The article argues against fattening young dairy calves and urges liberal feeding of hay fodder and silage to develop digestive capacity. It emphasizes bulky rations over concentrates, likening growth to training a horse on a track, with thrifty, not fat, yearlings pictured as proper nursing for future milk production.
Advice on feeding poultry recommends always providing grit and oyster shells to chickens whether they roam freely or are kept confined. Emphasizes ongoing availability to support digestion and shell quality.

About four million acres are annually sown to clover and timothy mixes with yields near 1.3 tons per acre dry hay.
