Heifer Calves Deserve Attention of Dairymen
The calf should receive whole milk from its dam for a week, then from the herd for two to three weeks. Begin grain and hay by the third week to prevent loss of fat when switching to skim milk. If skim milk is unavailable, use powdered buttermilk diluted with nine parts water. Add whole ants, cracked corn, and bran as grain. Coarse alfalfa hay is preferred. provide a darkened shed for protection.
Egg Crop Shortened by Overheated Poultry Houses
Cut egg production due to overheated poultry houses. Rear ventilators, open doors and windows. Summer drafts do not injure hens. Maintain production with grain, green feed like alfalfa pasture, chopped Sudan grass or rape, and a mash moistened with water or milk.
Clover and Clover Timothy Mix Boosts Hay Production
A. W. Blair of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station cites three reasons to plant clover with timothy for the next hay crop. The mixture enriches soil nitrogen, increases yield, and raises protein value. Over two years, timothy and clover plots outyielded timothy alone by about a ton per acre, with substantial nitrogen gains and a second cutting in 1921.

Delays in harvesting and packing cut storage time drastically, especially for peaches pears and early apples in hot weather. Ensure packing tables sizing machines picking bags and other supplies are ready and roads are maintained to prevent bruising during transport. Hire dependable pickers and stock containers nails stencils and other essentials as part of rainy day prep.

Cream Making Tips for Hot Weather
In hot weather delivery is tough but clean cans and buckets, plus cold storage, keep cream in good condition. A good cellar, running water, or a cooling tank helps maintain freshness. Regular delivery reduces sourness and high quality cream earns premium prices for first-grade cream.
Farm Notes on Cats Crops and Seed Cranks
Farmers hear that cats coexist with rats while Timothy earns trust and cleverness gains appeal. Set aside alfalfa for hens, consider Junior calf club as a potential vocation, and compare yields between 40 and 60 bushels. Acid phosphate and limestone boosted alfalfa by 4,500 pounds 1915 to 1920. Home grown seed works best if adapted. use a community seed crank.
