Ohio State University research shows cows freshening in fall tend to produce more milk and have steadier records. C. L. Blackman of the animal husbandry department notes uniform feeding during peak milking and extra pasture late in lactation boost milk flow. Dry cows should gain weight and be housed early to ensure good flesh at freshening.

Dairy Cow Profit Depends on High Milk Output
Professor J H Fuller of the University of New Hampshire says a dairy cow must produce at least 7 500 pounds of milk per year to cover expenses. He notes this is about 3 000 pounds above the U S average and suggests ten cows per full time worker, with up to fifteen cows enabling milking machines and use of litter carriers and drinking cups to minimize labor costs.

Faulty Spark Plugs Cause Engine Misses at Speed

Caddo of Automobile Notes
Reckless drivers who fail to observe the Stop sign head toward a Go funeral. Better to ride slow in an auto than fast in an ambulance. In San Antonio Texas a state union terminal for bus lines will be erected at a cost of 300000 dollars. Front wheel bearings benefit greatly from semiannual baths with a stiff brush and casoline cleaning twice a year.
