The bureau provides allotments and family allowances, compensation for disability or death, and affordable life insurance for Marines and sailors, funded by the government. Nearly 2.25 million men have applied, with checks totaling over 83 million dollars issued by May 28.

Right Management of Hogs for Summer Comfort and Profit
The article explains that sun shading, clean water, and succulent grazing are vital for summer hog care. Hogs suffer in heat when kept in exposed pens, becoming efficient fat producers but vulnerable to sun. Sunshades improve comfort, feed efficiency, growth, and profitability, as hogs lack full body cooling mechanisms and fat layers hinder heat loss.
Watering Work-Horses in Summer Field Practice
Farmers find watering horses profitable and humane. A barrel on a sled is carried to fields each morning, providing small sips that refresh and cool teams under heat. Regular watering prevents overheating and supports high workloads in city work and rural fields alike.
Cow's Milk For The Lambs Feeding Guidelines
The orphan lamb can be reared on cow's milk with added cream for richness. Feed at hourly intervals for the first ten days, limiting to two ounces per feeding. Use a baby bottle and nipple, then gradually introduce grain and roots as the lamb begins to nibble at ten days to two weeks old.
Treatment for Male Lambs and Early Castration
When male lambs are not sold promptly they should be castrated. Early castration reduces danger and improves sale value and growth. Keep hands and instruments clean with antiseptic, wash the wound, then place the flock in a clean grassy lot or hold it.
