Improving Live Stock Breeding Insights from USDA Reports
The United States Department of Agriculture summarizes farmer observations on stock breeding through a questionnaire. Key points stress choosing a good sire to avoid losses, purebreds yielding better meat per feed, breeder follow ups with buyers, prioritizing individuals over pedigrees, and the high utility value of purebred livestock for production and market prospects.
How to Get Most Value From a Good Male Bird
A poultry expert from Kansas State argues the male bird governs flock quality. Select a head male with family records of high egg production, trap nesting, and strong sisters. Keep one good male for every ten to fifteen hens to lift overall progeny quality.

Geese Thrive on Grass Pastures and Clover Sod
Geese will thrive on most pasture grasses that cows eat. An orchard in clover sod and meadows of red clover mixed with lalke make good pasture for geese. Low land pasture is likely naturally seeded with grasses that geese thrive on.
Cure for Poultry and Swine Tuberculosis Proven
A Michigan farm case shows tuberculous hogs and infected poultry. After isolating and destroying the flock, restocking with healthy chicks and hogs led to postmortem tests of 27 hogs showing no infection. The report, prepared by Michigan Agricultural College with the U S Department of Agriculture, links poultry and swine tuberculosis and notes improved control through proper disposal and sanitation.

New Bee Louse Found in Carroll County Maryland
A new pest Brattacocca Nitzch called the bee louse has been found in Carroll County Maryland and in a few other U S locations. Originating from Europe with queen bees it weakens colonies by feeding on honey and tormenting the queen. It lives on workers and more on queens, rarely on drones, and is not a true parasite. The USDA Circular 884 by I E Phillips describes its distribution habits and control methods and may be obtained while supply lasts by writing to Washington.

Rotation Will Cut Loss Due to Soil Erosion
Prof Miller of Missouri outlines soil erosion rates at a joint Kansas Crop Improvement meeting. He reports that on an 8 percent slope, continuous corn would erase 7 inches of topsoil in 180 years, continuous wheat 160 years, and a three crop rotation 350 years, with permanent pasture requiring 4,400 years.

Farmers Notes on Fertility and Efficiency in the Field
Greens in the garden outperform monetary gains from pork. It costs more to skip good machinery than to buy it. Feed the soil and it will feed you. Weed control is costly both in price and value losses. Farmers plan for insect and disease battles this summer. An indoor pump reduces outdoor exercise, but many farmers would not skip it. Scrub cattle ruin profits more than a clumsy bull in the yard. Manure hauled directly to fields saves 53 cents per ton at the agricultural experiment station bull. Home butchering and canning may save more than feeding cheaply. Lime and phosphorus in the form of ground limestone and acid phosphate improve mineral intake for dairy cows and boost pasture with clover and alfalfa.

Control Lice and Mites During Summer Weather
Summer heat creates favorable conditions for lice and mites on poultry. Lice stay on the bird while mites inhabit roost undersides and crevices. detection relies on odor and conditions. Thorough cleaning, spraying, and treating roosts with a preservative or creosote helps control mites. sodium fluoride or a spray from tractor or auto crankcase diluted in kerosene offers economical solutions.
Alfalfa Seed Quality Versus Price Examined
Analysis by Anna M. White of Colorado State Seed Laboratory shows cheap seed advertised at 7 to 9 per bushel hides poor value. A six pound sample priced at 1.25 had 45.4 percent pure live seed, 49 percent germination, 12 percent hard seed, and only 6 percent live seed. Living seed cost 21 cents per pound yields 2.56 dollars per bushel. The lot included 26 000 weed seeds with 577 dodilia.

Control of Animal Parasites Studied
The United States Department of Agriculture Bureau of Animal Industry tested methods to treat horses for biting and sucking lice. Dippping or spraying with coal tar creosote solutions or arsenical dip gave the best results. Gas concentrations proved ineffective for sarcoptic mange. Research aims include an index catalogue of global parasite literature for domestic animals and animals.

Farm Facts: seed, weather, and beef cattle figures
A partial farming note emphasizes using better seed and controlled sowing, warns against poor seed and infested reed, and highlights New York's 1 170 beef cattle census. It stresses cooperation with weather, starting seed under glass, transplanting, and testing germination as a safer bet than guesswork.
