An Illinois experiment led by Prof. St St Snapp fed three year old steers a full ration with blue grass pasture or other roughages plus silage. Pasture feeding yielded lower gains but much lower feed costs and less labor, and blue grass outperformed other feeds despite market declines. Sweet clover showed mixed results, profitable as roughage but variable across season.

The United States Department of Agriculture states that treating fowls with diphtheria is time consuming and rarely cost effective.

Seventy two counties finished testing at about 84 cents per head, excluding indemnity. Eighty one counties completed single testing, up from fifty. Seventeen counties in Indiana Tennessee Michigan and North Carolina approved as modified Accredited areas allow cattle movement with no test for three years to states accepting these cattle.
Indiana roads are built to speed travel year round but should not be turned into speedways. John D. Williams, director of the state highway commission, notes winter readiness and drainage are key.

Rearing advice notes ordinary calf diarrhea stems from indigestion. Overfeeding milk or fatty milk increases risk. Recommend reducing feed and offering smaller, multiple daily drinks. Suggest two ounces of castor oil to cleanse bowels.
Female geese are kept until eight to ten years old or as long as they lay well. Males are rarely kept after six to seven years. Breeding stock favors ganders that breed long term, with yearling ganders used occasionally. Best policy is to wait until both sexes are three to five years old.
The article advises protecting late moulters from exposure during cold weather. It recommends confinement on windy days and a well balanced station to foster rapid feather growth. Late moulters are noted as the best layers and costly to maintain.
