Quality roughage alone can provide much of the protein and energy needed for milk production. But since roughages may lack both balance and quantity of minerals necessary for maximum milk production, bone and muscle development, and the most efficient utilization of other nutrients—many dairymen need a mineral supplement program. How can you tell if you need a mineral supplement program? Let us make a free analysis of your forage crops. We'll give you a report on the nutrient value of your hay, silage, or other roughages, along with recommendations for any supplements—if necessary. We won't try to sell you anything you don't need! Our three mineral mixes—Beacon" Phos-Min, Beacon Mineral Ade and Beacon Cal-Min—are formulated by highly respected dairy nutrition specialists. The supplement they recommend will contain the necessary minerals to make up deficiencies.or imbalance in your, roughages and to achieve the proper calcium-phosphorus ratio in your total feeding program.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 19,1981—813 grapes grown during 1979. “We were very pleased to receive the medals,” said owner and winemaker Dick Nissley. “The competition was much tougher this year,” he added. Out of a record number of 792 wines judged at the Eastern Wine Competition, only 180 were awarded medals, 19 of them gold. One hundred wineries from 22 states east of the Rockies and two provinces of Canada entered wine in'the competition. While Millrace White was one of seven specially selected wines served at the five-course banquet, Nissley’s apple wine was also served but not in a glass. It was an ingredient in the Roast Ten derloin Normandy, developed by Steve Dumas of the Greystone Inn at Ithaca, New York, who acted as chef for the conference. Last year, Nissley’s big winner was Aurora 1979 which received a gold medal, while seven other Nissley wines received silver or bronze medals. One of Nissley’s vinifera wines, recently was served at the National Museum of American LANCASTER Ask any person you happen to see about the need for a will and most people will reply, “Sure, it’s a good idea, everybody should have one.” What is a will? Essentially it’s a legal document which says who is to receive any portion or all of your estate or personal property. In addition, you can name a personal representative to act on your behalf during the estate settlement and, if necessary, a guardian for aiiy minor children. If the minor children are to receive property from the estate, a guardian of their property can also be named. What if you die without a will? In this situation, your property will be distributed according to the In terstate Law of Pennsylvania. This is a schedule set up by the legislation for the distribution of the deceased’s property. “Generally, this schedule follows family lines in determining where the property is to go,” says John Becker, Penn State assistant professor of agricultural law Extension. For example, if a husband dies owning a $60,000 certificate of deposit in his own name, and he is survived by his wife and their two children, then his estate, after the History in Washington, D.C. The occasion was a luncheon held on November 4 for First Lady Nancy Reagan prior to the ceremony where she presented her Inaugural Ball gown to the Smithsonian Institution. Distribution to six wine shops in the Washington area is handled by Nissley’s daughter Mary Lee. “We are gradually expanding our market,” she commented. “We also hope to establish some wine shops soon under the new Penn sylvania legislation.” Recently passed House Bill 357 permits a Pennsylvania wine producer to establish three locations for wine sales in addition to the winery. Visitors are welcome at the Nissley winery located near Bainbridge. The stone-arch winery, built by Dick Nissley and his son John, houses the large -stainless steel tanks used for fermenting and storing the wines. A tour of the winery also includes the vineyards tended by John and a sample tasting of Nissley’s award winning wines. Making a will payment of debts and expenses, would be distributed in this manner: —The surviving spouse would receive $30,000 plus one-half of the balance of the estate. The remainder of the estate would be shared equally by the two children. —But if the children were children of a prior marriage of the deceased husband, then: —The surviving spouse would receive only one-half of the estate. —The remainder of the estate would be shared equally by the two children. This is but one example of how the Interstate Law provides for the distribution of an individual’s estate. The major advantage in having a will prepared is that the individual concerned determines who will receive his or her property after death.
