A U S Department of Agriculture bulletin urges swatting flies to curb disease spread. It describes how manure piles nurture maggots, how flies carry bacteria on their bodies and contaminate milk utensils, and how inspectors educate dairymen and consumers about keeping breeding sites clear and destroying flies.
H R Wascelles of the Colorado State Dairy Commission outlines four main causes of sour or unfit milk: physical cow conditions, flavors from cow diet, odors absorbed during production, and bacterial growth in kept milk. Controlling these factors saves money for both milk and cream producers by preserving quality and enabling higher prices for butter and dairy products.
The text covers dairy calf care focusing on early life susceptibility, feeding from the dam's milk at about 106 degrees Fahrenheit, and guidance on limiting the calf’s milk replacer to no more than one-eighth of the calf’s weight for the first six weeks. It notes cream marketing as profitable and lists four main dairy breeds Ayrshire Holstein Guernsey and Jersey comprising 80 percent of registered dairy cattle.
The USDA reports no reliable link between egg size shape or weight and the chick’s sex. Research shows no practical method to choose hatching eggs by sex, though egg production period may slightly affect female to male ratios.
Grain needs for a mature bull depend on his size and workload. With 12 to 15 pounds of hay and some silage, grain may be unnecessary. some farmers supplement with grain and reduce silage. Silage is debated. in small amounts up to 15 pounds poses little paunch risk but may be omitted if other feeds are adequate. Typical grain is four to eight pounds daily, using a mix of corn meal three parts, ground oats three parts, wheat bran three parts, and allmeal one part, guiding to feeding a bull like a lactating cow in full milk.
The article argues that continued use of commercial fertilizer over years boosts yields. It notes the apparent need for fertilizer to sustain crops, not from fertilizer harm but from crops removing more nutrients than the fertilizer supplies. Proper use with crop rotation and returning manure prevents soil depletion and preserves yields.
Minnesota experiment station reports sweet clover hay can cause serious trouble in cattle when fed in large amounts. Two heifers died after a month on the hay, apparently from internal bleeding. When mixed with other roughages the feed appears safe, and pasture is generally safe aside from occasional bloating similar to clover and alfalfa.
Krum of the Colorado Agricultural College Extension Service advises poultry feeders to monitor mash and grain ratios rather than fixed figures. He notes seasonal adjustments, warns against routine wet mash, and suggests timing and amounts for effective moult control and steady production.
New Brunswick State College of Agriculture reports experiments showing direct outdoor sunlight markedly increases chick weight and prevents leg weakness. Chicks under glass gained less and showed leg weakness, while sunlit groups thrived. cod liver oil aided growth but sunlight remained crucial. A combination of sunlight and oil yielded the highest average weight.
Alfalfa growers are urged to choose seed carefully. Wisconsin agricultural expert L F Graber notes winter-killing varies by strain and region, with Grimm and Kossack types offering better resilience and seed profits, while in areas with mild winters common strains may suffice. Seed crops depend on dry blossom seasons and field inspections.
Officials certify purity for vast seed lots sold through dealers and seed companies. Graber highlights winter-hardy strains from South Dakota, Montana, and Kansas as best performing in resistance to winter killing.
Scientists note that four of five hail storms occur during the day and those daytime events tend to be the most intense and damaging, a pattern observed across different parts of the country.
Tasman sighted New Zealand in December 1642. Captain Cook charted regions in 1769 1778 and 1777. In 1914 Rav Samuel Marsden founded a Bay of Islands mission. A British resident was named in 1888.
Care of gems as pearls contain carbonate of lime. vinegar and acids attack the surface. Short exposure to hot water can ruin opals by dulling their fire or causing cracks. Soap is harmful to opals and should be avoided.
Maryland Bulletin 244 reports a crushing test on eggs from hens fed oyster shell and limestone. No appreciable difference in shell strength or thickness. Limestone consumption per bird was lower, yet eggs produced more in the limestone group, indicating limestone can safely supply sole egg shell material.
During summer and early fall turkeys have feed on farms. About October 1 begin fattening with starter feed then increase gradually. The marketing season runs from mid November to late December.
Use sodium fluoride or blue ointment to rid poultry of lice. For sodium fluoride, one pound treats each hundred hens with a pinch rubbed into body parts. Blue ointment is applied similarly and rubbed into the skin, mixed with equal parts lard into pieces the size of a small garden pen. Keep away from children as it is poisonous.
Famous ropers will gather for a nine day Chicago Roundup and World's Championship Rodeo starting August 15 under the Chicago Association of Commerce. Champions have pledged to attend to vie for awards and the world title directed by Tex Austin. Experts will showcase precise looping on fast steer or calf, with trained roping ponies enabling spectacular feats.
Two men in London argued about a novelist. One praises her as a wonderful writer while the other questions her evident lack of knowledge of life, a remark noted by the Boston Transcript.
The New Orleans Times Picayune cites a boast by a manufacturer claiming a car can be assembled in seven minutes, then notes a counter image of a driver and a tree taking it apart in two seconds, labeling it a humorous contrast.
