A Wallace's Farmer correspondent argues that keeping and testing milk records, though once seen as laborious, becomes efficient. Regular month end sampling and arithmetic reveal true fat content and month production, helping identify and remove unprofitable cows. Enhanced cleaning of utensils with washing powder and proper drying methods prevents contaminated milk and disease spread.
The article advises mixing pulverised bonemeal with brand mash or making a lick with bonemeal, salt, and a binder. Use reliable bonemeal to avoid disease and consider boiling the bonemeal before use as added precaution.
A recommendation from an Agricultural Bureau expert advises large estate owners to mate older merino ewes with long wool rams. The aim is to produce first cross wethers for a ready fat market and to keep breeders returning to cross-breeding. The plan could stabilize export mutton trade if adopted in Riverina and similar regions.
