Pellets produced at the Univer-
sity of Delaware Hay Research
Farm near Middletown, Del, have
been used in feeding studies at the
Experiment st ion and have
shown many advantages besides the
mechanics of handling.
The small compact hay pellets
can be easily moved by conveyers
and it is only matter of time un-
til practical field pelleting mach
ines may make them a common
form for forage handling, Mr.. Hen
derSOn says.
Soon calf feeding may be done
automatically by a waterline and
powdered milk dispenser machine
that starts operating when the calf
starts to suck on the discharging
nipple of the machine. The type
being tested now will feed a calf

Dairy Farming
COuntd0wn

What's new in the cowbarn? In
today's modern dairy barns about
the only things that Grandpa would
recognize would be the cows and
the farmers, and even they look
different.
Although dairying has not moved
as rapidly as some of the other seq
ments of agriculture, the count
down has begun and soon the aver
age dairy farm will be highly
mechanical affair increasing pro-
ductivity per man by three or four
times, according to the crystal ball
of county agricultural agent Will
lam H. Henderson.
One of the new mechanical trends
is a meter which regulates the feed
a COW gets by the amount of milk
she gives. 1t weighs the milk, then
calculates and delivers the correct
amount of feed into her manger. 1t
reduces labor and provides nom
guess grain supplement feeding,
Mr.. Henderson says.
The same type of meter machine
that regulates the feed control de-
vice can measure production for
each COW each time she is MIXED
1t also flashes red light when the
milk flow stops. This not only
saves time but also prevents udder
disease problems.
Self-feeding silos, zero grazing,
automatic hayfeeders and easily
handled hay pellets are other new
developments already in use on
some of the more advanced dairy
operations.
