Above, mechanical harvesting of forage for the dairy herd is per mitting many farmers to boost production without adding more land. By keeping cows in dry-lot they're able to harvest about 25% to 30% more forage per acre than when using various graz ing methods. Cows don't have a chance to trample and waste grass. Also you can control the forage production to provide top quality forage. Symbolical of the improved breeding available through artificial insemination, this ampule of frozen semen is the transmitter of improved dairy characteristics. Artificial breeding is used on 50 percent of the nation's dairy herds on more than one-third of the milking cows. Above, in the new Ton ganoxie pipeline system, both the vacuum and milk lines are washed at the same time—in place —after every milking. Washing and sanitizing solutions are slugged through the entire sys tem in a continuing flow. The diagram shows the Tonganoxie system hooked up for washing. Changeover is simple— hooking up the manifold, moving milk discharge pipe from bulk tank to wash tank, and setting up milk-pump trap for vacuum washing. Then open a valve—throw a switch—and wash. Left, complete produc tion records on each cow in the milking string are as essential as a milking machine or bulk milk tank on today's modern dairy farms. Electronic machines for keeping records are coming in to use. Management groups, sometimes under the supervision of col leges, are being set up to make such systems prac tical for the farmer. 4-way action saves you money Insist on Carbola disinfecting white paint 1.
