Individuality of Cows in Dairy Feeding Study
Rhode Island station scientist Walter A. Conant studies how different feeds affect milk yield across twelve cows Lucretia and Rotha are highlighted as representative individuals Lucretia a quiet dominant red cow and Rotha a nervous curious Guernsey describe temperament water and feeding preferences The bulletin No 80 details each cow’s diet and milk response concluding hay and fodder first with grain adjusted per cow yields best results for on farm feeding efficiency

Wax Production and Foundation Types in Bee Keeping
Experiments show that about one pound of war is needed for every twenty five pounds of honey stored in the comb. Honey serves as food for wax production, so several pounds of honey may be required per one pound of wax. Wax secretion reduces honey gathering, making foundation choice economically important. Wax is supplied to bees via artificial comb foundation, with various base and cell wall designs. Deep cell foundations are risky unless cell walls mimic natural thinness, and walls must be light to approximate natural comb.

Methods of attaching comb starters in foundations
The article compares thin and extra thin foundations for comb production, finding heavy foundations yield thicker midribs and cell walls, making heavier, waxier combs. It notes best results from long narrow pieces atop sections and discusses attachment methods that favor worker comb growth while noting potential tearing. It ends with brief notes on forestry selection systems and assorted agricultural tidbits.
Winter feeding substitutes for dairying and clover use
Agricultural notes discuss ensilage and root use as cost effective winter feed, claiming no drop in milk with reduced grain when replaced by silage. Remarks from T Lawson in Austria praise ensilage as best summer substitute. Lester E. Warger notes clover seedings improve dairy yields, with seed ratios and crop rotations described. Also mentioned: Watertown pulp mills developing seamless cheese boxes from pulp sheets.

Cornu Smut Trials with Cattle End Beneath Danger
Experiments by the department of agriculture in Washington and at Michigan and Wisconsin stations fed corn smut to cows and heifers. Results varied from no ill effects to sudden death at high doses. Authors conclude smut is not generally injurious but may be poisonous to some animals or in certain years and urge further studies.

Mixed stock feeding from Illinois farmer on sorghum and cowpeas
An Illinois farmer describes sowing four bushels of sorghum seed and one and a half bushels of cowpeas on two acres, then harrowing and rolling. Despite a dry season, he reports good growth and valuable pasture for fall, with cattle and horses fed from the crop. He notes frost impact, stock preference, and rapid improvement as stock ate the fodder. The piece argues for mixed stock farming to diversify risk and utilize varied feeds, citing Wool Markets and Sheep.

Distemper, Blackleg, and Cattle Care Tips From Farm and Ranch
Distemper in horses needs little treatment as animals recover on their own. Blackleg affects young cattle. vaccinate at four months and one year, but protection lasts about a year. Treat facial paralysis with cantharides and hogs’ lard. Use chlorasophthe leum for cattle lice. Advocates corn-based dairy farming, protein crops, and high milk production standards. Winter dairying stressed for cleanliness and air.

Forecasts vary from sharp reductions in wethers and lambs to modest declines, noting market tension from cheap corn and lamb prices. Moser cites later feeder lamb movement from the San Luis Valley and southeastern Colorado, with strong New Mexican range grass conditions. Inspector activity continues as government evaluators assess sheep throughout the south to north movement.

Forage Crops Boost Texas Cattle Capacity Across Lands
An analysis notes western Texas has rough land that cannot be cultivated yet offers vast acres suited for forage crops to raise cattle. Proper cultivation can double and even quintuple feeding capacity, offsetting losses from relying on native grasses. Shredded corn fodder in winter is promising with good drying and careful handling.
