An Iowa farm column surveys corn maturity and drainage effects on yields, hay prices this winter, and the role of labor on horse work. It weighs breeding choices for dairy and draft stock, sheep versus cattle manure, milking by machinery, and the Iowa State College dairy project.
A letter from Iowa argues feeding rye to hogs—ground into meal or slop—pays better than selling rye at 40 cents to buy corn. It notes rye's stronger balance as a ration, cites Stewarts and Ames practice, and compares nutrient ratios and corn variability to support the counsel.
The report indicates corn will be scarce and costly, oats poor in feeding value, potatoes light in yield, barley and rye near average, with hay and forage also noted as limited.
