Fly Control Tips For Dairies In Summer
Dairymen face big losses from flies in summer. Prevent breeding by hauling manure, darkening barns, and painting windows with alabastine blue. Some use blankets over doors to rub flies from cows, while fly sprays help reduce nuisance and losses.
Hydrated lime aids arsenical sprays for apples
Hydrated lime can reduce calyx injury in apples when used in excess with arsenical sprays. It neutralizes acids liberated by the fruit and soluble arsenic compounds, and it lowers water surface tension so evaporation speeds up if the fruit is wet.
Agricultural Squibs and Farm Practice Notes
This column outlines grain rations as pasture supplements when grass is short, defines a bull association as three or more dairymen pooling bulls, stresses consistent milk temperature for calf feeding, and notes fertilizer attachments for planters as a promising corn distribution method. It also highlights soy bean straw as winter roughage for dairy and beef cattle, plus sheep, and urges proper barn ventilation with four square feet of window per cow to avoid drafts.
Poor Feed Plans Cut Herd Profit
Ohio State University expert L. Blackman warns indifferent dairy feeding raises summer milk drops and uneven production. Plan summer management during good pasture, as May and June yield peak milk. Advices include daytime grazing restriction, extra roughage like silage, potential more grain, and a strong breeding program to align production with market highs.

Grain Feeding Cows on Pasture Proves Necessary
Green pasture is protein rich but low in digestible nutrients so cows milking over 20 pounds daily cannot meet carbohydrate needs from pasture alone. J Nisbt of Kansas State Agricultural College recommends grain feeding on pasture with a mix of 400 lb corn and 200 lb oats per cow, adjusting to milk production and fat content.

Plan Abundant Roughage Supply for Winter
The article urges making roughage the dairy ration base to cover winter needs after a past shortage. It suggests using alfalfa and clover hay as primary feeds, with soybeans as a protein supplement if roughage is scarce, noting soybeans grow on acid soils and need lime and inoculation.
Physical condition of cow at freshening impacts milk yield
Doctor Eckles states the cow's condition at freshening directly affects milk production throughout the lactation. Cows that freshen in poor condition due to prior poor rations perform below normal, and later feeding and management cannot fully compensate.

Pasture Feeding Tips for Dairy Cows
Pasture food value per acre rises when pastures are not grazed too early or too closely. Early pastures are bulky and protein rich. dairy cows should receive supplements of carbonaceous concentrates such as corn, kafir or barley. Grain should be fed at about one pound per five to six pounds of milk produced on good pasture.
Pruning Scars Need Prompt Attention
States Department of Agriculture specialists urge immediate shellac application to pruning scars to prevent cambium death. Use gum shellac dissolved in alcohol only. larger wounds require an additional permanent cover like asphalt, tar, or lead paint. Shellac over cambium and bark edges protects small wounds. clean brushes with borax and water.

Self-Feeding Lambs on Chop Feed Favored at Illinois
Western feeder lambs at the University of Illinois thrived on a self-fed mix of ground corn and chopped alfalfa hay, gaining faster and using less feed per 100 pounds of gain than hand fed lambs. The Nebraska station noted success with cracked corn, chopped alfalfa, and linseed meal, while stressing corn cracking to deter selective eating.

Cross Pollination Guide for Orchards and Bees
New York state college of agriculture advises one bee colony per acre of orchard for cross pollination. Distribute colonies throughout the orchard as most fruits lack pollination and trees bloom. Most apples are self sterile. intercross with fertile varieties increases yield. Diversify blooming varieties and rent skilled beekeepers for pollination. Place pollinator bouquets 15 feet from hives.

Planting Asparagus Depths and Spacing
Asparagus roots should be planted about six inches deep in rows four or five feet apart and the plants two feet apart in the row. In the first year roots are covered only about three inches, with soil later filled in as cultivation continues. The crop needs ample fertilizer and adequate moisture to perform well in suitable soils.
