USDA cautions against Italian red clover seed due to cold sensitivity and disease risk. Across trials in Ashland Spooner Marshfield East Lansing College Park Blacksburg and Pennsylvania, Italian origin failed to consistently yield well, while American and some foreign varieties performed variably. The report urges reliance on domestic sources, improved seed production, and clear source information to protect farmers and trade.

Alfalfa Hay Tends to Insure Strong Litters
Alfalfa hay fed to sows in winter tends to produce healthy litters. It provides protein and minerals at low cost. Feeds include letting sows eat from the stack, using a rack, or mixing five to ten pounds of chopped alfalfa into 100 pounds of grain. Sample rations for a 250 pound sow mix alfalfa hay with corn tankage grain and skim milk.
Whole Milk Superior for Fattening Young Calves
There is nothing equal to whole milk for fattening calves and producing veal of high quality. If one cow cannot supply enough milk, two nurse cows may be provided. Calves should be kept in a heavily bedded dark box stall to encourage inactivity and maximize milk intake for best quality meat.
Comfortable Pig Growth in Different Environments
A 150 pound pig gains about 1.5 pounds daily in a warm shelter versus eating 1.5 pounds daily with open exposure in February. The sheltered pig converts 6 pounds of feed into 1.5 pounds gain, while the open pig wastes the same feed with no weight increase.
Farm Notes On Clover Pasture And Pests
Sweet clover makes ideal pasture for sheep and inoculation helps clover stands. County agents have influenced 2,500,000 farmers since extension work began. Kerosene emulsion fights sucking insects on soft-bodied pests. Hauling straw and filling gulleys may yield better returns than poor soil crops. A loose powder for cattle lice combines sabadilla seed and sulphur.
