Show Thursday, April 8, 1954 THE Cull Cows Create Surplus, Lower Prices Castle Gate Doctor High producing cows are not the offenders in putting surplus milk and butterfat on the market of the country. It is the cull cow that produces the dairy product at a high cost to the producer and creates the surplus which lowers the price, says County Agent Robert L. Hassell. A farmer milking 39 cows with an average annual yield of 229 pounds butterfat would make about $1500, above the cost of feed, for family living and other expenses. Such a herd would put ALSO SELECT ROYAL HOST IRANOY QUART, MrROOP Page Nine SUN-ADVOCA- Triumphs With Thrifty Tid-Bit- s r mm the market 22,327 of pounds milk and 8931 pounds of butterfat. A herd of only 15 cows would make the same approximate return to the farmer above feed cost if these cows were producers. Yet these cows would put on the market only 15,862 pounds of milk and 6315 pounds of butterfat. Such a herd pays the rural familys cost of living with much less labor and overhead. High unit production per cow, per acre and per man hour are the great needs of modern dairj ing, the agent declares. Efficiency has always paid, botli in business and on the farm. It is an American institution. Ten per cent or 11.000 of Utahs 111,000 dairy cows in 1953 were high producers averaging 98000 pounds of milk and 375 pounds of butterfat. Their owners know their production because they keep the efficient records available from 20 Dairy Herd Improvement Associations in 16 counties. This service is available to all Utah dairymen, the agent concludes. He can furnish more 425-pou- high-yieldi- nd To instrumental in having over 300 persons of the East Carbon area donate blood.

You dont need a long list of seasonings, either, to achieve good results. Matter of fact, three familiar friends, Tabasco, Salt and onion will do the trick with almost any meat dish you can name. Youve prob. ably used Tabasco most often with sea food, but it has a way with meat, just as have salt and onion. Chop the onion, add it, a good pinch of salt, and about U teaspoon of Tabasco to chopped steak when making hamburger patties. Include these three seasonings in stews, vegetable soups, and shepherds pie when youre making the most of bits of meat, and youll find they add an elegant flourish to such economy dishes. Shepherds Tie 4 tablespoons fat lVi cups cooked carrots 4 tablespoons flour ll,u cups cooked white onions 1 can peas 2 cups diced cooked meat Water U teaspoon Tabasco 1 teaspoon salt , 2 cups hot mashed potatoes Melt fat in skillet; stir in flour gradually; continue cooking until browned, 6tirring constantly. Drain Peas and add water to liquid to make 2 cups. Add liquid, salt and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Mix in carrots, onions and meat and heat slowly, stirring occasionally. Stir in Tabasco. Turn into 2 quart casserole. Place mashed potatoes around edge of casserole and bake in a moderately hot oven (400F.) about 15 minutes until potatoes are light brown.

Hassell, county agricultural agent. He further states that livestock being fed during winter months require almost one fourth less feed for maintenance if they are protected by a good windbreak. Still another use for tree windbreaks is fence row plantings to protect irrigated crops from the drying summer winds. Fence row plantings not only reduce water consumption materially, but increase yields a surprising amount. Trees for windbreak planting purposes, are not expensive, if pur Zinnias Sweet Peas Nasturtiums Snapdragons And Many Others Marigolds grown for Mountain West soil and climate Bloom profusely 1V Alyssum Morning Glory -n WEA ly.
