The mansion, linked to Gen von Bischofswerder and King Frederick William II lore, passes from Ravene to a British merchant, with the fate of Count Grisbenow’s Berlin palace also looming at auction amid wartime inflation.

Inferior Bulls as Herd Sires Baffle Dairymen
Inferior bulls, often culled early, are being kept as herd sires after rescue by truck drivers. This practice benefits stockyard reclaims and drivers but harms dairy operations.

Feeding value of oat and wheat sheaves for livestock
Grain sheaf hay and oat sheaves nearly match in feeding value when mixed in equal parts by weight. Oat sheaves alone fail as a dairy cow ration. Wheat sheaves may be slightly more nutritious. Horses tolerate oat or wheat sheaves when not in hard work. Cows need extra grain while milking. A mix of barley oats wheat wheat bran and oilmeal is very satisfactory.

Soil Zone Effects on Corn Fertilization at Ohio Station
Studies at the Ohio experiment station show corn yield and stand vary by soil zone where fertilizer is placed. Direct contact with seed proves most damaging, with damage increasing with fertilizer amount and rainfall. Experiments note 400 pounds acre of 4324 in 4 by 8 inch rectangles reduced corn stand 33 percent in 1930 and 45 percent in 1981, while a band 4 by 8 inches placed 1/2 inch above seed yielded 62 percent in 1930 and 70 percent in 1831, and split bands 2 by 1/2 inch above seed gave 90 percent in 1980 and perfect stand in 1931.

Care of Ewes for Strong Lambs in Feeding Tips

Turnips supplement breeding ewes at three pounds per head daily, plus ample hay. Salt should be available. well balanced rations high in legume hay typically meet calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals.
Farmers Favor Silage in Nebraska Silo Survey
Ninety nine of one hundred Nebraska farmers who built trench silos last year say they were worthwhile, a Nebraska College of Agriculture survey reports. Ninety five of the hundred will use silos again, crops being poor. eighty two would use them if crops improve. Ninety eight percent say silage is much better feed than dry corn fodder. Sixty two fed it with alfalfa, twenty supplemented with cottonseed cake, and twenty fed it with cat straw or other straw.
