Adulterated milk fears and infant health risk

The Milk Trade Against Innocent Children
An American Stock Breeder critique condemns city milk sellers for poisoning infants with unsafe milk. It portrays shrewd, selfish milkmen profiting from blood and death as health officers, parents, and even the sellers admit the danger yet justify the trade by claiming substitutes will appear.
Valuable Cattle Feeding Experiments Reported
The Ontario Agricultural College study in the Canadian Breeder tests winter cattle feeding with equal parts ground pease oats barley and corn mixed with hay and roots. Results show corn as the strongest contributor to cheap rapid production, with corn at seventy cents per bushel preferred to pease and oats at fifty six cents, according to measurements on twenty-one head over seven months.

The Foaming of Cream Causes and Remedies
An experienced dairyman explains that cream foaming stems from incorrect temperature and gas buildup from spoiled cream and impure milk. Key fixes include pure cow feed and water, clean equipment, cool storage at or below 62 degrees, churning soon after cream ripens, and avoiding hot weather stress on cows to prevent gas development and difficult churning.

Calf Rearing and Seasonal Milk Management in Prairie Farming
Prairie Farmer notes optimal calf timing for milk and pig feeding. Fall or early winter calves let cows rest and milk flow remains high. Winter affords more leisure, easier care, and higher cream prices at creameries, doubling winter returns vs summer.

Wintering Pigs Through Winter Thrifty Growth Tips
Pigs born after October 1 require liberal feeding and careful management to stay thrifty through winter. Small herds thrive on kitchen scraps and broth while large flocks demand ample, balanced rations. Provide cool dry quarters, minimize disturbance, and favor rest, as pigs are partly hibernating. Well wintered pigs recover quickly on grass and clover next summer.
Pasture Can Best Improve Young Pigs
Advice from Rural Nebraska notes that pasture fattening can yield better profits than keeping pigs for autumn sale. If young pigs are unsold or unwanted, give them careful, liberal feeding through winter. Properly cared for young pigs fatten on clover pasture the next summer, making the most profitable pork.

Sheep Husbandry Still Profitable Despite Low Wool Prices
The Pittsburg Stockman argues that despite low wool prices in recent years many farmers should not abandon sheep keeping. Over ten years sheep farming averages profits comparable to other crops, and even with low wool and staple prices, costs and indirect benefits from grazing, weed control, manure, and land improvement add value. Liberal estimates place yearly sheep upkeep at $2 per head, fleeces at $2, weaned lambs at $2, with 50 percent of lambs reaching weaning, yielding about $3 per sheep plus additional manure and forage value.

Keeping Turnips In Winter Storage
The English flat turnip is hard to keep in winter as it sponges and loses sweetness in cellar bins. German Swede stores better. growth triggers loss of solidity and sweetness. To retard growth, avoid light and heat, keep a cool even cellar, and use cool insulating materials like deciduous tree leaves. Leaves cover turnips to tolerate cellar temps down to twenty degrees.
Things Worth Knowing
Experiments show older larger cattle need more food per growth pound and animals kept longer waste more. Advice covers farm management essentials, dairy and milk safety, breeding, pruning, tree wound coverings, and manure as fertilizer. Emphasizes farmer responsibility and practical husbandry.
