Al2—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, (March 20,1982
OUR READERS WRITE,
AND OTHER OPINIONS
You put out a great rural
publication and I guess we take
this for granted and never write to
tell you this. Editors usually only
hear from readers when they have
a complaint.
In your February 27th issue on
page D-6, your heading says “Co
op speak out for Milkerendum”
and you include PFA in your
Mild milk ribbing
I am writing in regard to an
article on alfalfa
management published in the
February 13, 1982 edition of
Lancaster Farming
The article was based on a
presentation I made at the Penn
sylvania Forage and Grassland
Council Annual Meeting in
November and was well wntten
There was, however, a
typographical error in the third
paragraph which has brought me
some good-natured ribbing horn
around the state
The first sentence should have
Equine Council meets
LANSDALE The Montgomery
County Equine Council will hold a

"Simplicity of the NU-PULSE Milker Impressed Us"

“We weren't happy with the milkers we were using and the simplicity of the Nu-Pulse milker
impressed us very much. Therefore, in 1979 we changed our milker system to the Nu-Pulse
milkers. Because of the simplicity, we've needed very little service from our dealer over the past
3 years."
“With the Nu-Pulse milker, we’ve noticed the udders are softer & there has been no problems
with teat ends. Among our herd of 102 cows we have very little mastitis. Our S.C.C. was
600,000 to 800,000 before we had the Nu-Pulse milkers. Now it is down to 350,000. Our herd
average is 17.215 M 700 F.
We had a lot of problems before with our milkers falling off, but with the Nu-Pulse milkers
that hasn't been a problem at ail.
We were told how good the Nu-Pulse milker is and we’ve found it to be that and more. We have
strongly encouraged other dairymen to use Nu-Pulse milkers."
We’re ready
for you

read “Spring growth is rapid
because of mild temperatures and
ample moisture”. The word
“milk” appearing in the original
article has brought me mail
inquiring as to the proper tem
perature of the milk at application
time, as well as more information
on application rates.
Unfortunately, this article
should not be the inspiration of new
market development activities by
the dairy industry in the state.

They will discuss the recent
acquisition of 1,000 acres by the
county. This tract of land is located
around the Perkiomen Creek and
Reservoir m the Green Lane area
and plans call for it to be a county
park. There are trails now on this
acreage which could be designated
as bridle paths.

agitated in order to be removed,
these gases are more plentiful and
much more dangerous. Good
ventilation about the pit is very
important. Also, anyone who goes
down m the empty pit should be
wearing a gas mask. These gases
are dangerous and can be fatal to
both humans and animals. We urge
all farmers to caution their em
ployees of this potential danger.
