HALES 0 HUNTER CO. Franklin & High St. FEED LETTER Pioneer - Nutrena For many years, the Hales & Hunter Co. sold feed under the brand names of Pioneer and Red Comb. Many farmers felt quite com fortable with those names. I'm sure that many of our friends will be saddened to learn that these names will now be replaced by another. In 1969 the company was bought by Cargill Inc., who also sells feed under the brand name of Nutrena. For awhile after we became part of the family it was best to keep the old Pioneer and Red Comb names. Now however, using two names to sell the same feed is becoming, not only bothersome, but costly. All literature tags, bags, and supplies bearing a trade name, had to be made twice, once for each name. It was added expense that didn't add to the value of the feed. Now, we'll both have the same name. Since Nutrena had more mills, and was known over a larger area, that's the name we'll all use. You may wonder about the feeds themselves. Well, we've been selling the same feeds tor the past four years, so there is nothing to change there. Some of the feeds now sold under either name were only developed after the merger, and became available to both groups at the same time. Feeds like the blender feeds for high moisture programs, the hog mixer program. Vitality Horse feed, and the pig pre-starter which has been improved twice since 1969.

But did you realize that there are this many? Whole Fresh Fluid Milk Whole milk is defined in many states as milk that con tains not less than 3.25 per cent milk fat and not less than 8.25 percent milk solids non-fat. Most of the whole fluid milk sold in the United States is pasteurized and homogenized. Raw Milk—Milk that receives no heat treatment is called raw milk. Certified Milk —Since 1893, certification on the container has meant that conditions under which the milk was produced and distributed conform with the high standards for cleanliness established by the American Association of Medical Milk Commissions. This milk may be raw or pasteurized. It may be ho mogenized and vitamin D fortified. Fortified Milks These con tain added amounts of one or more of the essential nu trients usually found in milk. Concentrated Milks Fresh, frozen, evaporated, con densed, and dried milks are in this category. Water from the milk is removed under carefully controlled condi tions of heat and vacuum. The milk is reconstituted by restoring the water. Sldm Milk Fat is removed from whole milk by centrif ugation to produce skim milk. The resulting fat content is usually 0.1 percent, although it may vary slightly. States set their own standards, which vary from 8.0 to 9.25 percent as the minimum for total solids in skim milk. The product is pasteurized. Two Percent Milk—This milk is named for the fact that it contains 2 percent milk fat. It is pasteurized and homog- ST DALE Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 2,1973 — emzed, and made from both fresh whole and skim milk. It may be enriched by add ing milk solids-non-fat and various vitamin and mineral preparations. Cultured Milks - Prepared from pasteurized or sterilized milk, cultured milks include a variety of products, the best known of which is but termilk. Certain desirable bacterial cultures have been added. These grow under controlled conditions of san itation, inoculation and tem perature to yield the desired cultured milk. Flavored Milk and Milk Drinks Whole milk plus syrup or powder containing a wholesome flavoring agent and sugar is a flavored milk. In contrast, a flavored milk drink is skim or partially skimmed milk similarly fla vored and sweetened. Fla vored milk and milk drinks are pasteurized and usually homogenized. Even though people of drinking age in the United States consumed 21.95 gal lons of beer, 1.9 gallons of distilled spirits and 1.3 gal lons of wine per capita last year, milk still continues to be the major beverage con sumed by Americans Based on per capita sales of fresh fluid milk, Ameri cans of all ages averaged nearly 26 gallons per capita last year.

Quarryville Three-Fourths of Households Have Whole Milk On Hand In a recent survey on the use of dairy products, three fourths of the households had whole milk on hand, while less than one-fifth had skim or lowfat milk. About 98 percent of U.S. households have used regular whole milk and almost 40 percent have purchased lowfat fluid milk. Whole milk was purchased by more than 60 percent of the homemakers for its con tribution to good health. The food value and nutrients in milk such as protein and cal cium were mentioned most often. About 80 percent of the homemakers purchasing lowfat fluid milk did so for health or dietary reasons, mainly weight control. About 90 percent had con sumed cottage cheese, but only 37 percent had some on hand Almost all had pur chased ice cream and over 50 percent had some in the freezer.
