Uncle Sam invites youths to health and citizenship camps
The National Citizens Military Training Camps offer 40 000 young men aged 17 to 24 a free month of athletic military citizenship training this June through August. The program emphasizes manhood development, self discipline and outdoor life with no obligation to serve in the military. Camps began in 1913 with Plattsburg origins and expanded after the 1920 National Defense Act.

Feeding Ducks for Breeders differs from market stock
Breeder ducks receive lighter rations than market ducks and are not forced. The standard mix uses equal parts corn meal, wheat bran, green feed, with 5 percent beef scraps and 5 percent grit. Breeding ducks are fed 50 percent corn meal, 15 percent wheat bran, 15 percent green feeds, 12 percent beef scraps, and 8 percent grit. mix with water to a crumbly state and feed twice daily.
Proper Feed Selection for Raising Ducklings
Proper selection of feed is crucial for rapid duckling growth and a balanced ration. Investigations show feed value remains similar across large duck raisers, with differences only in mixing qualities. Ducklings grow twice as fast as chicks and eat more, so feed must be easily assimilated. Various feeding methods are recommended for successful duck raising.
Profitable Poultry Raising Tips For Hens and Geese
Practical guidance on poultry management from mineral needs to feeding geese and chicks. Topics cover market timing for Leghorn cockerels, gosling pairing, watering for geese, brooder temperatures to prevent diarrhea, early broiler marketing, roost training, greens as roughage, and the nutrient content of eggs versus tonics.
Liberal feeding of heifers urged for growth and returns
J C Nisbet extension dairyman at Kansas State Agricultural College recommends four feeding rations to improve yearling heifer development. He warns inadequate nutrition delays maturity and reduces size, outlining specifics for alfalfa hay, silage, and grain mixes across different forage availability scenarios.

Don’t Stop Grain Feed During Pasture Season
The article advises dairy farmers to maintain grain feeding during pasture to ensure steady milk flow and cow condition. It cites the Missouri experiment station ration: 300-400 lb ground corn, 200 lb ground oats or bran, 100 lb cottonseed meal, plus mineral mix. Minerals supply lime and phosphate for milk and calf development and may boost resistance to abortion and flies.

Immature Sweet Clover Likely to Cause Bloat
Immature clover presents a higher bloat risk than dew soaked or rainy conditions. Keep cows off pasture until dew dries and provide salt and slaked lime. Feed cows before turning out and avoid exclusive roughage sweet clover to prevent fatal internal bleeding.
Weedy Pastures Harm Dairy Milk Quality
Farm Journal notes weeds such as ragweed pigweed and goldenrod in pastures reduce milk flavor and flow. Cows avoid weeds unless provided with ample roughage grain and supplements. A dairy program using good roughage and ready-mixed feed is advised for quality milk.

Bolt the Separator for Smooth Operation and Safety
The separator must be bolted level to a strong foundation to prevent machine vibration. Start at low speed and gradually reach full speed to avoid undue wear. Fill the bowl with warm water at startup to remove dust and odors and keep milk sweet.
Corn Silage Favored as Succulent Roughage for Livestock
Corn silage ranks first among succulent roughages and is economical for all classes of livestock. It can be fed year round and provides a satisfactory satiny roughage in poor pasture. Properly ensiled it is highly palatable and cows never refuse it, even on good pasture, with no decrease in milk production.
