We’re big where it counts. So you
can be too.
Big in capability. Dari-Kool
Bou-Matic milking systems are built
to match the total milking needs of
the big-herd dairyman. Fast milking.
Easy on udders. Rugged construc
tion. And dependable. Isn’t that
what you need too? No matter how
many cows you milk?
Big on udder health. Bou-Matic
systems help keep cows in the
milking line with a truly balanced
system: proper vacuum, inflations
and pulsation. Reduces udder irri
tation; increases milk production.
Big on result-oriented features. Like
electronically-timed twin-pulsation.
Equalizes milking, prevents over
milking of front quarters.
Big on parlor choice and size. From
herringbone, to the Bou-Matic
Carousel and Automated Polygon.
With low-level pipelines. There’s a
system set-up for where you are.
And where you want to be in
total milk production.
Big on service too. That’s the
professional specialty of your
Bou-Matic dealer. He knows how
to help you make more profit from
your dairy operation. No matter
how big you are. Or how big you
think. Just ask him.

SHENK'S FARM SERVICE
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 17,1974—31
Packaged Meats to
Have Precise Codes
American consumers will
soon be finding more precise
“open dating” information
on packaged meat and
poultry to better assist them
in determining the freshness
of these products on food
market shelves.
Mrs. Nancy H. Steorts,
special assistant to the
secretary of agriculture for
consumer affairs, an
nounced today that in a move
designed to jeliminate the
present confusion over
product dating, meat and
poultry processors who
voluntarily elect to put a
calendar date-rather than a
coded date-on their
products, must let con
sumers know what that date
means.
Under the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture’s
(USDA) newly amended
federal meat and poultry
regulations, the calendar
date will have to be iden
tified as a “packing date,”
“sell by date,” or “use
before date.” These dates
may be qualified by such
terms as “for maximum
freshness,” or similar terms.
Some processors are
already using open dating in
response to consumer

demand, but there has been
some confusion as to the
specific meaning of such
dates. Today’s action should
resolve that problem.
“The new regulations will
provide consumers with
significantly more in
formation on the freshness of
meat and poultry products,”
Mrs. Steorts sa*d.
“However, the public is
reminded that the ultimate
quality and safety of such
products also depends on
how carefully they are
handled between the
processing plant and the
consumer’s dinner table.”
USDA’s Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) proposed the “open
dating” amendment March
21,1973 (press release USDA
889-73). An overwhelming
majority of the more than
400 comments received
strongly supported the
amendment.
The new regulations will
become effective 30 days
after publication in the
Federal Register.
Publication will be Aug. 8.
