Weeds Harm Pastures Says USDA Expert
The United States Department of Agriculture urges farmers to manage pastures to reduce weeds. Mowing, cutting, grubing, or pulling tall-growing weeds like wild carrot and ragweed is advised, while low growing weeds may require phosphate fertilizer to invite white clover and boost soil nutrients. Some poisonous weeds such as water hemlock and white snakeroot should be removed, and bushy sprouts like buck brush hawthorn sassafras and persimmon can be destroyed by cutting.

Rape Pasture Spotlighted as Best Hog and Sheep Pasture
State college farm crops department members say rape sown alone is the best annual pasture for hogs and the best for sheep when paired with oats. One acre yields pasture for 0 to 25 spring pigs, costs 25 to 30 cents, and seed is plentiful. Rape suits nearly every farm in the state except milk cows.

Feeding Idle Horses Says Prairie Farmer
Idle horses need no grain and can stay in good condition on about half a pound of hay daily per 100 pounds of body weight. For light work two to four hours daily, feed a half to three fourths pound grain and 14 to 4 pounds of hay per 100 pounds. For heavy work one to 1 1/2 pounds grain and a pound of hay per 100 pounds. Excessive hay feeding is unnecessary.
