Ohio State dairy extension specialists warn summer milk drops come from overreliance on pasture. They advocate adding roughage via summer silage or green forage, with hay as backup, and advise timed feeding to avoid heat and fly stress for steadier production.
The article warns of a fall production slump in dairy herds as cows are neglected during corn shucking and fall pastures decline. It recommends sweet clover pasture or silage to sustain production, and advises against feeding high producers on cornstalks. When pasture or silage is unavailable, increase concentrated feeds and roughage.
Legume hays supply protein calcium and vitamins for dairy cows. Other roughages lack these essentials, calfing the need to plant more soybeans to avert shortages. Soybeans may be ensiled with corn to boost silage value, aiding cost control and profitability.
Dairy notes emphasize clean cool and covered milk handling plus pasture grazing for yearling heifers. Breeding and feeding to boost one cow output saves money, with Omaha data showing butterfat around 8.5 percent in March 1927. Calving prep includes clean disinfected stalls and proper bedding to maintain herd milk quality.
A reader reports a stubborn cockroach infestation as a “last stand” struggle, with persistent colonies resisting control measures. The note emphasizes resilient pests and a call for stronger, sustained treatments.
Local chatter centers on the underground Surrey Woe Water flowing in Caterham valley. Folklore says its surface appearance every seven years signals a world shaking event, with recent February–March rains blamed for the late rise. Also noted are Mother's and Father's day quips and a Maine fog record of 2,734 hours in 1907.
A German researcher outlines plans for a mammoth deep sea ship powered by new coal energy. London and English scientists report a breakthrough that increases coal output fivefold by optimizing powdered coal feed temperatures. A Petunia constable jokes about a cow with a lantern as a bank robbery chase distracts officials.
In a homey exchange two neighbors joke about seating preferences. Mrs Garb comments on a husband who always seeks a front seat and a Follies crowd, while Mr Garb probes familiarity. The dialogue reveals affectionate shorthand and playful banter in a close community.
