Sanitary Milk Plant Card Aids Dairy Inspectors
Dairy inspectors recommend posting a score card in milk plants to guide workers and prevent lapses in sanitation. The U S Department of Agriculture notes floors walls and ceilings should be smooth and durable with concrete preferred for ease of cleaning. A separate milk handling room and closed doors reduce contamination and proper ventilation improves air quality.

Silage as Winter Ration at Missouri Experiment Station
Investigations led by F B Mumford show cattle wintered economically on silage heavy rations. Yearlings fed corn silage and clover hay for 150 days gained 20 pounds at a cost of 11.60 dollars, 5.5 cents per pound, versus 15.75 dollars and 7.8 cents per pound when fed six pounds of shelled corn daily with clover. Other experiments confirm reduced wintering costs with silage as major ration.

Reduce Cost of Butterfat with Silage at Kansas Experiment Station
An experiment at the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station shows silage lowers butterfat production costs from 30 cents to 21 cents. Silage-fed herds produced seven pounds more milk in summer and 95.6 pounds more in winter per month, with butterfat increases of 46 pounds in summer and 4.6 pounds in winter. Feed cost savings reached 60 cents per month, highlighting significant efficiency gains over dry-feed diets.
