Landscape architects warn that pools often fail as yard beautification projects when not integrated with existing plants and structures. Start with a wood deck, weather the deck, add seating, shade trellis, and a safety fence to merge the pool into the garden as a single outdoor living area.
County Extension Director Eugene Mathern warns that dry cows and heifers are often neglected on farms. Harold Stockdale of Town State University notes flies, including face and horn flies, bother cattle and can be controlled with periodic sprays or back rubbers. Back rubbers with 5 percent toxaphene or 2 percent malathion help reduce bloodsucking flies, while sprays with malathion or toxaphene provide 10 to 60 days of horn fly control and temporary relief from face flies and stable flies.

An expert explains that leaks come from loose exterior mortar or degraded flashing. Remedies include repointing joints with fresh mortar, keeping solid sections intact, damp-curing patched areas, and ensuring a proper chimney cap to shed water. If missing, install a cap to protect masonry and flue lining.
Pork expert Robert Rust of Iowa State University advises choosing pork with a pink lean and a clear white fat, noting marbling for juiciness. Look for chops at least one inch thick, boneless cuts like loin or Boston butt, and consider smoked or cured pork for grilling or spit roasting.
County Extension Director Eugene Mathern warns farmers to stay near the spray tank during filling to prevent back siphon contamination of wells. Iowa State University expert Sylvester notes backflow has affected several farms this year and outlines a multi step flushing process using chlorine bleach or ammonia, followed by washing the well and a final activated charcoal rinse. Do not use the well during cleaning, and provide alternative water sources for livestock and household use. Think twice before leaving the spray tank unattended.
