(Citizens News Photo) Chea r , liking Time For Your Herd (This message brought to you through the courtesy of Hensall District Co-operative) Good dairymen work sharp pencils in tracing costs and finding ways to reduce costs. The following reminder may give you an idea, if you operate a dairy farm. Time is money. One way you can make sure you are using your time, or your herdsman's ime efficiently is to check the milking time for your herd. Here's how. Multiply the number of units used by the number of minutes between preparing the first cow and removing the last unit from the last cow. Divide the total Petroleums Limited Gasoline ® Diesol HEATING OILS Valvoline and Veedol Motor Oil and Greases "Go With Arrow" AGENT: ROBERT N. McKINLEY Dial 2364830 — ZURICH number of unit minutes by the number of cows milked. This gives the average minutes per unit per cow. This milking time includes (1) cow prepara- tion, (2) the time spent moving units from cow to cow, (3) ac- tual milking, (4) removing unit from the cow, (5) moving cows in and out of milk parlor if used. For example, if you are using three units to milk 30 cows and your total time from. start to finish is 60 minutes, your aver- age is 6 minutes (3x60-30:6). Many good dairymen keep aver- age unit time as low as 6 min- utes per cow. One must realize if you are carrying milk some distance your time will be much longer. If your unit time is too high, one or more of the following factors may be re- sponsible: 1—Operator using too many units, 2—Doing other chores during milking. 3—Insufficient preparation of cows for milk let -down be- fore machines are attached. 4—Machine left on cows after milk flow ceases. This may cause udder trouble. 5—Machine problems such as worn out pump, worn out flabby inflations or liners, plugged vacuum line, leaky stall cocks, inoperative va- eumm controller, and sticky or leaky pulsators.

ZURICH THURSDAY, NQVEMI3ER 7, 1968 it is a concession for Ontario corn growers, and comes asa result of their tractor demon- stration as few weeks ago. It is at Ieast a recognition on the part of the government that U.S. corn is being dumped, and that corn growers are in seri- ous difficulty.. However, he disagreed that the value for duty was high enough, or that $L05 was the real support price in the U.S. for corn. He claimed that sub- sidies of 30 cents per bushel plus acreage payments for not growing corn in the U.S. were not included in the $1.05 price. Futhermore he said, there is a 25 cent a bushel tariff on Ca. nadian corn to the States, but only eight cents on U.S. corn coming to Canadian markets. "There is disparity here, which is very unfair to Cana- dian farmers," he added. Mr. Miller said he could not understand how U.S. Agricul- ture Secretary Orville Freeman formed his conclusions that the U.S. corn program has been beneficial to Canadian farmers under such a tariff structure of the past.
