Local Timber Production Supports Wood-Using Industries
The article stresses local timber production to feed local wood-using industries. It notes hog feeding requires access to clean water and a mineral mix with salt at all times and explains soil improvement roles of locust and acacia trees through root bacteria. It also covers factors affecting milk flavor and odors and recommends pasturing management to prevent taint. Flies indicate unsanitary conditions and require control through screens and insecticides. It ends with cabbage worm description and control methods using arsenical poisons while cautioning greens and livestock feed用途.
Salt for cows guidance on daily intake and mixing
The article explains dairy cows should receive salt as needed, with typical milk cows requiring about one ounce per day and higher producers needing more. It notes farmers mix salt into grain, using 1 to 2 pounds of salt per 100 pounds of concentrates, and mentions salt should also be provided in addition to other rations.
Salt for cattle access in barns and pastures
Farmers should provide stock salt in cake form in feed boxes or placed in suitable spots in lots or pastures. Salt should be kept in a sheltered area to prevent rain dissolving it so cows can lick as needed.
