Profits in Dairying at Iowa Agricultural College
A report from the Iowa State Agricultural College notes the dairy herd at the station earned an average net profit of nearly $50 per cow in 1910 11 after $65 72 feed costs. In 1905 09 maintenance averaged $41 05, about $25 less, yet the herd yielded the mentioned profit. The article argues station herds face production economy challenges and rely on purchased concentrates rather than on-farm forage.

Land Rulings Clarify Access and Appeal Rights
The ruling states that applying to enter lands not subject to withdrawal yields no vested rights. An appeal only tests the correctness of the action. Removal of rejection during appeal does not grant special consideration against intervening rights after lands become subject to disposition.
Rights of Contestants After Homestead Cancellation
The fragment states that contesting and cancelling a homestead entry grants a right against others to make entry under the law. Within thirty days of cancellation a contestant filing an entry application gains statutory benefits. A preference entrant must meet the same legal conditions as any applicant active on the filing date, regardless of prior preferential rights.
Commutation Proof Rules for 14 Month Residency
The final proof for commutation requires 14 months of residence immediately before filing and continuous personal presence on the land. Intermittent stays of one to two weeks at two to three month intervals do not qualify. The rule applies to homestead entries to establish the required continuous occupation.
