Milk cooling tank from red drain tile described
Wayne county Indiana dairyman Lewis G Reynolds outlines a milk cooling tank made from hollow red drain tile closed at one end with Portland cement. Water inside evaporates cooling the inner surface to 55 to 65 degrees, with external evaporation keeping it around 80 degrees or lower in light breeze, offering an inexpensive reliable solution.

Corn Silage Most Valuable for Dairy Cows in Trials
In three year feeding trials with dairy cattle corn silage proved 1 percent more valuable than kafir silage and kafir silage 10 percent more valuable than cane silage for milk yield per unit. Yet cane silage, due to higher per acre yield, produced the most milk overall. Cane yields 18 tons per acre generating 30,000 pounds of milk per acre. corn 11.8 tons yielding 22,000 pounds. kafir 11.8 tons yielding 21,670 pounds.
Fall freshened cows and winter feeding guidance
Fall freshened cows fed on dry feed through winter maintain milk flow best. Milk output declines later in this period, while spring pasture boosts production. Calves are in good condition to start grazing then with less required care than spring calves. Winter provides more time for calf care and extra milking.
Legumes in Rations for Efficient Dairy Feeds
Legume roughages are key to economical dairy rations offering high protein and balanced minerals with less reliance on costly concentrates. Alfalfa red clover soybeans and cowpeas are the common types and are favored for palatability in that order.
