They believe it is rare that yogurt made at home comes up to the best standards If it were as simple as it appears, Dannon and other commercial producers would not need expensive laboratories or highly trained laboratory help to prepare fresh cultures every day. They could simply take yester day’s leftover yogurt from the refrigerator, use it as a "starter’’ in today’s milk and thus make tomorrow's yogurt There is more to making real yogurt. The product made at home often looks and tastes quite pleasant, but too often it is not yogurt, but sour milk or clabber. Sometimes, after the first transfer, you will still find living yogurt organisms, but we doubt very much that you will fmd them after the second transfer. Temperature controls are also vital A good yogurt should set in about three hours, give or take a few minutes If it does not, in our humble opinion, it just isn’t yogurt Also, several companies pasteurize the end-product to prolong its shelf life Every yogurt manufacturer probably pasteurizes the milk with which yogurt will be made This is-nor mal. this is required by law But tMATIC >n draft >mrol fr«e linkage system for the when you pasteurize yogurt (the finished product), you probably kill a lot of the living organisms. If your readers end up buying one of these containers as a starter and make several transfers, they may waste not only a cup of yogurt but also the milk, the tune and the trouble. The chances of this homemade product setting up are just not very good 1 hope this information is useful to your readers Vice President R.C. Auletta and Company, Inc. In the February 6 issue of Lancaster Farming, the article “Collison covers latest in poultry insect control,” reference was made to the insecticide Ectiban. It was reported tha* "the rights for Ecitban were sold last July” and that the product in now marketed by Hess & Clark under the name Insectnn and by Ralston Purina as Hard Hitter Id Americas Inc has written to point out that they have not sold the rights to Ectiban and still continue to market the insecticide However, they did license the two other companies to market the 5.7 percent emulsified concentrate and 25 percent wettable powder under their own brand names More useable power in the 45 to 68 PTO hp range. Take a look at the Deutz D 4507 (45 HP), D 5207 (52 HP), D 6207 (61 HP), and 06807 (68 HP) Tractors. Four outstanding models delivering all the extra performance you could want in this horsepower range. The world famous Deutz air-cooled diesel engine operates with higher temperatures to deliver better fuel efficiency, less repairs. The durable engine provides more lugging capacity. And Deutz TRANSFERMATIC hydraulics let you lift the biggest loads with precision control. Peter F.Burke (Turn to Page A 27) 1 Now is p I the Time fj J u (Continued from Page A 10) when producers could become relaxed in swine disease prevention measures. Control and prevention of pseudorabies in Lancaster County has been very effective through the winter months. Chester D. Hughes, Ex tension Livestock agent, refreshes swine producers with these pseudorabies prevention guidelines for spring and summer for all herds; Isolate pigs from all other livestock, Allow no visitation in your hog house and don’t visit others. Sanitizer and footbath, or clean boots and appropriate clothing provided for authorized visitors. Control stray animals. Pre-sort hogs for shipment to prevent hogs from entering truck and returning to pen. Haul pigs in clean sanitized vehicles only. Dispose of dead pigs promp tly, bury under one toot of cover, incinerate, or seal in bag and give to scavenger. Call vet if herd has nervous disorders or unusual problems. Eradicate infections - request eradication guidelines from the County Agent Encourage everyone to adopt these practices - farmers and servicemen. Consider permanent iden tification system in your herd
