Limestone substitutes for alfalfa hay boost cattle gains
Kansas agricultural experiment station tests found powdered limestone as a substitute for alfalfa hay in fattening cattle. Substituting one tenth of a pound of ground limestone for two pounds of alfalfa produced slightly larger average daily gains and higher profits per head, when rations included corn, cottonseed meal and silage. Silage may be satisfactorily supplemented with powdered limestone as a substitute for alfalfa hay.

Feeding Tests Favor Barley and Corn Over Oats in Michigan Calves

Barley and corn groups cost per 100 pounds of gain were $9 and $9.09 respectively versus $9.65 for oats. No grinding charges were applied, implying higher profit for the corn-fed group if grinding had been charged.

Treatment for Garget in Dairy Cattle Practices
Advice from American Agriculturist on handling garget in cows. Remove diseased animals to prevent spread, milk healthy animals first, milk the affected quarter last, and dispose of milking utensils properly. Massage injured quarters with compresses or hot water, and milk the affected quarter frequently. Reduce feed, possibly skip grain for a day or two, and give a laxative such as epsom salts.
