Insuring the poultry flock against winter blasts protects profits this winter. G T Klein of Kansas State Agricultural College warns incomes depend on housing conditions. A modern poultry house combines scratching, feeding, roosting and laying in one clean, well ventilated room.
A farmer argues that twelve hour winter light for laying flocks can be achieved with artificial lantern light at dawn or dusk. He notes many Iowa farms lack electricity yet have successfully used gasoline lanterns or oil pressure lamps with proper reflectors. Lantern lighting is safe, desirable, and worth trial for homes without electric power.
This article covers turkey care from incubation to housing and feeding. It warns damp houses cause illnesses and loss, washing eggs for immediate use, early laying in Leghorns, and chilly weather. It advises incubating eggs, brooding poults in chick boxes, disinfecting houses, warm drinking water, seven days of antiseptic water, and milk in chick rations. It stresses selecting good cockerels, using straw as litter, culling unpromising pullets, and preventing turkey blackhead by careful artificial hatching and ground conditions.

The aging Athenian statesman Phocion was condemned to death by the state he had served. He faced the hemlock and, needing more poison, offered extra money to obtain it when a court official refused the price.
Extension dairyman James W. Lian warns that cleanliness of calf quarters and equipment is essential to prevent contamination when feeding calf milk or substitutes. He urges washing and sterilizing all gear, maintaining consistent milk temperatures, and weighing milk to the tenth of a pound, with a feeding formula of one pound per ten pounds of calf weight up to 16 pounds daily.
A practical rule for winter feeding suggests one pound of grain per cow per day for each four pounds of milk produced, or one pound per day for every three pounds if milk fat tests 5 percent or more. As pasture quality declines through the season, increase grain gradually while keeping production and cow condition as the main aim. Cows in late recovery not yet producing much may not need concentrate feeds during pasture season.
University of Kentucky dairy expert J. O. Barkmag warns cream spoils even in cold months. Sweet cream stored at 50 degrees for a week yields low quality butter with old flavor. Winter cream in cellars or kitchens picks up odors from nearby foods and heat, and should not freeze to avoid oily, poor butter.
Dairy experts advise on maintaining soil fertility through livestock farming. Monitor cream separator screws as changes affect cream test. Tuberculosis does not pass from cow to calves. calves should stay in good health with legume feed, clean utensils, and normal bowel function. Keep cows housed during cold storms to ensure higher winter milk flow.
