The article argues against clipping a horse's legs during winter, noting the long coat protects legs from wet and dirt.

It advises trimming only minimal heel hair and preserving health, especially for prone horses, while emphasizing the broader point that appearance should not trump welfare. It also covers salt management and roosting ideas for poultry, plus dairy and sheep feeding notes from a periodical.

Farm Notes on Breeding, Wound Care and Feed Practices
The notes advise record keeping for cow breeding to predict calving, dry cows six weeks pre calving, a wound cleansing with hot tallow or lard as a pain reducing guideline, and Ferguson’s hog diet recipe of oats 50 percent, barley 20 percent, shorts 30 percent, offal meal 40 percent. They urge land use: hogs for fertile soil, sheep on worn ground, and a varied feed for sows including bran and roots. Corn is fattening but overfed, winter should include greens, and breeding and feeding animals require ample exercise.
