A historical report describes a clever thief in an Ohio farm yard using a cat dust sack to cover a cow and block flies. The piece notes the clever method during a period of heavy fly annoyance and the cow’s struggles beneath the improvised cover.
George I. Scott explains a simple device using sacks sewn into a robe that covers a cow’s neck and horns to keep her still during milking and prevent fly irritation. The robe, tied from coffee or fertilizer sacks, reduces restless tail swishing and may replace tail tying, with steps for use and removal.
A Wisconsin dairy leader named McPherson shows how smart herd management boosts profits. He was paid $63 per cow in cash plus $12 per cow for skim milk value, totaling $75 per cow, while a less carefull rival earned only $40 per cow. The contrast emphasizes studying cows as machines, feeding optimally, and reducing production costs to lift profits.
The text discusses dairy cow performance after early lactation, noting first calf cows yield less than later calves and that gilt-edge butter may fail from milk of cows fed cotton seed meal. It warns that laziness harms dairy profit and stresses washing churned butter to prevent rancidity, while noting large cows raise feeding costs on the dairy farm.
In this Western Rural piece N. J. Shephard argues profitable dairying hinges on using fewer, higher yielding cows. Select top cows, breed to improve, and cull poor performers. Emphasize good blood, proper feed, and thorough care. Improve milk, cream, and butter handling to maintain quality while lowering production costs.
The French Republic passes a strict butter fraud law pending senate approval. Oleo or other compositions cannot be sold as genuine butter, must be sold in designated places, labeled margarined products must show ingredients, and vendors must display names and addresses. Inspectors gain entry rights, with penalties ranging from six days to three months imprisonment and fines up to 1000 dollars, plus harsher penalties for repeat offenders.
A new sheet iron boiler sits atop brickwork to simplify boiling for stock feed. It raises and removes easily with a handle and grip, enabling direct emptying into pails or tubs. For outdoor use, galvanized iron resists rust, and a middle iron rod supports large boilers.
EF C Bennett of Epitomist explains white specks in butter arise from poor cream ripening and wheyed off cream forming diots and curd clots. These remain in butter, resist coloring, and spoil appearance. Straining cream before churning prevents clots from entering butter.
In 1 Chronicles 17 and related prophecies, David desires to build a temple for Jehovah. God forbids the direct building but promises an enduring house for David and a future Messiah. Solomon later builds the temple. Christ fulfills the greater spiritual temple promise, with lessons on divine wisdom shaping answered prayers.
