Can -Farm. 535 is a relatively small amount when one considers the huge. savings that can occur by using this program ro am. In Perth county, farmers have used it to increase -the fatcontent of their milk, to increase- milk production itself and to correct breeding and health problems. Itt some. cases producers have e been over feeding protein.. They've been able to main- tain production with less: concentrate • after a run through' the computer, For example, one man with 18% haylage, found that he could eliminate 400 lbs. of 32% concentrate from his ration, At current milk and feed costs, it doesn't take much of an adjustment to recover the 535.

"Cut the healthiest flow- ers • just coming intoe bloom: early in the morning or in the> evening when it. is coot, says Russell :Gomme. "Using,, a sharp knife or pruners, cut on a slant so the flowers can easily absorb'' water." If bringing insects into the home is a worry, hold the. sowers upside down and gently. ,shake them to dis- lodge ants or spiders.. The butt' ends of •hard,. stemmed flowers; such • as gladioli, should be crushed 21 to 5' centimeters (1. to 2 inches) from the bottom to increase water intake. •The ends of milky -Stemmed flow- ers should be charred with a candle flame. Conditioning cut flowers is the key to., prolonging their life indoors; Place cut flowers in -a pail of warm water "for three or four hours, then transfer them to cool water. Mr. Gomme 'says this hard- ening process allows flowers to tolerate their new home environment.. Any leaves that will be submerged below water should be removed before the flower stalks areplaced in water. The stems' should be shortened and the water should be changed daily.
