Farm Stock Tanks Slope and Sizing Guidelines
The paper advises on building farm stock tanks with sloping sides to prevent wallowing and make cleaning easier. It recommends a 25 by 25 yard 6 foot deep tank with four to one batter, a dammed watercourse, a small receiving hole, and a wooden duct for water transfer. Ploughing should avoid trampling, with perpendicular, then crosswise runs and careful side walls to prevent leakage and injury to stock.

Trees as windbreaks and shade for settlers
The Agricultural Department urges settlers to protect timber in early farming, ring-barking only where needed, and maintain clumps of red gum, satin gum, York gum or other trees. Proper windbreaks and shade boost stock welfare, reduce weather stress, and sustain carrying capacity.
