Dean Mumford of the Missouri College of Agriculture argues silage cuts summer costs versus blue-grass pasture, claiming one acre yields 12.5 to 20 tons of silage and cows plus calves can be carried on as little as half an acre of silage. He notes pasture land costs about 100 dollars per acre and details dairy cow conformation such as broad forehead, large udder, and stout chest, indicating good milk production.

METHOD FOR COOLING CREAM BY PROF. C LARSEN
Cool the cream immediately after separation by placing the can in fresh cold water. Use stock water through the cooler before it reaches the main tank. This cools year round and prevents winter freezing. Keep the cover loose to vent odors and keep dust out. Do not mix warm skimmed cream with cold cream until thoroughly cooled to avoid germ growth and spoilage.

Frozen fish safe says experts urge more consumption
Washington reports that Department of Agriculture investigations show no greater risk of ptomaine poisoning in frozen fish than in meat. Properly frozen and iced fish remain good one to one and a half years, with a thin ice glaze sealing in moisture. Increasing consistent consumption could lower prices and reduce waste by spreading demand beyond Fridays.
