As an outstanding 4-Her Rick also Went to the Consumers' Corner Use Care When Canning Constant vigilance might well be the watchword for homemak ers as they handle, process, pre pare and eat food. Although certain forms of mold, yeast and bacteria can be important in some areas of food production, other forms can be quite harmful and even fatal. With canning season upon us, it is important to be alert to the dangers of one of the worst Eastern Uni ister Go. Melvin Herr RR2 New Holland, Pa 4 17557 Ph 717-354-5977 Worth Western Earl B.

"Agri-King first sampled my roughage on November 15,1973. At that time the herd was averaging 36 pounds of milk per cow per day. Sometime in December we began feeding the Agri-King products. By February they dropped in production by 1 pound of milk per cow per day. We were not happy at all and called the Agri-King serviceman to tell him we were quitting because the results were unfavorable, and it was costing way too much money. The serviceman asked if he could come down and find the problem. We agreed but told him that it wouldn’t do any good. He came and went over the complete ration. I didn't realize that the small changes in feeding made such a big difference. We heard him out and things made common sense. He convinced us to try it for 3 more months following the Agri-King feeding, program accurately." "So we started all over again, retesting and balancing the complete ration - the hay, silage and grain. After following this balanced program for 3 months, the cows started to freshen easier, milk better, and breed better. By the beginning of Summer the cows were up 10 pounds of milk per cow per day and by the middle of Sept, the herd was up 20 pounds of milk per cow per day from when we started. This is the highest they’ve ever been.” "I had never really wanted to get over 45-50 pounds of milk per cow per day for fear of tearing up the cows, but now they've been averaging over 50 pounds for more than 3 months and the herd health is still in excellent condition.” ih Co An J.

Holstein Association. Unless the disease, which is sometimes mistaken for tetanus, is diagnosed correctly within a few hours, it is fatal Fortunately, this disease can be prevented The organism that causes it grows in a non-acid or low-acid medium and in the ab sence of air. . A jar or can of low-acid food that has not been properly pioc cessed is a fertile place for bac terial growth The organism can survive a temperature of 212 de grees for 8 to 10 hours But it can easily be destroyed at a tem perature of 240 degrees and 10 pounds pressure in a matter of minutes, depending on the food For this reason, it is import ant to use a pressui e canner that has been tested and is working properly, when canning low-acid foods These foods include meats and all vegetables, except tomatoes The persistent reporter de manded an explanation and the truth; ‘‘Make up your mind—you can’t have both,” pronounced the politician. —Your Neighbor — SERENE VALLEY FARM 1906 Bridge Road Lancaster, Pa.
