you really don’t have to tap
your own sugar maple tree
to serve good maple syrup.
Look for maple syrup that
is a light amber color and
that has a minimum of
cloudiness. These are
of the highest quality maple
syrup. However, some
people prefer darker,
heavier-flavored maple
syrup.
Maple syrup keeps well at
room temperature if it’s in a
sealed container. After the
Both unloaders feature a double-hook
gathering chain with hardened steel cut
ters and claws that rip through frozen
and packed silage. When you push the
button, you know you can count on a
smooth feeding operation.
Evaluate our powered silo wall cutters,
Spring tension holds 4 self-sharpening
steel cutter blades in place to follow the
curve of the silo wall. This keeps silage
from building up along the walls, so you
can be sure that you’re getting all the
feed where it belongs . . in the feeder
and not stuck to the walls.
The claws and cutters of the gathering
chain deliver a steady flow of silage day
after day.

container has been opened,
the syrup may mold. If mold
aevelopes, skim it off, then
heat the syrup to boiling and
cook three minutes.
Store open containers of
maple syrup in the
refrigerator. If you have
bought your maple syrup in
a container that holds more
than you can use in a
reasonable time, you can
store it m smaller con
tainers. Heat the syrup to
simmering (180 degrees)
and pour, while still hot, into
sterilized jars. Seal jars and
store.
The sugary crystals that
may form on the bottom of a
container of maple syrup are
pure sucrose or rock candy
because the syrup was too
thick. You can eat these
crystals but they will be
difficult to dissolve back into
syrup.
MANAGE HEAT FOR
COMFORT IN HOME
“Certain adjustments
must be made m our life
style as Americans learn to
use less energy for home
heating.”
Not all the rooms of the
home must be heated to shirt
sleeve comfort all the tune.
Newer homes have zone
heating and even timers can
be put on thermostats to
permit warmth for comfort
when it is wanted. For in
stance, cold bedrooms are
supposed to be healthier, but
cold bedroom floors tend to
retard early morning en
thusiasm. A tuner on the
thermostat can give a burst
of heat which peaks at wake
up time. Also, some people
might enjoy a little heat in
the bedroom at bedtime.
Otherwise, bedrooms can be
set at a low temperature to
save fuel.

50%
predicted gone by 1990
PHOENIX, Am. - The
next ten years will see some
significant shifts in regional
egg production...a good
chance that 50 percent of the
egg producers will not be
producing eggs by 1990;
flocks will continue to get
bigger and bigger.
Those were some of the
predictions suggested by
Milton Dunk, recently
retired editor of the Poultry
Tribune, who addressed the
annual poultry conference
during the 51st annual
surplus heat from cooking or
baking, making them warm
places for family gatherings
on cold evenmgs. This is the
way kitchens were used in
the past and the family that
has a large kitchen can
consider itself fortunate.
One source of heat waste is
bathtubs and sinks. Why
empty the warm water out
before it cools and releases
heat to the surrounding
area? Another benefit of
leaving the warm water in
the tub is humidity. Homes
in the winter become very
dry, and this can save
running a humidifier.
One room in each house
must be warm for people. On
winter evenings this may be
where the television is.
Perhaps the heating system
here may also be augmented
by a woodbummg stove or
fireplace. There is more to
gathering people together in
one place than just
psychological warmth; body
heat is a factor, too.

meeting of the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
“Within the next five
years, 60 companies will own
at least 65 percent of the
layers m the U.S.”, says
Dunk.
Poultry Tribune’s latest
big flock update shows that
45 companies now have a
total of 92,726,600 layers
representing 35.5 percent of
the commercial egg-type
layers in the Umted States.
Dunk said people who are
successful in the egg
business 10 years from now
are the ones who are plan
ning now for the future.
Other projections for the
future, Dunk suggests, will
be a significant increase in
the use of further processed
egg products with the spent
hen looked on as a “system.”
He predicts sometime m
the 80’s, 95 to 98 percent of
the nation’s layers, will be in
cages or on wire; in 5 years,
50 percent of the nation’s
eggs will be eaten away from
home; and by 1989, egg
consumption will be 312 eggs
per person per year.

Bureau audience they could
expect fewer poultry
organizations in the 1980 s.
He said the biggest fallout
will be in state organizations
and that economics will be
the guidelines as to what
organizations will survive.
He projected further that
eventually there will be
“one” feathered world
organization - not in the 80s -
- but sometime in the future.
“I predict we will see the
time when egg marketing
will be on a worldwide basis
and the egg market price
will be international by the
way of an instant satellite
market reporting service,”
he said.
Dunk says egg marketing
will become more
sophisticated and com
puterized on the egg farm or
ranch and will eliminate
some of the poultry ser
viceman's duties.
“People who plan to be in
the egg business 10 years
from now should develop
tenacity for the planting job.
This will make things
happen that otherwise would
not happen,” he stated.
