GROW BIG HEIFERS
FAST WITH
PURINA CALF GROWENA
Purina Calf Growena® is specially-formulated to help
you grow dairy herd replacements fast, breed them
early and freshen them between 22 and 24 months.
Calf Growena helps you feed heifers at low cost from
3 through 6 months, yet gives them the protein and
energy thatfast growth demands. Calf Growena is forti
fied with vitamins and minerals growing calves need.
Purina Calf Growena is part of the Purina calf growing
team to help build sound calf growth fast—and at low
cost. To grow heifers fast, feed Purina Nursing Chow®
or Nu rse-Gro to 4 or 5 weeks and Calf Startena® through
2 months. Then, because growing calves still need a
high level of protein and energy, feed Calf Growena
through six months of age.
Start your heifers growing fast and producing early
with Purina Calf Growena. You can buy it in the 50-lb.

Furniture
Increased emphasis on
pillow groupings which serve
as furniture is puffing up
decorative sales. Most
retailers feel increased
buying of pillows results
from more casual living
among all age groups and
from the growing numbers of
second home owners.
More consumers than ever
before, and especially
younger ones, are turning to
pillow environments because
pricing is about one-third
that of conventional fur
niture. And delivery is
generally withing two weeks.
Look for pillowed furniture
designs when you are
shopping for furniture,
suggests Miss Trudy
Dougherty, Chester County
Extension Home Economist.
You’ll see plastic cubes
which form a basefor pillow
furniture including sofa,
ottoman and lounge-a good
selection for a do-it
yourselfer.
Pillow furniture is also
available in four 36 by 36 inch
pillows, sewn together. Or
two-piece units can be zipped
together to form a couch or
zipped apart again to be
chairs.
Another option gives you a
choice of washable, zip-off
coverings or permanent ones
in a choice of foreign and
domestic fabrics.
One designer, com
missioned to do children’s
pillow furniture, has con
cocted purple elephants and
denim monkeys with snap
off heads.
Current excitement in
adult pillow furniture comes
from African prints, denims
and Haitian cottons. Indian
fabrics are also popular.
