He describes starter feeding with fresh milk, then skimmed milk with oatmeal, gradual transition to hay and bran, and eventual shift to dry feed. Emphasis on regular feeding, proper temperature, and consistent routine to ensure thrift and better butter from the cow.

Fever in Cows Parturient Apoplexy and Nervous Prostration
A veterinary report discusses that fever in cows during parturition is a nervous disease causing prostration rather than a true fever. The author claims high treatment success, notes it is most common in cows in high condition, late pregnancy, and during warm weather, with early symptoms including shifting weight and hindquarter weakness progressing to inability to rise.
Selecting dairy stock by pedigree and milk potential
George E. Newell argues farmers should not rely on appearance when choosing dairy heifers. He urges breeders to examine lineage and milk traits, warning against crossing low-milk stock. He notes western herds with limited milch cows exceed larger dairies due to stricter selection and survival of the fittest.

Red clover advised for dairy farms in winter feeds
Dairymen are urged to grow red clover as a top winter feed. Milch cows thrive on red clover through winter when crops are good. Local failures are often due to unusual conditions, not the crop itself, and a careful effort can make red clover a successful forage.
The Sheep Adage From a Southern Grass Advantage
One of the most marked advantages of the South is the ability to grow grasses which may be pastured in. The note requests publishing a clipped source about sheep rearing and breeding, implying better forage and livestock outcomes in the region.

Breeding Sheep to a Standard for Better Profit
The article argues breeders must set a standard and breed toward it, using select pairings of animals with complementary merits. It warns against keeping poor animals and stresses the need for persistence, thoroughbred influence, and careful selection to improve flock quality and ensure profitable mutton production.
Feeding and Wool: German Experiments on Sheep Output
German trials on feeding and rations show wool yield peaks with well fed non fattened sheep. Daily ration increases beyond maintenance yield do not raise wool. under maintenance wool declines. Wool growth persists without food but within limits, and fattening for wool is unnecessary. Practical guidance urges balanced care to optimize all flock returns rather than focusing on wool alone.

The Melange Plants Feed and Salt Value for Farmers
A Farm and Home summary discusses how plants obtain carbon mainly from the air, with estimates of 28 tons of carbonic acid per acre in the atmosphere. It reports that root crops in carbon-rich soil fare better, but not clearly due to carbon. Carbon is unlikely to be profitable as fertilizer. Lime and plaster effects vary. burnt lime, gypsum, and sulphate may help in vegetable-rich soils like old sod, ploughed meadows, and bogs.

Agricultural feed and salt recommendations in 19th century text
The text lists dairy and livestock feeding guidance including salt use in chaff mixtures and daily allowances. It specifies amounts for cows, oxen, pigs, sheep and horses, detailing mild and fattening contexts and noting salt's role in digestion and saliva flow. The passage reflects period farming practices and measurement units of ounces per animal category.
Dairy farming as a profitable, versatile farming path
Dairy farming provides steady income and land value gains, suitable for small capital and adaptable to diverse farming systems.

Beer and the Burglar in a Night of Beer Laughter
Norwich man Norwich Bullavin awoke to a night of terror when a popping bottle sounded like burglars. He fired, hid, and chased noises to the cellar where bottles of birch beer turned the scare into a comic overreaction. After the spree he laughed off the scare and declared a hundred dollars could not buy back the fun.
