A Kansas Farmer urges proper barn ventilation to keep cattle healthy and productive. He warns against overtight housing that causes drafts and temperature shocks, emphasizing a balanced system that removes odors while supplying clean air. Proper ventilation reduces stress and supports milk and meat quality.
A detailed description of a dairy barn ventilation system emphasizes humane design. It outlines a pir chute from the roof to near the floor, bidirectional airflow with warm air rising, and outside weather boarding with adjustable openings and sliding doors. The plan seeks to reduce foul odors and drafts while allowing airflow during blizzards.
Temperature guidance for dairy work notes bacteria struggle in cold but thrive in heat. Keeping milk below 40 degrees limits bacterial growth. Emphasizes the need for a proper thermome ter and a quality thermometer worth about 26 cents.
A Nebraska inventor introduces a corn shelling device that feeds grain into a hopper and uses a series of scrapers to separate kernels from ears. One worker can replace many hands, as kernels drop to a chute and into bags while cobs are ejected, promising to lighten farm labor previously done by hand.
Grain should be cut in the dough stage to avoid losses. Milk stage leaves weight behind, full hair causes handling loss. Cut with self-binder, make small sheaves, twelve per shock, cure straw, then haul in quickly before rain. Covering crop reduces moisture, field tilled twice with a two horse cultivator to bring weed seeds to surface and prevent crusting.
Western farms stack hay in large quantities with a day labor system. A modern stacker, aided by a sweep rake, speeds the process by delivering 1000 pound loads onto the pile while a horse pulls the stacker. With two sweep rakes and one main rake, men can stack about two tons per day.
The advice discusses mowing frequency and lawn care in a dry season. It emphasizes not mowing too often to prevent evaporation losses, keeping the lawn well kept, and sharpening mower blades. It mentions preparing the mower and applying proper dressings for best results.
The Orange Judd Farm describes a trap nest design where a hen steps onto a running board, depresses a support, releasing a weighted end that drops a section and tips the entrance open. The mechanism relies on the weight shift to trigger the nest entry.
A gar den note warns the nest is closed and the hen moved. It urges frequent cultivation during wet weather to curb weeds and preserve soil moisture. It cautions that neglect will keep soil from hardening and may disturb future harvests and orchard work.
