Weeding and Digestion Experiments on Cattle Cattle Fodder Trials
Agricultural notes from the New York Agricultural Experiment Station outline proposed feeding experiments for cows, sheep, and young animals. Rations include cornmeal with roots, hay with roots, linseed or cottonseed meals, and corn fodder. Trials test milk fat quality, butter firmness, and fat versus lean, with four feeding periods and digestibility studies starting November.

Soiling Cattle Proves Worth While in Wisconsin Study
Professor Henry of the Wisconsin Experiment Station reports that midsummer soiling can double milk and butter yield compared with pasturing. The trial tracked cows fed on clover and corn, noting heavy daily green fodder intake and the need to adapt land use to preserve milk flow during short-summer forage. He urges wider adoption of sailing as a midsummer strategy to offset lower prices and maintain production.

Feeding with corn fodder yields economical winter rations
A 12 year test on corn fodder shows feeding corn fodder cut at the right time and properly cured with cottonseed meal yields nearly hay-like results. Clover hay plus corn fodder forms an economical ration, with specifics on mixing and storage.

Dairy Utensils and Water Effects on Cheese Making
Cleaning dairy gear matters as much as ingredients. Use cold water with salt or soda, rinse, then scald. boiling water can coat milk onto surfaces and harm future batches. Favor cold wash over hot. wooden churns benefit from brine and thorough scouring before washing to preserve butter quality. The Stockman

To Make Cottage Cheese From Milk
Cottage cheese should be made while the milk is thick and firm before it becomes acidic. Heat milk over boiling water until about 60 Fahrenheit or warm as new milk to coagulate albumen, drain through a cloth, then mix curd with butter and sweet cream, add salt if desired, press in cold water dipped moulds, and turn out to serve. Too much heat makes the albumen tough and hard to digest.

Cows Water Source and Butter Quality Warned by Expert
The article warns dairymen that pond, stream, and swamp water harbor germs that spoil milk and butter. Well water remains preferred. summer runoff fosters brownish green cenfer and scum, causing turbid, putrid milk with high albumen and ropiness, leading to churning trouble.

Effects of Bad Water On Cows Milk and Health
Professor Law of Cornell found cows drinking stagnant pool water developed fever and milk full of living organisms. Pond water contained the same creatures, and pure milk mixed with pond water bred these organisms rapidly. The test implies living organisms can enter milk via improper food and drink and highlights the link between pure water and quality milk.

The Care of the Cow and the Calf Remedies for the Garget
Advice on training dairy cows to habits, regular routines, and careful calf rearing. Emphasizes farm leadership shaping animal behavior, feeding at fixed times, and handling calves gently to ensure health. Warns against cold or skim milk for young calves and offers substitutes like cottonseed or linseed oil.
Weather’s influence on dairy animal health and milk glands
The weather significantly affects the health of all animals but especially dairy stock. Milky glands are highly active in secretion and rely on ample arterial blood for tissue repair and renewal, as glands break down and are used for milk production.
The Cause and Care of Garget in Cows
Henry Sewart explains udder anatomy and the blood supply behind milk production and how overactivity can trigger garget. He lists causes from overfeeding to cold exposure and details a treatment sequence: purge with Epsom salts tea, hot fomentations, gentle kneading, bicarbonate infusion, frequent gentle milking, and later soothing salves to prevent suppuration or loss.
Farmers Should Aim to Improve Breeds and Sell Unprofitable Fowls
A Manchester Mirror attributed article urges farmers to value breed purity in poultry. It argues crossbreeding harms stock, advocates using a re-bred male to lift quality by about 30 percent, and stresses systematic breeding balancing fancier standards with farm practicality.

Sell Older Hens Before Molting To Save Feed
Farmers are advised to market two year old hens past their prime rather than keep them for breeders or laying stock. Molting reduces laying, and selling now saves feed for two to three months while feathers regrow. The note adds that distant markets may limit sales, and on free-range farms some hens fatten later in fall. (Fannie Field, Prairie Farmer)

Timely Hints on Tomato Culture at Michigan College
A Michigan Agricultural College experiment shows a continuous rack system along rows improves tomato growth. Stakes, boards, and edgings form a rack that lifts plants, reduces tying, and enhances air circulation. Ripening is more even, with less rot, though tomato rot appeared as small spotty discoloration near the apex in some fruit.

Honey and tanning methods as discussed in farm periodicals
The article argues extracted honey is rising in favor due to low risk of adulteration. It explains that feeding sugar to bees does not produce honey and that adulteration hurts beekeeping. It covers comb versus extracted honey, wax costs, granulation, storage, and varieties. It then shifts to tanning processes, leather making, and related methods, noting risks of unsafe recipes and differences among tanning techniques.

Green manuring adds atmospheric plant food from legume roots
Dr Goessman notes green manuring uses atmospheric plant food rather than minerals. Clover and other legumes pull nutrients from the air, extend roots deep into soil, and bring subsoil food to the surface for future crops. He urges rotating crops every few years and occasional weed-stirring to improve soil.
