Photo To Appear In Magazine Next Month An Adams county farmer will; be honored with a photograph taken on his farm appearing in the October issue of Capper’s Farmer, it was learned here today. Franklin Steury of route one, Berne, is the farmer. A picture showing a Holstein cow drinking from the fountain will be found on page 25 of the magazine, read by more than 1,000 Adams county farmers. The picture states that Steury’s cows help themselves to a righttemperature drink anytime from a waterer in the loafing shed which is thermostatically controlled so that heating tape can keep the pipes warm. Livestock animals won’t eat and gain efficiently un- ! less they get plenty of water, Steury has found, and they won’t drink unless it’s ice-free. There are about 2,321,000 dairy cows in England and Wales this year, a drop of five per cent since >958. “BROASTED” GOLDEN DROWN CHICKEN SHAFFER’S Restaurant ; 904 N. 13th St, Call 3-365 Z 1 r '
