Sunny and mild A ■■■■■■■ COOLING YOUR PROFIT SAFEGUARD Protect the quality and fresh flavor of your milk with modern cooling systems engineered, installed and serviced by Agway. SUNSET BULK COOLER The stainless steel evaporator welded directly to the inner liner puts maximum refrigerant flow in direct contact with milk cooling surface for fast cooling action and efficient compressor use. The Sunset is a chore saver too. Simply attach the automatic tank washer to the built-in clean-m-place spray ball and everything from pre-rinse to final sanitizing is handled with the flick of a switch. These enclosed atmospheric models come in capacities from 300 to 3000 gallons. All are constructed of nickel-bearing stainless steel for a lifetime of heavy use. For complete information and estimates on Sunset and Feldmeier installations engineered to fit your milkhouse, call Agway and ask for the Farm Systems Engineer to stop by. See this equipment in operation at the Amos Rutt Farm, RD2, Quarryville. Call Agway Supply Center, Lancaster 717-397-4761 for further in formation.

By the weekend quite warm and humid air covered the Commonwealth with scat tered showers and thun derstorms especially in western and central sec tions.

For the week temperatures averaged 2-4 degrees below in central sections and near normal along eastern and western borders of the state. A FELDMEIER MULTI-TUBE PRE-COOLER Chills milk to 34°F before it hits the bulk tank. So you never chance the rancidity that can develop as warm milk is dumped into a cold tank. And you eliminate the need for continuous agitation, a contributing factor to rancidity and bacteria buildup. You’ll save on electricity too. Agway can engineer a Feldmeier installation to fit any milk house setup, using well water or even pond water for partial cooling. And for even more efficiency there’s a Feldmeier Ice Builder or Chiller to fit your system.
