A study of Vermont experiment herd shows well balanced udders yield more milk and butter than poorly balanced ones. Ayrshire experts stress a large square udder with four equal quarters and four well spaced teats as the ideal, with strong milk veins indicating healthy blood supply to the udder.
A West Virginia experiment station study shows skim milk boosts laying hen production. Over 122 days twenty two hens fed skim milk laid 1 244 eggs versus 996 for mash moistened with water. In another test sixty hens produced 862 eggs in 37 days with skim milk versus 632 without. Ontario farm tests find whey and skim milk best when fattening chickens, with sour skim milk giving uniform products and aiding digestion.
The article notes a calf under a year old winning the championship in the international livestock show steer class, reflecting a shift toward young beef stock. It cites Aberdeen Angus and Scotch beef traditions, with breeder commentary praising early maturation and profitability of young cattle.
A guide on selecting healthy young stock for pigeon lofts. Emphasizes avoiding undersized hens, emphasizes grit, proper diet of wheat and peas, and reducing fat in breeders. Warns against inbreeding and mentions market impacts of squab weight and color, plus disease control and care practices.
Tom Awtry, a shingle blocker's fiancé Tilly Martin, tempt fate with a prank by the stream. After a frightful struggle, Tom betrays trust, falls ill from overwork, and is forgiven as a vow for a new cabin returns their hope.
A compact note contrasts dairy and beef cows noting a dairy cow has a place for an udder while beef cattle lack this feature due to their large hind quarters. The observation is concise and focused on anatomical differences.
The text describes liquid lice killers for poultry using crude naphthalene flakes dissolved in kerosene as a lice paint and a coal tar disinfecting liquid mixed with kerosene. Apply in the forenoon so the solution dries in woodwork before roosting.
A fat broiler is a rarity and the best approach is to keep chicks plump. When nearly market size, give free fattening feed such as corn in various forms. Ground corn digest better than whole or cracked, and a moistened mash of two thirds cornmeal and one third bran is effective. Cooked potatoes and milk with some sugar hasten fattening.
When a few hens show advanced liver trouble signs others in the flock may be in early stages. Provide grass runs or ample green food, limit corn, and ensure exercise. In confinement feed grain in litter and start with sparing rations, but do not reduce too long or birds weaken.
The passage explains feather structure detailing the shaft as the stem filled with pith that bears barbs, the barbs as aide branches, shafting as light or dark shafting of the plumed portion, and the web as the flat plumed area made of barbs on both sides of the shaft.
Rumors point to Worcester Massachusetts becoming a hub for Holstein cattle sales. C W Wood, a major breeder, cites 1500 Holsteins within fifty miles and backs Worcester as a central dealing point. J B Marcon, another breeder, also supports Worcester as the ideal site to spur livestock sales and lift farmers toward better competition.
A historical note describes using a seven inch piece of sole leather cut diamond shaped with a two and a half inch center to cushion a bit. The saddler is instructed to stitch it tight around a common bar bit to calm a young horse that thrashes its tongue.
Instructions for treating roup in poultry prescribe a water kerosene oil mix to rinse the head, segregate coughing birds, add kerosene to drinking water, and disinfect by cleaning pens and whitewashing to stop new cases.
