Winter Menu For
Dairy Herd Given
By A Specialist
]. A. Arey, Dairy Extension Spe-
cialist AT State College,
Offers Suggestions.

A grain mixture which contains
from 1,4OO to $500 pounds of digest
ible nutrients per ton is recommend
ed as winter feed for a young dairy
herd by j. A. Arey, dairy extension
specialist at State College. "a good
mixture should not contain more
than 8 to 10 percent fibre, and
should weigh about one pound per
quart" he said.
A young dairy herd requires ex-
ira care as cold weather approach
es, and poor feed and care during
the winter months will result in
stunted animals that can never de-
velop into a high producing cow,
Arey stated.
A grain mixture composed of two
parts meal, one part wheat bran,
on part ground oats and one part
soybean ,linseed or cotton seed meal
is suggested for good results. In
assembling a grain mixture on the
farm or purchasing ready-mixed
feed, Arey advised that the follow
ing facts be kept in mind:
1.-The mixture containing the
largest number of pounds of digest
ible nutrients per ton is usually the
most economical one.
1.-THE mixture should be palat-
able.
Sit should contain variety OF
feeds.
At should be slightly bulky.
SIT should balance with the
roughage to be fed. For example
mixture containing around 16 pei
cent protein is suitable to be fec
with a god legume hay; one con
tanning around 20 per cent protein
is suitable for a mixed hay; and one
! containing about "a per cent proteir
should be used with non-legumi
nous hay.

Winter is approaching and it brings
