Deer Antler Development
Depends on Food Supply
If we didn’t have so many
hunters in Pennsylvania, we
would have more White-tail
ed deer. With a larger herd
of greater average age, we
should have more bucks that
might bear trophy antlers.
But, if we had more deer,
feed for each one would be
less and probably buck hunt
ing would be less rewarding
in terms of big racks.
This is about the way T
A. Long and R. L. Cowan of
the Department of Animal
Nutrition of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, Pennsyl
vania State University, sum
up the situation.

Hot Lunch in a Huny
Cnsp coated sandwiches, hot and golden brown, make a hearty
hurry-up lunch. Secret of the beautiful coating is a quick dip in
evaporated milk and egg. Make your" sandwiches as usual with
ham and cheese or luncheon'meat! Then dip'the whole sandwich
in the milk and egg mixture. One-ljiird Cup milk and one egg
makes enough dip for two or three grilled sandwiches, and the
dip can be increased' accordingly for the number of sandwiches
to be made. ... - ‘ - *•-
Evaporated milk js double rich immilk nutrients. It not only
steps up the food value of the sandwiches but gives them their
golden crust when hot off the grill. Serve the sandwiches with
broiled tomatoes and a perky green salad.

during the period of antler
development if bucks are to
bear large antlers.
Mature bucks do not need
to be quite as well fed as
yearlings to grow good racks,
the newest information indi
cates in Progress Report 209,
published by the Agricultur
al Experiment Station at
Penn State.
Drs. Long and Cowan point
out that most of the deer
shot by hunters are yearlings
and two-year olds, according
to Game Commission records.
Since young bucks still are
growing, body growth takes
precedence over antler de
velopment. The young age of
bucks, plus the large deer
herds ip the State and lack
of adequate browse, account
for small antlers.

hen eggs—alter they had
been laying 12 to 14 months.
That's when Quality Eggs

Feed Grain To
Dairy Cattle
At Calving Time
Feeding relatively large
amounts of gram immediate
ly before or setter freshening
will not increase the inci
dence or'seventy of udder
congestion in dairy cows,
says Associate Chester Coun
ty Agent Joseph K Way
This, he adds, has been clear
ly demonstrated in studies at
the New Yoik and Illinois
Agricultural Experiment Sta
tions
Some dairymen have dis
continued or drastically re
duced grain feeding to pre
vent congested or swollen
udders. Way suggests such a
practice be discarded as the
cow’s needs for nutrients are
great immediately before
and after calving.
He recommends most cows
be fed 8 to 12 pounds of
grain daily for at least one
week before freshening. In
crease the amount of grain
fed by about one pound
daily until her peak product
ion needs are met.
Studies show low blood
