M H Keeney dairy specialist at New Jersey State College of Agriculture offers practical feeding tips to maximize milk. Emphasizes roughage with legumes, succulent feeds, balanced rations, grain by milk output, pasture during gaps, regular feeding, ample water, daily salt, and buying grain by protein and energy content.
When pastures show decline, liberal barnyard manure or acid phosphate with lime can improve soil without plowing. It revitalizes good grasses, reduces weeds, and can yield two to three years of better pasture. If grasses are scarce, combine manure with plowing and reseeding, possibly growing a preliminary crop to cover costs.
Fall plowing destroys many field insects after they go dormant or prepare their winter homes. Delaying plowing until insects are dormant maximizes kills while benefiting soil. Even if insects are not dormant, plowing exposes them to birds and natural enemies.
Hogs fat enough for market suffer in hot weather. Summer shipping demands careful planning and access to transportation officials to ensure animal welfare.
E A Hanson dairy specialist from the University of Minnesota outlines growing and fattening feeds for calves.

Salt should be available freely, and calves should have access to clover or alfalfa every day. Do not let calves or yearlings roam with the herd.
The Bureau of Animal Industry announces a new emblem of improved design for recognizing good work in livestock.

The notice stresses the dairy bull as the most important herd component and encourages farmers to obtain a bull through the county agent or form a cooperative bull association to improve future stock.
Advice on building a silo sized to a herd with a diameter to keep feed at least two inches below surface to prevent spoilage and a depth sufficient for a year’s feeding needs. Emphasizes aligning silo capacity with herd size and annual feeding plan.
The silo is described as a necessity on farms with ten or more dairy cattle and is regarded as the most profitable building on such dairy operations.
The article argues caponizing timing cannot be fixed by age since breeds differ. Monitor comb and wattles growth as they redden signaling reproductive organ development. operating when the comb shows red minimizes death risk and setbacks, while waiting for bright red combs and hanging wattles increases danger.
During fall molt hens pause egg laying as they shed and regrow plumage. Molt lasts about three months, reducing egg output in fall and winter. Early hatched pullets reach laying age sooner and provide the essential egg supply when older hens rest. Hatch early and raise a good brood of early pullets to sustain eggs during scarce months.
Notes that male birds eat more scratch feed and less mash than pullets. Medium sized birds are preferred over very large roosters, particularly for breeding purposes.
As chicks grow they need space and fresh food. avoid crowding and musty feed. Replace with quick growing crops and keep feed hoppers full to prevent hunger. Two year old hens fare poorly at market if kept beyond three seasons. Grit and oyster shell are essential for economy.
