A factory near Stalingrad uses watermelons as the raw material for strup, replacing cane. The product, called nardek, has long been made by hand and is so popular that beekeeping has declined in the region. High grade strup is used in cooking and confectionery, while poorer grades go to alcohol production.
Fragmentary dialogue shows a conflict about letting a cat outside. The exchange hints at responsibility and blame within a household, with unclear speakers and context.

Feed for calf when possible the calf should stay with its mother two or three days to obtain colostrum. For two weeks only its mother's milk at twelve pounds per day for each one hundred pounds of calf weight. Three feedings better than two. After two weeks gradually switch to mixed milk.

A farmers guide extols cattle as soil builders and steady income. Cattle aid soil fertility by cycling forage into beef or dairy, supporting crops and hogs, with ten to twenty cows on 120 to 160 acre farms as a practical target. An exceptional 40 acre 25 head example is noted but deemed unusual.
A 125 pound pig fed corn alone to reach 225 pounds requires 642 pounds of feed. Corn with tankage needs 884 pounds corn and 82 pounds tankage. Oats with tankage needs 683 pounds oats and 85 pounds tankage. Barley needs 489 pounds barley and 80 pounds tankage. Feeding corn or any listed feed alone is losing. Corn with tankage or barley with tankage yields the best results. If oats are available, a small amount may pay. Wheat should be sold rather than fed to hogs.
The rapid advance of sanitary methods in hog production favors smaller central hog houses and more use of small movable individual houses. The central hog house offers convenience and is likely to be used in cold months, but it creates an unsanitary hog lot condition and is distant from pasturage.
