
ideal conditions for these
parasites to multiply. As a result,
heifers with only light in
festations last fall may now carry
sufficient numbers of parasites to
seriously affect their growth,
reminds Shaffer.
If heifers are heavily infested,
they cannot maintain normal
growth rates regardless of the
amount of feed they are given.
The problem becomes more
serious if the pasture feeding
program is less than adequate.
Before heifers are turned out to
pasture, each group should be
checked for internal parasites.
The procedure is simple and
inexpensive. A small, composite
sample of droppings from each
pen of heifers should be taken to a
veterinarian for examination.
The number of parasite eggs
observed in the droppings will
indicate the amount of in
festation. Treatment, if needed,
before heifers are turned out to
pasture will help to insure normal
growth during the summer, adds
Shaffer.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is available in
both small and large curd form
Extension dairy specialists at
Pennsylvania State University
say small curd, often called
country or old-fashioned style,
retains its shape for serving plain
with salad greens or fruits. Large
curd with its large, soft curds
mixes easily with other foods and
is preferred for cooking.

The Role of Detergents
Besides removing the dirt from remove soil from fabrics. Once
clothes, detergents also have the dirt is removed, detergents
other functions, says Extension hold the soil in the, washing
clothing specialist Ruth Ann solution and prevent it from
Wilson, Penn State University, redepositing on the fabric before
Detergents also act as water it can be rinsed away,
softeners in order to loosen and Detergent manufacturers base
their package instructions on
what will give the best cleaning
and total product performance
under conditions most
homemakers encounter. Con
ditions vary from home to home
and even between wash loads.
Mrs. Wilson reminds
homemakers that water hard
ness, which affects a detergent’s
performance, varies from region
to region throughout the country.
Your local water company,
public utility consumer service
department or Extension home
economist can provide you with
the information you need before
adjusting the amount of
detergent to compensate for
water hardness.
The size of the load and design
of the washer have a bearing on
the amount of detergent to use.
Generally, front loading
automatics have a smaller range
water fill and would require less
detergent than top loaders. In
addition, many washers have
settings to permit you to vary the
water level according to load si
ze. To insure adequate cleaning,
the amount of detergent should
be adapted to each situation.
Naturally heavily soiled
clothes require more detergent
than lightly soiled garments.
Also, you must consider adding
extra detergent if the water
temperature and washing action
has been reduced for delicate
items.
