A. L. Harvey of the University of Minnesota animal husbandry division says farm power via horses will be cheaper this year. With low prices for corn oats and hay and horses worth less than last year, farmers are urged to use horses, and big team or multi hitch setups let one man handle six to eight animals, reducing costs and easing surplus feeds. County agents can provide instructions on multi hitch use.
Ohio State University expert L A Kaufman says proper pre lambing rations boost lamb survival and profits.

Grain should be fed from one month to six weeks before lambing through pasture entry.

A historical note advises regular egg gathering and removing male birds after hatching. It warns eggs are perishable and exposure to light, especially sunlight, harms quality. Sunlit south-facing nest boxes accelerate deterioration in hot weather.
