It notes border counties, former residents with holdings, and signers who have assigned payments to bankers and dealers. County ASC offices are issuing drafts for the 1960 rental payments, totaling 18 million dollars.

Dehorning calves in Plymouth County 4-H urged
Don Fleming urges removing horns from Baby Reeves calves to reduce injuries in pens. He notes horned calves can injure handlers or rivals, and that dehorning is quick for a competent worker. Fly season’s end lowers infection risk, weather favors healing, and weight 700 800 pounds means smaller wounds later.

Proper animal housing for winter conditions
Winter housing basics emphasize dry and draft-free environments. Avoid closing ventilation, maintain dry bedding to prevent lung infections, and keep feed banks at about twenty four inches to reduce calf strain and encourage proper intake. Continuous monitoring of humidity and feed height supports animal health through cold periods.
Nostalgia for auction days as old fire horses return
Don Cunningham reflects on fall nostalgia after thirty years in the auction business. He recalls roots, regret at leaving a chosen career, and quotes Walt Mason about auction season with rain, cold, and buyers bidding on mouldy hay, old pumps, and worn tools. The piece evokes small-town auction culture and timeless rites of sale day.

Superannuated animals blamed as cheap purchase targets
A fragment argues that aging sows and lean cows are chosen for low cost, claiming frugality as mankind's chief desire and justifying the stance as a means to keep prices down. The language hints at a satirical or rhetorical critique of price-driven farming practices.
Rainy day Want Ad for quick regula bids
A clipped Want Ad note in the rain invites rapid bids on long list items. The terse, playful text suggests urgency and a house afire pace to secure quick regulation in rough weather. It reads as a marginal ad urging swift action.
