Post Holiday protection to apples during storage
Post Holiday protection to the apple during 3 to 5 months of storage. Jonathan and Rome Beau ties made the best baked apples of those that had been stored. Other apples had good flavor but tended to become mushy and lose shape. For applesauce, Jonathan apples kept their tart flavor and cooked up well. The apples held in storage for several months made up into more applesauce than fresh apples yield. Lab tests for sugar content and acid matched taste panels.

Good Cows on the Farm Improve with Feeding and Care
A farmer discussed achieving an 8.2 or 83 herd average while noting progress is slow beyond 80 points. He stresses good cows need proper feeding and care, and describes a Holstein herd in a well-managed barn with ventilation, maternity pens, and climate control. Roughage drives the diet: 30 pounds of silage and four kinds of hay daily per cow, with grain limited to 17 pounds per day and a milking ration not exceeding 10 pounds.
