A fragment discusses sheep care and breeding practices. It notes better prices for larger sheep, benefits of good feeding, and cautions about handling causing sores. It mentions salt boxes in sheep quarters and the impact of feeding on wool quality.
A Kirn and Kireside article by W. Bolles compares two hog operations, one raising about 125 pigs a year with 600 head by breeding 100 gilts, noting poor results in cold wet weather and better outcomes when conditions improve. The breeder emphasizes managing forty sows, feeding shorts as slop on alfalfa pasture, and profit from purebred Berkhire stock for crossbreeding advantages.
Farmers discussed hog rearing, grain feeding, and timing for fattening hogs to maximize profit. A method for weighing milk was described to gauge feed value, asserting it saves labor and reduces costs. An old distemper remedy using sugar and potash was shared, with instructions for administration to livestock.
Paul Logan from Gallepa of Agriculture Ohio State University notes orchards need organic matter to improve soil texture. Cover crops such as rye, millet, clover, vetch, and soybeans can reduce erosion, improve soil structure, and enhance tree health in hilly regions and grape areas of the north.
A Ramsewer Ohio State University report explains how a horse's pull depends on weight, conformation, temperament, footing, shoeing, hitching, and the way it is hitched. It notes typical pulls at walking gait, plowing forces, and how grade affects pulling power, with examples for 1 000 pounds and various slopes.
Experiments at the Allison Experiment Station indicate silage can be profitably used in steer fattening but requires balancing feeds to maximize returns. A ton of silage equals about half a ton of clover hay in value, with corn silage offering significantly higher dry matter value than back corn. Adding clover hay improves profitability, while silage-only roughage stalls after about six days.
