Chea r , liking Time For Your Herd
(This message brought to you

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

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.

Farm Union Head
Lauds Corn Deal
Some satisfaction has been
expressed by Walter Miller,
president of the Ontario Farm-
ers' Union, to the recent an-
nouncement that a value for
duty on corn has been imposed
by the federal government.
The measure is to raise the price
of corn entering Canada from
the U.S. to $1.05 per bushel,
supposedly the U.S. floor price.
Mr. Miller said thought, that
extra large, grade A large, and
grade A medium size eggs, to a
maximum of 10,000 dozen.
Producers shipping less than
1,000 dozen eggs in the support
year are not eligible.

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.
