Properly Prepared Poultry for Market
North Dakota Agricultural College poultry specialist O A Barton advises buyers to finish poultry in close quarters with a wet mash of pancake batter for ten days to two weeks to improve market quality and price. He recommends a fattening ration of ground feed with milk or meat scraps, fed three times daily for ten to fifteen minutes. Turkeys require extended growing and access to sour milk and dry mash for better market readiness.

Conditions for Storing Roots in Winter
The three essential storage conditions are good ventilation, freedom from damp, and a temperature just above freezing. A cool cellar is ideal, outside pits can work, and barn bins with stable temperature are usable. Beets provide 20 to 30 pounds per day for dairy cows but are low in protein, so add higher protein feeds like alfalfa or clover. if hay quality is poor, increase concentrates such as bran or old meal.
Correct Proportion of Alfalfa for Feeding Pigs
Guidance on alfalfa in pig rations states ground alfalfa should not exceed five percent of the ration. Hay is best but pigs may reject it. when needed, ground alfalfa should be mixed with feed and pigs allowed to self-balance using a self-feeder.
Drain Silo Debate Divides Dairy Experts
There is a strong disagreement among dairy experts over silo floors and drains. Some say concrete floors with drains are advantageous, while others report satisfactory service without them. If the soil allows absorption, a hole in the floor may suffice as a drain.
Sparrow Blamed for Spreading New Bird Disease
A new indictable count links the English sparrow to spreading a parasite that forms tumor like growths on the skin of chickens and turkeys. University of Minnesota researchers examined infested birds near Lake Minnetonka and Ottertail county noting tumors near the vent and on the body, likely reducing poultry market value. The parasite has long existed in Europe and in wild birds in the U S but not previously on poultry.

Keep Cabbage in Cellar at Proper Temperature
Cabbage stores best at a temperature slightly above freezing from 38 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Many cellars are too warm for cabbage, and when storing large amounts the outside pit is best. In the cellar, bury the heads in boxes of sand for preservation. Store only solid heads, pulled when they mature but not when very large. Late varieties store better than others.
Farm advisory on feeding and storage efficiency
Farmers are urged to push pallet handling for heavy egg production and keep machinery in the shed for next year. The text cites Lowell on new duties, highlights soybeans as a strong protein source, warns against scrub trees, and promotes silage as a profitable, cost-saving feed option with a potential 100 percent payback in the first year amid rising competition for economical feeding.
