ITO the stockment or farmer who
is faced with the problem of
wintering beef cows, the results
of the experiments carried on at the
Northern Montana Experiment Sta
ton at Havre during the past four
years should be particularly welcome,
because they indicate that greater
economy in feeding and management
is possible than is generally the case.
according to Louis Vinke of the Mon
tana Experiment Station.
In discussing the different rations used
in the experiments, Mr.. Vinke says:
o all the ratiOns fed to beef cows dur
ing the past four winters, none failed to
maintain the weight of the COWS through
the winter. There was, however, a great
variation in the amount Of gain and the
cost of gain. A summary Of the different
trials shows that there are several differ
ent ratiOns that have given uniform re-
suits for several years. Others that have
been tried out for but a short time may
only be considered in a general way.
