The article discusses ensilage benefits for milking cows and heifers, drainage to improve root oxygen and soil depth, and methods to extend cream freshness with borax and saltpeter. It also covers indoor work on stormy days, fall and spring fertilization strategies, and spreading manure to enrich soil broadly for healthy crop growth.
Farmers favor husking corn in the field and pasturing stalks through winter to protect land. Benefits include richer manure, better feed efficiency, and ground rest as frost works the soil, making it light and porous. Regular housing or paddock feeding improves stock health and prevents overgrazing, with water and litter aiding management.
The best method is to spread manure on the surface as soon as possible when the ground is dry. Weather should include frequent showers but soil not saturated. Soluble ingredients improve in ten to fifteen days as rain washes them in, while insoluble matter is covered by plowing.
