More than one way to lead calf

Rope and halter aren't needed to lead this calf. This youthful Holstein will
follow that tasty hand most anywhere so long as it can nibble away on the
fingers.
Proper seed storage halts deterioration
“I bought
MEDIA
packets of vegetable seeds
for my garden last year, but
I didn’t plant all of them. Are
they still good to plant this
year?”
The answer to his common
question is a qualified yes. It
depends if the seed you
purchased last year was
relatively new, and if you
stored it in a relatively dry
place during the interim
period. Seed stored under
warm, moist conditions will

it is safer to buy new packets

purchase. These include

“Selectively” Provides More
Feed to Top Producers
The Serv—O—Matic Dairy Feeder enables you to feed additional gram and concentrates
only to the top producing cows in your herd 1 It eliminates the labor problem of separating the
herd in a loose housing system to give individual attention to top producing animals.
The Serv—o—Metic is activated by a simple magnet fastened around the cow's neck This
way, only the ccws you select can activate the feeder and receive additional ration yet all
animals can still be housed together.
Each cow producing 10 lb or more over the herd average should receive extra feed In ac
tual trials, cows on the Serv—O—Matic consume an extra 10 lbs. of grain per day (while
eating some less in the parlor) Milk output shows an average increase of 1 lb. of milk for each
pound of concentrate fed through the Serv—O—Matic . some as high as 5 lbs of milk per
pound of feed'
One Serv—O—Matic will normally handle 20-30 cows in an 80-120 cow herd Normal pro
cedure is to put fresh cows on extra ration and remove the magnet when production drops to
a predetermined level
