United States Department of Agriculture data show Holstein cows increasing in size and production. An expert report notes heavier cows yield more milk, with higher feed efficiency contributing to greater net profits for the breed despite rising maintenance costs.
A historical note explains feed needs for Holstein cows. It details a 1400 pound cow producing 46 pounds of milk and outlines rough grain and silage requirements. It discusses balancing forage and grain, and notes adjustments when milk output changes or feed quality varies.
A report discusses manure buildup on dairy farms and its health risks. It cites Prof. W R Dah of Ontario agriculture noting that filthy barns and yards foster disease germs, complicating sanitation as herd sizes grow and prompting calls for improved manure management practices.
The notice discusses culling low quality dairy cattle to reduce costs. It argues culling is cheaper than maintaining poor cows and that dairy cattle prices and calf rearing remain favorable. It emphasizes selling weak cows rather than productive ones to improve herd efficiency.
The article warns that dirty damp straw used as scratching litter can harm flocks, causing mold and disease, while proper bright clean straw aids feeding, absorption, and comfort. It stresses discretion in straw quality, noting chickens’ delicate respiratory system with multiple air sacs and lungs.
Guidance for poultry keepers on optimizing egg production through balanced rations. In spring and summer hens self regulate with green feed gravel and insects. in winter confinement requires straw litter feed scatter, shells, lime, and separate hoppers. Protein from tankage or milk, warm noon mash in late fall boosts production.
A health note explains that very thin eggshells result from insufficient materials or birds unable to use them. Adding cod liver oil or a mineral mix can improve shell quality. Sunlight boosts digestion and feed efficiency, but winter confinement reduces sun exposure. Cod liver oil is fed at two pounds per 100 pounds of mash.
When hens are not laying ask if housing is proper and pallets are matured and up to standard weight. Check for external or internal parasites and ensure a protein rich ration to restore laying in a suitable manner.
A practical winter feeding schedule for farm poultry: give small grains like wheat oats and barley in the morning, provide green sprouts or another light grain feed at mid morning, offer hot mash at noon, and deliver a heavy shelled corn feed in late afternoon. Avoid overfeeding small grain to ensure mash is consumed from hoppers throughout the day.
Agricultural expert E J Maynard of the Colorado experiment station notes wheat can substitute for corn when prices are unfavorable, delivering nearly the same gains in fattening cattle and pigs with protein supplementation. Rolling, grinding, and mixing with other grains improve value. avoid overloading cattle on wheat.
W B Morris of the University farm in St Paul advises young ewes in good flesh can winter cheaply on legume hay. If silage is available add up to two pounds daily. without silage use roots. Feed grain only before lambing, then 0.5 to 1 pound daily two to three weeks prior, oats recommended. Guard against fleece chaff from straw bedding and careless feeding.
J. P. Willman of the New York State College of Agriculture urges large, vigorous fall pigs. They should not be weaned until eight to ten weeks, with grain-creep feeding to reduce flesh loss. Ensure dry, well ventilated quarters, warm water for slop, and worm and lice control.
Dr K W Stouder of town State college says hog flu resembles human colds and should be treated similarly. Dry beds and good shelter in fall and early winter help prevent the illness, while drafty wet floors and cold floors are chief causes.
A Hunter brother who set a flying endurance mark says success needs knowledge and experience. The piece notes many record chasers like Billy Johanson and recalls Billy’s father recounting how the rider was hospitalized eight times in two months after attempting a new motorcycle record.
The Jacobi Church organ in Hamburg restored and rededicated with a Bach concert. The instrument, the only surviving organ once played by Johann Sebastian Bach, drew him to apply for the organist post in 1720, though another candidate won the position.
