speeds the milking chores in the
spotless stanchion barn. Among
her other chores, Mrs. Bollinger
cares for the roses that line the
outside wall of the cow barn.
Bollinger grows most of his
own feed, assisted in the field by
Darryl. They harvest some 42
acres of corn silage a year, 18

acres of wheat and about 25 acres
of hay.
A firm believer in genetic
improvement and record
keeping, Bollinger has been on
DHIA test for about 20 years,
shortly after they moved from
Clay Township to their present
farm near Manheim. Records
from the first year on DHIA show
a 12-cow herd average of 13,110
pounds of milk, 481 pounds of fat.
Last year’s average was 15,363
milk and 568 fat.

Most of the replacements for
the Bollinger herd are raised
right on the farm. One of the
home-bred cows, Juliet, was
recently classified excellent with
a score of 91. She’s a daughter out
of a home-bred sire, El-Lyndo
Ivanoe Tim. Now in her seventh
lactation, Juliet has a lifetime
production record of 125,000_
pounds of milk and over 4000 fat.
She is the pride of the Bollinger
herd, and looks every inch a
queen.
Last year Bollinger joined the
state Holstein association’s GEM
program designed to help
dairymen select sires especially
suited to their herds and their
operations. It’s too soon to tell
how much of a benefit he’s going
to get from GEM, but Bollinger
feels convinced it’s a step in the
right direction.
In recent years, the Bollingers
have been taking vacations, a
luxury they denied themselves in
earlier years. Their most recent
trip was to California to view
dairy operations in that state.
Milking chores while they were
gone were handled by Darryl and
his older brother, Donald. Donald
is an earth science teacher at
Royersford.
Bollinger has no intentions of
getting out of dairying, but he
says he and the Mrs. are going to
be taking more vacations. One of
their goals is to travel to all 50
states.
Remove Faded Blooms
Removing those faded blooms
from your perennials prevents
seeds from forming and sowing
themselves in your garden,
remind Extension ornamental
specialists at The Pennsylvania
State University. Since most of
the new desirable varieties are
hybrids, they do not come true
from seed, and new seedlings
may be of an undesirable type.

Shopping For
Ice Cream
Consumers annually spend
over $2 billion on ice cream in the
United States, frequently without
knowing how to judge quality.
Extension consumer
specialists at The Pennsylvania
State University say federal
guidelines consider ice cream a
standardized product which must
comply with standards of identity
or minimum composition stan
dards. To be labeled ice cream,
the product must contain at least
10 percent milkfat and 10 percent
total milk solids, but does not
have to list ingredients.
Since 1963 there has been a
federal labeling law for frozen
desserts that applies to ice cream
flavorings and this in itself can be
a clue to the overall quality of the
product.
For example, a product labeled
vanilla ice cream must be
flavored completely with real,
natural vanilla from pure extract
or beans. If up to 49 percent of the
flavoring is artificial vanillin,
the product is labeled “vanilla
flavored ice cream.” On the other
hand if more than half of the
flavor is artificial, the phrase
“artificially flavored vanilla ice
cream” is used. These rules
apply to all other flavors as well
as vanilla.
Real natural flavors are more
expensive than artificial flavors
forcing manufacturers to reserve
them for use in their higher
quality products for which they
command a higher price.
The Food and Drug Ad
ministration has asked industry
to voluntarily adopt these flavor
declarations on all food products,
such as pudding or cookies.
Reading and understanding
labels in combination with price
comparisons facilitates wise
decisions not only for ice cream,
but other foods as well.

Cultured Buttermilk
Cultured buttermilk is made by
adding lactic acid-producing
bacterial culture to fresh
pasteurized skim or partially
skimmed milk. Extension dairy
specialists at The Pennsylvania
State University point out that
the resulting buttermilk is much
thicker than skim milk with the
same nutritive value. It has an
acid flavor and is a good thirst
quencher. It’s important to keep
buttermilk chilled. If you allow it
to warm, it may separate. To get
it all together again, just stir.
