Many Crafts on Display at Recent Strathaven Springf est 1 Newcastle Mayor Garnet Riekard checks out some of the crafts that are made by Strathaven residents. Mayor Rickard and Durham East MPP Sam Cureatz attended opening ceremonies at the Springfest. By Rod Stonk, Assoc. Agricultunal Represeatative Test Forages Now Each year more and more Ontario farmers are achieving improved performance fnomn their livestock through the use of a balanced feeding program, based on chemical analysis of home-grown feeds. Last year, 6,200 feed samples were analyzed through the lab at the University of Guelph, with a high pencentage of these being neceived between October first and Januany 3lst. As a nesult of the large number of samples received during this period, tura- around time between submitting a feed sample and necelving the resuîts was considerably longer than at any other time of the yean. Many of the samples analyzed during this peniod wene, la fact, forages harvested during the summen months. Since forages form the backbone of many dairy and some beef rations, farmers should have forage samples analyzed now, instead of waiting tili late fal on early winten. Based on the analysis, a balanced feeding program can be fonmulated by the computer for dairy producers or maaually for beef producens. This will help prevent the health and reproductive pnoblems on genenal poor performance often associated with improperly balanced nations. The taking of feed samples is the most citical step in the entire feed analysis and ration formulation process., The lab can only analyze and report results on the sample it receives, thus it is extremely important that the sample represent the feed that is la stonage. The recommended sampling procedure for baled hay is to set aside on a random basis, a bale from eveny second on third wagon load. Samples fnom the bales, set aside must be taken with a forage core samplen avallable, on boan, from county offices of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Core samples should be taken from 1at least a dozen bales mixed la a dlean, dry pail and a small amount of this mixture submitted for analysis. For hays which differ markedly in quality, due to rain damage, on finst or second-cut hay-they should be analyzed separately and stoned la sepanate haymows to facilitate a better winter feeding program. Hay already in stonage should be sampled up to the mow face to obtain a nepresentative sample. For hay cnop silage, it is impossible to obtain a repre- sentative sample, once the silo is filled, since ensiling has little or no effect on chemical determinations carried out in the lab. Silage samples should be collected as the silo is being filled. A handful should be taken fnom every third or founth wagon load and placed la a plastic garbage bag. At the end of the day, these samples should be mixed and a sub sample taken and frozen in a freezen bag. Aften the silo is filled, these daily samples should be thawed, mixed and a portion of the mixture sent away for analysis. For feed analysis resuîts to be of value, they must be used to 'formulate a balanced feediag pnogram. Dainymen have available a computer- ized dairy feed formulation service; while for beef producens, hand calculated nations can be done.

Home Economïcs Footnotes By Linda Caldwell, Home Economist Fneeziag Extends Ontario's Stnawbenry Season With Ontario's strawberny season only 3 to 4 weeks long, many people are eager to freeze stnawberries now and enjoy them later in the yean. If you plan to freeze some strawberries this summer, choose firm, red, fully-ripe berries, because strawberries don't ripen once they are picked. Sort the, bernies, remnoving those with bruises, blemishes or soft spots. Wash them in cold water, dry well, then remove the hulîs. Srawberries may be frozen with or without sugar. However, for the best texture and flavour, slce the bennies and pack them in sugar. Use 34cup sugar to 4 cups of sliced bernies. If you wish to leave the bernies whole, use ½/ cup sugar to 4 cups whole bernies. To freeze without sugar, leave the bernies whole. Place the strawberries in single layers on shallow trays and freeze them quickly. When they are frozen, package them la Sharon Cahais, of Bowmanville, tries on a handwoven cape. Wendy 1 few adjustments to the capè at her weaving display in Strathaven. freezer containers. For freezer packaging, use plastic freezer bags or plastic cartons. Be sure to suck out al the air with a straw before closing the freezer bags. For the plastic cartons, leave a headspace of 1/ inch for the pints and 1 inch for the quarts. This allows for expansion of the fruit during freezing. Why not freeze some Ontario strawberries now and have the pleasure of enjoying them later.
