I PEYTON FARM SUPPLY Yancey County CHECKERBOARD Os Deyton and ——— - More and -more* feeders are deciding that it is the results obtained from a bag of feed rather than the price that is important. They are learning to figure the cost of the milk, meat, or eggs rather than the cost tag on the feed. Willie J. Allen who looks af ter Mrs. Sallie Blankenships Dairy switched their dairy cows to Purina from a much cheaper feed. One week later the cows were producing 30 lbs. more milk per day and they were feeding seven bags of Purina rather than nine of the other feed. This was a daily saving on feed of approximat ely 50c in addition to the in creased income of $1.50 from 30 lbs extra milk. This amounts to $2.00 more income per day on purina than on the competi tive feed. It doesn’t take an ac countant to figure which pro duces milk the cheapest. Watch pasture condition for key to profits What is a pasture? It’s a place where grass is so good that a cow can fill her stomach in two hours or less, then lie down in the shade and rest. While she’s resting, she’s working for the ~ farmer. .If she has to spend all day getting enough food, the cow is working for herself, not for you. A permanent pasture should be convenient to the barn, should have a supply of .clean water, and should be fertilized Deyton Farm Supply SHpOORD K ARNEY FOX ■RLING TONESS Ir By pMPANY PRerember 11th, 1986, at the Carolina, under the act es bananer puddin, an make a bee line fer the river bank sommers on Sunday mornin’ an not git back ‘til bed time that nighnt.” The way rever-rant Samuel sized hit up, in most cases these folk can put ther religion in the bottom of the basket an still have plenty room fer at least two square meals fer the whole | family packed in on top. ** * * A moßt onusual weddin fail ed to take place in our naybor hood a couple of wees ago re cently, betwixt the promising parties of the first an second ' parts. They’uns were a-gettin on jus plumb beautiful with the ' ceromony when the parson axed ' the usualquestion of th-bride to- be, er, that is, the bride what-was-about-to-be, “Do ye, Tilly Ann, promise to honor an obey yore husband?” They were a moment of silence so still you cud a-heard a pin fall, an then Tilly Ann busted out a-cryin. Betwixt sobs she said, Th’ Bible says, children obey your parents an if I promise to obey Sam, IFII be dis-obeying my maw, who tc’.d me never to promise I’d I’d mind any man alive!” And isir, before you could a sed Jack Robinson thet gal jerked loose from Sam an run outen the j house like a skeered rabbit. , Then o’course they weren’t no , thin left to do but postpone . the weddin. The last account is thet Sam has decided to list [ fer furrin duty in Germany or , sommers. So, I reckon the wed din’s ben postponed fer the duration. a *" ' •« • • Me, I don’t recolect if the parson axed Sallie, toy wife, iffen she’d promise to obey me i or not.

Allow at least one acre, per cow, if possible. v Divide pasture into several paddocks and graze in rotation. Electric fencing makes this easy. £void overgrazing at all times. Feed on Pasture i Even when turned out into ■ the finest spring pasture, cows 1 need some grain ration and hay each day. When pastures become less lush, it’s a good idea td feed a gallon of Purina Bulky-Las night and morning with the regular ration to scold cow condition. Remember, it’« cow condition that makes milk—and profits! ** • • AT THE CRY OF “FIRE” would you know where to put your hands on a ladder, a buck et or hose? It’s a good idea to set up “fire stations” at dan ger points in house and barn to aid fast action °in case of fire.
