The Ames reader column covers dehorning decline, feed tweaks with slop and skim milk for hogs, and dairy butter quality. It notes saddle horse potential for Iowa, details sterilization debates around 167 F, and reports Missouri and Iowa bulletins on clover, potash, nitrogen, and corn fodder timing.
A year long Cornell dairy study with twenty cows analyzes protein rich rations of bran, cotton seed meal, and corn with clover hay. Results show butter fat tied to milk yield, best cow fat output reaching 549 pounds, and feed efficiency varying by cow size and breed with implications for silage versus beets and general farm feeding strategies.
Farmers facing hard times feed wheat to hogs as grain prices fall. Reported results show hogs thriving and product quality improving. Experiment stations in non corn growing regions explore the method as an alternative in hog feeding.
Prof Budd leads experimental horticulture at Ames and argues for timbered bluff lands along Iowa rivers. He cites Cedar river sites in Benton and Linn counties and laments past clearing, urging state action to replant and study climate and rainfall effects. The piece weighs timber value against farm land, noting New York Adirondacks as a comparison and calling for scientific inquiry.
