Hog cholera prevention and vaccination guidance
Dr H J Metzger of the State College of Agriculture Ithaca NY says hog cholera may be controlled by preventing entry or vaccinating hogs before exposure. Vaccination costs about 60 cents for a 60 pound hog and $1.50 for a full grown hog, with immunity lasting life. Carcass disposal and transmission through streams crates rats dogs shoes make prevention essential. Vaccination after outbreak is costly and not fully effective.

Small Flock of Sheep Can Be Made Profitable
The article argues that small sheep flocks can be more profitable than large ones by lambing earlier in March, marketing lambs before peak season, and using goats as foster mothers for disowned lambs. Winter lambing increases effort but doubles returns. dressed lamb prices rise to 30 to 40 cents in June and July, then fall to 15 to 20 cents by October.
Raising and Fattening Calves for the Market
A farmer who raises his own beef cows and fattens calves as yearlings gains advantages over buyers of feeder calves. Selecting pure beef breeds and early maturity cows, he can produce better calves for feeding. Starting grain while calves stay with cows boosts weight and avoids weaning or long shipping setbacks.
Live Stock Feeding and Cattle Handling Notes
The text advises pigs fed grain before weaning and sow access to grain and tankage or skim milk. Polled or dehorned cattle are preferred for market. dehorned cattle are quieter and need less shed space and feed troughs. Horned cattle require more shed space and hay racks. pastured hogs need shade and water. Giornless cattle fetch better prices due to fewer hide injuries. Automatic drinking cups help prevent overdrinking when water is available.
Dairy Squibs and Dairy Farm Improvements
The note discusses calf feeding with salt as calves begin hay and grain, silage for winter, and cow comfort to boost milk yield. It highlights the importance of warm water, water intake for milk flow, and seasonal checks of the dairy stable to reduce labor and increase profits.
Affection Transfer in Calf Rearing for Milk Yield
A dairy practice article argues calves should be fed from a pail and separated early to shift the cow’s affection away from the calf. It claims this increases milk production by training the cow to respond to the dairyman and sustain the calf’s early feeding with hand-reared milk, boosting overall yield.
Dairy Herds Should Cull 20 Percent Says Ohio Expert
North eastern Ohio dairy data show cows producing under 4 000 pounds a year are inefficient. S M Salisbury of Ohio State University notes that among 182 cows tested the lowest ten averaged 3 439 pounds while the top ten averaged 12 740 pounds. He argues more than 20 percent should be discarded to reach a 7 500 pound individual target and an overall herd goal of 500 pounds per cow.
