That was the all-important
question last fall. Few were
able to dry all their crop or to
store it in air-sealed silos. The
capacity just wasn’t there.
Yet many found a third
alternative—ChemStor.
High-moisture grain treated
with ChemStor can be stored
almost any place, provided it
is protected from additional
moisture. It stays fresh and
palatable.
Farmers who applied Chem-
Stor last fall report excellent
results. In fact, they say it
actually enhances palatabil
ity. The silage-like aroma at
tracts the animals, keeping
them on feed during ration
changes. And since it contains
the same organic acids that
occur naturally in the rumen,
it cannot diminish or alter
Milk Is A Good
Source Of Calcium
When cutting down on your
food intake to reduce body
weight, milk is one food you
should not eliminate from your
diet, says Joe S Taylor, Ex
tension specialist at The Penn
sylvania State University. The
foods that contribute fat andjittle
else should be eliminated first,
such as. table fats, foods fired in
fat, pastenes and other rich
desserts
Meat and poultry contain
protein and iron, milk contains
protein, Vitamin A, calcium and
riboflavin, all essential to good
health. We need the nutrients in
these foods to stay healthy, says
Taylor.
Older people should increase,
not decrease, their milk con
sumption. Recent research has
indicated that persons with
symptoms of osteoporosis
(deterioration of the body’s bone
structure) were more likely to
have had a long-term diet low in
calcium. Milk is one of our best
sources of calcium and in the
correct form for body
assimilation, says Taylor.
Excess weight is not good for
your health. This has been proven
with numerous research
projects. However, the essential
foods you eat while reducing body
weight are important, says
Taylor.

Rotary Parlor Plus Automatic Milkers
Equal the Newest In Dairy Methods
Forget the image of the
dairy farmer in the dell—his
operation is a modern mar
vel that would do credit to
2001'
Take the case of Don Mor
elh of Stanislaus County,
California, as reported in the
September, ’72 issue of Farm
Journal. He has combined
two modem dairy methods
into one highly promising
operation.
He began with the revolv
ing milk parlor idea This is
a revolving platform that can
milk 160 cows an hour. To
this he has added milking
units that detach when the
milk stops, making the op
eration highly automatic.
Before completing his
plans for the tandem rotary,
Morelli studied milking par
lors in England and Ireland
His operation differs in that
it is made from heavier ma
terials, better suited to the
larger American cow.
Urbanization led to Mor
elli’s innovation when he was
forced to sell his first 180-
cow dairy in Marin County.
It has been a dramatic ex
pansion for him as he plans
to enlarge his herd to 450
cows.

While Morelh’s 16-cow ro
tary is capable of milking
160 cows an Jiour, only 135
were being milked at the
time of the report. One man
attached the Quarter-Take-
Off units while a second man
watched the units, pulled de
tached units from under the
cows and dipped teats A
third man changed milking
strings and kept cows mov
ing into three prep stalls
outside.
Cows not milked out at
the end of the first round
take the trip twice.
A 7 5 horsepower hydrau
lic pump runs four hydraulic
motors turning rubber tires
which move the rotary plat
form.
The cows adjust them
selves to the timing of get
ting on and off the turn
table. Should a cow get
caught in a gate while enter
ing or leaving the rotary, she
automatically activates a
safety mechanism similar to
that in modern elevator
doors. A switch reverses the
rotary 8 to 12 inches and
then stops it. No cow has
ever been injured in Morelh’s
parlor.
Free-stall barns house
Morelli’s cows. The bams are
flushed automatically eight
times a day.
No feeding is done in the
milking parlor. Morelli de
cided it made the parlor too
difficult to keep clean and
the cows harder to milk.
Feedmg is done after milking.
