An expert guide stresses selecting a pure bred sire with proven milk output and maintaining meticulous records of each cow’s milk yield and butter fat. It recommends monthly milk testing via composite samples and argues records reveal cows that do not pay for their feed, guiding culling decisions.
Advice to farmers recommends allowing farm horses to go without shoes for two to three months each year to promote hoof health and overall welfare. The guidance stresses applying practical care and monitoring during the shoe-free intervals.
The text discusses horse care and training, noting that gentle treatment yields lasting respect while rough handling harms the animal. It warns against beating horses for tasks they cannot perform and describes horses enjoying rest after work, with lines about rolling and comfort in a yard or straw stack.
A farmer notes quiet conditions in the breeding pen reduce piglet danger. A well fed sow is calmer and less restless, and careful nest bedding prevents pigs from becoming entangled in straw as the litter is born.

A farmer learns of a practical stack cover idea using a heavy wire rolled into the efize. The tip promises to help save money before summer, appealing to industrious growers seeking simple, inexpensive protection for stacks on the farm.
The article describes assembling a roof from longer wire ends forming loops and braces, punching holes near a wire stiffener, nailing 1 by 4 inch cross pieces, bending wire ends to secure, placing sheets on a stack, and wiring edges to the stack. It notes using ridge and side bracing with 2 by 4 and 1 by 4 inch pieces, wiring the roof to the ridgepole, and sealing joints with heavy wire to keep water out, with cost advantages and suggestions for local fabrication if a roofing company does not supply a kit.
Guidance for feeding alfalfa suggests not cutting when dew or rain is on the forage. Cut on bright days and harvest enough for two to three days. Allow dew to dry, spread the cut material, let it dry until late afternoon, then form small heaps and cover them.
