Ask the Old Farmer: Every
time 1 hear someone say "From
here to Timbuctoo," I wonder
why that place was picked for
the expression Could you tell
me why -that location was
chosen for the saying 7 FK,
Pittsfield, Mass
Probably because to the person who
coined the phrase West Africa
'’SE&ipi
•2, 7
seemed about as far away as one
could go, short of the moon Also,
it's handy because it rhymes with Kalamazoo "From Timbuctoo to
Kalamazoo is a long way down the track
Home Hints: Soapsuds from real soap is good fertilizer for bushes apd

SCANOPREG ”
*sBs°°
The second generation, solid-state, sow-gilt
pregnancy detector that’s as easy to read as STOP
and GO.
SCANOPREG™
ECONOMICS OF PREGNANCY TESTING
TRY THIS EXAMPLE AND INSERT YOUR OWN COSTS, NUMBER OF
SOWS AND FIGURE YOUR OWN SAVINGS: "
Assume you have a herd of 100 sows which you feed 4 to 5 pou.ids of feed
per day costing you approximately 40 cents per sow. After 30 days you
check them and SCANOPROBE® or SCANOPREG™ shows that 10 sows
are open. This would save you 40 cents (cost of feed per day) x 10 (number
of open sows) x 50 (the number of days until you can eyeball) or a total of
$2OO if you cull these sows and send them to market.
SCANOPREG tells you quickly, simply, what you need to know. You can
cull, keep or rebreed to make your herd profitable. Your gestation pens
should be full of only pregnant sows. Why carry the expense of
freeloaders? For every 100 sows you farrow, SCANOPROBE or
SCANOPREG can save you $2OO to $5OO depending on your feed costs
and conception rates.
