With love, Rebecca Ann Sonnen PA Dairy Princess FLO-STAR" claw Bou-Matic®’s Flo-Star™ milking claw improves milk flow for: • Better cow health • Faster milk throughput, and • Better milk quality. Bou-Matic engineers designed the Flo-Star claw so milk flows smoothly and quickly out the bottom. Less agitation equals less chance of milk “mist” carrying bacteria among teats. So the Flo-Star claw can mean less mastitis spread at milking. Prove it to yourself by calling your Bou-Matic dealer for a free, on-farm demonstration.

Plant Azaleas (Delaware) If you’re think ing about planting the azalea you got for Easter, the success of its survival depends on the variety of the plant You really have to know the variety name before you can definitely tell whether it’s hardy or not, advises Jeff Jabco, Delaware County Cooperative Extension Agricultural Agent. Unfortunate ly, most azaleas are sold without a variety name tag. If your plant is the large flowering type, particu larly if it bears pink or red blooms, there’s a good chance it has been forced in a greenhouse for Easter sales and is not hardy enough to stand this climate. The small flow ering red ones are probably the hardiest azaleas we have. Varieties such as Hinodegiri and Hinocrimson (both red). Coral Bells (pink), and the Delaware Valley white are hardy and do well in Delaware County. Location is important in plant ing outdoors. If you have any doubts, plant on the east side of the house where the plants have morn ing sun and afternoon shade. Aza leas are broad-leaved evergreens and need an acid soil. Mix peat moss with the soil at planting time to provide the best growing condi tions. With love, Donna Lencoski Latrobe With love, Ruth Etta Nolt Fleetwood
